Banned Band & Artist Song Tournament [Archive] - Page 2

Gbgoodies, you only have nine nominations. I need one more from you. :)

I double-checked, and I counted ten nominations. I added numbers next to the songs listed in my original post so you can figure out which song is missing from your list: (I can add another song if you'd like, but that would make it 11, not 10.)

I tried to keep it all non-country, so we'll see what happens this tournament.

I did a quick check to make sure that I didn't nominate any banned artists, and that I didn't duplicate anyone else's nominations. If I missed something, let me know.

1) Survivor - The Moment of Truth (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9b_aQBf4D2I)
2) Corey Hart - Never Surrender (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj60WPUFs1U)
3) The Thompson Twins - Doctor! Doctor! (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d9fOSG7XphQ)
4) Peter Schilling - Major Tom (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N1Hs2AQwDgA)
5) Mr. Mister - Broken Wings (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nKhN1t_7PEY)
6) Jackson Browne - Somebody's Baby (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M6pT_BDpnog)
7) Foreigner - Waiting for a Girl Like You (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wln6NX0V4AQ)
8) Huey Lewis and the News - Do You Believe in Love (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BzIbyDbmsyg)
9) Train - Drive By (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oxqnFJ3lp5k)
10) Del Shannon - Runaway (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ct8RrKHGKHY)

Gbgoodies, you only have nine nominations. I need one more from you. :)

If you're missing a song in the total, I think I may have found it.

If you did a copy and paste from the song list on the first page, Cricket's last two songs are on the same line, so they look like one song. If you separate them into the two songs, that might fix your total.

I like that "Pharoahs" song. I almost want to vote for it (especially since I don't like the version of "Runaway" that GB used) but it's not gonna win anyway.

4. Soap&Skin - Thanatos

Bang Bang Bang flipped back and forth between being catchy and meh, not bad though.

5. Mr. Mister - Broken Wings vs Grizzly Bear - Marla
Great song, and not a Grizzly Bear track that I expected to see nominated.

6. Velvet Revolver - Let It Roll vs Paramore - Ain't it Fun
I was dreading, dreading, listening to these. I usually hate both of these groups...but actually this wasn't too bad. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to either, but it was pleasant enough.

7. Screamin Jay Hawkins - I Put a Spell On You vs Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

2. The Kingsmen - Louie Louie vs Billy Idol - Rebel Yell
Two iconic songs. Too bad they were paired together

3. Del Shannon - Runaway vs SBTRKT-Pharoahs

I love Runaway. I haven't looked at the scores, but I hope it goes through

4. Soap&Skin - Thanatos
Mark Ronson, The Business Intl. - Bang Bang Bang

I liked both these songs, but Soap & Skin is a band I will now activity seek out. It's the kind of stuff I typically listen to on a daily basis.

5. Mr. Mister - Broken Wings vs Grizzly Bear - Marla

6. Velvet Revolver - Let It Roll vs Paramore - Ain't it Fun

Love Velvet Revolver! I forget who nominated this, but great taste, you!

7. Screamin Jay Hawkins - I Put a Spell On You vs Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

One of the best songs ever recorded and the best version of it!

8. Thunder - She's So Fine vs Queensryche - Della Brown

I liked both, but this is more my speed. Good matches. I hope this continues throughout.

Round 1\Day 1

1. Loverboy-Turn Me Loose vs
White Zombie - Real Solution #9

Like the Zombie song, love Turn Me Loose.

2. The Kingsmen - Louie Louie vs Billy Idol - Rebel Yell

I like Rebel Yell and almost nominated Eyes Without a Face by Billy Idol. However, Louie Louie is a favorite.

3. Del Shannon - Runaway vs SBTRKT-Pharoahs

First time hearing Pharoahs and I liked it. Runaway is a great classic.

4. Soap&Skin - Thanatos
Mark Ronson, The Business Intl. - Bang Bang Bang

Thanatos is not my kind of music, but I thought it was pretty good. I didn't care for Bang Bang Bang.

5. Mr. Mister - Broken Wings vs Grizzly Bear - Marla

For some of these songs, I try to envision myself in a scenario in which I would enjoy them. For Marla, all I could think of was *laying down alone in the dark woods, high, and staring into space. That's not enough to beat Broken Dreams, which I'm not sure if it's the song, or the nostalgia, but I always enjoy listening to it.

6. Velvet Revolver - Let It Roll vs Paramore - Ain't it Fun

First time hearing both; liked both, but Revolver more my style.

7. Screamin Jay Hawkins - I Put a Spell On You vs Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

If that was Creedence instead of Hawkins, this would've been a very difficult choice.

8. Thunder - She's So Fine vs Queensryche - Della Brown

I love these types of bands but I wasn't crazy about either of these songs.

1. Loverboy-Turn Me Loose vs White Zombie - Real Solution #9 - Sometimes I wonder whether Rob Zombie's only talent is making others believe he has talent. It's an amazing gift.

2. The Kingsmen - Louie Louie vs Billy Idol - Rebel Yell - This one was really close. Pretty much any other Billy Idol song would've lost.

3. Del Shannon - Runaway vs SBTRKT-Pharoahs - Runaway was one of the last cuts I made. I love this song and this is the best and, frankly, definitive version. I liked the other song, though.

4. Soap&Skin - Thanatos vs Mark Ronson, The Business Intl. - Bang Bang Bang - It's a bit of a shame I had to vote for one of them.

5. Mr. Mister - Broken Wings bs Grizzly Bear - Marla - Nice and easy.

6. Velvet Revolver - Let It Roll vs Paramore - Ain't it Fun - Not really, no.

7. Screamin Jay Hawkins - I Put a Spell On You vs Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun - I thought this one might be the most difficult choice... Turns out, not so much.

8. Thunder - She's So Fine vs Queensryche - Della Brown - It's the battle of the bores. I think the only Thunder song I ever liked was Backstreet Symphony.

3. Ronnie Cook ~ Goo Goo Muck vs Symphony X - Paradise Lost (I really liked both songs in this match. After listening to the first song, I was sure that it was going to get my vote, but then the second song was even better. The Symphony X song was my favorite song this round.)

4. The Thompson Twins - Doctor! Doctor! vs Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk

5. Gerry Rafferty-Baker Street vs Iggy Pop - Lust for Life

6. They Might Be Giants ~ Birdhouse in Your Soul vs The Village People - YMCA (I was sure that I was going to vote for the song that I already knew, ("YMCA"), because I like that song, but the new song was even better.)

7. April March ~ Chick Habit vs Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World (This was another match that surprised me with a song I've never heard before that I really liked.)

8. Monster Magnet - Space Lord vs Jai Paul-BTSTU

This could be my favorite round of all of the song tournaments. There were several matches that could have gone either way. There were only two songs this round that I didn't like. I think that's a record for me. :)

Love Iggy!

6. They Might Be Giants ~ Birdhouse in Your Soul vs The Village People - YMCA

Glad you liked this, gbg. I call it my personal theme song.

7. April March ~ Chick Habit vs Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World
My nomination and I song I love. I was really happy when I remembered it in time to nominate it. I'm pretty worried about it. It's up against a well-loved song

8. Monster Magnet - Space Lord vs Jai Paul-BTSTU
Another song I love.

I also think this was a good round. Of course three of my songs are in it, but I liked a lot of the others too.

Go - as we have an even number of participants in this tourney I have no problem with foregoing my voting rights in it to avoid the possibility of a plethora of ties until/unless another voter joins in (I really do appreciate how much of an undertaking that would be for someone with no vested interest so to speak). I shall obviously still listen to the nominees as it's a good way of perhaps 'discovering' artists/bands not previously on my radar and that is the main purpose of these for me.

Godoggo

02-14-15, 04:11 AM

You don't have to do that. I'd like for you to vote. Besides VFN might vote and if not I bet JJ or Christine would be an official tie breaker.

That's really nice of you, but I'd like you to stay in unless you've gotten busy or something. It would feel like it will change the outcome of the tournament.

Ties aren't that bad anyway. I was being a bit dramatic in the other thread. If nothing else you can always put the two songs through together to face a third song.

Round 1/Day 2

1. Queens Of The Stone Age - No One Knows vs Chopin - Waltz in A Minor

I saw Queens of the Stone Age live about 20 years ago. I still have the concert shirt, and actually wore it under my sweater today. Despite that, I couldn't have named one song they sang. I thought No One Knows was quite good, and after listening to it, I was pretty certain it would get my vote. When I realized that the other song was just piano, I closed my eyes while I listened; it was beautiful.

2. Yann Tiersen - La Valse D'Amelie vs Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf

Another piano tune that I liked, but Hungry Like the Wolf is just too good.

3. Ronnie Cook ~ Goo Goo Muck vs Symphony X - Paradise Lost

I think Muck could grow on me, but it was just ok for my first listen. I liked Paradise Lost slightly more.

4. The Thompson Twins - Doctor! Doctor! vs Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk

I like that 80's sound, but this was very close.

5. Gerry Rafferty-Baker Street vs*
Iggy Pop - Lust for Life

Two great songs.

6. They Might Be Giants ~ Birdhouse in Your Soul vs The Village People - YMCA

YMCA is such a great party song. I thought the other was ok.

7. April March ~ Chick Habit vs Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World

A pretty easy choice, although Chick Habit was good.

8. Monster Magnet - Space Lord vs Jai Paul-BTSTU

liked both of these.

02-14-15, 10:32 AM

3. Ronnie Cook ~ Goo Goo Muck vs Symphony X - Paradise Lost

I think Muck could grow on me, but it was just ok for my first listen. I liked Paradise Lost slightly more.
Then I'd suggest washing more often. :D

1. Queens Of The Stone Age - No One Knows vs Chopin - Waltz in A Minor - It's a very difficult choice. Another day, another mood and it'd be a different result.

2. Yann Tiersen - La Valse D'Amelie vs Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf - Love Amelie, it's one of my favourites and that music is so evocative of it. But this was the Duran Duran song I was going to put up and the reason I nearly put Duran Duran on my banned list.

3. Ronnie Cook ~ Goo Goo Muck vs Symphony X - Paradise Lost - I love that song. This was an easy one for me.

4. The Thompson Twins - Doctor! Doctor! vs Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk - Most the chart music I hear is because it's used as backing for montages and trailers on tv and this is another one of them. It's a good appropriation of a mid/late 70's funk track. I quite like it. Having gone and listened to it, I think I prefer the girl on X Factor version, though.

5. Gerry Rafferty-Baker Street vs Iggy Pop - Lust for Life - I love both songs so much. Hate that they're paired up right off the bat. However, it has to be Baker Street.

6. They Might Be Giants ~ Birdhouse in Your Soul vs The Village People - YMCA - Again, I love both songs. I can still remember buying Birdhouse In Your Soul and playing it over and over again when it was released. I didn't think YMCA would make it that far, but when I saw this match up, I felt it was doomed and so it's proved. I'd still go with it, though.

7. April March ~ Chick Habit vs Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World - I thought this could've gone either way, but I guess I just forgot how good a song this is.

8. Monster Magnet - Space Lord vs Jai Paul-BTSTU - Sorry, but this one wasn't close.

Round 1/Day 3

1. Mr. President - Coco Jambo vs Goblin - Suspiria (Originale)
Never heard this before, I especially like the psych-rock between 2:30 and 4 min.

2 Otis Redding - Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay vs Sweet Trip-Dsco
I almost banned out Otis Redding too. I basically wanted to ban all 100 artists on this list (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-artists-of-all-time-19691231)(some are fine musicians, but man is it a boring list). Good song, of course, and I'm sure it'll do well in the tournament.

3. Motley Crüe-Home Sweet Home vs Daughter - Youth

4. Earth, Wind & Fire - Boogie Wonderland vs Dinosaur Jr. - Feel the Pain

5. A-ha - Take On Me vs Hot Chip-And I Was a Boy from School
Creative little video in the first song, always stood out as one of the better little stories. Not a big fan of the actual track though.

6. ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man vsCameo - Word Up

7. Blackfoot - Spendin' Cabbage vs The Monkees -Daydream Believer

8. Bachman Turner Overdrive - Ain't Seen Nothing Yet vs The Specials - Ghost Town

1. Mr. President - Coco Jambo vs Goblin - Suspiria (Originale) - I don't mind either, but my current mood suits this better.

2 Otis Redding - Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay vs Sweet Trip-Dsco - I don't mind Dsco. I'd not heard it before, but for me it's background music rather than something I'd really listen to. The other is a stone cold classic.

3. Motley Crüe-Home Sweet Home vs Daughter - Youth - I'm guessing this is one of Swans? :D Whatever, I prefer the glam hair metal ballad to it.

4. Earth, Wind & Fire - Boogie Wonderland vs Dinosaur Jr. - Feel the Pain - Just one of the best songs of all time.

5. A-ha - Take On Me vs Hot Chip-And I Was a Boy from School - This isnt' a bad round so far (with the exception of the last tie.) In another round this might've done better with me.

6. ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man vs [url="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MZjAantupsA"] - Love both songs, but I love one a lot more than the other. I'll probably be listening to both again before I go to bed.

7. Blackfoot - Spendin' Cabbage vs The Monkees -Daydream Believer - Again, really liking both. Some really good stuff for me in this round.

8. Bachman Turner Overdrive - Ain't Seen Nothing Yet vs The Specials - Ghost Town - They're both classics, but I have to go against my choice here. Ghost Town is just that good.

Round 1/Day 3

1. Mr. President - Coco Jambo vs Goblin - Suspiria

I liked Coco Jambo a fair amount for a song that is not my style, but I'm going to go with the uniqueness of Goblin.

2 Otis Redding - Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay vs Sweet Trip-Dsco

Didn't like Sweet Trip enough for this to be close.

3. Motley Crüe-Home Sweet Home vs*
Daughter - Youth

I thought Youth was decent, but I'm getting a little sick of these types of songs. I think Home Sweet Home is one of the greatest rock ballads of all time.

4. Earth, Wind & Fire - Boogie Wonderland vs Dinosaur Jr. - Feel the Pain

Both good but I like one significantly more.

5. A-ha - Take On Me vs*
Hot Chip-And I Was a Boy from School

I remember when Take On Me came out and won all those MTV awards. I wasn't crazy about it then, but it has really grown on me over the years. Boy From School was just ok for me.

6. ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man vs Cameo-Word Up

I liked Sharp Dressed Man more when I was younger, but I still like it, and I'm a big ZZ Top guy. Word Up is also a good song.

7. Blackfoot - Spendin' Cabbage vs The Monkees -*
Daydream Believer

Pretty easy choice, although I thought Spendin' Cabbage was very good after hearing it for the first time.

8. Bachman Turner Overdrive - Ain't Seen Nothing Yet vs The Specials - Ghost Town

I like a couple BTO songs more, but I still like Ain't Seen Nothing Yet more than Ghost Town, which I also liked.

That's not really necessary. That was a one time accident because word up got pasted into my notes without the title accidentally so I didn't really see it to separate it. All the other nominations by the same user that would be paired together have already been separated.

After round 2 though, I will allow two songs from the same user go head to head though. It's only the first two rounds that I take care to separate them.

I thought the song by Daughter was a nice song too, but where could I go tonight to find another guy who likes it more than Home Sweet Home? Certainly not a sporting event or a bar; a library maybe? I don't mean to be critical, but there's been a lot of songs by these female artists with quirky voices singing their slow songs in these tournaments, and I'm wondering why men would find them that appealing.

02-15-15, 06:53 PM

I've never found it to be a chick song. Some girls may like it, but I would say it's men who predominantly listen to Motley Crüe. It's a ballad, sure, but it's a rock ballad. And I don't just mean that match; it seems to be happening a lot. I think at times, people are voting for songs just because they're quirky, obscure, or the underdog. Personally, I usually don't love a song the very first time I hear it, so if I like the other song, it's usually a done deal.

There's a flip side to that. Sometimes someone is so burnt on a song that the song they hadn't heard is refreshing and new.

I'm burnt forever on a couple of nominated songs. No matter how much I used to like them, I really never want to hear them again.

I vote for whatever song I like best and sometimes something new comes
along that becomes one of my favorites of the tournament, like that song by Soap and Skin.

Another point I have is that people that like quirky music are used to quirky music so it doesn't sound as foreign to them. Using the Soap & Skin song as an example again, it was my first time hearing that song but it does fit very well into the wheelhouse of songs I listen to already.

What it really boils down to is a matter of taste. I rarely ever listen to main stream music and if I do it's decades old. I think these tournaments used to have a lot more classic rock minded people participating and that's changed a bit. It's more variety at least. I moan that you can never predict these things but I actually like that. For awhile, and maybe why these stopped for a bit, you knew which song would win a match without anyone ever voting. It got kind of pointless.

1. Captain Beefheart - Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles vs Vanity Fare-Hitchin' a Ride - It's a not a version I care much for, but it's an easy pick for me.

2. Wolfmother - California Queen vs Frankie Valli-Can't Take My Eyes Off of You - I like Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You, but again, it's not a favourite version. Not heard California Queen before, but I thought it was pretty good.

3. Band of Skulls - Wanderluster vs Abe Vigoda - Dream Of My Love (Chasing After You) - Not heard either before, not fussed about hearing one of them again.

4. Marina And The Diamonds - Living Dead vs Devin Townsend - The Greys - I liked both of these. Not heard either before.

5. Ween~ Push th little daisies vs Amorphis - House of Sleep - IT's such a wonderfully stupid, but catchy song. God bless, Beavis & Butthead.

6. Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells vsModern English - I Melt With You - I understand people who think it goes on too long, but I still prefer it. Though I do like I Melt With You. A million 80's movies can't be wrong. :D

7. Godsmack - Immune vs Animotion-Obsession - Had it been the proper version of Obsession it would've been a lot tougher. I'm not sure which I'd have gone with.

8. Melt Yourself Down-Fix My Life vs Oh Land - Renaissance Girls - Not heard either before and liked both. I thought I'd go with the first one but, in the end, the second one sounded like something I'd like on Eurovision.

1. Captain Beefheart - Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles vs Vanity Fare-Hitchin' a Ride
Great track... oh god dammit it's because of Lebowski isn't it. I'm with with SC on TBL. Oh well, still a good track.

2. Wolfmother - California Queen vs Frankie Valli-Can't Take My Eyes Off of You
This sounds like a song I probably should have heard, but I believe it's my first time. It's quite nice.

3. Band of Skulls - Wanderluster vs Abe Vigoda - Dream Of My Love (Chasing After You)

4. Marina And The Diamonds - Living Dead vs Devin Townsend - The Greys

5. Ween~ Push th little daisies vs Amorphis - House of Sleep
I love Ween, but I have to say that I'm not a huge fan of their first 2 albums. I almost nominated What Deaner Was Talkin About for this tournament. I can totally see people not liking this song the first few times they hear it, I didn't.

6. Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
Modern English - I Melt With You

7. Godsmack - Immune vs
Animotion-Obsession

8. Melt Yourself Down-Fix My Life vs
Oh Land - Renaissance Girls
God damn this song is great. Also know that I spared you all a horribly seizure-inducing video that's the actual official version.

I think at times, people are voting for songs just because they're quirky, obscure, or the underdog.

I don't think so. I hate music that is quirky for the sake of quirk. I have a hard time getting into St. Vincent because of that. Obscurity means nothing to me, I just happen to like a lot of music that just happens to be obscure. I like plenty of mainstream stuff, too. I like what I like. The girl I end up marrying will probably be a musician, because I always fall for the musically talented females. No need to be hating. :p

02-15-15, 09:19 PM

There's a flip side to that. Sometimes someone is so burnt on a song that the song they hadn't heard is refreshing and new.

This too. When I was 12 I was a metalhead. I was obsessed with Metallica. I actually had a Motley Crue album I really liked. Alas, I got so burnt out on that stuff that I never listen to it anymore.

My taste changed, and in my opinion got better. Some might disagree with that, but I don't think we need to bash each others tastes here.

I thought One Step Beyond was a little ridiculous, but still not bad. Love Mr. Soul.

3. The Jesus and Mary Chain - Sometimes Always vs Usher featuring Lil' John & Ludicris ~ Yeah

Liked the Usher song more than I thought I would, although that's not my type of music. I liked Sometimes Always a little more, but it could be a little longer.

:rolleyes: I liked the Usher song back when it was populare, and even owned the cd. But now I'm sick of it.

It was overplayed on the radio. Every time you turned it on, there it was. Even I got to be a little sick of it just because it was so CONSTANT. But there's no denying that it was a great song and deserved to be overplayed. And I'm not writing it off now just because it's old. It's a classic song. It was a major hit for good reason.

That Jesus and Mary Chain thing wasn't anything.

Yes, Cricket -- as I controversially said in the '70s Song Tournament -- black musicians are constantly being overlooked and discarded and ignored. Even my Cameo ("Word Up") is already out. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, you're next. I seriously think we ought to have a Song Tournament with nothing but black artists. One that's not just all rap music, like we did have.

I nominated The Jesus and Mary Chain song because it was something I remember fondly from when i was a teenager, it played on MTV's Alternative Nation program fairly often, and I had a bit of a crush on the female singer, Hope Sandoval (also the lead singer of Mazzy Star, who won the female song tournament, I might add).

Round 1/Day 6

1. Jim O'Rourke-All Downhill from Here vs Bon Jovi - Novocaine

Not my favorite Bon Jovi, but it's decent for me, as was the other song.

2. Rob Zombie - Dragula vs
The Sugar Hill Gang ~ Apache (Jump On It)

I liked Apache, but that's a great one from Zombie.

3. Echosmith - Cool Kids vs
Everclear-Santa Monica

I liked Cool Kids, but this is an easy pick for my taste.

4. Dark Tranquility - The Silence In Between vs Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth

Not my favorite Springfield(that would be Mr. Soul) and it's played out, but no matter what, it's a great song. I didn't care for the dude's voice on the other.

5. Jackson Browne - Somebody's Baby vs John Carpenter - Halloween Theme

The Halloween theme is amazing, but Somebody's Baby is a favorite of mine.

6. Spirit-I Got a Line on You vs
Train - Drive By

That Spirit song was one of my favorites back in the days of non-stop booze, drugs, and slutty women. It still gives me fresh thoughts when I listen to it. I liked Drive By.

7. InXS - Pretty Vegas vs
Golden Earring-Twilight Zone

I've never felt a song's lyrics as strongly as I have with The Twilight Zone. When I was in big trouble, I spent every night on the streets, all night, for about 3 years trying to get out of it, and this song had a lot of meaning for me. I also really like Pretty Vegas, and was a huge fan of the show Rock Star, which is where INXS found that lead singer.

8. Imagine Dragons - Radioactive vs Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills

Two very good songs.

2. Rob Zombie - Dragula vs The Sugar Hill Gang ~ Apache (Jump On It) - Really? Rob Zombie? I don't mind Apache, but this is much more a vote against than for.

3. Echosmith - Cool Kids vs Everclear-Santa Monica - Liked both, but preferred Cool Kids.

4. Dark Tranquility - The Silence In Between vs Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth - This is an easy one for me. Love this song.

5. Jackson Browne - Somebody's Baby vs John Carpenter - Halloween Theme - Another easy one.

7. InXS - Pretty Vegas vs Golden Earring-Twilight Zone - again, I like both, but like this one more.

8. Imagine Dragons - Radioactive vs Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills - I wasn't expecting Iron Maiden to win the tournament or anything and the other song isn't bad, but if this Maiden track loses to that, I'll be annoyed.

1. Bjork - Joga vs
Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music
Really hard choice actually, both of these are favorites going way back.

2. Tchaikovsky - Arab Dance vs Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX - Fancy
I really dig the soft tugs on the strings in the background.

3. New Order- Bizarre Love Triangle (Step Pettibone Extended Mix) vs
Soen - Void
This is my favorite version of this remix, it's on the DJ Kicks that Hot Chip put out, and I like their edit, although out of context the song does stop kinda suddenly rather than pivot into the next track.

4. Steppenwolf - Born to Be Wild vs Meat Puppets - Backwater
I haven't listened to this song (or MP in general) for a long time, I've missed it, it's still fantastic.
Some things never change.

5. The Ramones - I Don't Wanna Grow Up vs Modest Mouse~ Bukowski

6. Foreigner - Waiting for a Girl Like You vs Katatonia - Unfurl

1. Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast vs The Field-A Paw In My Face - Well done. That might be the most annoying piece of music ever created. I'd rather listen to Mr. Blobby than that.... Twice. Despite that, it's up against a stone cold classic of the genre, so it could be good and I'd have done with the other.

2. Survivor - The Moment of Truth vs The Beastie Boys - Fight For Your Right (To Party) - Party classic.

3. Deee~Lite ~ Groove is in the Heart vs Billy Idol - White Wedding - Argh. This is a horrible match up. Shame one has to go. I ended up tossing a coin.

4. Electric Light Orchestra - Don't Bring Me Down vs Everclear-Father of Mine - I could've sworn I saw ELO on the banned list. I'd have had Mr. Blue Sky again. :D Other song is good, though.

5. Warm Digits-Weapons Destructionvs Imagine Dragons - On Top of the World - Man, which do I hate more? I don't want to vote for either but, on the tracks themselves, I suppose I have to go with the Dragons.

6. The Knack - My Sharona vs Caribou-Odessa - Sorry, the other track never had a chance with me.

7. Ram Jam - Black Betty Vs Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - I Second That Emotion - Not much of a Smokey fan anyway, but I'm going with Ram Jam.

8. Coldplay - Fix You vs Faith No More - Epic - As it turns out, I like this FNM track but I hate Coldplay. Actually had them on my banned list but took them off because I thought if anyone put them, it'd lose. Hope I was right. *fingers crossed*

Round 1/Day 8

1. Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast vs The Field-A Paw In My Face

For whatever reason, I've never really gotten into Iron Maiden, although I do like them when I hear them. The other song was pleasant.

2. Survivor - The Moment of Truth vs The Beastie Boys - Fight For Your Right (To Party)

Like both, but an easy choice.

3. Deee~Lite ~ Groove is in the Heart vs Billy Idol - White Wedding

Too bad to vote against Groove but White Wedding is a favorite.

4. Electric Light Orchestra - Don't Bring Me Down vs Everclear-Father of Mine

I loved Don't Bring Me Down when I was very young; I still like it but that's not enough here.

5. Warm Digits-Weapons Destructionvs Imagine Dragons - On Top of the World

Easy choice; I went with the shorter one.

6. The Knack - My Sharona vs Caribou-Odessa

My Sharona was one of the first records I ever bought, and I still like it. I liked the other one a little.

7. Ram Jam - Black Betty
Vs Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - I Second That Emotion

Black Betty is a funny song for me; sometimes I love it, sometimes not. I always love Smokey.

8. Coldplay - Fix You vs Faith No More - Epic

One of the best concerts I ever saw was at Foxboro Stadium when Faith No More opened a triple bill with Metallica and Guns N' Roses. I didn't care for the Coldplay song.

Super hook.

8. Coldplay - Fix You vs Faith No More - Epic
Never liked FNM's aesthetic. However, the keyboardist for FNM went on to put together a lovely indie-pop group, Imperial Teen.

I was at that show. It was good, except G&R was super late, and they kind of sucked at that show. I had seen them at the Centrum at the start of the Use Your Illusion Tour, and it was like a totally different band had arrived at Foxboro. Metallica and FnM were amazing, though, even with the injured Hetfield turning over guitar duties to a sub due to his wrist injury.

This is a question for gbgoodies and Sexy Celebrity. When you put the links into the random list generator do they ever split? Like the first part of the link acts like it's a separate thing from the second half so it goes different places and I have to find both halves and put it together.

I can't see any rhyme or reason why this happens. It doesn't happen to a lot of them just a few. I copy & paste directly from the post so I'm not fooling with them anyway. I've also gone back to see if their was anything different about the links that separated such as a space somewhere that shouldn't be and there isn't.

Can either of you shed some light? In small tournies like these it isn't a big deal, but a mega one it sure can be a pain.

That didn't happen to me when I used the randomizer, but I copied everything into a Windows Notepad file first, and then I copied it from there into the randomizer.

If you use Windows Notepad, (or any basic text editor), just make sure that word wrap is OFF before you c+p the list. If word wrap is on, the randomizer will see the entry as two separate lines if it's too long.

Yeah, I don't know that is the problem because it was DayDream Believer and The Specials~ Ghost Town that split. There are a lot longer titles.

It's not a huge deal. I just thought if it happened to you guys you knew how to avoid it. It's probably a weird IPhone thing. It interacts weirdly with some stuff.
