Song Tournament #9
http://journalweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/music-300x215.jpg
I'm opening this thread now because voting for the type of song tournament looks pretty definite and it gives people a while to join and also have time to think about their choices.
This tournament will have the exact same rules as previous general song tournaments - no song, artist(e), decade or musical genre is disallowed (nominating previous winners is however very much frowned upon).
Please indicate over the next couple of days if you wish to participate and once the final number of participants is known the exact number of selections required will be determined (it should be at least eight each so feel free to start nominating straight away). I hope this tournament will be able to start either Friday or Saturday.
For selections please do not post videos but URL links (if you are unaware how to do this please just ask). All selections must have links provided to them to enable voting, Youtube is the most popular source but as long as a link is accessible in the various countries of those taking part any free and legal source is acceptable. Please post your links with the textual nominated artist and song such as: Clive Dunn - Grandad (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zFbrA_P2uu0).
When voting you must listen to both songs. Voting on each round is intended to be open for 24 hours but may be closed earlier if all nominating participants have voted or extended if voting is close and not all nominating participants have yet voted. Voting is not restricted purely to those that have nominated songs but for those that have not they must vote from the beginning of the tournament to continue voting beyond the first round. Unless a tie-breaking vote is requested, anyone who hasn't voted consistently will not be allowed to vote in the final rounds.
This is my first tournament, so I may be unintentionally leaving something out - if you have any questions, please ask.
Most of all - please have fun!

Fabulous, you have to change your videos to links by changing the "www" to "m" in the link.
You can attach them to the artist and song names by typing the names, highlighting the names, and then use the icon that looks like a globe with a paperclip in front of it to attach the link to the names.

It's not against the rules in this tournament. It's only "very much frowned upon".
This tournament will have the exact same rules as previous general song tournaments - no song, artist(e), decade or musical genre is disallowed (nominating previous winners is however very much frowned upon).

Christy Moore - Black is the Colour vs. Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky (Sigh. Why couldn't either of these been up against decent songs?)
Robert Johnson - Crossroad vs. Van Halen - Jump (Two great songs, but still an easy choice for me)
Nicole - Ein Bisschen Frieden vs. Bullet For My Valentine - Your Betrayal (Normally this would be a win for the metal, but I've listened to and loved this song for 30 years. I have no problem with it losing this tie though as it probably deserves to.:D)
Cracked - Bouncing Souls vs. Nilsson - Without You (Now why couldn't one of these been paired up with Christy Moore or Pink Floyd? :shrug:)

Try listening to country music and participating in these song tournaments. My goal in these tournaments isn't to win. It's just to pick songs that make it past round one. You have no idea how hard it is for me to find 8 or more songs that I like that you people won't vote out in the first round. :shrug:

True. Sometimes I put some of my all time favourites in my choices, and when people don't pick them I'm thinking what's wrong with you for gods sake!!!

Sorry honey, but Irish and folk are two things I usually hate separately. Combine them and I really have no chance. :D The thing I hate most about Eurovision is that it's responsible for unleashing Riverdance on the world. :mad:
Why is everyone on the forum so sensitive today? I feel like I've entered a soap opera or something. "Today, on As the Forum Turns . . ."
Sorry. I'm not trying to be. But why would I participate in something I don't think I'll have fun participating in?

I rarely agree with the results of these things, but that doesn't lessen my enjoyment. And I'm certainly not going to pout because my songs lose in the first round.
Swan, I love that you nominate off-the-wall songs, even though they have little chance of advancing deep into the tournament. One of the coolest aspects of these tournaments is hearing new music for the first time. I may not like every song you nominate, but I appreciate that you try to introduce us to new artists and expand our sonic horizons.

You're missing the point. Your songs shouldn't be removed from the tournament. You should stay and play, and enjoy listening to some music.
This isn't about winning or losing. This is about having fun and maybe finding some new favorite songs. Don't let a few people's comments spoil your fun. If I dropped out every time someone said something bad about my song choices, (or my movie choices), I would have left this site within a week or two of finding this site.

ROUND 1 - Day 1
Cheap Trick - Surrender vs. R.E.M. - Losing my Religion
I've never liked Losing My Religion, and I'm disgusted to see it again after being runner-up in another tournament. I've always loved Surrender.
Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky vs. Night Ranger - Sister Christian
I think Spirit in the Sky is great, but it's not great enough to me to justify hearing it way too many times over the years. I love Sister Christian.
The Troggs - I Want You vs. Grits - Ooh Ahh
I didn't love The Troggs' song, but it's at least my style. That other one made me want to shoot myself in the brain.
Conchita Wurst - Rise Like A Phoenix vs. Joe Jackson - Mad At You
I honestly didn't care for either, and I think I just voted for the one that I'm more conditioned to like.
Christy Moore - Black is the Colour vs. Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky
Pretty close, because under the right circumstance I could love both of these songs.
Robert Johnson - Crossroad vs. Van Halen - Jump
Crossroad is certainly good, but it's not the kind of music I think I'd ever listen to consistently. Jump is VH's most played out song, but it's still great.
Nicole - Ein Bisschen Frieden vs. Bullet For My Valentine - Your Betrayal
Nicole was pleasant to listen to, but not understanding the vocals at all was a problem for me. I wasn't crazy about the other's vocal's, but the music was awesome.
Cracked - Bouncing Souls vs. Nilsson - Without You
I liked the music of Cracked, but the vocals were up and down for me. The Harry Nilsson song is a powerhouse.

Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky vs. Night Ranger - Sister Christian
The Troggs - I Want You vs. Grits - Ooh Ahh (I didn't really care for either of these songs. :shrug:)
Conchita Wurst - Rise Like A Phoenix vs. Joe Jackson - Mad At You (Is Conchita Wurst a girl or a guy? Either way, great song and great voice.)
Christy Moore - Black is the Colour vs. Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky
Robert Johnson - Crossroad vs. Van Halen - Jump
Nicole - Ein Bisschen Frieden vs. Bullet For My Valentine - Your Betrayal (I loved the song by Nicole, but I wish it was in English.)

Captain Spaulding
04-09-15, 12:56 AM
ROUND 1 - Day 1
Cheap Trick - Surrender vs. R.E.M. - Losing my Religion
(I nearly nominated "Surrender," so :up: to Fabulous for beating me to it. "Losing My Religion" is a great song, but I've heard it too many times over the years. Plus I've always found R.E.M. a little overrated.)
Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky vs. Night Ranger - Sister Christian
(Two classics that I like, but "Spirit in the Sky" is on a different level. Fantastic nomination, Miss Vicky. I think this song has a good chance to advance deep into the tournament.)
The Troggs - I Want You vs.Grits - Ooh Ahh
(I'm really only familiar with "Wild Thing" by the The Troggs, but I dig their sound and should probably buy a greatest hits album or something. The Grits song really surprised me, though. Maybe it's just because I'm from the South and regularly eat grits for breakfast, but I like this particular song a lot. I'm not religious, but I can appreciate the lyrics, and I like that they're decipherable, which is something I sometimes struggle with when it comes to rap and hip-hop.)
Conchita Wurst - Rise Like A Phoenix vs. Joe Jackson - Mad At You
(Whoa, that Conchita Wurst chick has a beard! :eek: This is my least favorite match-up so far. "Mad at You" is a decent song that could potentially grow on me, but I didn't particularly like either song, to be honest.)
Christy Moore - Black is the Colour vs. Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky
(I have Echoes: Best of Pink Floyd, a two-disc CD that I always play when I'm getting high. By the time "The Great Gig in the Sky" comes on, I'm usually pretty f*cking out of it and the song tends to freak me the hell out and cause me to think of the worst case scenario of every possible situation. Cookies in the oven? The house is on fire. A cop car just rode by? I'm about to be arrested. A strand of hair fell out? I'm balding. That's why I usually try to skip past it or else my high takes a turn for the worse. Anyways, "The Great Gig in the Sky" is far from my favorite Pink Floyd song, but I had forgotten about "Black is the Colour" even while it was still playing, so this is a pretty easy choice.)
Robert Johnson - Crossroad vs. Van Halen - Jump
("Jump" is one of my favorite songs by Van Halen, but I've never been a big fan of the band, even though I own some of their albums. Lately I've developed a huge respect for the old blues musicians who laid the groundwork for rock n' roll. Their sound and emotion is so raw that you can practically feel the sweat fly off the chords. I love it. I'm familiar with Clapton's cover of "Crossroad," although I didn't realize it was a cover until just now.)
Nicole - Ein Bisschen Frieden vs.Bullet For My Valentine - Your Betrayal
(I must've had Bullet For My Valentine confused with My Chemical Romance or someone, because their sound is much heavier than I expected. I was really digging "Your Betrayal" until the vocals started, then it quickly went downhill. As for the other song, I didn't pay any attention to the title, so I was expecting a classic country ballad based on the opening of the video, then she started singing in German or whatever the hell language that is. Despite not understanding a single word, I like her voice enough to vote for it. Surprised to see that this is honeykid's nomination.)
Cracked - Bouncing Souls vs. Nilsson - Without You
("Bouncing Souls" is an okay song. Perhaps a bit more sped up vocally than I like, but I would've voted for it over "Mad at You" or a few other songs in this round. But "Without You" is a much better song, in my opinion.)

Boards of Canada - Roygbiv (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yT0gRc2c2wQ)
WTF even is this? I'm voting for it because it was bizarre enough to keep me interested.
Kendrick Lamar - i (studio version) (m.youtube.com/watch?v=jltN3fLFmTQ)
Surprisingly catchy.
Brotherhood Of Man - Save All Your Kisses For Me (https://M.youtube.com/watch?v=ykKNC6NjgMc)

Blu Cantrell - Hit 'Em up Style (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LMOKlXfXn50&index=147&list=PLcv2rxz_aGG1ihZ3qWC7pR1orCKZGsG0C)
Also catchy. And shorter than that other song.
Joan Jett - I hate myself for loving you (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HPkTGm4RtVM)
I've loved this song since I was a little girl.
Ed Sheeran - I See Fire (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2fngvQS_PmQ)
I'm pretty apathetic to both, so this was basically the tiger I caught by the toe.
Bad Religion - Better off Dead (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j-Sx23b88sI)
I don't like this song, but I liked the other one even less.
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi_XLOBDo_Y)
My nomination, plus I've never been much of a fan of S&G though "Mrs. Robinson" is pretty good.

Round 1 - Day 1
1. Cheap Trick - Surrender (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1sAm5UCJ9vA)
I remember this song. I think Godoggo nominated it in a past tournament. It came close to winning. If I recall correctly, it was the 4th Song Tournament, the one she won (with "The Ballroom Blitz")
I'll be properly throwing up if "Losing My Religion" beats this, even though I like that song. That thing was already a runner up.
2. Night Ranger - Sister Christian (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z92bmlcmyq0)
A great song. The other one is, too, but I'd rather listen to "Sister Christian."
3. The Troggs - I Want You (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hlSaqT_SwVk)
4. Conchita Wurst - Rise Like A Phoenix (https://M.youtube.com/watch?v=QRUIava4WRM)
I like Joe Jackson, but not that particular thing. Conchita Wurst? I guess I have a new drag queen in my drag queen database. That song wasn't the best, though.

A-ha - Hunting High And Low vs. Boards of Canada - Roygbiv
Didn't like either very much.
Kendrick Lamar - i (studio version) vs. Pink Floyd - Free Four
I love Free Four; it's not one of those Floyd songs you hear all the time. I didn't like the other at all.
Billy Talent - This Suffering vs. Brotherhood Of Man - Save All Your Kisses For Me
Tough choice; I kind of liked both of them.
Funeral For A Friend - Into Oblivion (Reunion) vs. Blu Cantrell - Hit 'Em up Style
I really didn't care for the first one but I strongly disliked the other.
GBH - Sick Boy vs. Joan Jett - I hate myself for loving you
I didn't mind Sick Boy, but it's a little frantic for my taste. The Jett song is one of a few in this tournament that feels like I've heard too much. It's still a great song and gets the call here.
Ed Sheeran - I See Fire vs. Bob Marley - Redemption Song
I See Fire is very pleasant but doesn't do a lot for me. I pretty much like anything Marley, although that's not one of my favorites.
Thimbles - Old Pine vs. Bad Religion - Better off Dead
I thought both were decent.
Simon & Garfunkel - Mrs Robinson vs. Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Really close!

No sign of The Sci-Fi Slob still, hope all is well with them, there are a couple of close ties in Day 1 where their vote would be significant but I might as well give the other results where their vote won't alter the result ... that'll also give them less catching up to do with regards voting.

R.E.M. - Losing my Religion
Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky
The Troggs - I Want You
Joe Jackson - Mad At You
Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky

ROUND 1 - Day 2
A-ha - Hunting High And Low vs. Boards of Canada - Roygbiv
(Not crazy about either song. "Hunting High and Low" is generic 80's. I know I'm supposed to base my vote on the song and not the video, but I couldn't take my eyes off the video for "Roygbiv," so that's why I'm choosing it. Plus those lyrics are amazing. :laugh: This is like a retro Swan song. Schizophrenia dressed in an 80's tracksuit.)
Kendrick Lamar - i (studio version) vs. Pink Floyd - Free Four
(Not into rap, and this is a beautiful Pink Floyd song that I don't think I've ever heard before, so easy choice for me. Nice nomination, cricket.)
Billy Talent - This Suffering vs. Brotherhood Of Man - Save All Your Kisses For Me
(That Billy Talent song is appropriately named. It sounds like a million other songs that pass for "rock" nowadays. The Brotherhood of Man song is annoying and cheesy, but the harmonies are decent, I guess, and at least the dude knows how to rock a pair of white pants and a mean mustache.)
Funeral For A Friend - Into Oblivion (Reunion) vs. Blu Cantrell - Hit 'Em up Style
(Even though I'm judging them solely based on this song, Funeral For a Friend strikes me as the type of sissified rock that middle schoolers rave about. Why is rock dead? Because of bands like this. "Hit 'Em Up Style" isn't my kind of music, but at least it's listenable.)
GBH - Sick Boy vs. Joan Jett - I hate myself for loving you
("Sick Boy" made me want to headbang and shatter beer bottles against the wall, and I mean that in a good way. I wish it had been matched up against some of the other songs in this round. I can't vote against Joan Jett, though. She's my dream girl. I want to go back in time and marry her, even if it means that I have to get a sex change since she's a lesbian. She has more attitude and rock n' roll in one pubic hair than 95% of the bands that pass for rock nowadays. "I Hate Myself For Loving You" has long been a favorite song of mine. Very catchy, yet it still has that "f*ck you" spirit.)
Ed Sheeran - I See Fire vs. Bob Marley - Redemption Song
(I want to curb stomp Ed Sheeran just purely based on the way he looks, but I don't hate "I See Fire." If I'm right, that's the song that played during the end credits of The Desolation of Smaug, which is a movie that I really enjoyed, and in that context, the song wasn't half bad. Listening to it now, though, I find it pretty boring. As a stoner, I feel like I'm required to like Bob Marley. He's okay, I guess. Good background music, much like this song.)
Thimbles - Old Pine vs. Bad Religion - Better off Dead
("Old Pine" sounds like something I'd hear in a coffee shop. "Better Off Dead" sounds like something I'd hear on the radio while speeding down the highway with one of the girls from Thimbles giving me head. I listened to both of these songs twice, since I liked both but didn't feel particularly strong about either one.)
Simon & Garfunkel - Mrs Robinson vs.Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
(Even though I nominated a Paul Simon song that's been stuck in my head lately, I'm not really a fan. "Mrs. Robinson" is a good song, but I've never loved it. Michael Jackson was my first musical idol. I used to listen to the Bad cassette tape over and over and over when I was as young as four or five years old. Then there was that time I went to Neverland and slept in his bed, but I don't remember anything after drinking that strange-tasting Kool-Aid. Anyways, Michael Jackson has always been one of my favorite musical artists. His death saddened me more than any other celebrity who has died. "Billie Jean" is arguably his best song. It's impossible to listen to it without grooving to the music. The video is iconic. Great lyrics, too. I've been surprised that Michael Jackson hasn't been nominated more often in these tournaments. Hopefully this song does well.)

Human League - Keep Feeling (Fascination) vs. Aphex Twin - Goon Gumpas (I don't really care much so I probably should've voted for the Aphex Twin just for Swan, but I've decided to go with which I'd rather listen to and familiarity if nothing else gives it to Human League)
Madonna - Living for Love vs. Cat Stevens - Father and Son (Really don't care for that Madonna song at all)

Really don't care for that Madonna song at all
I thought the Madonna song was average
I really like it. I can't believe it's not a bigger hit. I feel like it would have been years ago. It seems like one of those danceable, memorable tunes you'd hear everywhere. And I love the video.
I sorta lost some interest in Madonna in the past few years or so, but I feel like she's coming back, though I hear the new album's flopping.
I would not have nominated that song if I didn't really care for it -- 'cause I know Madonna never gets far in these tournaments. But I think "Living for Love" is one of her best songs in years. I also like the new single, Ghosttown:

AIR - Run (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jxEnv2zi01g)
I much prefer AIR's "Sexy Boy" to this, but this is good too.
Slipknot - The Devil In I (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XEEasR7hVhA)
Kind of a toss up. Am fairly apathetic to both.
Led Zeppelin - All My Love (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qBI_Av00_Fo)
Never been much of a Zeppelin fan, but I LOVE this song.
The Soup Dragons - I'm Free (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVGf3ePIO04)
This song's pretty good, but it doesn't matter. It would have to suck really, REALLY bad - like "Wonderful Christmas Time" bad - for me to vote for "Wonderwall" or anything Oasis.
Aphex Twin - Goon Gumpas (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_1H4BGEg2dc)
If the opponent had been "Don't You Want Me" it'd be no contest. But "Fascination" is just not doing it for me.
Cat Stevens - Father and Son (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vdMPuMeTxzY)
If the Madonna song had been something else, I might have voted the other way. I like "Father and Son" well enough and I love Cat's voice, but it isn't one of my favorites from him.
I Wanna be your Dog - The Stooges (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BJIqnXTqg8I)
I'm much more familiar with Joan Jett's cover (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=akPwI92Y9S0), but this version is quite good too.
Mr. Lonely - Bobby Vinton (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=djU4Lq_5EaM)
I'm not crazy about this song at all, but I've always hated "Mother, Mother" so Vinton wins my vote by default.

I love that song. The music video is really strange.
AIR - Run vs. Fleet Foxes - He Doesn't Know Why
("Run" is simply one of my top five favorite songs of all-time. It is absolutely fantastic, flawless, beautifully polished. Every beat and musical note sounds incredible to me. The Fleet Foxes song is good, too, and I've been meaning to check more of them out - but up against "Run", it's no contest for me.)
Slipknot - The Devil In I vs. Death Grips - I've Seen Footage
(I can see why some people might be turned off by Death Grips, because they sound incredibly chaotic, but I like it better than Slipknot, if only because they utilize electronic music.)
Led Zeppelin - All My Love vs. The Turtles - Happy Together
(Not going to lie, I've gotten back into the Zep a bit. I was a big fan as a kid but kind of fell out of love with them in my teens. Lately, however, I tried to focus on their positives - Page's riff-making abilities, Bonham's incredible drum playing skills - and found I am able to enjoy them quite a bit. "Happy Together" is good, a classic for sure, but it's not contest against the Zep.)
The Soup Dragons - I'm Free vs. Oasis - Wonderwall
(Whenever I think of Oasis, all I think about is how they sound like The Beatles. What's funny is, they don't really THAT much, aside from Gallagher's voice. But, I was introduced to them as a kid by my dad, who said they sound a lot like The Beatles. Therefore, that's who I always associate them with. Anyway, it's "Wonderwall." Great tune.)
Human League - Keep Feeling (Fascination) vs. Aphex Twin - Goon Gumpas
(Aphex Twin is a hero of mine and I consider him nothing less than a genius. He's basically the Mozart of electronic music. He took the medium and went absolutely crazy with it and has created incredible pieces of music that are unsurpassed in the electronic music arena. It seems, however, he's too unusual for most people - I went with one of the more accessible songs on his most accessible, and best, album, and he still isn't doing well at all. Oh well. If electronic music is forever an unusual niche thing, so be it - but I hope one day Aphex Twin is recognized as being the genius that he is.)
Madonna - Living for Love vs. Cat Stevens - Father and Son
(Not crazy about the Madonna song, and Cat Stevens is too good to pass up.)
Pennywise - X Generation vs. I Wanna be your Dog - The Stooges
(Stooges!)
Tracy Bonham - Mother Mother vs. Mr. Lonely - Bobby Vinton
(Really liked the Tracy Bonham song. Will have to check out more of her work.)

ROUND 1 - Day 3
AIR - Run vs. Fleet Foxes - He Doesn't Know Why
(I love how I can immediately recognize Swan's nominations within the first few seconds of the song without even having to look back to the first page. "Run" was okay, but it's not something I'd want to listen to again and again, whereas I loved the Fleet Foxes song. I'm surprised to see that they're a newer band, since they look and sound like a group I'd hear at a commune back in the 60's. I really dig the groovy hippie vibe. The video was also enjoyable. As someone commented on Youtube, "You know you've got a hit when the goats join in on the singing." Thankfully cricket didn't show up and start raping any of those goats. :up: to jj for the nomination, even though everybody else seems to hate it. I'll be checking out more music from Fleet Foxes.)
Slipknot - The Devil In I vs. Death Grips - I've Seen Footage
(I've always liked the look of Slipknot more than their sound, but this song was decent. Certainly much better than the cacophony it's matched up against.)
Led Zeppelin - All My Love vs.The Turtles - Happy Together
(Led Zeppelin is one of my top five favorite bands. I was planning on nominating "When the Levee Breaks," but so many other Led Zeppelin songs were getting nominated in this tournament that I was worried about oversaturation. "Happy Together" is a great song that I've nominated in a previous tournament, but "All My Love" is such a fantastic track that often gets overlooked in Led Zeppelin's catalogue since most people focus on their first four albums. Love both songs, but easy choice.)
The Soup Dragons - I'm Free vs. Oasis - Wonderwall
(I love when I click on one of these songs, thinking I'm about to hear something for the first time, only to have the song immediately register in my memory. That's what happened with "I'm Free." I haven't heard that song in forever, whereas I've heard "Wonderall" about 68448210584035 times.)
Human League - Keep Feeling (Fascination) vs. Aphex Twin - Goon Gumpas
("Keep Feeling (Fascination)" is a song I've heard many times before, but I've never particularly cared for it. I don't care for "Goon Gumpas," either, but it's less annoying. Plus I want Swan to keep having fun in these tournaments, so favoritism is probably factoring in a little bit.)
Madonna - Living for Love vs. Cat Stevens - Father and Son
(Madonna is my favorite female artist. Even though she doesn't make rock n' roll music, she has that rock n' roll spirit that I admire. She doesn't give a ***** what people say. She does things her own way. She pushes the envelope. She's also great at reinventing herself. We need more artists like her. I saw her perform this song at the Grammy's. It's a very good track and definitely the best single she's put out since "Hung Up." I like the video, too. The Cat Stevens song is okay and has decent lyrics, but it's a little too sleepy.)
Pennywise - X Generation vs. I Wanna be your Dog - The Stooges
(I liked "X Generation," but Pennywise look like wannabes next to The Stooges.)
Tracy Bonham - Mother Mother vs. Mr. Lonely - Bobby Vinton
(I always listen to the entirety of every song, no matter how much I dislike it, but I nearly bailed on that "Mother Mother" within the first thirty seconds. Nails on a chalkboard would win in a singing competition against Tracy Bonham. The song kicked into a different gear after forty-five seconds or so, but I still hated it. My ears are even bleeding a little bit. The Bobby Vinton song is pure class, though. He does things with his voice that remind me of Roy Orbison. This is the biggest mismatch of the tournament so far: one of the best nominations versus one of the worst. No offense, cricket.)

Glad to see you're joining me on the commentary, Swan. It's fun hearing what people think of the songs beyond just "I liked it/didn't like it."

I agree, basically. I liked "4 Minutes" from Hard Candy, but that was the very last thing of Madonna's that I particularly cared for. That album wasn't special to me. That was back in 2008. Confessions on a Dance Floor was 2005, and I really like that album, but it's a weird album.

"Living for Love" is better than "Hung Up", though, I feel.

Pennywise - X Generation (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nH-6HmKpRlQ) (the other song was not very good imo, quite repetitive and always on the same tone, the solo at the end was pretty good, but it wasn't enough)

ROUND 1 - Day 4
Mark Jonathan Davis - The Star Wars Cantina vs. Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
Star Wars Cantina was fun to listen to-glad it was nominated. Black Dog is probably about #20 in a list of my favorite Zeppelin songs. But Zeppelin has over 20 great songs.
Frank Ocean - Strawberry Swing vs. Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
I think Queen is one of the most unique and talented bands ever, but there's only a few songs I really like by them. Usually, if I don't like a song of theirs, it annoys me. The other song is solid.
Nine Inch Nails - 1 Ghosts 1 vs. Shovels & Rope - Birmingham
I saw Nine Inch Nails in this match and was sure I'd vote for them, but then it's an instrumental. Instrumentals usually just leave me cold. To vote for it, I would've needed to dislike the other song. I ended up really enjoying the other song.
Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby vs. Nirvana - Come As You Are
Toughest match of the round for me-love both of these tunes!
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters vs. The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored
This is too bad because I never heard the 2nd song before, and I thought it was fantastic. It's hard going against a great song from a favorite band.
Scorpions - Wind Of Change vs. Don't worry be happy - Bobby Mcferrin
I've always thought there was a lot of good in the McFerrin song, but it's just not my style. I've always liked Wind of Change.
Eminem - Cleanin' Out My Closet vs. ABBA - Waterloo
I liked that one big hit Eminem had, but overall if I'm being honest, I don't get the appeal. Abba is a fun band and that's one of their good songs.
Rammstein - Links 2-3-4 vs. Airbourne - Live It Up
I don't even want to vote on this one unless a tiebreaker is needed. Never heard either, listened to both twice, really liked both, and can't make up my mind. A first for me.
Gbgoodies-I'm shocked that you didn't vote for Shovels and Rope-I assumed it was your nomination.

Mark Jonathan Davis - The Star Wars Cantina vs. Led Zeppelin - Black Dog (Not heard The Star Wars Cantina before and it put a big smile on my face. Usually I'd still go for Black Dog because it's great, but atm I need that smile, so thank you. :))
Frank Ocean - Strawberry Swing vs. Queen - Don't Stop Me Now (Sorry jj, but as nice and inoffensive as it was, I love Don't Stop Me Now. I think I nominated it last time around.)
Nine Inch Nails - 1 Ghosts 1 vs. Shovels & Rope - Birmingham (I'm slightly surprised at myself here, as I usually don't like NIN much at all, but I actually did like that. The other wasn't bad for what it was, either. :eek:)
Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby vs. Nirvana - Come As You Are (Yeah, The Beach Boys, we all love 'em, yadda, yadda, yadda. It's Nirvana all the way without a shadow of a doubt)
Metallica - Nothing Else Matter vs. The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored (Sacrilege to say over here, but I never cared for The Stone Roses. A couple of songs, sure, but not this one. A great Metallica song, too.)
Scorpions - Wind Of Change vs. Don't worry be happy - Bobby Mcferrin (Grr. Two songs that I used to like but really get on my wick now. In my current mood it's the finger clickin' McFerrin)
Eminem - Cleanin' Out My Closet vs. ABBA - Waterloo (One of my Eurovision noms. But even if it wasn't, this one's easy for me. Nice cheery song about a French defeat vs the king of the whiners.)
Rammstein - Links 2-3-4 vs. Airbourne - Live It Up (I thought I'd vote for Rammstein on this one, as I used to listen to that song (and album) a lot, but that Airbourne track is proper hard rock. Good to hear. :up:)

Led Zeppelin - Black Dog (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgm7F30EN50)
I like a lot of novelty songs, but that Star Wars thing wasn't doing it.
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HgzGwKwLmgM)
No contest.
Nine Inch Nails - 1 Ghosts 1 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HSZhBParVjo)
I'm not familier with this NIN song and I'm not loving it, but I couldn't take the the voice in that other one.
Nirvana - Come As You Are (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vabnZ9-ex7o)
I like the Beach Boys, but this is one of my favorite Nirvana songs.
Metallica - Nothing Else Matter (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x7bIbVlIqEc)
I don't care for Metallica in general, but this is one of their better songs.
Scorpions - Wind Of Change (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YFh2vpGeoIk)
I actually thought about nominating "Don't Worry Be Happy" just to see how it did, but it's kind of a stupid song.
Eminem - Cleanin' Out My Closet (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4zmBgEwFcWM)
Not an Eminem fan, but I'm even less of an ABBA fan.
Rammstein - Links 2-3-4 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uIiMhSvtrGc)
I like Rammstein and have nominated them myself in the past, but I'm not crazy about this particular song. On other hand, I wanted to turn off that other thing after only about 5 seconds so this gets my vote.

Mark Jonathan Davis - The Star Wars Cantina vs. Led Zeppelin - Black Dog - didn't like the other one at all

Nine Inch Nails - 1 Ghosts 1 vs. Shovels & Rope - Birmingham - Liked both of these too
Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby vs. Nirvana - Come As You Are
Metallica - Nothing Else Matter vs. The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored
Scorpions - Wind Of Change vs. Don't worry be happy - Bobby Mcferrin - I like Don't Worry as a song but Bobby McFerrin putting on that accent gets on my wick
Eminem - Cleanin' Out My Closet vs. ABBA - Waterloo - you couldn't get more opposite songs! I like Abba, but Waterloo not so much.
Rammstein - Links 2-3-4 vs. Airbourne - Live It Up - don't recall hearing either of these before, and I like them both. Like the drumming in the Rammstein song, but voted for Airbourne cos i liked the guitar.

Metallica - Nothing Else Matter vs. The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored (easiest choice ever for me)
Scorpions - Wind Of Change vs. Don't worry be happy - Bobby Mcferrin (The best song from Scorpions and also a classic of a generation)
Eminem - Cleanin' Out My Closet vs. ABBA - Waterloo (eminem is a rap machine and this song is awesome props)

Captain Spaulding-
When the Levee Breaks is my favorite Zeppelin song.
:highfive:
Mine too. You should've nominated it!
Gbgoodies-I'm shocked that you didn't vote for Shovels and Rope-I assumed it was your nomination.
The Shovels & Rope song is my nomination.
I caught them on Austin City Limits one night and immediately became a fan. They remind me a little of a hillbilly version of The White Stripes. Sometime the guy sings lead, sometimes the woman. She plays guitar, he plays drums, then she plays drums, he plays guitar. They play several other instruments. They're multi-talented. I found out later that they're from Charleston, South Carolina, which made me like them even more. I've got family in Charleston and I usually go on vacation down there almost every summer.
I've become a fan of country music over the last few years. I'm mostly into old stuff like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline, but there are a lot of great modern country artists too. Unfortunately none of them get any airplay because they don't sing about beer and trucks and loving Jesus. They don't fit the commercialized mold. Their lyrics don't appeal to religious Republicans. All the good country artists out there nowadays are labeled as alt-country since they infuse other elements of music into their sound and they don't suck Nashville's d!ck. Shovels & Rope is just one of many such examples.
I didn't expect them to advance past this round, but I'm glad that people like the song somewhat even if they're not voting for it. Hearing honeykid say it "wasn't bad for what it was" is a small victory for me. I know the twang is always going to turn off some people, but it doesn't bother me. It kinda reminds me of home actually.
And I'm absolutely floored that gbgoodies voted against it, especially considering her taste in music and the fact that it's matched up against Nine Inch Nails. Something tells me she's still bitter about that Best New MoFo award. :p

(Could have voted for either, really.)
Nine Inch Nails - 1 Ghosts 1 vs. Shovels & Rope - Birmingham
(F*cking Ghosts I-IV, man. Such a good album. That said, I didn't hate the other one. Kind of reminded me of Drive-By Truckers, a band I'm a big fan of, even though the lead singer here is a female.)
Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby vs. Nirvana - Come As You Are
(I like Nirvana, but the Beach Boys were incredible both in their musical abilities and their stunning production abilities. In a way, they're underrated, as most people see them as simply an oldies pop band. Which they are... but they are more than that, too.)
Metallica - Nothing Else Matter vs. The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored
(Had this been ANYTHING by Metallica pre-And Justice for All, I'd have voted for them. But I feel they lost it once Cliff Burton died [though AJfA and Black Album aren't bad, just not on the same level as their previous work]. The Stone Roses song was ace.)
Scorpions - Wind Of Change vs. Don't worry be happy - Bobby Mcferrin
("Don't Worry be Happy "is a classic of happy music.)

Really? Stylistically they have very little in common with the music I favor (and therefore nominate). I don't know why you're surprised.
Oh wait. I forgot Styx was up against f*cking "Don't Fear the Reaper." Sorry, Derek.
Jon Hopkins uses the same synth I got. :D
Not that anyone cares...

I don't know anyone who don't like styx but it's ok I guess...
Btw I think i'm just gonna stop with this tournament my musical taste are just too different so I just gonna break ties and stop voting. You're in really good hand with Chympunk btw he's great

So you're just going to abandon your remaining nominations? Stick it out to the bitter end, man. My favorite artists never make it far either.

If you enjoy these song tournaments, don't stop participating just because your musical tastes are different. It's not about winning. It's just about having fun.
Nobody's musical tastes are more different than mine, and I love these song tournaments. There are some songs that I don't like, but there are more songs that I enjoy hearing, even though they'll probably never make my favorites list.

Matoma & The Notorious B.I.G. - Old Thing Back vs. Journey - Open Arms (I don't care for either, but the other is so repugnant that I'd vote for practically anything half decent against it)
Styx - Suite Madame Blue vs. Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper (I love this song and, like most outside of N.America, I don't care about Styx. Not that it's bad, I just don't care and boy did it go on)
Kavinsky - Nightcall vs. Jon Hopkins - We Disappear (Dear God in heaven. What the hell am I supposed to do with these two? Awful. Really awful. Please don't do this again.)
Ramones - I Don't Want to Grow up vs. Santana ft Chad Kroeger - Into The Night (I don't mind his voice, but this is an easy one.)
Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused vs. Queen - You're my Best Friend (I like the Queen track, but it's not one I'd usually choose to listen to if I was in a Queen mood)
Todd Terje - Svensk Sas vs. A-ha - The Sun Always Shines On TV (Umm... Really? **** off. :D Even if it wasn't mine this'd walk it for me.)
James Brown - The Boss vs. Country Road take me Home - John Denver (I like James Brown, but I love The Boss. It's one of his best, IMO. Not a fan of John Denver, either)
Bryan Adams - Run To You vs. Genesis - Misunderstanding (I'm not much of a Bryan Adams fan, but I quite like this one. I'm not much of a Genesis fan, either, but I don't really care for this one at all.)

Don'd do that. How are your musical tastes too different? I thought that was the whole point of doing these tournements. You've only lost one song so far, HK's lost 4 already and he's not moaning!
Hope you have a rethink Derek like Swan did.
I don't think anybody loses as many songs with as much regularity as early as I do in these things, not even gbg. I'll not abandon my babes though no matter what - I mean my nieces got knocked out on Day 2 .... it can't get any more personal than that can it? ;)
I can't help the match-ups - blame random.org for that. I accept people have diverse taste in music and for that I am thankful even if it means much loved songs put forward by me suffer as a result. Stick with it I say.
I meant to pick you up on this the first time you said it and I went and forgot - I presume you mean Thimbles? Are those girls your neices?
I like the diversity in music. It's cool to listen to stuff you'd never normally listen to.

They are indeed, stoked they only went out narrowly.
Aww and I never voted for them either , sorry :( they're gorgeous girls. I'm just listening to the next round but I'll go back and listen to more of their songs later.

Matoma & The Notorious B.I.G. - Old Thing Back vs. Journey - Open Arms
Styx - Suite Madame Blue vs. Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper Don't Fear the Reaper is an amazing song
Kavinsky - Nightcall vs. Jon Hopkins - We Disappear never heard either of these two before but liked them both
Ramones - I Don't Want to Grow up vs. Santana ft Chad Kroeger - Into The Night Ramones are ok but I liked seeing and hearing Carlos again
Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused vs. Queen - You're my Best Friend Queen have a very strong emotion attachment for me so it'd take a lot to vote against them
Todd Terje - Svensk Sas vs. A-ha - The Sun Always Shines On TV - that Todd Terje is inspired! Proof that I can iron and dance at the same time
James Brown - The Boss vs. Country Road take me Home - John Denver - it'd take a lot for me to vote against The Godfather too
Bryan Adams - Run To You vs. Genesis - Misunderstanding
Christine knows what's up!
