My picks: Sheep, Shine, Dogs, Wish. The third one was the hardest choice.

Okay, let's wrap this round up before someone comes along and ties up a match....

Round 4 results:
Time vs. Goodbye Blue Sky (4-5)

Who are these fools that didn't vote for Time, I want names...

Or maybe it will make the next round easier

I'm one of them. GBS is just the song I prefer more.

Votes for this round:

Comfortably Numb
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I–V)
Goodbye Blue Sky
Wish You Were Here

We had some 11 vote rounds, and one with 12.

I'll give it a few more hours.

Voted Shine and Dogs.

Despite having only 5 songs, WYWH takes two slots in the final four. Only one from The Wall, and I still think it's crazy that DSotM didn't even make the top 8. Perhaps I should have waited for a couple of more votes in round 4, where Brick Part 2, Time and Money each lost 5-4. But upsets make these things interesting, right?

Here's how the top ten seeds have fared:

1. Comfortably Numb - in the Semifinals
2. Time - lost in round 4 to Goodbye Blue Sky
3. Wish You Were Here - in the Semifinals
4. Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Parts I-V - in the Semifinals

5. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 - lost in round 4 to Vera
6. Hey You - lost in round 5 to Wish You Were Here
7. Money - lost in round 4 to Dogs
8. Us and Them - lost in round 4 to Sheep
9. Echoes - lost in round 3 to Sheep
10. Dogs - in the Semifinals
