I forgot this was still going on! Love both, but must hand it to the very definition of epic songcraft: **Bohemian Rhapsody** ---

**Bohemian Rhapsody** I like the Who better than Queen, but BR is a better song than WGFA. ---

Due to impending board shutdown and upgrade, I’m going to call this one a little early. The two songs are currently tied with 14 votes apiece. Which one will prevail? This is your 24-hour notice. ---

And so it has come to this, a dead heat! I haven’t cast a single vote in this tournament, so it’s rather ironic that the final decision comes down to me. Both songs are worthy, but which is more epic? The winner is: **Bohemian Rhapsody** Thank you all for playing. Any way the wind blows… ---

Sure enough, goddammit, we got fooled again. ---

In case it makes you feel any better, if “Baba O’Riley” had made it to the finals, I would have voted for that. ---

**Won’t Get Fooled Again** (8:31) - The Who ETA: Oops. Missed it. Dang, if I had voted in time, the results would be different. I’m like that guy in that movie where the election comes down to me. Except I’m sometimes funny. ---

Cool! I would’ve voted for **Bohemian Rapsody** , so I guess I cancel you out, **Justin Credible**. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/epic-song-madness-final-round/461260.md?page=1)
