The final round has come upon us, and it is exactly as painful as you would have guessed. First, here's the two who were tragically knocked out:

Gil Scott-Heron
Nick Cave

Which leaves the final matchup...

5a: Leonard Cohen vs. Joni Mitchell

Got to be Nick Cave, love Scott-Heron but not even close.

Do we vote for the final round here or there will be another thread?

thx, didn't know that.

I have to go with Joni here. But im happy that it came to these two because they're truly the best songwriters of all time. If Cohen pulls through it'll be just as fine.

Joni Mitchell. While their songwriting peaks are basically equal, Mitchell has more of them. And while Cohen *might* be the better pure lyricist, Mitchell's lyrics work better in conversation with the other elements of the song.
