It's strange how drastically different the 1980's and 1990's can feel between them.

At least for me.

You guys stick with the same set of songs from the beginning?

ROUND 1, PART 1

1. Tangerine Dream - Virtually Fields vs. DMX - Party Up-Don't care much for instrumentals or rap. The second is shorter and I liked it a little more.

2. Matchbox 20 - Push vs. PJ Harvey - Down by the Water-Thought both were ok.

3. 2pac & Snoop Dogg - 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted vs. Biggie Smalls - Hypnotize-Wouldn't listen to either on my own.

4. House of Pain - Jump Around vs. The Prodigy "No Good (Start the Dance)"-I think the first is goofy now, but I saw them when they first came out and liked them then.

5. Sublime-April 26, 1992 vs. Pantera - Cemetery Gates-I've nominated the first before and it's one of my favorite songs. I must be alone because it hasn't won a match yet.

6. Beastie Boys - Finger Lickin' Good vs. Snow - Informer-I don't like the first, but I dislike the second.

7. Edwyn Collins-A Girl Like You vs. Lindsey Buckingham - Street of Dreams-Both good, and actually I might vote for the second if I knew it better.

8. Natalie Imbruglia "Torn" vs. Garbage - Stupid Girl-Liked both moderately.

1. Tangerine Dream - Virtually Fields vs. DMX - Party Up
DMX is virtually the winner here

2. Matchbox 20 - Push vs. PJ Harvey - Down by the Water
Never cared for PJ. Push is one of my favorite 90's hits

3. 2pac & Snoop Dogg - 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted vs. Biggie Smalls - Hypnotize
Tough match, but in the end 2pac and Snoop outweigh Biggie (no pun intended). West Coast wins

4. House of Pain - Jump Around vs. The Prodigy "No Good (Start the Dance)"
Jump Around will be tough to beat

5. Sublime-April 26, 1992 vs. Pantera - Cemetery Gates
Don't care for either song

6. Beastie Boys - Finger Lickin' Good vs. Snow - Informer
A biggie boom boom down

7. Edwyn Collins-A Girl Like You vs. Lindsey Buckingham - Street of Dreams
First one was from Empire Records, one of my favorite 90's movies

8. Natalie Imbruglia "Torn" vs. Garbage - Stupid Girl
Tough match, but Torn gives me happier memories

Wow. I see my humour goes down here like a lead balloon.

ROUND 1, PART 1

1. Tangerine Dream - Virtually Fields vs. DMX - Party Up
Tangerine Dreams gets it. Because they're Tangerine Dream.

2. Matchbox 20 - Push vs. PJ Harvey - Down by the Water
Don't like Matchbox 20. Easy vote.

3. 2pac & Snoop Dogg - 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted vs. Biggie Smalls - Hypnotize
Coin toss for this. Not the biggest rap fan in the world. If I listen to rap, it's Kool Keith, Dr Octagon, Dälek etc. Not the super famous stuff.

4. House of Pain - Jump Around vs. The Prodigy "No Good (Start the Dance)"

5. Sublime-April 26, 1992 vs. Pantera - Cemetery Gates
Not a Pantera fan, but the I didn't like that Sublime song at all.

6. Beastie Boys - Finger Lickin' Good vs. Snow - Informer
By a fraction.

7. Edwyn Collins-A Girl Like You vs. Lindsey Buckingham - Street of Dreams
Hey, forgot all about this song. Nice to hear it again! It gets my vote.

8. Natalie Imbruglia "Torn" vs. Garbage - Stupid Girl
Uuuuugh I can't stand that Natalie Imbruglia song.

ROUND 1, PART 2

1. Björk - Violently Happy vs. Paula Cole - Where Have All the Cowboys Gone
Björk any time. Every time.

2. Prince & The New Power Generation - Diamonds And Pearls vs.
Blind Justice - Creepshow
Never cared for that Prince song. Never heard the other before, so a pleasant surprise vote.

3. Alannah Myles "Black Velvet" vs. Tom Petty - You Don't Know How It Feels
I guess I don't like Tom Petty that much. Black Velvet's a good song, so it's not a hate vote.

4. Ice Cube - It Was a Good Day vs. The Cure - Friday I'm in Love
Love The Cure.

5. Mos Def - Mathematics vs. Coolio - Gangster's Paradise
Yeah, Mos Def's always going to get my vote. I've got that album, it's really good. And he's cool.

6. SNAP - Rhythm is a Dancer vs. 2 Unlimited - Get Ready for This
Don't like either. Coin toss.

7. The Notorious B.I.G. - Mo Money Mo Problems vs. The Chemical Brothers "Setting Sun"


8. Stabbing Westward - Shame vs. Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name
RATM - Kind of an anthem at the time.

ROUND 1, PART 2

1. Björk - Violently Happy vs. Paula Cole - Where Have All the Cowboys Gone-Both are good but not my type.

2. Prince & The New Power Generation - Diamonds And Pearls vs.
Blind Justice - Creepshow-I haven't really liked a Prince song since Raspberry Beret, but he has a huge edge in talent in this match.

3. Alannah Myles "Black Velvet" vs. Tom Petty - You Don't Know How It Feels-Very good match.

4. Ice Cube - It Was a Good Day vs. The Cure - Friday I'm in Love-I do like the rap song a little though.

5. Mos Def - Mathematics vs. Coolio - Gangster's Paradise-Don't care for either. I had never heard the first before so it was less annoying.

6. SNAP - Rhythm is a Dancer vs. 2 Unlimited - Get Ready for This-Like both, and used to listen to both in my club days.

7. The Notorious B.I.G. - Mo Money Mo Problems vs. The Chemical Brothers "Setting Sun"-Easy call for my taste.

8. Stabbing Westward - Shame vs. Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name-Both are very good. We used to listen to the second on our way out to raise hell, and I saw Rage do a show with House of Pain from the last round.
