SONG TOURNAMENT XXX

You seem pretty educated to me!

__________________

ROUND 1 DAY 5

Palome Faith - New York VS. Deadbolt - Tijuana Hit Squad
The first was ok. The second was meh.

The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love VS. Martika - Toy Soldiers
The first was good but missed the mark. The second never gets old. I love its haunting nostalgic vibe

Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror VS. Hel - Mörker
The second sucked. Man In The Mirror is one of the finest MJ songs

ZYX - Bad Manners VS. Zhou Xuan - Blooming Flowers and the Full Moon
The first sounded cool, but that second one sounds like something my parents would be listening to if they were Chinese.

Billy Talent - River Below VS. Elvis Costello - Oliver's Army
I'm trying my best to appreciate something about Billy Talent, but they're just not my cup of tea.

Digits - Lost Dream VS. Barenaked Ladies - One Week
It's been...years since I haven't heard One Week.

The Three Degrees-When Will I See You Again VS. The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown - Fire
The 3 Degrees have really good harmony, and an amazing set of legs

Rush - YYZ VS. Rage Against The Machine - Fistfull of Steel
Tough match

Kokushoku Elegy - Kafun Hanzai VS. The Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy)
I Want You is possibly The Beatles' most mind-blowing jam. I wonder why John did not write any more of these babies in his solo career

Sick Puppies - You're Going Down VS. Queensryche - Empire
The second sounded badass

Rush - Marathon VS. Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground
I've heard the second many times and always thought it was cool, but never knew who sang it

Isaac Hayes - Shaft VS. Bob Dylan - Tangled Up in Blue
Dylan song is great, but Shaft is hard to beat

Lonesome Wyatt and Rachel Brooke - Don't Leave Me VS. 2NE1 - Come Back Home
The first missed the mark

The Kinks - Strangers VS. Linkin Park - What I've Done
I love that Kinks song

Katatonia - My Twin VS. Frank Zappa - Why Does it Hurt When I Pee?
Sorry, Frank. But I think it hurt more listening to that song than when you pee

Slayer - Live Undead VS. Linda Ronstandt - Por Un Amor
Second one was bleh

ROUND 1 DAY 5

Palome Faith - New York VS. Deadbolt - Tijuana Hit Squad - Both are ok. Neither really grab me but I found the second less irritating.


The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love VS. Martika - Toy Soldiers - Voting against my own here. I adored Martika (looks and music. She was my big crush before Drew and I've nominated that song a few times)


Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror VS. Hel - Mörker - Never cared much for that Jacko song.


ZYX - Bad Manners VS. Zhou Xuan - Blooming Flowers and the Full Moon - I just preferred it.


Billy Talent - River Below VS. Elvis Costello - Oliver's Army - Another song I've always loved.


Digits - Lost Dream VS. Barenaked Ladies - One Week - I really don't like One Week.


The Three Degrees-When Will I See You Again VS. The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown - Fire - I think I've nominated the first myself sometime, but love Fire.


Rush - YYZ VS. Rage Against The Machine - Fistfull of Steel - It's more familiarity. I don't really care for either.


Kokushoku Elegy - Kafun Hanzai VS. The Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy) - It goes on and does little for me, but it's still better.


Sick Puppies - You're Going Down VS. Queensryche - Empire - It worked better as background music. Don't really care for either.


Rush - Marathon VS. Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground - I'm sure there must be some Rush songs I like, they've put out so much after all, but I'll be damned if I can think of any. It's probably a song I don't even know is them. Anyway, this is another I've nominated before.


Isaac Hayes - Shaft VS. Bob Dylan - Tangled Up in Blue - There's only a couple of Dylan tracks I really like and this is up against Shaft for crying out loud. Another song I've nominated, too.


Lonesome Wyatt and Rachel Brooke - Don't Leave Me VS. 2NE1 - Come Back Home - That's a pretty easy win.


The Kinks - Strangers VS. Linkin Park - What I've Done - Not a Kinks song I care much about. I tossed a coin.


Katatonia - My Twin VS. Frank Zappa - Why Does it Hurt When I Pee? - Am I just tired of it or do the songs get worse towards the end of a round?


Slayer - Live Undead VS. Linda Ronstandt - Por Un Amor - An easy win.

My apologies.

It was not my intention to drag this thing this long, but I've been pretty busy over the last 2 weeks.

Hopefully, it will only take just a few more weeks for it to finish

Hahah!!! I'm on board, don't worry. If it looks like I fell asleep waiting, just kick me!!!

Chelsea Wolfe in there twice!

I knew there was a glitch somewhere.


I'll fix. Thanks!!

Lots of songs this round. Gettin' to it.

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris VS. Propaganda - Dr. Mabuse - Down with the Goo Goo Dolls!


Belouis Some - Imagination VS. Toni Harper - Lady Lonely Wasn't a fan of the first one


Kid Rock - American Badass VS. Nagisa ni Te - me, on the beach Man, Kid Rock is rough.


Charles Trenet - La Mer VS. Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See At least I can dance to the second one?


The Who-Athena VS. DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak I liked both, but vote goes to The Who


Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside VS. DragonForce - Heroes of Our Time Yikes!


Depeche Mode - It's No Good VS. Devilskin - Never See The Light One of my favorite DM tracks of all time. I did like the other track too, but had to vote for The Mode.


The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright VS. Whitewoods - Beachwalk Trippy effects on the second tune make it tough to enjoy. I may have liked it in nineteen-ninety-never.


HOME - Resonance VS. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Rainbow Connection The second tune was kind of a fun cover, but I dug the chill vibes of the first track.


John Morris - The Elephant Man Theme VS. Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction Awesome Megadeth tune!


Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson and Clover VS. Blaze Foley - Election Day Crimson & Clover is a classic!


Frank and Moon Zappa - Valley Girl VS. David Bowie - Space Oddity Tough to beat this classic Bowie track...


Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers VS. blink-182 - The Rock Show Love that Chelsea Wolfe tune! So dark and spooky...


The Supremes - Come See About Me VS. Avatarium - The Starless Sleep Went for the more rockin' tune here...


Rasputina - The Olde Headboard VS. Band of Skulls - Wanderluster These bands were fairly similar; something that doesn't happen often in these random tournaments. The second had a bit more of a smokey coolness to it, so it got the vote. I really liked both.


Kim Wilde - You Came VS. Joy Division - Dead Souls Didn't like either very much


Charlie - Spacer Woman VS. The Stooges - Down On The Street Didn't care for the first tune.


Shinedown - Second Chance VS. Depeche Mode - Everything Counts Another classic Depeche Mode tune.


Linx - Intuition VS. Anderson Paak - Comedown Dat funk...


Crystal Fighters - Follow VS. J. Geils Band - Centerfold Didn't like the stabby synths in the first track...


Madonna - Live To Tell VS. Lissie - Blood and Muscle Although I like some of her songs, Madonna wishes she was even half the vocalist that Lissie is. Lissie sings that second tune with so much feeling...


Lovage - Book of the Month VS. Pink Floyd-Free Four Not a big fan of that era for Floyd. Voted for the other track.


Hell - Darkhangel VS. Thin Lizzy - Out in the Fields Not a big fan of either!


Kid Ink - Cali' Dreamin' VS. Tom Waits - Goin' Out West Not a tough choice for me

ROUND 1 DAY 6


Goo Goo Dolls - Iris VS. Propaganda - Dr. Mabuse
The second was new to me, and more my kind of thing. The Goo Goo Dolls is one of those bands I couldn't get into.


Belouis Some - Imagination VS. Toni Harper - Lady Lonely
Loved that. Hadn't heard it in a while! Need to add it to my 80s ipod folder. The second was awesome too. Tough vote. Went with the ass mobiliser.


Kid Rock - American Badass VS. Nagisa ni Te - me, on the beach
Loved the backing vocals on the second. It took a little while to take off, but I liked it. The first was kind of in my face, but I don't mind aggressive, obviously. I listen to grind. But I don't really know Kid Rock's stuff apart from his one runaway hit that went global. I don't really know what to make of his sound.


Charles Trenet - La Mer VS. Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See


The Who-Athena VS. DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak
I love DJ Shadow. I've seen him live, too. ****ing cool.


Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside VS. DragonForce - Heroes of Our Time
Oh ****, no idea which way to vote. Might have to revisit this. RHCP is one of those bands that's hit & miss with me, so it depends on the song and this isn't a fav. But I really don't like DragonForce's music. They're funny to watch live, though.


Depeche Mode - It's No Good VS. Devilskin - Never See The Light
Not really sure how I feel about the second. I liked the bass...


The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright VS. Whitewoods - Beachwalk
The second was a first for me, and wow, it's quite ****ed up.


HOME - Resonance VS. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Rainbow Connection
The first was new to me and I liked it. I'm also not that great with that kind of punk.


John Morris - The Elephant Man Theme VS. Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction
I love that theme. It's sad and creepy. Never been a Megadeth fan although a couple of songs are good. This is one of them. But it couldn't beat The Elephant Man.


Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson and Clover VS. Blaze Foley - Election Day
One of the biggest getoutamyheads this contest. I'd been thinking about this song for the last couple of tournaments, including this one.

*Frank and Moon Zappa - Valley Girl VS. David Bowie - Space Oddity
*Had to use this alternate link for Frank & Moon Zappa
OOOOH TOUGH, I love both David Bowie and Frank Zappa. REALLY HARD CHOICE.


Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers VS. blink-182 - The Rock Show
Easy vote, I love Chelsea Wolfe and don't like blink182.


The Supremes - Come See About Me VS. Avatarium - The Starless Sleep
Another easy vote as I love the first, not a fan of the second.


Rasputina - The Olde Headboard VS. Band of Skulls - Wanderluster
Another tough one, as I liked both. I hadn't heard the first before. Band of Skulls had the edge.


Kim Wilde - You Came VS. Joy Division - Dead Souls
That's a great Joy Division song.


Charlie - Spacer Woman VS. The Stooges - Down On The Street
I liked the first, but love the second.


Shinedown - Second Chance VS. Depeche Mode - Everything Counts
I love Depeche Mode.


Linx - Intuition VS. Anderson Paak - Comedown


Crystal Fighters - Follow VS. J. Geils Band - Centerfold


Madonna - Live To Tell VS. Lissie - Blood and Muscle


Lovage - Book of the Month VS. Pink Floyd-Free Four
I love Lovage, they're great fun and I hope you all laughed and cringed at that one... but that Pink Floyd song comes off one of my all time favs of theirs, in fact, I almost voted for Obscured by Clouds as my fav PF album in the countdown.


Hell - Darkhangel VS. Thin Lizzy - Out in the Fields


Kid Ink - Cali' Dreamin' VS. Tom Waits - Goin' Out West
Tom Waits is great.

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris VS. Propaganda - Dr. Mabuse

Belouis Some - Imagination VS. Toni Harper - Lady Lonely

Kid Rock - American Badass VS. Nagisa ni Te - me, on the beach

Charles Trenet - La Mer VS. Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See

The Who-Athena VS. DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside VS. DragonForce - Heroes of Our Time

Depeche Mode - It's No Good VS. Devilskin - Never See The Light

The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright VS. Whitewoods - Beachwalk

HOME - Resonance VS. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Rainbow Connection

John Morris - The Elephant Man Theme VS. Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction

Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson and Clover VS. Blaze Foley - Election Day

Frank and Moon Zappa - Valley Girl VS. David Bowie - Space Oddity

Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers VS. blink-182 - The Rock Show

The Supremes - Come See About Me VS. Avatarium - The Starless Sleep

Rasputina - The Olde Headboard VS. Band of Skulls - Wanderluster

Kim Wilde - You Came VS. Joy Division - Dead Souls

Charlie - Spacer Woman VS. The Stooges - Down On The Street

Shinedown - Second Chance VS. Depeche Mode - Everything Counts

Linx - Intuition VS. Anderson Paak - Comedown

Crystal Fighters - Follow VS. J. Geils Band - Centerfold

Lovage - Book of the Month VS. Pink Floyd-Free Four

Hell - Darkhangel VS. Thin Lizzy - Out in the Fields

Kid Ink - Cali' Dreamin' VS. Tom Waits - Goin' Out West

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris VS. Propaganda - Dr. Mabuse (one of my few guilty pleasure songs)


Belouis Some - Imagination VS. Toni Harper - Lady Lonely


Kid Rock - American Badass VS. Nagisa ni Te - me, on the beach (Kid Rock is awesome and yes he's badass)


Charles Trenet - La Mer VS. Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See (hate both)


The Who-Athena VS. DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak (I don't like The Who but it's still better than the second song)


Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside VS. DragonForce - Heroes of Our Time (down with both I wouldn't be mad if the RHCP win and it's a great song from them)


Depeche Mode - It's No Good VS. Devilskin - Never See The Light (I don't like Depeche Mode and this song is no exception)


The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright VS. Whitewoods - Beachwalk (even if Offspring suck in live show it's still a great song)


HOME - Resonance VS. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Rainbow Connection


John Morris - The Elephant Man Theme VS. Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction (One of the best band I've ever seen live and Symphony Of Destruction is always amazing to hear)


Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson and Clover VS. Blaze Foley - Election Day


Frank and Moon Zappa - Valley Girl VS. David Bowie - Space Oddity (probably the best David Bowie song even if it has been nominated 100 times before)


Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers VS. blink-182 - The Rock Show (Great band, great song, one of the few band that rock my childhood)


The Supremes - Come See About Me VS. Avatarium - The Starless Sleep


Rasputina - The Olde Headboard VS. Band of Skulls - Wanderluster


Kim Wilde - You Came VS. Joy Division - Dead Souls


Charlie - Spacer Woman VS. The Stooges - Down On The Street


Shinedown - Second Chance VS. Depeche Mode - Everything Counts (one of the best modern rock track ever)


Linx - Intuition VS. Anderson Paak - Comedown


Crystal Fighters - Follow VS. J. Geils Band - Centerfold (My blood runs cold!! such a classic)


Madonna - Live To Tell VS. Lissie - Blood and Muscle (I would actually vote for anybody against Madonna.)


Lovage - Book of the Month VS. Pink Floyd-Free Four (amazing Floyd song)


Hell - Darkhangel VS. Thin Lizzy - Out in the Fields (great tune)


Kid Ink - Cali' Dreamin' VS. Tom Waits - Goin' Out West
