Song Tournament 31

[cat_sidhe]

Having a tough day, doing this to maybe cheer myself up.

https://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=49646





You know the swing of things by now...pick 8 songs, anything you like just as long as it's under 10min long and not a previous winner, and I'll throw it all at random.org and we vote as we like.

Margo Price - Hands of Time (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vMEnLtDbcFE)

Love this song. Love Margo's first album.

[Captain Spaulding]

It's not really the best timing for me, so I think I'm going to drop out. Doubt I'd be able to vote regularly, and I don't want to nominate a bunch of stuff and then not participate. Hopefully by the next song tournament I'll have less going on and I'll be able to join the fun.

[cat_sidhe]

That's sad. Was looking forward to yours. I'd even played that Filter before. Great song. :(

I'll keep it open another 24 hours then start.

[cat_sidhe]

Sorry to trouble everyone, but leave/adjust your noms for a while.

I can't quite start it yet. As I feel like I want to die.
So if it's ok with everyone just quitely gather abd tweak as time goes on. It shouldn't take TOO long. :lol: A couple of days.

Shall we say we begin this shindig torroe evening my time (GMT+1). Around 6 ish. I'm working tomorrow so this would happen after that.

[cat_sidhe]

I'm changing the amount of nominations to 10 each. I'm not sure we'll have that many players, so whaddaysay folks? 10 a piece?

[cat_sidhe]

[cat_sidhe]

Grand with me but I'll have to sort you out two more in the morning as I'm too close to the land of nod right now.

Oh yeah this one we're taking at an easy pace. There's only one song in my whole lineup that's a bit of an arse kicker, BUT...it has nice melodic part and the drumming's amazing and if you're watching the video it's pretty good eye candy. And French so they give no ****s!. Yay!

[cat_sidhe]

Happy to change all mine to short songs if wanted.

Like I said before I changed face to divine naughty boy stuff, any and all changed accepted until the minute the go-gun gets fired. ;)

[Sedai]

So are we adding two more selections?

[cat_sidhe]

So are we adding two more selections?

Yep baby, yes!

I'll update the reserved post tonight with everyone's noms, and just @me in a post if you want to change anything. It's really, really no problem.

[Sedai]

OK, I will dig up two more 9:52 songs soon!

;) ;)

[jiraffejustin]

Added my two extras

[cat_sidhe]

TheUsualSuspect

Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill vs Filter - Hey Man, Nice Shot

The Steel Woods - Straw in the Wind vs The Pretty Reckless - Take Me Down

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Keep a Little Soul vs The Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn't Want to be Like You

Tom Petty - Cabin Down Below vs Rotting Christ - Devadevam

[Sedai]

Scorpions - Holiday vs The Glorious Sons - Heavy - The second was a little too country for my taste...

Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill vs Filter - Hey Man, Nice Shot The one Filter track I like...

The Steel Woods - Straw in the Wind vs The Pretty Reckless - Take Me Down Was just complaining about country a couple of selections up, but The Steel Woods track is actually pretty good. I still like the Taylor Momsen track more, though.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Keep a Little Soul vs The Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn't Want to be Like You I can't abide Tom Petty. I also happen to like The Alan Parsons Project a whole lot. Easy choice.

Tom Petty - Cabin Down Below vs Rotting Christ - Devadevam Tom Petty again? Vs. metal? Another easy choice.

[Captain Spaulding]

ROUND 1 DAY 1

Scorpions - Holiday vs The Glorious Sons - Heavy
(I'm a fan of The Scorpions, but a lot of their ballads blur together. The Glorious Sons, despite being Canadian, sound like authentic southern rock.)

Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill vs Filter - Hey Man, Nice Shot
("Blueberry Hill" is an all-time great song, but "Hey Man, Nice Shot" always provides me with a nice kick in the ass, and that alternative aggression better suits my mood at the moment.)

The Steel Woods - Straw in the Wind vs The Pretty Reckless - Take Me Down
(I've liked most of the songs I've heard from The Pretty Reckless, and this song is no exception, but as with everything else I've heard from them, their sound is a bit too generic for me to call it anything but decent. Love the lyrics and Skynyrd-inspired sound of "Straw in the Wind.")

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Keep a Little Soul vs The Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn't Want to be Like You
(Love Petty, but the funkiness of the second song was a welcome change of pace at this point in the set.)

Tom Petty - Cabin Down Below vs Rotting Christ - Devadevam
(Nothing against Petty, since I like "Cabin Down Below" and those cool guitar licks, but I'm weirdly into the Rotting Christ song with its heavy, trance-like, meditative quality. I picture Hindu monks rocking out to this song.)

[TheUsualSuspect]

[jiraffejustin]

I'll vote when I get home in about 3 hours

[cat_sidhe]

ROUND 1 DAY 1

Scorpions - Holiday vs The Glorious Sons - Heavy
Tough one - I liked both. Going with the one I haven't heard before.

Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill vs Filter - Hey Man, Nice Shot
Easy one for me as I've nominated that Filter song before. It's a great song. The Fats Domino one is ok...I've never been the biggest fan of it.

The Steel Woods - Straw in the Wind vs The Pretty Reckless - Take Me Down
Another tough one, as I quite like The Pretty Reckless. Not enough to get any of their albums but I think they're quite good. The Steel Woods is new to me, too...liked it a tad better.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Keep a Little Soul vs The Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn't Want to be Like You
Easy vote for me as I'm not a fan of Tom Petty, but I've always liked The Alan Parsons Project. My dad played a lot of them when I was growing up, so it's kind of comfort music for me.

Tom Petty - Cabin Down Below vs Rotting Christ - Devadevam
Easiest vote of the round for me. ****ing loooooove Rotting Christ. Of corpse. :lol:

[jiraffejustin]

Scorpions - Holiday vs The Glorious Sons - Heavy - Vote for the second cause The Sopranos reference. Not a big fan of Scorpions or really the second song, but the second song is more my style.

Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill vs Filter - Hey Man, Nice Shot - I dig the second song. I just watched the video Dwyer's suicide.... Jesus Christ. I'll vote for the first song because there is a little bit of sentimental value attached to it for me, and it is an all-time classic. I look forward to voting for whoever wins in the upcoming rounds.

The Steel Woods - Straw in the Wind vs The Pretty Reckless - Take Me Down - Holy sh*t. The first song is exactly my style... let me guess, Captain Spaulding nominated this? The Pretty Reckless don't seem too bad, but it would take a monster song to outdo this first-time listening to its competition.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Keep a Little Soul vs The Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn't Want to be Like You - I've always been aware of The Alan Parsons Project, but I've never pulled the deep dive. This song is straight funk, I dig it. Petty, on the other hand, I've always been lukewarm on.

Tom Petty - Cabin Down Below vs Rotting Christ - Devadevam - I didn't know what to expect from a band called Rotting Christ, but I am getting some Carcosa vibes. Once again, lukewarm to the late Petty.


Top Five Songs from this Set

1. Straw in the Wind
2. I Wouldn't Want to be Like You
3. Blueberry Hill
4. Hey Man, Nice Shot
5. Devadevam

[Miss Vicky]

That first set was brutal. Three out of five of those matches had my noms and they all lost. Ouch.

[Sedai]

Nicole Atkins - A Little Crazy vs The Folksmen - Start Me Up - Eeek! Neither of these is my cup of tea AT ALL. Went with the first one.

Amorphis - I of Crimson Blood vs Hacride - Perturbed - Wasn't feeling the second track. Vocal was a little to metal core for my taste. The first track is on one of my favorite albums of all time.

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off vs Moloko - Forever More I have heard Tay Swift songs I have liked, but this isn't one of them. Second track had a good dance beat, at least...

Planet of Zeus - Them Nights vs Coheed & Cambria - The Afterman - First track sort of reminded me of old Corrosion of Conformity - I liked it well enough. Love Coheed and Cambria, though, and The Afterman is such a great song; it's one of my wife's favorite songs ever!

Chic - I Want Your Love vs Maroon 5 (ft. Cardi B) - Girls Like You - Went with the funk. I also really liked the concept of the Maroon 5 video, but man, Cardi B just rubs me the wrong way.

[Miss Vicky]

ROUND 1 DAY 2

Nicole Atkins - A Little Crazy vs The Folksmen - Start Me Up
I don't care for most female voices. Atkins is not an exception. Also I love A Mighty Wind.

Amorphis - I of Crimson Blood vs Hacride - Perturbed
I hated both of these, but the first is marginally less grating.

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off vs Moloko - Forever More
The second one gets my vote on account of not being Taylor Swift.

Planet of Zeus - Them Nights vs Coheed & Cambria - The Afterman
I didn't care for either of these, but really didn't like the vocal in the second one.

Chic - I Want Your Love vs Maroon 5 (ft. Cardi B) - Girls Like You
Adam Levine bugs.

[jiraffejustin]

Nicole Atkins - A Little Crazy vs The Folksmen - Start Me Up - I recognized the Nicole Atkins name; it kept bugging me that I couldn't put a face or voice to it, but as soon as I clicked on the link it all came rushing back. She's got a powerful voice and reminds me of Patsy Cline a bit. I'd still Patsy over her, but Nicole ain't bad. The crazy white boys in the second one are interesting enough.

Amorphis - I of Crimson Blood) vs Hacride - Perturbed - I don't really have strong feelings about this match-up. The second one I was enjoying despite thinking that I really shouldn't be enjoying it because it's not really the type of metal I gravitate towards... so that's sort of a compliment.

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off vs Moloko - Forever More - Charli XCX has a pretty dope cover of "Shake It Off". This is an easy choice.

Planet of Zeus - Them Nights vs Coheed & Cambria - The Afterman - I dig the music in the first track a lot, the vocals and lyrics don't seem to be pushing my buttons. I've always kinda been like "Coheed & Cambria? I guess they are cool or whatever." Pretty much still feel like that.

Chic - I Want Your Love vs Maroon 5 (ft. Cardi B) - Girls Like You - I am fascinated by Cardi B, she is so likable. I just don't know what to make of her music yet, and even if I find that it isn't great, I don't want to call it bad. I don't want to speak ill of her, she's adorable. Maroon 5 on the other hand...

[Captain Spaulding]

ROUND 1 DAY 2

Nicole Atkins - A Little Crazy vs The Folksmen - Start Me Up
(Whether you like country or not, I'd hope that people can appreciate the great vocal on "A Little Crazy." JJ's Patsy Cline comparison is spot-on. The goofy, folk parody of The Rolling Stones' "Start It Up" is okay, but not something I'd want to hear again.)

Amorphis - I of Crimson Blood vs Hacride - Perturbed
(Found the first track generic and forgettable. It's not bad, but nothing about it distinguishes itself from other similar sounding metal songs. Don't love "Perturbed," but I admire its energy and aggression. Bonus points for getting to see boobs in the music video.)

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off vs Moloko - Forever More
(I despise Taylor Swift. Seeing that this video has almost 3 billion views makes me want to press the "launch" button on my personal set of nukes. "Forever More"' was alright. For a dance track, it didn't make me want to move, but it could've been five minutes of someone making fart noises with their armpit and I still would've voted for it over the black hole of musical talent that is Taylor Swift.)

Planet of Zeus - Them Nights vs Coheed & Cambria - The Afterman
(I've tried unsuccessfully to get into Coheed & Cambria in the past. Kept hoping "The Afterman" would kick into a second gear but it never happened. "Them Nights" has a really cool groove and I like how it builds. It's a song I keep returning to, even though it flirts with a level of quality it never quite reaches.)

Chic - I Want Your Love vs Maroon 5 (ft. Cardi B) - Girls Like You
(Not going to lie, I found the second song extremely catchy.)

[cat_sidhe]

That first set was brutal. Three out of five of those matches had my noms and they all lost. Ouch.

Everyone's had the odd brutal set in these tournaments. Hope it doesn't put you off. I had one where I kept having my own matched up against each other. At first I thought WHOAH WHYYY...but then realised at least that meant one of the two was going livig to fight another day. Now I almost hope random.org does that to me again. :lol:

Edit: will vote when I get home in a couple of hours.

[Miss Vicky]

Everyone's had the odd brutal set in these tournaments. Hope it doesn't put you off.

Oh, I'm well aware. I've done many past song tournaments and I'm used to my songs not meshing with other people's tastes. That first set was especially brutal though because two of those three noms were from my all-time favorite artist, who apparently some people here "can't abide."

[Sedai]

Oh, I'm well aware. I've done many past song tournaments and I'm used to my songs not meshing with other people's tastes. That first set was especially brutal though because two of those three noms were from my all-time favorite artist, who apparently some people here "can't abide."

It's his voice, mostly. For what it's worth, the guy is pretty great at writing music. The issue with me is that a combination of a voice that I find annoying, and a massive amount of overplay during the first couple of decades of my life put him in the SKIP category for me. There are other artists I really like who have songs that get the same treatment from me. Black Dog by Led Zeppelin comes to mind immediately. If I never hear that song again, it will be too soon. Love the band, but man, that song is ridiculously overplayed. Same goes for Petty tracks like Freefallin' and Refugee. Great tunes, but I have heard them WAY too many times.

Keep in mind: I'm old!

[Miss Vicky]

It's his voice, mostly.

No worries, Seds. There are plenty of artists that I absolutely can't stand that others really love. Oasis comes to mind as one. If I never hear them again, it'll be too soon. Their voices damn near cause me physical pain. :laugh:

Oh, and I really don't like metal. Yet I've apparently joined a tournament populated by several metalheads. Yay me. :rolleyes:

There's a reason I've only played my all time fav artist once in all the tournaments I've done - it's too weird for most people, so I know I'm running a nomination right into the wall by using their stuff. I'm not really here to torture people, ok, maybe a little :lol:, sometimes hopefully make them laugh with a song even if I know it's going to hit the wall immediately.

[cat_sidhe]

Oh, and I really don't like metal. Yet I've apparently joined a tournament populated by several metalheads. Yay me. :rolleyes:

Yeah, but even the metalheads torture each other.

I knew you'd hate the metal but it was only one song from my list that's metal. French metal, which probably doesn't even count. :lol:

I don't think I've ever done a song tournament where I didn't nominate at least one Petty song. Actually, there was one tournament where I nominated ONLY Tom Petty songs (16 of them, IIRC). I bet Sedai would've loved that! :D

Ah then youy know Tom Petty doesn't do well inthe tournaments (or were people more friendly to his work playing then?)...it reminds me of DerekVinyard and his one trounament entry of only Linkin Park nominations. :D

Yeah, I try not to **** on peoples' noms as it's all stuff they like so I try to be nice about the stuff I really recoil to.

Yeah, he doesn't do well. But he does sometimes at least make it past round one. :lol:

Still, it would feel wrong to me to not nominate him. Lindsey Buckingham too. I always try to fit him in there somehow. He really doesn't do well either, but **** it. I love him.

[Sedai]

I totally understand folks that can't stand metal, too. It's one of those love it or hate it genres, for sure. My wife and I listen to some pretty savage metal, and it drives many of our friends and family nuts. Then again, we have also converted several people over to listening to death metal (one person who is a former reggae & pop listener), so...muahahahah!

[cat_sidhe]

Yeah, he doesn't do well. But he does sometimes at least make it past round one. :lol:

Still, it would feel wrong to me to not nominate him. Lindsey Buckingham too. I always try to fit him in there somehow. He really doesn't do well either, but **** it. I love him.

That's how the metalheads feel about the metal. :lol: We know people are going to hate it but we love it so we nominate just the one. Unless you're pakaK or Sedai. :D

[cat_sidhe]

Round 1 Day 2

Nicole Atkins - A Little Crazy vs The Folksmen - Start Me Up
I hadn't heard either before, and while I did smile at the second one (I like it if bands are going to do cover versions, that they do it in their own style), the first was quite lovely and I couldn't resist it.

Amorphis - I of Crimson Blood) vs Hacride - Perturbed
:lol: Sedai's going to temp ban me, but I did confess to not really being a fan of Amorphis. This wasn't a bad track though. I just like the tech brutality of Perturbed. It's quite intense. I'm attracted to intense music, movies, people, animals...:lol:

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off vs Moloko - Forever More
Easy vote for me, really not a Taylor Swift type. Róisín Murphy, however...I'd kiss her.

Planet of Zeus - Them Nights vs Coheed & Cambria - The Afterman
The first was pretty good, and I've never been a Coheed & Cambria fan. :shifty:

Chic - I Want Your Love vs Maroon 5 (ft. Cardi B) - Girls Like You
Maroon 5... :eek:

[Miss Vicky]

Yep, gonna lose another nom.

Useless fact: The Folksmen and Spinal Tap are the same people.

[Miss Vicky]

ROUND 1 DAY 3

Quincy Jones - Razzamatazz vs José González - Slow Moves
This is catchy, I like it. The other one is too slow. I like slow songs, but usually I need to have some connection to the artist first. This doesn't work for me as an introduction to Gonzalez.

J.S. Ondara - Lebanon vs Waylon Jennings - Clyde
I really liked the Waylon song and probably would have voted for it against any of the other songs in this set. But I am in love with Ondara's voice. I saw him in concert last month when he opened for Lindsey Buckingham. Instant fan.

Fleetwood Mac - The Chain vs Lazy Eye - Silversun Pickups
I was hoping to like the other song because I don't want to vote for Fleetwood Mac. I really, really don't. I'm so angry with them. But I didn't like the other song (ugh that voice) and the combination of Buckingham's vocals and guitar and John McVie's killer bass line won't let me give the other even a protest vote.

Kennelklubben - Höghusmiljonär vs Elton John - I Want Love
In order for me to enjoy a song that isn't in English, there has to be something that really stands out about the music and I found this very forgettable. "I Want Love" isn't on my list of favorite Elton songs, but I do like it.

Gin Wigmore - Hey Ho vs Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
I am by no means a Metallica fan, but I hated Wigmore's voice.

[Sedai]

Quincy Jones - Razzamatazz vs José González - Slow Moves - Bad luck for Jose,who ends up against Mr. Jones.

J.S. Ondara - Lebanon vs Waylon Jennings - Clyde I liked both of these songs, believe it or not. As much a tend to not like country, Waylon is just too cool to not vote for. Tough choice, really.

Fleetwood Mac - The Chain vs Lazy Eye - Silversun Pickups - Love Fleetwood Mac! Even though Stevie's vibrato is annoying sometimes, the band's writing on this one is just too good to ignore. This is a classic track.

Kennelklubben - Höghusmiljonär vs Elton John - I Want Love - Dammit! I listened to the Kennelklubben track again. Now it is stuck in my head, and may be there for days. One of the catchiest songs I have heard in a long time. Not a big Elton fan, although he is clearly talented, and I do like some of his music.

Gin Wigmore - Hey Ho vs Metallica - Nothing Else Matters - Sick of that Metallica track. Voting for the slick song sung by the blonde with a giant gun. I really dig it quite a bit, actually.

[cat_sidhe]

Round 1 Day 3

Quincy Jones - Razzamatazz vs José González - Slow Moves
Love that Quincy Jones song. Patti Autin omg. José's introspective style gets a bit crushed in the match-up. :lol:

J.S. Ondara - Lebanon vs Waylon Jennings - Clyde
I have a bit of a hard time with country, but that Waylon Jennings song wasn't bad! I just preferred the first one.

Fleetwood Mac - The Chain vs Lazy Eye - Silversun Pickups
Quite tough. I think that's probably Fleetwood Mac's best song. Also liked the indie vibe with the second.

Kennelklubben - Höghusmiljonär vs Elton John - I Want Love
Haha, wasn't expecting that! Reminded me of Kent.

Gin Wigmore - Hey Ho vs Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Not a Metallica fan, but their early years are their best. I've heard that song too many times, though and Gin Wigmore was new...she sounds a bit like Duffy. :up:

[Captain Spaulding]

ROUND 1 - DAY 3

Quincy Jones - Razzamatazz vs José González - Slow Moves
("Slow Moves" isn't a bad listen, but it comes across way too sleepy when listening to it on the heels of such a vibrant, catchy track as "Razzamatazz.")

J.S. Ondara - Lebanon vs Waylon Jennings - Clyde
(Waylon is one of my favorite country artists, but I'm very impressed by the soulfulness of Ondara's voice.)

Fleetwood Mac - The Chain vs Lazy Eye - Silversun Pickups
(I like "The Chain" and a few other Fleetwood songs, but not enough to consider myself a fan. I wish the singer for Silversun Pickups didn't sound so much like a eunuch, but I like their Smashing Pumpkins-style sound.)

Kennelklubben - Höghusmiljonär vs Elton John - I Want Love
(That's a solid Elton John track, although the video didn't do it any favors since I've grown to hate RDJ. I also like the song I can't pronounce, but I feel like I need to be in a foreign club with strobe lights in order to fully enjoy it.)

Gin Wigmore - Hey Ho vs Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
(I'm sure I'd hear "Nothing Else Matters" within 30 minutes of switching the radio to any rock station, and I don't join these song tournaments to hear such played-out songs. One of the YouTube comments mentioned that "Hey Ho" has a James Bond quality to it, and I agree. I love the dangerous, sexy quality to the song/video, as well as Wigmore's voice (which does indeed sound a lot like Duffy, but I love Duffy's voice as well)).

[cat_sidhe]

I'd pay to hear Captain Spaulding trying to pronounce Höghusmiljonär.

[Sedai]

I'd be curious to see a translation of the Kennelklubben track. Alas, for now, I will just be content to listen to it another 16 times.

Elton John

Metallica.

[Sedai]

Pusha T - Santeria vs This Isn't Our Parade - Santigold Liked the more spacey vibe of the second track. First dude was a good rapper, but the music wasn't my cuppa.

Wintersun - Snow & Sorrow vs Motorpsycho - Every Dream Home - I am a huge Wintersun nut, but this was a harder choice than I thought it would be. Liked the second track a whole lot, but it kind of lost me after a while. Cool retro vibe, though. Pretty sure Wintersun doesn't have a shot here, but I will give them my vote regardless.

Come Pick Me Up - Ryan Adams vs Flatlinerz - Satanic Verses - Not a big fan of either, TBH. Went with the chill blues track.

Margo Price - Hands of Time vs Enigma - Sadeness - The second video was super quiet, so I had to search out a louder one. Meanwhile, I love me some Enigma! Brings me back to some good times in the early 90s with friends. :)

About Today - The National vs Kids See Ghosts - Freeee (Ghost Town, Pt. 2) - Digging the mood of the first track this morning.

[Miss Vicky]

ROUND 1 DAY 4

Pusha T - Santeria vs This Isn't Our Parade - Santigold
I didn't care for either of these but at least I didn't find this one grating.

Wintersun - Snow & Sorrow vs Motorpsycho - Every Dream Home
Ugh. 16.5 minutes of listening just to decide one match. Not overly fond of either but this one's closer to my tastes.

Come Pick Me Up - Ryan Adams vs Flatlinerz - Satanic Verses
I liked the harmonica parts at least.

Margo Price - Hands of Time vs Enigma - Sadeness
I didn't like Price's voice and Enigma has the benefit of nostalgia. I completely forgot about that song until I heard it again just now.

About Today - The National vs Kids See Ghosts - Freeee (Ghost Town, Pt. 2)
That repeated drawl on the word "free" was irritating, but otherwise I liked this. Surprising.

[Captain Spaulding]

ROUND 1 - DAY 4

Pusha T - Santeria vs This Isn't Our Parade - Santigold
(I try to be open-minded toward all types of music, but I admittedly struggle with a lot of rap and hip-hop. Maybe that's just because my friends listen to a lot of sh*t rap, because I actually really like "Santeria." I was disappointed that the song was so short. Those Spanish parts are indeed en fuego. The second song was a pleasant listen, but it got repetitive pretty fast.)

Wintersun - Snow & Sorrow vs Motorpsycho - Every Dream Home
(I like how the instrumentation of "Snow & Sorrow" evokes wintry imagery even before the lyrics kick in, but in the battle of 8+ minute songs, "Every Dream Home" did a better job of maintaining my interest with its multiple transitions.)

Come Pick Me Up - Ryan Adams vs Flatlinerz - Satanic Verses
(I was just saying that I struggle with rap, but "Satanic Verses" is the type of weird, creative, darkly comic, macabre sh*t I gravitate toward, regardless of genre. Meanwhile, Ryan Adams has a voice that makes me want to punch my speakers.)

Margo Price - Hands of Time vs Enigma - Sadeness
("Hands of Time" is just great songwriting. People sh*t on country, but no other genre of music features better storytelling. Margo Price is a recent discovery for me, but I've already heard enough to declare her one of the best modern country artists. She's got some Loretta Lynn in her. The Enigma song ain't bad, but it really only works for me if I'm sitting in a church pew seeing flashbacks of my slaughtered family before I head off to face their killer and his henchmen in a John Woo-style shootout with doves and sh*t.)

About Today - The National vs Kids See Ghosts - Freeee (Ghost Town, Pt. 2)
(I groaned when I saw Kanye's name on the second track. "Freeee" is certainly more sonically interesting than the first song, and if I was high right now I could possibly get into its spaced-out sound, but I'm not, so instead I just found the song a little obnoxious. "About Today" is perhaps too simplistic, but it succeeded in depressing me, and I think that was the point.)

Round 1 Day 4

Pusha T - Santeria vs This Isn't Our Parade - Santigold
Rap's kind of winning me over as of late, depending on its style, so I'm always on the lookout for something in that vein that I'd love. Liked this quite a bit, would be happy to hear it again. The second wasn't bad, it mainly just suffered from my flirtation with rap right now...

Wintersun - Snow & Sorrow vs Motorpsycho - Every Dream Home
Not an easy vote, but Motorpsycho take it for me. I didn't realise I picked a log-ish long song from them (they never seem that long to me because I love their ****), I just picked the one I couldn't get out of my head at the time. They write ridiculously catchy riffs. In my top 5 bands, easily.

Come Pick Me Up - Ryan Adams vs Flatlinerz - Satanic Verses
Straight up loved that Flatlinerz.

Margo Price - Hands of Time vs Enigma - Sadeness
Difficult one as I liked Margo Price's voice but not so much the song.
And yaaaas SANDRA! She may never be Maria Magdalena but the bitch slaaaaays as the voice of Enigma.

About Today - The National vs Kids See Ghosts - Freeee (Ghost Town, Pt. 2)
Trippy rap/hip hop is my favourite kind in the genre.

(I like how the instrumentation of "Snow & Sorrow" evokes wintry imagery even before the lyrics kick in, but in the battle of 8+ minute songs, "Every Dream Home" did a better job of maintaining my interest with its multiple transitions.)

Captain Spaulding

Funny story...I chose this WS track due to it's more accessible structure, as they often have tunes that feature a bunch of sections that usually don't repeat. A lot of their tunes are over 10 minutes, too, so I was restricted there. If you want to check out something with less repetition, check this song out. Fair warning - it's pretty long!

[Captain Spaulding]

Round 1 - Day 5

Lights - Peace Sign vs The Kingston Trio - El Matador
(Quite the contrast in styles. Liked both. Giving "El Matador" the edge since it sounds like something from a 50's western. Got me wanting to strap on my six-shooter and saddle up.)

Steve Perry - No Erasin' vs The Smiths - There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
(Steve Perry has an amazing voice, even if there's something inherently cheesy about the way he sings. Whether this is a brand new song or not, though, it already sounds dated. Don't love The Smiths or this particular song, but it gets my vote pretty easily.)

Whitey Morgan - Bourbon N Blues vs Figures - Jessie Reyez
(Liked "Figures" more than I expected, and I might actually listen to a couple more songs from Reyez, but this is still no contest. Love Whitey Morgan. Listening to him is like listening to a reincarnated Waylon Jennings. I sprout new chest hair every time I listen to him. This isn't one of his better songs, imo, but it still perfectly captures that outlaw spirit.)

Crowbar - Planets Collide vs Megadeth - Holy Wars - The Punishment Due
(This is a heavy ass match-up. Feeling the tempo of "Planets Collide" a little more at the moment. Love those sludgy, dirty riffs and the singer's voice perfectly complements the grimy feel of the music.)

She is Beautiful - Andrew W.K. vs J.S. Ondara - American Dream
(Not a fan of Andrew W.K.'s frat-boy rock and I remain impressed with Ondara's voice.)

[Miss Vicky]

Round 1 Day 5

Lights - Peace Sign vs The Kingston Trio - El Matador
Love The Kingston Trio and really didn't like the vocals in the other song. Easy choice.

Steve Perry - No Erasin'vs The Smiths - There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
I wasn't overly fond of either of these songs, but I gotta give it to Perry's voice.

Whitey Morgan - Bourbon N Blues vs Figures - Jessie Reyez
Sorry, but I hated Reyez's voice. Even if I didn't, I thought the other song was really great.

Crowbar - Planets Collide vs Megadeth - Holy Wars - The Punishment Due
I really didn't like either of these. I'm gonna give it to Crowbar for torturing me for a shorter period of time.

She is Beautiful - Andrew W.K. vs J.S. Ondara - American Dream
No contest. I'm in love with Ondara's voice and don't love anything about Andrew W.K.

[TheUsualSuspect]

I see another early exit for all my choices.

[Sedai]

Lights - Peace Sign vs The Kingston Trio - El Matador - Cute, sweet little Lights. I love me some Lights! Lights is an artist that some of my family members team up to take all the kids to see. Too many good memories to not pick her!

Steve Perry - No Erasin' vs The Smiths - There Is a Light That Never Goes Out - Not a huge fan of this Perry tune, but Morrissey rubs me the wrong way.

Whitey Morgan - Bourbon N Blues vs Figures - Jessie Reyez - Got me voting for another country song... Barely made it through the second one.

Crowbar - Planets Collide vs Megadeth - Holy Wars - The Punishment Due **** luck, I guess. If the Crowbar track was against any of the other songs in this round, I probably would have voted for it. Alas, Holy Wars is one of the best metal tracks of all time. Bask in its glory!

She is Beautiful - Andrew W.K. vs J.S. Ondara - American Dream - I'm a metal guy through and through, but I just couldn't get into the first track. Ondara is clearly an immense talent.

[jiraffejustin]

Lights - Peace Sign vs The Kingston Trio - El Matador - Easy choice, but Lights looks like somebody... but who? I can't tell if she looks like a person I know or a bunch of people I know.

Steve Perry - No Erasin' vs The Smiths - There Is a Light That Never Goes Out

Whitey Morgan - Bourbon N Blues vs Figures - Jessie Reyez

Crowbar - Planets Collide vs Megadeth - Holy Wars - The Punishment Due - Crowbar vs Megadeth? This sounds like either a 1980's Puerto Rican tag team match where both teams bleed in the crowd for about 15 minutes or a 1990's WCW Thunder midcard match. Sorry for the oddly specific pro wrestling reference.
She is Beautiful - Andrew W.K. vs J.S. Ondara - American Dream - I find W.K.'s "frat-boy rock" to be kinda charming in a dumb way. I don't know why, but it feels "dumb guy sweet". Still doesn't get my vote, because this other track, I'm digging.

[cat_sidhe]

Round 1 Day 5

Lights - Peace Sign vs The Kingston Trio - El Matador
The first isn't my kind of thing.

Steve Perry - No Erasin' vs The Smiths - There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
I like some Journey songs, but am not a fan of Steve Perry's solo work. Decent Smiths song....

Whitey Morgan - Bourbon N Blues vs Figures - Jessie Reyez
I have a bit of a tough time with country, and I've no idea how describe what kind of country appeals to me. The second reminded me of someone else. Can't put my finger on it though...

Crowbar - Planets Collide vs Megadeth - Holy Wars - The Punishment Due
Ooooh tough one as I'm rather partial to Crowbar with their severely constipated vocals, but that's one of the really good Megadeth songs. Will come back to this as I'll have to listen to them back to back a couple of times to decide. *edit: it went to Crowbar

She is Beautiful - Andrew W.K. vs J.S. Ondara - American Dream
I like this J.S. Ondara fellow...

Conway Twitty - She Needs Someone to Hold Her (When She Cries) vs Jumper - Third Eye Blind Not a fan of either. The second track was slightly less annoying.

4:AM - Our Lady Peace vs Kite - True Colors Vocal in the first track was rough stuff. Kite video is weird af, but the song is awesome.

Beady Belle - Skin Deep vs Looking For The Magic - Dwight Twilley Band Actually, I like the Beady Belle song...

Ghost - Dance Macabre vs Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand Cave wins this, but my vote goes to Ghost, just to mix it up a little.

Burn The Witch - Radiohead vs Ensiferum - Token of Time Throwing a vote at Ensiferum, even though they will get slaughtered by Radiohead...

Round 1 Day 6

Conway Twitty - She Needs Someone to Hold Her (When She Cries) vs Jumper - Third Eye Blind
I don't care at all for Twitty, but I can't stand the voice of TEB's singer.

4:AM - Our Lady Peace vs Kite - True Colors
I didn't like the voice in the first one. This was more interesting and I enjoyed it.

Beady Belle - Skin Deep vs Looking For The Magic - Dwight Twilley Band
Another voice I disliked vs one I'm apathetic to. Apathy gets the vote.

Ghost - Dance Macabre vs Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand
I didn't like either but the second was more interesting.

Burn The Witch - Radiohead vs Ensiferum - Token of Time
I don't like Radiohead and I didn't like this song. I was all set to vote against it but then I played the other song and the screaming happened. Nope.

[Captain Spaulding]

Round 1 - Day 6

Conway Twitty - She Needs Someone to Hold Her (When She Cries) vs Jumper - Third Eye Blind
("Jumper" carries with it a smidgen of nostalgia since I remember hearing this song on the radio seemingly every day on the way home from school back in the 90's. Ten-year-old me would have voted for it, but adult me much prefers the classic country sound of Conway Twitty.)

4:AM - Our Lady Peace vs Kite - True Colors
(Man, that first song was excruciating. Somebody please punch that singer in the throat. "True Colors" was strange and entrancing. I liked it a lot.)

Beady Belle - Skin Deep vs Looking For The Magic - Dwight Twilley Band
(Rarely am I a fan of songs that involve speaking in place of singing. "Skin Deep" is no exception. Not in love with the second song, but it had a low bar to hurdle.)

Ghost - Dance Macabre vs Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand
(Best match-up by far. I've considered nominating "Dance Macabre" in the past. Fun wins over spooky this time, although I could easily vote the other way on a different day.)

Burn The Witch - Radiohead vs Ensiferum - Token of Time
(I find Radiohead insanely overrated. "Token of Time" is killer. Love the dichotomy of power metal with folksy underpinnings. Those riffs will melt your face.)

[Sedai]

(I find Radiohead insanely overrated. "Token of Time" is killer. Love the dichotomy of power metal with folksy underpinnings. Those riffs will melt your face.)

If you like Token of Time, check out the entire record, which just their self-titled, Ensiferum. Plenty of awesome riffs throughout. That might be my favorite folk-metal record of all time.

[cat_sidhe]

Round 1 Day 6

Conway Twitty - She Needs Someone to Hold Her (When She Cries) vs Jumper - Third Eye Blind
Neither was my kind of thing. The first reminded me of Family Guy, so it got my vote.

4:AM - Our Lady Peace vs Kite - True Colors
Not fond of either, but the second caught more of my interest.

Beady Belle - Skin Deep vs Looking For The Magic - Dwight Twilley Band
Preferred the sexiness of the first.

Ghost - Dance Macabre vs Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand
Tough one, particularly fond of Ghost (yeah got stories about them :lol:). That's not one of their best (imo) but I do like it. Not more than Red Right Hand ...

Burn The Witch - Radiohead vs Ensiferum - Token of Time
Both ok songs. Prefer the trippy production on Radiohead.

Round 1 Day7

Slayer - Spill the Blood vs Kool & The Gang - Summer Madness
I'm not overly fond of this, but the other song was just a little too chill for me.

Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street vs Warren Zevon - Ain't That Pretty At All
That's a really good Dylan song, but I prefer Zevon.

Lindsey Buckingham - D.W. Suite vs Bob Dylan - Ballad of Hollis Brown
Another really good Dylan song and one I don't think I'd heard before, but it's not Lindsey Buckingham.

Lady Gaga (ft. Bradley Cooper) - Shallow vs Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - Her Strut
I really don't like Bradley Cooper and am not particularly fond of Gaga. This song did nothing to change that opinion. On the other hand, I love Seger.

Shivaree - Goodnight Moon vs Anja Garbarek - Dizzy with Wonder
Parts of the vocals of Goodnight Moon made me think of Britney Spears - that's not a good thing. I did like the music though and enjoyed it more overall than the other song.

[cat_sidhe]

Round 1 Day 7

Slayer - Spill the Blood vs Kool & The Gang - Summer Madness
Pleasantly surprised by this choice of Slayer song. It's usually Dead Skin Mask. But that extended mix of that Kool & the Gang song is amazing on headphones, which is how I'm listening to this round's day.

Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street vs Warren Zevon - Ain't That Pretty At All
Bob Dylan's one of those artists I think is a great songwriter but his voice, damn. Granted, this isn't his most nasal. The second I'd never heard before, and it's ok.

Lindsey Buckingham - D.W. Suitevs Bob Dylan - Ballad of Hollis Brown
Ok this was tought because that's a weird little tune from Lindsey Buckingham, and I like weird.. But WOW, that's probably the one time I'm impressed with Bob Dylan as is (as in, not being covered by someone else). I think it has to do with how aggressively he's strumming and how hard he's belting it. That's a turn on.

Lady Gaga (ft. Bradley Cooper) - Shallow vs Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - Her Strut
The first was ok but didn't do anything for me. The second was pretty bitchin'.

Shivaree - Goodnight Moon vs Anja Garbarek - Dizzy with Wonder
Tough match, I like both. Have to vote for the second as it's an earworm I'm hoping to exorcise. I'd listen to more of the second, so no hate here. :)

[Sedai]

Slayer - Spill the Blood vs Kool & The Gang - Summer Madness - Second track was a bit boring. Not a Slayer fan, but they get the vote this round.

Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street vs Warren Zevon - Ain't That Pretty At All - Man, I just can't get past Dylan's voice, like, ever. Zevon gets the vote.

Lindsey Buckingham - D.W. Suite vs Bob Dylan - Ballad of Hollis Brown - Arg, More Dylan!

Lady Gaga (ft. Bradley Cooper) - Shallow vs Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - Her Strut - When I saw the match-up, I chuckled and figured Seger was an easy win. He still wins, but man, I almost voted for the other track - Gaga has a killer voice. Her strut is a better tune, though.

Shivaree - Goodnight Moon vs Anja Garbarek - Dizzy with Wonder - Liked both, but liked the second more.

Slayer - Spill the Blood vs Kool & The Gang - Summer Madness
(Went back and forth with my vote, but "Summer Madness" is ultimately just too smooth.)

Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street vs Warren Zevon - Ain't That Pretty At All
(Not one of my favorite Dylan tracks, but I still like it far more than the competition.)

Lindsey Buckingham - D.W. Suite vs Bob Dylan - Ballad of Hollis Brown
(That Buckingham song was . . . interesting. Not really sure what I thought of it, to be honest.)

Lady Gaga (ft. Bradley Cooper) - Shallow vs Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - Her Strut
(I've yet to see the movie, but so far I've liked what I've heard from the soundtrack. Been a fan of Gaga since she first exploded onto the scene, and Cooper has a better voice than I would've expected. "Her Strut" is just a better overall song, though.)

Shivaree - Goodnight Moon vs Anja Garbarek - Dizzy with Wonder
(The stop-start rhythm of "Dizzy with Wonder" grew on me as it went along, but I still prefer the slinky, sexy quality of "Goodnight Moon.")

ROUND 2 - DAY 1

(Sticking with my own nom even though I really enjoy that Twitty song.)

Moloko - Forever More vs Kids See Ghosts - Freeee (Ghost Town, Pt. 2)
(Still prefer the first minute of "Forever More" over what follows, but "Freee" remains just as irritating on a second listen.)

Kite - True Colors vs Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand
("True Colors" is one of my favorite discoveries of this tournament. I've listened to it several times now since first hearing it. Mesmerizing song.)

Quincy Jones - Razzamatazz vs The Smiths - There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
(I think it's impossible to keep the body from grooving to "Razzamatazz.")

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters vs Shivaree - Goodnight Moon
(Outside of this tournament I definitely prefer "Nothing Else Matters," but going to show my nom some love before it gets slaughtered.)

Pusha T - Santeria vs Megadeth - Holy Wars - The Punishment Due
(Not really a fan of Megadeth, but this is one of their finer moments.)

I really don't like either of these songs in this last match. I'm giving it to Santeria only because it's less than half the length of the other song.

Day 2 Round 2

Enigma - Sadeness vs The Glorious Sons - Heavy
Both good songs, but this one suits my current mood more.

Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street vs Chic - I Want Your Love
Like both, but am needing something upbeat right now so I'm giving it to the disco song.

Elton John - I Want Love vs The Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn't Want to be Like You
Both good, but the Parsons one is much catchier.

The Steel Woods - Straw in the Wind vs J.S. Ondara - Lebanon
The Steel Woods one is very good, but I'm still in love with Ondara's voice.

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - Her Strut vs Rotting Christ - Devadevam
Classic Rock vs. Metal. As if I'd vote any other way.

Bob Dylan - Ballad of Hollis Brown vs Fleetwood Mac - The Chain
Screw Fleetwood Mac. Or, more specifically, screw Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, and both McVies. Backstabbing muthaf...

Too cool to not get my vote this round.

Weird stuff left!

If I could chose the winner, it would be “Enigma - Sadeness.”

I remember it from the Paul Mercurio spanking scene in Exit to Eden. I’ve thought about including it in a Song Tournament before (and maybe I did?), but didn’t expect it to go far. I have good taste.

My runner up song would be “Kool & The Gang - Summer Madness.”

That would be a strange Final Two for one of these things.

THE SEMIS

The Steel Woods - Straw in the Wind vs Quincy Jones - Razzamatazz
("Razzamatazz" is a fun song, but of course I'm voting my own nomination into the finals. I'm happy that non-country fans were able to appreciate it.)

Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street vs The Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn't Want to be Like You
(When I hear The Alan Parsons Project, I primarily think of the joke in Austin Powers, but this song proved to be the biggest ear-worm in the tournament. Listening to it again right now, which means I'll be randomly singing it for the next two days. Sorry, Dylan.)

It bugs me that we never had a winner to this tournament.

Current tally:

The Steel Woods - Straw in the Wind (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vpbD_c5TXuA) (3 votes)

The Alan Parson Project - I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ONoi86Zyj3k) (2 votes)


mojofilter and TheUsualSuspect never voted, so maybe they can finally put an end to this limbo.

Thanks for trying to help, John Connor, but only participants in the tournament can vote. Due to this error in judgement, a T-1000 has been dispatched to your location. My apologies.
