The Music Monday 2018 Awards - Round 1.2

Welcome back to the Music Monday 2018 Awards, ladies and gents!


In the last round, eight people voted for the best song for each of the first four months. Here are the results!

January: Well, both "Snowball Park" and "Snowy Fields" were tied with 3 votes each . . . I threw them into a decision maker site, and "Snowball Park" was chosen as the winner.

February: "The Tale of Tormak" and "Atonement" were tied at 4 votes each. Once again, the decision maker site was used, and "The Tale of Tormak" is the victor.

March: "Megalovania" easily won with 7 votes. (One person is going to have a bad time.)

April: "The Grand Finale" snatched the victory with 5 of the 7 votes. (Yes, someone didn't vote for this month.)

We thank you for your participation thus far, but the Awards aren't nearly over. Now it's time to move on to the next four months. The contestants are as follows:

May

"Floral Fury" from Cuphead



versus "Rescue" from The Death Cure


June

"Overworld Adventure" from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks



versus "Now" from Detroit: Become Human



July

"Brothers In Arms (Extended Version)" from Mad Max: Fury Road


versus "Phoenix" by MDK



versus "Say" by Gabriel Brown



August

"The Game Has Changed" from Tron: Legacy



versus "Hymn to the Stars" from Starbound




Now it's up to you to vote for the best of each month. Remember, Sunday, February 3rd will be the last day to vote in this round. If it's the 4th and you vote, your picks will not go toward the official tally. Thanks for your help!

Enjoy, and let me know if this round is easier or harder than the last!

    1. (I've never heard someone call that song cute . . . but it's definitely one way to describe it! XD)

      (Yep, that's definitely one of the hardest months for me to vote for.) Gabe makes such great music. He's one of my favorite artists. :D

      Well, better late than never. Haha, I'm glad you do! :)

  2. LOL. I'm the one person who voted for not "Megalovania". XDD Except I LOVE it. But "To the Bone" was just so catchy. So I'm really good with either! You make is so HARD. I like all these songs!

    All right, let's see if I can make hard decisions again ACK.

    MAY: "Rescue" from The Death Cure

    JUNE: "Overworld Adventure" from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (Finally an easy choice. Zelda music is always my favorite. XD)

    JULY: "Phoenix" by MDK (Ugh. This made up for the above easy one. I love the Mad Max music too!)

    AUGUST: "The Game Has Changed" from Tron: Legacy

    Why ya gotta make this so difficult??? I just want to vote for ALL of them!

    1. Yeppers, you're the only soul who would dare defy Undertale's greatness. ;P I'm just joking around, though. The thing about having "a bad time" is just a reference to Undertale. I definitely don't make the voting easy, that's for sure. XD

      (Zelda music is almost always a win. :P)

      (I'm not sure why I chose all those songs for one month. TOO DIFFICULT.)

      Aye, same here . . . But the greatest victories come with the greatest pain! XD

  5. Okay, time for me to (finally) throw in my votes! Let us see . . .

    May: Though I really do enjoy the old-fashioned, catchy style of "Floral Fury," I'm gonna choose "Rescue" instead. Such a great opening song for The Death Cure, and those brass instruments are on-point.

    June: Another fairly easy decision for me. I'm voting for "Overworld Adventure." I mean, c'mon, not only was it for my first Zelda game, but it's for one of my favorite Zelda games to date. Not much competition there.

    July: As I look at the three songs for this month, I have to ask myself: "WHAT WAS I THINKING?!" One does not simply have Junkie XL, MDK, and Gabriel Brown compete with one another. But while this is a hard choice, it's also somehow not. The Fury Road soundtrack is one of my favorites, and "Brothers In Arms" is one of my favorite tracks within that album. So that song gets my vote.

    August: This one's a bit tougher . . . but I'm picking "Hymn to the Stars." It's just such a beautiful, atmospheric piece that makes me emotional and thoughtful. Honestly, the Starbound soundtrack has a lot of great songs like this one.

    I know that the next round is most likely going to be the toughest for me. -_-

    1. I see a common theme here in the fact that people found July very hard to vote for . . . :P And yes, I am indeed a schmuck. Thank you for participating!

  8. May: Floral Fury (although I really like the TMR one, too! XD)
    June: Overworld Adventure (LOZ is my bias, sorry, not sorry XDDDD)
    July: Say (this one was tough for me, too!!! DX But I picked this one because it’s... idk, helped me the most emotionally...? XD)
    August: The Game Has Changed (of the the two to pick from this one stuck out the most to me.)

    1. (Yeah, I was a little torn by that decision as well. :P)

      (The way you say that makes me think of in Super Smash Bros. Brawl when the announcer is like, "No contest!" XD)

      (I think July was definitely one of the toughest months for this year.)

      Thanks for voting!

  9. May: "Floral Fury" takes my vote. I normally would definitely choose the Maze Runner soundtrack piece, but that particular Cuphead song reminds me of the music they play at Nandos. And I love Nandos, so that song gets my vote!! Hahaha

    June: "Overworld Adventure" takes my vote! No contest :D

    July: "Say" ...cos you already got me listening to G-Brown a few song posts ago. I'm biased now.


    August: "Hymn to the Stars" wins for me! Wow that was beautiful. <3

    Thanks again Joe for setting this up for us! :)

    1. *looks up Nandos* I've never heard of this restaurant before, but if they play music similar to that of Cuphead's soundtrack, they've got a win in my books. XD

      Yeah, it's a wonderful song. Super nostalgic for me. :)

      Hey, everyone's got their bias somewhere, am I right? :P

      I know, right? Such a relaxing song.

      No, thank YOU for participating! ^_^
