Best Song Tournament 2005

After hearing some positive feedback about last year's tournament, and requests to do another one, here's the 2005 Best Linkin Park Song Tournament thread. I'm back to host and oversee the tournament again.

The main drawback of last year was that it was somewhat confusing because many rounds and categories were going on at once. In addition, you had to browse through pages of posts to see current results and tallies. That's why this year I'm going to eliminate songs one category at a time, before moving onto the next category in the round. The categories will be done;

1: Non-Album/Demo/Solo Songs
2: Hybrid Theory EP
3: Hybrid Theory
4: Reanimation
5: Meteora
6: Collision Course

The top three from each category will move on to the final 18.

The current nominees in Category 1 are;

-- Dedicated
-- High Voltage (Remix)
-- My December

1stp Klosr (Demo), Karma Killer, Points of Authority (Crystal Method Remix), and Superxero (By Myself Demo) have all been eliminated.

You guys can still vote for the songs, but it'd seem kind of pointless because it wouldn't count towards the final number. But you can still do it if you don't want to vote for another song. Strategize, fools.

 

System, Rhinestone, and Points of Authority (Demo 1) have been eliminated.

 

Ten songs have been eliminated, leaving fourteen songs remaining in Category One.

On to Round Two! The remaining songs for you to dwindle down are;

-- A.06
-- Buy_Myself (Marilyn Manson Remix)
-- Carousel (Demo)

-- It's Going Down (X-Ecutioners feat. Mike and Joe)
-- My December
-- Part of Me (Demo)
-- Rock 'N Roll Could Never Hip-Hop Like This Pt. 2 (Handsome Boy Modelling School feat. Chester and Mike)-- State of the Art (DJ Lethal feat. Chester)
-- State of the Art (DJ Lethal feat. Chester)
-- Untitled (In The End Demo)
-- Walking Dead (DJ Z-Trip feat. Chester)

Let's cut this in half. From these 14 tracks, vote for your seven least favorite songs, which will leave seven more remaining.

My votes;

-- A.06
