Question by : R&P: Let’s decide — What are the best songs of 2009 (Round 1 – Part 21)?
The First Annual Rock & Pop Best Song Competition (2009 Edition).
Part twenty-one of the first round. More to come, and you don’t have to have voted in previous parts to get started here.
My personal life is in shambles, but this continues to soldier on (a few weeks late…. I’ll try to be better about this, but until things are stable… keep a keen eye out for more. Also, I’ll try to be better about answering your questions…. it’s been weeks if not months).

Paper Moon by Our Lady Peace

pants off dance off!
You, the community here at Yahoo! Answers, nominated 350+ songs, your favorites of the year, to face-off in head-to-head battles, tournament style, to determine the best songs of this calendar year.
I ask that you listen to all of the songs… don’t vote on name alone. Listen to them, weigh them, and then choose with reason, which song is the better of the two in the given match ups.
Star it, and try to get as many voters to this thing as you can.
All comments are meant to be in good humor.
If you have any trouble with any links, or any of them are broken — let me know, and I’ll fix them ASAP. Thanks.
So, THE QUESTION: which songs do you subjectively prefer of each these match ups (even if it’s only the lesser of two evils in your eyes)?
Hey, Dookie…. I had that song in a previous part months ago…. but thanks for playing.
