The Music Monday 2018 Awards - Round 1.3

Come, one and all, to the next round of the Music Monday 2018 Awards!


We had nine participants vote in the previous round, so now it's time to tally up the results.

May: "Rescue" won by a long shot, with 7 of the 9 votes. (Apparently people prefer daring assaults on trains over fighting giant flowers.)

June: Another obvious victory, with "Overworld Adventure" landing 8 votes. (Whoop-whoop! Spirit Tracks needs all the love it can get.)

July: This one was a lot closer, but "Say" won with 4 votes. ("Phoenix" got 3, and "Brothers In Arms" got 2.)

August: Yet another easy win, as "The Game Has Changed" received 7 votes. (Goes to show that a bad movie can have a great soundtrack.)

It is time for the final four months! Trust us when we say that things only get harder from here . . .

September

"Strike the Earth! (Plains of Passage)" from Shovel Knight


versus "Main Theme" from Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney


October

"Day of the Departed" by The Fold


versus "Halloween Party 2012 Main Room Theme" from Club Penguin


November

"1,000 Doors" by The Living Tombstone


versus "Saviors of the World" by Skillet


December

"Homecoming Hijinx" from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze


versus "Ice Ruins" from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds



 versus "Undertale" from Undertale




This round is in your hands now. You've got until Sunday, February 17th, to vote in this round. As per usual, any votes given on the 18th and beyond will not count. Thanks again for your continual participation!

Let me know just how difficult this round is!

  1. Yay! I've been waiting for this last round. Except the whole making decisions thing is so haaard.

    *deep breath*

    SEPTEMBER: "Main Theme" from Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

    OCTOBER: "Day of the Departed" by The Fold (This one was hard to choose because each song was so DIFFERENT. I liked them in different ways. AGH. Why do you do this to us?)

    NOVEMBER: "1,000 Doors" by The Living Tombstone (JOSIAH. I just sat here for like 5 minutes in great distress trying to decide. Because I LOVE Skillet, but 1,00 Doors was just so, SO catchy and adlkjf;lkjsd. I can't believe I'm not voting for Skillet but...but yeah. I think I might like 1,00 Doors a teeny tiny micro ounce more??? I DON'T KNOW.)

    DECEMBER: "Undertale" from Undertale (I can't believe I'm voting for something that's NOT Donkey Kong or Zelda. o.o I loved all of those songs, but Undertale is just so emotional and beautiful.)

    *COLLAPSES* This may have been the hardest voting round yet. I adore ALL these songs! I'm super curious to see which ones win because they're all just so good!

    1. Trust me, the next two rounds are going to be WAAAY harder than this one, or any of the previous rounds. XD

      Good choice!

      (Yeah, they are very different in styles and whatnot. Because I'm cruel, that's why! :P)

      (Whoa, that was totally unexpected! I thought for sure you were gonna vote for Skillet. It's good to know that you can subvert my expectations.)

      (Well, the Undertale soundtrack is some pretty stiff competition, to be fair.)

      I'm curious about that too! Hopefully the best ones win! Though which ones are the best is subject to one's opinion, of course. :P

    1. Technically, it's from Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, but I'll forgive you this time. ;P

      You're welcome, and thank YOU for voting. Same here!

  5. All right, I'm finally going to vote . . .

    September: Okay, this was somehow super hard, yet super easy. While "Strike the Earth!" has helped me fall in love with the Shovel Knight soundtrack and its chiptune style, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has become one of my all-time favorite games. Naturally, I adore its gorgeous soundtrack, so I'm voting for "Main Theme."

    October: Ooh, the nostalgia is real with that Club Penguin song . . . But the vocals in "Day of the Departed" are hauntingly wonderful, so I'm going with that song instead.

    November: "Saviors of the World" not only reminds me of Shattered and my precious boys, but it also motivates me and makes me wanna write that series more. So it's not much of a competition.

    December: Another seemingly hard choice with an obvious answer for me. "Undertale" is one of THE best pieces of music I've ever heard. While the other two options are amazing as well, they don't touch the greatness that is "Undertale," which is getting my vote.

    I wonder what this round's results will be . . .

  7. Ooo, so many good songs! XD

    September: Strike the Earth! (I love the feel of this one. It makes me think of old LOZ and Kirby games with a touch of Undertale. CX)
    October: Halloween Party 2017
    November: Saviors of the World (October and November were an equal toss up for me so I just kinda pick one randomly. XDDD)
    December: Undertale (that one won for me hands down XD)
