Dead Can Dance - Persephone vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Still Unbroken (I quite liked the first. I didn't think it was interesting enough to go on that long, though. TBF, it wouldn't really have mattered though because while I'm not a big Southern Rock fan,that's a good track. :up:)

Scissor Sisters - Take your mama vs. The Causalities - Soldado (Like a lot of Scissor Sisters stuff, it's OK but I tire of it long before the end. It's like badly watered down disco. The other's just shouty punk rock, but I like shouty punk rock so it's a win. Why are the singing about a non scoring Spurs striker though? ;))

Bon Iver - Perth vs. Iggy Pop - The Passenger (I'm not an Iggy fan. This is an ok song and I prefer to listen to it than the other... Just. Maybe it's just familiarity?)

Roger Daltrey - After the Fire vs. Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy (I don't really care about either that much, but I'm not much of a Who fan, let alone Daltrey on his own.)

Dead Can Dance - The Host of of Seraphim vs. I'm a Believer - Monkees (I'll admit that I didn't listen to all of the first one. Unless it's radically different in the second half I'm sure this is an easy Monkees win..)

Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover vs. Gary Puckett & The Union Gap - Young Girl (I love this song and I've never been a fan of either Simon or Garfunkel whether together or apart.)

All That Remains - Two Weeks vs. Linkin Park - Hit the Floor (Oh God. Really? Does one of these actually have to go through? Can't we knock them both out and put the next two through?)

Gay Bar - Electric Six vs. The Who - Pinball Wizard (It's as unfair that one of these has to go out as it is one of the previous two is going through. Atm, I'm in more of a Gay Bar mood.)

ROUND 1 - Day 11

Dead Can Dance - Persephone vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Still Unbroken

After reading Christine's comment about the video, I listened to the song "Persephone" without looking at the screen just to be safe. (Hubby said that it wan't spiders, but it was someone cutting off a hand.) But based on the songs, I would have voted for "Lynyrd Skynyrd - Still Unbroken" regardless of the videos.

I just looked to see who nominated Dead Can Dance. I think Sci-Fi Slob, you're going to be in trouble when GBG looks at the video for Persephone. Even I thought it was disturbing :D

Scissor Sisters - Take your mama vs. The Causalities - Soldado

Bon Iver - Perth vs. Iggy Pop - The Passenger

Roger Daltrey - After the Fire vs. Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy

Dead Can Dance - The Host of of Seraphim vs. I'm a Believer - Monkees (Easy choice. I love Neil Diamond, but this version is even better than Neil Diamond's version.)

Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover vs. Gary Puckett & The Union Gap - Young Girl (Very tough choice. I love both of these songs.)

All That Remains - Two Weeks vs. Linkin Park - Hit the Floor (I didn't like either of these songs. :( )

Gay Bar - Electric Six vs. The Who - Pinball Wizard

ROUND 1 - Day 12

Three Days Grace - Break vs. Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy

I like the singer's voice from Three Days Grace-decent song. I really liked the other one.

Four Tet - Hands vs. Deep Purple - Child in Time

Not crazy about Child in Time and it's long, but the other one is like watching a movie in which nothing happens.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance vs. Billy Talent - Devil On My Shoulder

I almost went the other way because I hear Last Dance a couple times a week. Not quite.

Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag vs. Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch

I quite liked both of these although I wish the chorus from Dirtbag was better.

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up vs. Johnny Logan - Hold Me Now

I thought Johhny Logan was a but lame, and Fever Ray was decent.

The Casualties - We Are What We Have vs. Terry Reid - To Be Treated Rite

The Reid song has a nice, haunting way about it, while the other is a little crazy for me.

Bob Welch - Ebony Eyes vs. Lead Belly - Midnight Special

I liked the 2nd but prefer the CCR version. I've always liked Ebony Eyes.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John vs. Digable Planets - Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)

Yellow Brick Road is another that I'll never love like I once did just because it's played so often. I still consider it to be one of Elton's best. The other wasn't that annoying but it was kind of bland.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance vs. Billy Talent - Devil On My Shoulder
Not a fan of Tom Petty's voice.

04-19-15, 11:54 AM

Four Tet - Hands vs. Deep Purple - Child in Time (Deep Purple FTW)
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance vs. Billy Talent - Devil On My Shoulder (One of my favorite band + one of my favorite song from this band)

ROUND 1 - Day 12

Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xuz94ZIPfJk)
Fairly apathetic to both. Pretty much a coin toss here.

Deep Purple - Child in Time (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PfAWReBmxEs)
I don't think I've ever heard anything from these guys before except "Smoke on the Water." This is pretty good.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aowSGxim_O8)
There's only one artist in the world that I'd consider voting for over Tom Petty, and that artist definitely is NOT Billy Talent.

Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xat1GVnl8-k)
I hate this song but I hated the other one more.

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4F-CpE73o2M)
Another apathetic coin toss.

Terry Reid - To Be Treated Rite (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha1r-zpdcQc)
I'm rather liking this tune. It's pretty. Not that it matters, that other thing was freaking awful, so this would have to be considerably worse for me to vote the other way.

Bob Welch - Ebony Eyes (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FnJOsfalSYs)
CCR's Midnight Special is definitely better, plus Welch is my nom.

Digable Planets - Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat) (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cM4kqL13jGM)
I like Elton John and that's a good song, but I love this song.

04-19-15, 04:28 PM

Three Days Grace - Break vs. Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy (It's a pity that Break was against Smalltown Boy because I liked it. Good song. Love Smalltown Boy, though.)

Four Tet - Hands vs. Deep Purple - Child in Time (I don't like either, so I've gone for the much shorter one)

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance vs. Billy Talent - Devil On My Shoulder (I don't mind either, but I guess I'm in a more rocking mood atm.)

Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag vs. Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch (I hate that Bloodhound Gang song. Always have, probably always will. I like Teenage Dirtbag, too.)

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up vs. Johnny Logan - Hold Me Now (This is a weird one because I don't actually like Hold Me Now very much. I put it in because it was a Eurovision winner, like the rest of them, and because it did really well in the charts. Despite that, I'm still going for it. It's probably just familiarity or nostalgia but I honestly thought I'd be voting against it. :D)

The Casualties - We Are What We Have vs. Terry Reid - To Be Treated Rite (Again, I'm just in more of a rocking mood atm. It was closer than I thought it'd be, though.)

Bob Welch - Ebony Eyes vs. Lead Belly - Midnight Special (Not heard much of Lead Belly but haven't really cared about what I have heard. Quite liked the other one.)

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John vs. Digable Planets - Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat) (Not a fan of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. That and how much I like Rebirth Of Slick makes this an easy one for me.)

04-19-15, 06:01 PM

ROUND 1 - Day 11

Dead Can Dance - Persephone vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Still Unbroken
("Persephone" is hauntingly beautiful, whereas "Still Unbroken" isn't really Lynyrd Skynyrd, in my opinion.)

Scissor Sisters - Take your mama vs. The Causalities - Soldado
(Even though I nominated "I Can't Decide" by the the Scissor Sisters, "Take Your Mama" is really the only other song of theirs with which I'm familiar. I like their sound. The disco vibe, the high-pitched vocals, the flamboyancy. As for "Soldado," I admire the aggression, but it's kinda giving me a headache at the moment.)

Bon Iver - Perth vs. Iggy Pop - The Passenger
(When I hear Bon Iver, I always think of a parody I once saw of him on SNL in a skit making fun of "white people music." Anyways, "The Passenger" is my nomination. It's a bit too long and repetitive perhaps, but it's still an all-time great tune.)

Roger Daltrey - After the Fire vs. Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy
(Roger Daltrey without Pete Townshend and Keith Moon is considerably less cool. Muddy Waters, on the other hand, invented cool.)

Dead Can Dance - The Host of of Seraphim vs. I'm a Believer - Monkees
(Two Dead Can Dance songs in one group? I'm already familiar with this track since it's used to great effect in The Mist. Like "Persephone," this track is also hauntingly beautiful. Dead Can Dance seem to make perfect music to listen to when facing impending doom. If a rogue planet is hurtling toward Earth like in Melancholia, you better believe I'll be rocking out to some Dead Can Dance when the moment comes. As for "I'm a Believer," every time I hear that song nowadays I think of Shrek, and that's not a good thing, in my opinion.)

Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover vs. Gary Puckett & The Union Gap - Young Girl
(I'm not really a fan of Paul Simon or Simon & Garfunkel. Their music is too sleepy. However, I've had "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" stuck on my mind for weeks. I was watching a rerun of Saturday Night Live recently where Simon performed this song; then Miley Cyrus sang a cover of it on the SNL: 40th Anniversary Special. Somehow I had gone my entire life without hearing this song or taking notice of it, but now I really dig it. I guess I'm a sucker for rhyming names or something. "Young Girl" is also a good song, but I'm not voting against my own nomination.)

All That Remains - Two Weeks vs. Linkin Park - Hit the Floor
(I feel shameful and dirty for voting for a Linkin Park song, but it's marginally better than that other song.)

Gay Bar - Electric Six vs. The Who - Pinball Wizard
(I'd rather play a mean pinball than go to a gay bar. Besides, I have Sexy Celebrity for that.)

04-19-15, 06:33 PM

ROUND 1 - Day 12

Three Days Grace - Break vs. Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy (I didn't really care for the singer's voice, but it was still better than the other song.)

Four Tet - Hands vs. Deep Purple - Child in Time (I liked the beginning of the Deep Purple song, but then it got loud and banging, making it an easy choice for the other song.)

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance vs. Billy Talent - Devil On My Shoulder (I'm not really a fan of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, but that song was much better than the Billy Talent song.)

Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag vs. Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch (I didn't really care for either song, but I also didn't hate either song.)

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up vs. Johnny Logan - Hold Me Now (I've never heard of Johnny Logan, but this was my favorite song from this round.)

The Casualties - We Are What We Have vs. Terry Reid - To Be Treated Rite (I didn't think I was going to like the Terry Reid song when I saw the picture in the video showed that it was from The Devil's Rejects, but I was pleasantly surprised.)

Bob Welch - Ebony Eyes vs. Lead Belly - Midnight Special (Both songs are good, but I prefer the other version of "The Midnight Special" better.)

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John vs. Digable Planets - Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat) (Easy choice.)

04-19-15, 07:18 PM

ROUND 1 - Day 12

Three Days Grace - Break vs. Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy
(The reason I stopped listening to modern rock radio is because all the songs sound exactly the same to me. Case in point: "Break." At least "Smalltown Boy" stands out, even if I didn't love it.)

Four Tet - Hands vs. Deep Purple - Child in Time
("Child in Time" is my favorite Deep Purple song. I've thought about nominating it myself, but I try to stick to songs that are under five minutes in length. It's an amazing song, though. That guitar solo is especially phenomenal and I love the vocals. I've always loved songs that start slowly and build to something really heavy by the end. This is Deep Purple's "Stairway to Heaven." I'd be happy if this wins the whole tournament, even though I know it won't.)

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance vs. Billy Talent - Devil On My Shoulder
(And people say Tom Petty has an annoying voice. :rolleyes:)

Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag vs. Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch
(I guess you can call "The Bad Touch" a guilty pleasure of mine. It's incredibly stupid, but it appeals to my juvenile sense of humor. Plus the chorus is damn catchy.)

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up vs. Johnny Logan - Hold Me Now
(After his nominations in this tournament, Honeykid is forbidden from ever making another disparaging remark about anyone's taste in music. If I didn't know better, I'd say he's trolling us. The Fever Ray song grew on me the longer it played.)

The Casualties - We Are What We Have vs. Terry Reid - To Be Treated Rite
(Terry Reid was Jimmy Page's first choice for Led Zeppelin, but Reid turned him down. He also turned down Deep Purple. That speaks to his amazing talent, but it also explains why he isn't as well-known as he should be. The Devil's Rejects is the movie that first introduced me to this song. Say what you will about the film or Rob Zombie, but he put together one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, in my opinion. "Rock On" by David Essex is another song from the soundtrack that I nominated in this tournament, although it's yet to show up.)

Bob Welch - Ebony Eyes vs. Lead Belly - Midnight Special
(I hate having to vote against either of these songs, but "Ebony Eyes" is the one I'm more likely to go back and listen to again and again. This was my first time hearing it. I'm surprised by how much I like it. Great song. So is "Midnight Special," but I agree with the others who say that CCR did it better.)

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John vs. Digable Planets - Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)
(I can't believe "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" isn't winning in a landslide.)

Glad you liked it. :)

It's a shame Welch isn't very well known, though he had a few solo hits including this one. I also recommend checking out Sentimental Lady (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eM_9nfDMzE8), probably his best known song, though it's a much softer song than this one.

I'll also leave Day 11 (list of matches is on Page 28) open for another 12 hours as there are still a couple of matches (Persephone vs. Still Unbroken & Take Your Mama vs. Soldado) where another vote would split them.

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up vs. Johnny Logan - Hold Me Now (I've never heard of Johnny Logan, but this was my favorite song from this round.)
The only person to win Eurovision every way you can. Singing someone else's song, singing their own song and writing a song for someone else.

04-20-15, 07:35 AM

Suzi Quatro - Devil Gate Drive vs. BarlowGirl - Never alone (I really liked the BarlowGirl track. :up: Sadly it's up against a song I really like and have nominated myself in the past.)

Deadmau5 - Strobe vs. Quiet Riot - Metal Health (A song I liked listening to and one I didn't. Easy choice. I could've voted this way before the end of the intro.)

Gary Jules - Mad World vs. Styx - Renegade (I usually don't get the appeal of Styx beyond being an ok rock band, but that's one of their better songs. Still, it's no match for this version of Mad World. I'd have probably voted for the TFF version, too.)

David Essex - Rock On vs. The Boxtops - The Letter (I liked The Letter. There's plenty of songs that would've beaten for me. This, however, is not one of them. Love this song and I've nominated it before. Good work, Captain. :up:)

Them - Here Comes the Night vs. Bastille - Pompeii (Neither are bad but I don't care about either and was waiting for both to end. Coin toss I'm afraid.)

Cream - I Feel Free vs. Chris De Burgh - Don't Pay the Ferryman (Why do people like Chris De Burgh? Cream all the way in this one.)

Damian Marley - Make It Bun Dem vs. Cream - Tales Of Brave Ulysses (I did quite like the Damian Marley track, which surprised me because I've never liked his stuff before.)

MF DOOM - That's That vs. Eminem - 8 Mile (Not bad and a lot shorter than the whiner.)

ROUND 1 - Day 13

Suzi Quatro - Devil Gate Drive vs. BarlowGirl - Never alone

Tough choice because I liked both. I wanted to like Devil Gate Drive more than I did, but still, I stands out a bit.

Deadmau5 - Strobe vs. Quiet Riot - Metal Health

Nothing wrong with Strobe, except that I don't get excited over instrumentals. Metal Health, more than any other song, is a song that no matter where I am or what time it is, I turn that volume all the way up. Like the great Derek Vinyard would say, that song completely rock !

Gary Jules - Mad World vs. Styx - Renegade

I very nearly went the other way because that Mad World is a great song, and I've heard Renegade way too many times. That used to be my favorite Styx song though, so I didn't want to turn on it quite yet.

David Essex - Rock On vs. The Boxtops - The Letter

I've always thought The Letter was a very good, yet unremarkable song. As long as I don't hear Rock On too much, it's a huge treat whenever I listen to it.

Them - Here Comes the Night vs. Bastille - Pompeii

Here Comes the Night was one of the first favorite songs I ever had, and I still love it. I liked the other song too.

Cream - I Feel Free vs. Chris De Burgh - Don't Pay the Ferryman

Never heard that second song before and I really liked it. Tough draw.

Damian Marley - Make It Bun Dem vs. Cream - Tales Of Brave Ulysses

Same as the last match; I liked the one song way more than I expected, but Cream is, like, awesome.

MF DOOM - That's That vs. Eminem - 8 Mile

I just don't like either one.

ROUND 1 - Day 13

Suzi Quatro - Devil Gate Drive vs. BarlowGirl - Never alone
I liked the BarlowGirl song, but Suzi is great

Deadmau5 - Strobe vs. Quiet Riot - Metal Health
not mad about either, but the first one just edged in

Gary Jules - Mad World vs. Styx - Renegade
Amazing version of Mad World this one. Gives me goosepimples whenever I hear it

David Essex - Rock On vs. The Boxtops - The Letter - I was madly in love with David Essex back then :D, and so random generator you've made me vote against my own song

Them - Here Comes the Night vs. Bastille - Pompeii

Cream - I Feel Free vs. Chris De Burgh - Don't Pay the Ferryman
Not keen on CDB, but I Feel Free is great anyway

Damian Marley - Make It Bun Dem vs. Cream - Tales Of Brave Ulysses - Like Damian Marley, and the video too
.
MF DOOM - That's That vs. Eminem - 8 Mile

Suzi Quatro - Devil Gate Drive vs. BarlowGirl - Never alone (both decent)
Deadmau5 - Strobe vs. Quiet Riot - Metal Health (by far)
Gary Jules - Mad World vs. Styx - Renegade (I nominated it for the past tournament and it lost :( Mad World always been one of my favorite song of all time)
David Essex - Rock On vs. The Boxtops - The Letter (nice song)
Them - Here Comes the Night vs. Bastille - Pompeii (it's ok tho)
Cream - I Feel Free vs. Chris De Burgh - Don't Pay the Ferryman (I like Cream)
Damian Marley - Make It Bun Dem vs. Cream - Tales Of Brave Ulysses (I like Cream)
MF DOOM - That's That vs. Eminem - 8 Mile (Eminem is my favorite Rapper alive and this track is good so he got my vote)

4. The Boxtops - The Letter (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HIWY8UyW9bw)

Can't believe that piece of crap David Essex song is beating this.

Oh, I see Captain Spaulding nominated the David Essex thing. I DON'T CARE. IT STILL SUCKS.

5. Bastille - Pompeii (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F90Cw4l-8NY)

Both suck.

6. Cream - I Feel Free (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb_Uu0eTNWk)

Cream is such a lackluster '60s band, though.

7. Cream - Tales Of Brave Ulysses (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S0vHqWGt4NE)

I didn't want to vote for this, but I guess I will.

Thanks so much Chypmunk. :up:

Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag vs. Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch

- Not a fan of either, but the Bloodhound Gang song was so terrible, the other one wins by default

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John vs. Digable Planets - Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)

- Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is a huge favorite of mine.

ROUND 1 - Day 13

Suzi Quatro - Devil Gate Drive vs. BarlowGirl - Never alone (I didn't like "Devil Gate Drive" when she sang it on "Happy Days" either. :shrug:)

Deadmau5 - Strobe vs. Quiet Riot - Metal Health (No contest.)

Gary Jules - Mad World vs. Styx - Renegade (I probably would have voted for "Mad World" if it wasn't up against my own nomination.)

David Essex - Rock On vs. The Boxtops - The Letter (I actually prefer the second song, but I don't like the lead singer's voice, so I voted for the first song.)

Them - Here Comes the Night vs. Bastille - Pompeii

Cream - I Feel Free vs. Chris De Burgh - Don't Pay the Ferryman

Damian Marley - Make It Bun Dem vs. Cream - Tales Of Brave Ulysses

MF DOOM - That's That vs. Eminem - 8 Mile (Both songs sound the same to me, and I didn't like either of them, so I voted for the shorter song.)

I don't like either, but this was less screechy.

Quiet Riot - Metal Health (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x32zm_quiet-riot-metal-health_music)
Not a metal fan at all, but I don't mind QR.

Styx - Renegade (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VTY2-umI9kE)
Not in the mood for soft music right now.

The Boxtops - The Letter (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HIWY8UyW9bw)
I like both, but I'm feeling this one a little more right now.

Them - Here Comes the Night (https://archive.org/details/ThemLPRIPHereComesTheNight)
This was interesting. Don't think I've heard it before.

Cream - I Feel Free (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb_Uu0eTNWk)
My nomination. I'm not going to vote against it.

Cream - Tales Of Brave Ulysses (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S0vHqWGt4NE)
Surprisingly tough call, but I gotta go with the classic.

Eminem - 8 Mile (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HwE4gs_DwgY)
Not one of his best, but marginally better than its opponent.

04-21-15, 07:52 AM

Rise Against - Prayer of the Refugee vs. America - A Horse With No Name (This is quite close, but as America has been nominated so many times I'm going to go with Rise Against.)

ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man vs. Living Color - Cult of Personality (I'm murdering my darlings here. Coin toss gave it to Sharp Dressed Man.)

Everlong - Foo Fighters vs. Radiohead - Idioteque (Radiohead? Like that had a chance. Naturally the Foo Fighters song sounds like a Foo Fighters song, but that's not a bad thing and certainly not in this matchup)

Placebo - Running up that hill vs. Biddu Orchestra - The Stud (I like Placebo and I like this more than the original, but it's tough to beat 70's disco orchestra.)

Alt-J - Bloodflood vs. Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer (Not my thing and easily beaten by a Bon Jovi song? I know, but let's be honest, Livin' On A Prayer is an anthem, not a song.)

Zounds - Dancing vs. Tupac - Changes (Two songs that aren't really my thing. This is why sampling became so dominant.)

Depeche Mode - Enjoy the silence vs. Dick Dale - Spanish Kiss (I'm not bothered about either. I wasn't a Depeche Mode fan.)

Them - Baby Please Don't Go vs. Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon (I really like both songs and as I voted against them last time, I'll give the nod to Fleetwood Mac this time around.)

ROUND 1 - Day 14

Rise Against - Prayer of the Refugee vs. America - A Horse With No Name

Horse With No Name has been nominated so many times that I'll be looking for a reason to vote against it. I liked the first song, but not quite enough.

ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man vs. Living Color - Cult of Personality

2 great songs that I don't love as much as I did when they first came out. I'm a big ZZ Top fan so they get the edge.

Everlong - Foo Fighters vs. Radiohead - Idioteque

I usually have to hear a song a few times before I really get into it. That gives a familiar song an unfair edge in these tournaments. The Radiohead song started to grow on me a little, but I already like the other one. One thing I didn't like about the Radiohead song though is that it sounded like it was made by a machine. I like a band playing traditional instruments with a good lead singer.

Placebo - Running up that hill vs. Biddu Orchestra - The Stud

I liked both of these but have a strong preference for one type of music.

Alt-J - Bloodflood vs. Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer

Another match that I was hoping to find a reason to go the other way. Bloodflood was a good listen, but when would I ever want to hear it again?

Zounds - Dancing vs. Tupac - Changes

Surprisingly, I kind of liked both of these.

Depeche Mode - Enjoy the silence vs. Dick Dale - Spanish Kiss

I've always liked the first song and I also enjoyed the second.

Them - Baby Please Don't Go vs. Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon

I hate going against Them but Rhiannon is my favorite Mac song.

ROUND 1 - Day 14

America - A Horse With No Name (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zSAJ0l4OBHM)
Really don't like the vocals on the other one.

ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7wRHBLwpASw)
Tough choice. Shame they can't both move on.

Everlong - Foo Fighters (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eBG7P-K-r1Y)
Not overly fond of the Foos, but I really dislike Thom Yorke's voice.

Placebo - Running up that hill (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4KEEXyRL0qE)
This one's more interesting.

Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lDK9QqIzhwk)
This song's making me feel all nostalgic.

Zounds - Dancing (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_q9xfSD7WM)
I don't care for this, but that piano intro from the other one got me all happy because I love "That's the Way It Is." (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cOeKidp-iWo) But then my happiness was ruined by being reminded that this was, in fact, not Bruce Hornsby.

Depeche Mode - Enjoy the silence (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aGSKrC7dGcY)
I like the Dick Dale song, it's a shame I have to vote against it. "Enjoy the Silence" is an all time favorite. I've nominated it myself before.

Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U_aYibUx1B8)
I like the other song, but besides being my nomination, this was probably the first Fleetwood Mac song I fell in love with. Too bad Nicks doesn't sound even remotely as good as this anymore.

Them - Baby Please Don't Go vs. Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon

Looks like a good round. A few really stand out. :cool:

Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Comin' vs. Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go (Two songs I could happily listen to at just about any time. That said, this is the one I can (and have) listen to over and over again.)

Avenged Sevenfold - Save Me vs. Adamski & Seal - Killer (I like the other one, but not enough for 10 minutes against a familiar song which I've liked since release. Avenged Sevenfold have been nominated a few times (Derek I'm guessing?) and I've usually liked them.)

Ennio Morricone - L'uomo dell'armonica vs. The Beatles - The Fool on the Hill (I'm not much of a Beatles fan but this is an easy pick for me. Bloody harmonicas.)

John Hartford - Vamp In The Middle vs. The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday (Not bothered by either so I'm voting against a version I don't care for.)

Huey Lewis - The Power of Love vs. Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime (Love both of these. Had to toss a coin.)

Michael Jackson - Beat it vs. Always look on the bright side of life - Monty Python (Nice and easy for me. Love Beat It, hate MP and that song. One of the worst things about being a football fan is hearing that song when you're caning someone.)

Empire of the Sun - We Are the People vs. Dwayne ''The Rock'' Johnson - mocking John Cena (Jailhouse Rock) (I had to go for the proper song.)

Cilla - Anyone Who Had A Heart vs. Birdy - Skinny Love (Tricky, I like both, but I've never liked Cilla, so I'll go with the other one.)

ROUND 1 - Day 15

Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pIgZ7gMze7A)
Interesting match-up. I like both, but cheesy pop is more my style.

Adamski & Seal - Killer (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7XBcT41ImSI)
Meh. Neither one is great.

The Beatles - The Fool on the Hill (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UNfS9Ywb2Cc)
I'm not a Beatles fan, but that screeching harmonica on the other one is really grating.

The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a00_tPLcE_g)
The other song's okay and I do appreciate the banjo but this is really no contest.

Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wvUQcnfwUUM)
Why do these have to be together? I love Huey Lewis, but gotta stick to my nom here.

Michael Jackson - Beat it (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oRdxUFDoQe0)
Never been a python fan.

Empire of the Sun - We Are the People (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hN5X4kGhAtU)
Maybe if I actually gave a crap about the WWE I'd appreciate that other thing, but I don't. This wins by default.

Birdy - Skinny Love (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aNzCDt2eidg)
Birdy's voice is less irritating.

Maybe I'm used to irritating voices . I much prefer Melanie's version of Ruby Tuesday then the Stones version.

Agree about , Bon Iver much better version

Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Comin' vs. Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go nice!

Avenged Sevenfold - Save Me vs.Adamski & Seal - Killer - the other song was good but I think mine is better

Ennio Morricone - L'uomo dell'armonica vs. The Beatles - The Fool on the Hill - I've never liked Fool on the Hill

John Hartford - Vamp In The Middle vs. The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday - I like that John Hartford song, I don't think I've ever heard of him before

Huey Lewis - The Power of Love vs. Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime - both good, but sitting in the sunshine at the mo so Mungo Jerry is making me smile :)

Michael Jackson - Beat it vs. Always look on the bright side of life - Monty Python - not a massive fan of silly songs, but Beat it is a classic too

Empire of the Sun - We Are the People vs. Dwayne ''The Rock'' Johnson - mocking John Cena (Jailhouse Rock) Love The Rock, but his singing..

Cilla - Anyone Who Had A Heart vs. Birdy - Skinny Love - I expect I'll be the only person to vote for Cilla. I'm not dead mad on her myself but I chose it as the old man's listening to this tournement with me and it reminds us of a funny story from way back, so only nominated it to make him laugh :D

ROUND 1 - Day 15

Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Comin' vs. Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

As much as I love the 80's, that Wham song is just ok for me-no chance against one of the greatest rock songs in the history of the universe.

Avenged Sevenfold - Save Me vs. Adamski & Seal - Killer

I thought these were both good-one is more my style.

Ennio Morricone - L'uomo dell'armonica vs. The Beatles - The Fool on the Hill

Far from my favorite Beatle's songs but it's still got that sound.

John Hartford - Vamp In The Middle vs. The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday

That first one is catchy and Ruby Tuesday is only about my 25th favorite song from The Stones. That's ok because I love about 50 Stone's songs.

Huey Lewis - The Power of Love vs. Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime

Love both; I'll go with Mungo this time, although it's been nominated a few times already.

Michael Jackson - Beat it vs. Always look on the bright side of life - Monty Python

Maybe not the right choice, but I don't love Beat it, and I got a kick out of the other.

Empire of the Sun - We Are the People vs. Dwayne ''The Rock'' Johnson - mocking John Cena (Jailhouse Rock)

I don't follow wrestling but I like The Rock. The other one was decent too.

Cilla - Anyone Who Had A Heart vs. Birdy - Skinny Love

Cilla was awesome, liked the other girl too.

ROUND 1 - Day 15

Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Comin' vs. Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

Avenged Sevenfold - Save Me vs. Adamski & Seal - Killer (The first song started out pretty good. The music was okay. But then the lyrics started, and it completely lost me.)

Ennio Morricone - L'uomo dell'armonica vs. The Beatles - The Fool on the Hill (I've never heard that Beatles song before. I liked it.)

John Hartford - Vamp In The Middle vs. The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday (I only know a few Rolling Stones songs, and "Ruby Tuesday" is probably the only RS song that I like, but I still prefer the other song.)

Huey Lewis - The Power of Love vs. Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime

Michael Jackson - Beat it vs. Always look on the bright side of life - Monty Python

Empire of the Sun - We Are the People vs. Dwayne ''The Rock'' Johnson - mocking John Cena (Jailhouse Rock)

ROUND 1 - final day - Day 16

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms vs. Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me

Yea yea what can I say.

Creedance Clearwater Revival - Who'll Stop the Rain vs. Bob Seger-Fire Lake

These are two of my very favorite artists. I don't expect Fire Lake to do well, but it's a song I've always related to, and probably my favorite song in the tournament.

Guns N' Roses - Estranged vs. Quadron - Hey Love

Estranged is another favorite that I don't expect to do well. I consider it a masterpiece, and it's a song that has gotten me emotional recently remembering my old friends. I liked the other one too.

Skillet - Hero vs. Whitesnake - Here I Go Again

I quite liked Hero, but Here I Go Again is one of my favorite 80's rockers.

I'm a Scatman - Scatman John vs. Deer Tick - Clownin Around

I honestly couldn't get through the first one without thinking of somebody pooping on somebody else. Deer Tick was different, interesting, and good.

The Clash - The Guns of Brixton vs. Accept - Balls to the Wall

I like The Clash song but I've never understood the enormous respect that band gets. I never heard the other before and I loved it.

OMD - Electricity vs. Mr. Big - To be with you

Both decent songs; Mr. Big gets the edge based on familiarity.

Bananarama - Venus vs. The Clash - Rock the Casbah

I can remember playing The Clash song on a bar jukebox when it came out when I was about 11. Great song, but it's now a bit played out for me.*

ROUND 1 - final day - Day 16

Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2nXGPZaTKik)
Not a Dire Straits fan.

Bob Seger-Fire Lake (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xb2kqp_bob-seger - fire-lake_music)
Why? WHY? Why do these have to go against each other in round 1? I didn't nominate either, but no matter which one wins I'm going to be sad to see the other go. As an aside, Fogerty and Seger dueted on Who'll Stop the Rain (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gMU5s-PDBac) for Fogerty's Wrote A Song For Everyone. I really love that version too. Anyway, giving my vote to Seger because I like him more as an artist.

Guns N' Roses - Estranged (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dpmAY059TTY)
Not my favorite GNR, but still pretty good.

Whitesnake - Here I Go Again (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i3MXiTeH_Pg)
I've loved this song for years. The other one's instantly forgetable.

I'm a Scatman - Scatman John (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FE0XcdM22Yo)
Not crazy about either, this one's marginally better.

The Clash - The Guns of Brixton (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wqcizZebcaU)
Not crazy about either. This one's more interesting.

Mr. Big - To be with you (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5QD5n98R_nk)
Love this song. Have nominated it myself before.

The Clash - Rock the Casbah (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ9r8LMU9bQ)

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms vs. Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me (OK, so it's overplayed and I always dread hearing it, but it's a good song and I've never gotten Dire Straits beyond a few songs.)

Creedance Clearwater Revival - Who'll Stop the Rain vs. Bob Seger-Fire Lake (Two easily forgettable tracks. In fact, the second one only finished less than a minute ago and I'm already not sure how it went. Sorry.)

Guns N' Roses - Estranged vs. Quadron - Hey Love (I could've done this one without listening to either. I didn't though and Hey Love is OK. Not anything I'd want to listen to but if I was in the car at it was on the radio I wouldn't definitely turn it off.)

Skillet - Hero vs. Whitesnake - Here I Go Again (Uninspiring modern metal against a stone cold classic? Nice and easy does it every time.)

I'm a Scatman - Scatman John vs. Deer Tick - Clownin Around (I've always liked this song.)

The Clash - The Guns of Brixton vs. Accept - Balls to the Wall (I don't mind Guns Of Brixton, helped greatly by that wonderful bassline, but this is proper 80's rock and I'm all over that.)

OMD - Electricity vs. Mr. Big - To be with you (OK electro pop versus annoying MOR ballad? Yep, you guessed it.)

Bananarama - Venus vs. The Clash - Rock the Casbah (While I'm not a Clash fan, Rock The Casbah is one of their (much) better songs. Still, no chance with me against a great pop classic)

Day 15 is still open for voting from The Sci-Fi Slob, Gatsby and Pussy Galore for another 12 hours, three of the matches have clear winners but the following could still go either way:
Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Comin' (http://tinyurl.com/jwfze9b) vs. Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pIgZ7gMze7A)
Ennio Morricone - L'uomo dell'armonica (m.youtube.com/watch?v=42NMzFOD8eA) vs. The Beatles - The Fool on the Hill (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UNfS9Ywb2Cc)

Closing Day 14 (sorry - should've done it last night but one of our cats got injured).

I won't be around much today after adding a trip to the vets to things I have to do, feel free to give those yet to vote a quick reminder if you see them logged in.

I'm sorry to hear that your cat got hurt. I hope he (or she) is okay.

Don't worry about this tournament. It will wait until you're ready. Your cat is more important.

ROUND 1 - final day - Day 16

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms vs. Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me
(The link to "Brothers in Arms" wasn't working, so I found a different one that was almost seven minutes long. I listened to all seven minutes, yet I still feel like I'm waiting for the song to begin. I only know two Culture Club songs--- this and "Karma Chameleon". I prefer the latter, but "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" is decent, especially if I avert my eyes from Boy George when I listen to it.)

Creedance Clearwater Revival - Who'll Stop the Rain vs. Bob Seger-Fire Lake
(I never realized the awesomeness of CCR until a couple of months ago when I picked up Chronicle. The CD has been a mainstay in my car stereo ever since. I pretty much just picked a song at random from the CD to nominate for this tournament, since I figured any of their songs would probably do well. Surprisingly, however, I'm going against my own nomination here. I don't love Bob Seger. Maybe it's because my mom was always a big fan, so he automatically seemed uncool. Maybe it's because I can't separate Seger from mental images of Tom Cruise in his whitie tighties. But regardless, I really dug "Fire Lake.")

Guns N' Roses - Estranged vs. Quadron - Hey Love
(There's no song in existence that means more to me personally than "Estranged." There were times in my life, especially during my teenage years, when I used this song as a crutch, listening to it every morning as a source of strength and reassurance before going out and facing the world. It's a depressing song, heavy on self-pity and mournful longing for things that are lost, but there's also a defiant spirit in the lyrics and the musical crescendo that I find very empowering. My ability to relate to the emotional core of the song so strongly and apply it to my own metaphorical storms is part of the reason why Guns N' Roses is my favorite band. "When no one I know can seem to help me now," as the lyrics say, I found it incredibly reassuring and comforting to be able to put on this song and hear that someone else had been in my exact mindset. "Estranged" is Axl Rose's masterpiece. It's also my favorite song of all-time.)

Skillet - Hero vs. Whitesnake - Here I Go Again
("Here I Go Again" is one of my all-time favorite power ballads. I'll never grow tired of it listening to it, no matter how many hundreds of times I hear it. I'll also never grow tired of watching Tawny Kitaen straddle the hood of that car.)

I'm a Scatman - Scatman John vs. Deer Tick - Clownin Around
(I really like Deer Tick's mixture of rock, country and folk. Their lead singer has a distinctive, weathered voice (although it's not on display in this song) and they often sound like they're hung over after a long night of drinking and partying. "Clownin Around" stands out to me primarily for the John Wayne Gacy-inspired lyrics. I like songs that tell a narrative. Lyrics about house guests resting in the crawl space would be darkly humorous if that ***** hadn't actually happened, but the true life inspiration behind the lyrics gives the song an unnerving quality. The music itself it so mournful, though, that it actually garners sympathy for Gacy. That's impressive for a song so short. I usually stop listening before the circus-from-hell coda freaks me out.)

The Clash - The Guns of Brixton vs. Accept - Balls to the Wall
(If Bon Scott from AC/DC fronted Judas Priest, you'd get Accept.)

OMD - Electricity vs. Mr. Big - To be with you
(I've never been a big fan "To Be With You," but it's much more my style than "Electricity.")

Bananarama - Venus vs. The Clash - Rock the Casbah
(I find The Clash enormously overrated, but "Rock the Casbah" is a very good song. "Venus" makes me think of female hygienic products.)

Terry Reid - To Be Treated Rite vs. The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday (Two I didn't vote for last time, but it's nice to vote for To Be Treated Rite this time around.)

Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now vs. Creedance Clearwater Revival - Who'll Stop the Rain (It was a shame to vote against it last time and, while I like both, it's an easy choice)

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John vs. Foxy - Get Off (As I'm not one for Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, this one is more difficult that I'd expect. I also quite like the Get Off track. Gotta love disco. However, some of those sounds just hit me a little hard today, so I'm going with Elton.)

Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the Middle With You vs. Placebo - Running up that hill ( Like both, but as with the last time, I've heard the Stealers Wheel track so many times in these tournaments.)

The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin vs. Wu Tang Clan - Cream (Last time out this was a tough choice with Nights In White Satin. This time it wasn't.)

Cream - Tales Of Brave Ulysses vs. Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused (Obviously great songs but this is still easy for me.)

The Youngbloods - Get Together vs. A-ha - The Sun Always Shines On TV (One of the few songs I have left and, while I like the chorus of Get Together, I don't really know or care about the rest of the song. I've always liked The Sun Always Shines On TV. Even after my sister played it a million times.)

The Animals - It's My Life vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge (I think my dislike of RHCP and their songs of this ilk and this one in particular has been mentioned before. ;))

Round 2 - Day 1

Terry Reid - To Be Treated Rite vs. The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday

It takes something big for me to go against The Stones.

Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now vs. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Who'll Stop the Rain

Love both.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John vs. Foxy - Get Off

Foxy just way too talented.

Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the Middle With You vs. Placebo - Running up that hill

Would love to go for the underdog but just can't.

The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin vs. Wu Tang Clan - Cream

Same as last match-the classic is just too good.

Cream - Tales Of Brave Ulysses vs. Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused

Toughest match for me.

The Youngbloods - Get Together vs. A-ha - The Sun Always Shines On TV

I really love Get Together.

The Animals - It's My Life vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge

Good match.

Round 2 - Day 1

Terry Reid - To Be Treated Rite vs. The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday
(I've been very pleased with how favorably "To Be Treated Rite" has been received. I mean, even gbgoodies liked it! I love The Rolling Stones and consider them my second favorite band, but there are dozens and dozens of Stones songs I like more than "Ruby Tuesday.")

Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now vs. Creedance Clearwater Revival - Who'll Stop the Rain
(I find it hilarious that a song with the lyrics "I can see clearly now the rain is gone" is matched up against a song called "Who'll Stop the Rain.")

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John vs. Foxy - Get Off
(Whoever nominated "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" didn't do it any favors by providing a link to a live version instead of a studio version. Regardless, it's one of my favorite Elton John songs. "Get Off," although memorable, can quickly get annoying.)

Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the Middle With You vs. Placebo - Running up that hill
(Some songs never grow old, but "Stuck in the Middle With You" isn't one of those songs. I'm sick of hearing it. If I voted for the Placebo song in the first round, it was probably less to do with the song than its competition. Listening to it now, though, I paid a lot more attention to the lyrics. It's a good song.)

The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin vs. Wu Tang Clan - Cream
(Even though I'm not a fan of rap, there were a lot of great rap songs nominated in this tournament. "Cream" is one of them. I wanted to vote for it just because "Nights in White Satin" has been nominated so many times before, but after listening to both songs again, I can't in good conscience vote against a superior classic.)

Cream - Tales Of Brave Ulysses vs. Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused
("Tales of Brave Ulysses" is a very good Cream song that I wasn't overly familiar with before this tournament. I'd love to vote for it, but "Dazed and Confused" is too awesome. One of my favorite songs to listen to in surround sound.)

The Youngbloods - Get Together vs. A-ha - The Sun Always Shines On TV
(I don't love "Get Together," but I do love the chorus. I don't love anything about "The Sun Always Shines on TV.")

The Animals - It's My Life vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge
(I like "Under the Bridge," but this is no contest. As Derek would say, The Animals "by a mountain far!")

Terry Reid - To Be Treated Rite vs. The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday (Hubby wanted the RS song, and it's the only RS song that I like, but I still have to pick the Terry Reid song.)

Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now vs. Creedance Clearwater Revival - Who'll Stop the Rain (Very tough choice. Both songs are great songs, but the Johnny Nash song is more relaxing.)

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John vs. Foxy - Get Off (I don't care for live versions, but other than that, this was an easy choice.)

Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the Middle With You vs. Placebo - Running up that hill (Easy choice.)

The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin vs. Wu Tang Clan - Cream (Easy choice.)

Cream - Tales Of Brave Ulysses vs. Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused (I didn't care for either song, so I let hubby choose this match.)

The Youngbloods - Get Together vs. A-ha - The Sun Always Shines On TV (Tough choice. I liked both songs.)

The Animals - It's My Life vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge (Both songs are okay, but The Animals song has a slight edge.)

Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World vs. Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover

Nina Simone - Feeling Good vs. Bullet For My Valentine - Your Betrayal
(Class vs. Trash.)

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper vs. Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy
http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5nakhSnIT1qcwic6.gif

Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me vs. Cream - I Feel Free
("Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" is a decent song, but it's outmatched by a large margin here.)

Adamski & Seal - Killer vs. Huey Lewis - The Power of Love
(I don't like either of these songs. If "The Power of Love" wasn't associated with Back to the Future, I doubt as many people would like it. Too cheesy. "Killer" gets my vote for being more interesting.)

Taco - Puttin' on the Ritz vs. Joe Jackson - Mad At You
(Another match-up where I'm not a fan of either song. "Puttin' on the Ritz" is enjoyable for a minute or two, then it becomes annoying. "Mad At You" is annoying pretty much from the beginning, plus it's six and a half minutes long, making it almost insufferable.)

Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman vs. Led Zeppelin - Hey Hey What Can I Do
(As I said earlier in the tournament, I love Roy Orbison. He's one of the greatest vocalists of all-time. But it disappoints me that "Oh, Pretty Woman" is his most well-known song when I think it's subpar by his standards. I love everything Led Zeppelin ever did, but I'm especially fond of their songs with heavy folk influences, like "Hey Hey What Can I Do.")

Bobbysocks - La Det Swinge vs. ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man - really like that ZZTop song , not heard it for years either
Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World vs. Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover - this was hard but Pops clinched it on nostalgia for me
Nina Simone - Feeling Good vs. Bullet For My Valentine - Your Betrayal - love the drums and guitar on the other one, but Nina Simone drips class
Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper vs. Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy - BB is mine. BOC's is a classic song, but there's something vulnerable about Jimmy Sommerville that hits me emotionally.
Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me vs. Cream - I Feel Free - CC's is a grwat pop song but Cream's is way above that
Adamski & Seal - Killer vs. Huey Lewis - The Power of Love - not only voting for my choice, I've never really liked the Power of Love
Taco - Puttin' on the Ritz vs. Joe Jackson - Mad At You - don't like the Taco song
Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman vs. Led Zeppelin - Hey Hey What Can I Do - close, but love Roy and that song

Bobbysocks - La Det Swinge vs. ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man (When I said how much I loved Sharp Dressed Man in the last round, I wasn't kidding. Gotta vote against my own song here.)

Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World vs. Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover (Still don't care for 50 Ways and Wonderful World really is just that good.)

Nina Simone - Feeling Good vs. Bullet For My Valentine - Your Betrayal (Nice and easy.)

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper vs. Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy (I really like both and I think I've nominated both before, but it's the former for me.)

Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me vs. Cream - I Feel Free (I prefer the previous Cream track, but this is an easy choice. Why doesn't anyone pick any of the other Culture Club tracks? Church Of The Poisoned Mind? It's A Miracle? There's only a few others that I like, but they had other songs y'know. :D)

Adamski & Seal - Killer vs. Huey Lewis - The Power of Love (I really love both of these but I think I like Killer just a little more.)

Taco - Puttin' on the Ritz vs. Joe Jackson - Mad At You (At one point I thought I might go with Joe, but about halfway through I was more than done with it. I like Puttin' On The Ritz more, no matter what Taco have done to mess it about.)

Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman vs. Led Zeppelin - Hey Hey What Can I Do (I'm not Zeppelin's biggest fan, but I like a lot of their songs and most are more than listenable. This is one of the latter for me and that's more than enough for one of the most overplayed songs I can think of.)

Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon vs. Metallica - Nothing Else Matter (I like Rhiannon, but I really like Nothing Else Matters.)

Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky vs. Pennywise - Let us Hear Your Voice (Much more my thing. The Floyd just becomes background noise. Which is better than actually listening to it, I have to say. :p:D)

Guns N' Roses - Estranged vs. Ramones - I Don't Want to Grow up (This is easy for a GNR fan)

Birdy - Skinny Love vs. Foo Fighters - The Pretender (It's Foo Fighters. It sounds like pretty much every other Foo Fighters song. And I like that more than the other one.)

GZA - Liquid Swords vs. Michael Jackson - Beat it (Jacko on top of his game.)

AIR - Run vs. Like a Prayer - Madonna (Madonna at the top of her game and my favourite song of hers.)

MGMT - Kids vs. Nirvana - Come As You Are (I think I had to vote for the other one last time, so it's nice to vote for something I actually like.)

Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Comin' vs. Deer Tick - Clownin Around (Surely You've Got Another Thing Comin' can't lose this tie, can it?)

R.E.M. - Losing my Religion vs. Matoma & The Notorious B.I.G. - Old Thing Back (Another easy one.)

Dire Straits - Walk of Life vs. The Causalities - Soldado (I like both of these. Maybe the familiarity of Walk Of Life means I'm going with it, but it feels as if on another day it'd be Soldado. Still no idea why they're singing about a Spurs reject, though.)

Marilyn Manson - The Dope Show vs. Bananarama - Love In The First Degree (This is easy for me. I love this song and I don't care for The Dope Show)

Kavinsky - Nightcall vs. Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy (I must be in a better mood because I liked both of these more than I did the last round.)

Pilot - Magic vs. Gary Jules - Mad World (I love this song, but I'll have no problem when the other one wins.:D)

Empire of the Sun - We Are the People vs. Luis Bacalov - His Name was King (almost by default really. I like it a lot more than the other though.)

The Troggs - I Want You vs. Heart - Crazy on You (I'm not bother about either, but I do prefer Crazy On You.)

I Wanna be your Dog - The Stooges vs. Bob Marley - Redemption Song

Bob Welch - Ebony Eyes vs. Mr. Lonely - Bobby Vinton
(Difficult choice, since I love both songs.)

(Another difficult choice.)

The Beatles - The Fool on the Hill vs. Bryan Adams - Run To You
(This feels like blasphemy, but "The Fool on the Hill" just doesn't do much for me.)

Deep Purple - Child in Time vs. Airbourne - Live It Up
(I feel like I always make fun of Derek's nominations, but "Live It Up" is a kickass track. Too bad it's matched up against one of my favorite songs in the tournament.)

3. Bob Welch - Ebony Eyes (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FnJOsfalSYs)

I think this was a song I noted a very long time ago to try to get the name/name of the singer of, because I didn't know it and I kinda liked it, and then I forgot all about it and never figured it out until just now.

Status Quo - Gerdundula (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OjlJwSoomDo)
I really, really hate Oasis. Really.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aowSGxim_O8)
This doesn't need an explanation.

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi_XLOBDo_Y)
Unfortunate Matchup since I like both, but I have to stick to my own nom.

Scott McKenzie - San Francisco (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7I0vkKy504U)
Same as above. Love both songs but this one's mine.

Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lDK9QqIzhwk)
Not crazy about either artist, but "Livin' On A Prayer" is one of the better Bon Jovi songs and "Waterloo" is not one of the better ABBA songs.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Still Unbroken (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMfzZxIt9bA)
Not really a contest here.

Tito & Tarantula - After Dark (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cG0qv9s0VNo)
I like the sound of this one a lot.

The Who - Pinball Wizard (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4AKbUm8GrbM)
I've never been much of a fan of The Who (except for Behind Blue Eyes, which i love), but I really dislike that Tupac thing.

I grew up listening to Oasis, so this is an easy choice. The Status Quo song is good but the style of rock it has isn't my jam.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance vs. Kim Wilde - You keep me hangin' on
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean vs. The Clash - Rock the Casbah
Like MV, I love both songs. But I had to go with the King of Pop.
Mr. Big - To be with you vs. Scott McKenzie - San Francisco
Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer vs. ABBA - Waterloo
Almost any ABBA song gets my vote.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Still Unbroken vs. Fever Ray - If I Had A Heart
Lynyrd Skynyrd ftw
Tito & Tarantula - After Dark vs. Fever Ray - When I Grow Up
Tupac - Changes vs. The Who - Pinball Wizard
Love both songs. I went with Tupac because it's probably one of my favorites from him and I really like the lyrics, message, and beat. Pinball Wizard is comfy bread n butter but it doesn't hold up very well on repeat listenings for me.

Linkin Park - Hit the Floor vs. Joan Jett - I hate myself for loving you
I hate Joan Jett's "Oh I'm so sexy" voice and attitude.
Led Zeppelin - Black Dog vs. Pink Floyd - Free Four
Two awesome songs, but Black Dog is my favorite Led Zeppelin
The Beach Boys - God Only Knows vs. I'm a Believer - Monkees
I don't like The Beach Boys as much as others.
Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky vs. Blu Cantrell - Hit 'Em up Style

Round 2 - Day 8

Nine Inch Nails - 1 Ghosts 1 vs. Led Zeppelin - All My Love

I haven't been excited over that Zeppelin song in a long time-still good enough to get my vote here.

Nilsson - Without You vs. Whitesnake - Here I Go Again

I love both, really depends on my mood.

Fleetwood Mac - Never Going Back Again vs. David Essex - Rock On

I like that Mac song but Rock On is so cool and underplayed.

Iggy Pop - The Passenger vs. Patti Smith - Dancing Barefoot

Pretty easy choice for me, although I don't quite love The Passenger.

Brotherhood Of Man - Save All Your Kisses For Me vs. Scissor Sisters - I Can't Decide

I Can't Decide is probably my favorite from the tournament that I hadn't heard before.

Ultravox - Vienna vs. Slipknot - The Devil In I

Not easy-I think they're both good!

Suzi Quatro - Devil Gate Drive vs. Quiet Riot - Metal Health

Bang Your Head!!!

Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle vs. Them - Here Comes the Night

So tough and could be different in a year. Jungle has always been a huge favorite but I've never been without it. The other is an old favorite that I was just excited to rediscover after not hearing for many years.

Nine Inch Nails - 1 Ghosts 1 vs. Led Zeppelin - All My Love
Unlike a lot of Led Zeppelin songs "All My Love" is quite peaceful- which is reason to love it even if i prefer the majority
Nilsson - Without You vs. Whitesnake - Here I Go Again
I'm in a "Without You" mood today, sadly.
Fleetwood Mac - Never Going Back Again vs. David Essex - Rock On
"Rock On" is way better than the overrated other song.
Iggy Pop - The Passenger vs. Patti Smith - Dancing Barefoot
Easy choice.
Brotherhood Of Man - Save All Your Kisses For Me vs. Scissor Sisters - I Can't Decide
Both great songs but "I Can't Decide" has the slight upper-hand.
Ultravox - Vienna vs. Slipknot - The Devil In I
Suzi Quatro - Devil Gate Drive vs. Quiet Riot - Metal Health

Round 3 - Day 1

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John vs. Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky

Two great songs, but I simply like one more.

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper vs. David Essex - Rock On

I'm not totally against going against my own nom, and at least had to think *about it here.

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean vs. Queen - Don't Stop Me Now*

Two of the most talented artists I've ever heard, but neither one has a lot of songs I love.

Led Zeppelin - Black Dog vs. Metallica - Nothing Else Matter

Pretty much a toss up; I think I've just heard Black Dog too many times.

Taco - Puttin' on the Ritz vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Still Unbroken

If this was early Skynyrd, it'd be no contest. This was close for me.

Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag vs. Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy

Two good tunes that have done well in this tournament.

Human League - Keep Feeling (Fascination) vs. Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle

As much as I love Jungle, I'm not a fan of repeat nominations, and if I'm being honest, I've heard it so much that I think I'm enjoying the other more right now. I just can't quite go against it now with a clean conscience.

Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Comin' vs. Guns N' Roses - Estranged

We all hate seeing our own nominations going against one another, but at this point, I don't feel like it's such a bad thing. I really love both of these songs; it's a toss up for me. I'm going with the song that I know a couple other members love as much as I do.
