ROUND 1 - DAY 4
Suede - Animal Nitrate vs Container 47 - Razor End Falling
Suede isn't my type of music but at least they do seem to have a clear vision while Container 47's song is just a huge monotonous lump.
Patti Smith - Nine vs Massive Attack - Safe From Harm
Both are pretty decent but I don't like those spoken parts in MA so my vote goes to Patti.
16 horsepower - Coal Black Horses vs Goldie - Inner City Life
Didn't like either that much but Goldie's background sounds like it's having a spasm.
Nogizaka46 - Influenza vs All Them Witches - Right Hand
Both are kinda fine but first is a tad too generic.
Nordman - Vandraren vs X Japan - Week End
I've tried to listen X Japan few times before but never got into it. Vandraren on the other hand is great folk-pop song.
Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts vs Gyptian - Hold You
Second one has some good stuff in it, first one doesn't.
G-Schmitt - LSD vs Ihsahn - Mass Darkness
Ihsahn is one the great talents that emerged from the early Norwegian black metal scene. LSD, while decent, can't beat great music.
Björk - Human Behaviour vs The Almanacs - Side by Side
First three Björk albums are some of the best pop albums ever. The other one is horrible.

Not a big fan of Brett's whine but I do like AN as a song, I lurve 'monotonous lumps' though
Patti Smith - Nine vs Massive Attack - Safe From Harm

ROUND 1 - DAY 4
Suede - Animal Nitrate vs Container 47 - Razor End Falling
Dug the second. It reminded me a bit of Chrome.
Patti Smith - Nine vs Massive Attack - Safe From Harm
Bother great songs, but the edge goes to Patti this time.
16 horsepower - Coal Black Horses vs Goldie - Inner City Life
That Goldie track brings back some memories of driving the city outskirts at night...awesome ****. But I love the energy of 16 Horsepower. It kinda does something to me.
Nogizaka46 - Influenza vs All Them Witches - Right Hand
I love the second song. It's in my current loop of "must hear every day" songs at the moment.
Nordman - Vandraren vs X Japan - Week End
Never liked Nordman.
Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts vs Gyptian - Hold You
The first was a little more my kinda thing than the second.
G-Schmitt - LSD vs Ihsahn - Mass Darkness
Really enjoy a bit of Ihsahn. I liked the first one too.
Björk - Human Behaviour vs The Almanacs - Side by Side
I liked the creepiness of the second, but I love Björk...

This is a tough match because I like both, but the edge goes to Zed Yago because they're obscure, European, and from the '80s.

As one of the robots is having as much success as anyone in this tourney thus far it's probably a good time to explain how they selected their nominations .... basically each one Tatty (Tacitus), mark (mark f) and steve (Yoda) just worked backwards through the What Are You Listening To While You're Mofoin' It thread on the day this thread was started and 'borrowed' the first eight tracks at the top of each post put up by each of those Mofos that fit the tournament criteria (<10 mins).
Why those particular three players you may ask? Purely because they all had plenty of posts in that thread and I thought they would each likely see the amusing side of their songs being used in such a way (or in other words, not throw a snot-fit about it).
Just in case any of you were wondering.

And just realised I've actually told a porky or two there .... with Tatty's The Fall nomination it's not the top one but actually the second song from that post ('cos he remarked it was his fav Fall track so it felt more 'right' to use that one instead) and Yods doesn't have many posts in that thread at all but after originally doing mark and Tatty it just struck me as being highly amusing if I was to do the same for Our Glorious Leader as well
The whole process amused me anyway
