ROUND 1 DAY 4

James Brown - The Boss VS. Outer Limits Recordings -Julie
I wasn't really into the second


Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse Of The Heart VS. Bullet For My Valentine - Hearts Burst Into Fire
That first song will always give me the shivers. Such a powerful song


Air Supply - All Out Of Love VS. Horslips - Trouble with a Capital T
Love me some Air Supply


Plastic Ono Band - Give Peace a Chance VS. Our Lady Peace - Superman's Dead
Surprisingly, I'm not a big fan of that Lennon song, but the second did not peak my interest


Rammstein - Du Hast VS. Beck - I've got the feeling (cover)
I like that Beck cover

Flume - Never Be Like You (ft. Kai) VS. Alice in Chains - Check My Brain
No offense to AIC, but that Flume song is one of the modern EDM songs that I enjoy


Lights - Portal VS. Anet - Tortured
Both are beautiful songs in their own right. I went with the second because the singer is hot and seems like a badass

Trouble - The Wolf VS. Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
No contest. Elton for the win

Porcupine Tree - Trains VS. Erykah Badu - Didn't Cha Know
Both were cool, but the first is more up my alley


T.Rex - Get It On VS. Strawberry Alarm Clock - Rainy Day Mushroom Pillows

Not really into the Strawberry thing


Beach Boys - I Get Around VS. Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch - Good Vibrations
I Get Around is overplayed. Good Vibrations can never be overplayed enough

Oasis - Live Forever VS. EPMD - Boon Dox
Oasis FTW


Caravan - in the land of grey and pink VS. John Waite - Missing You
Missing You never gets old



Carseat Headrest - Drugs With Friends VS. Billy Talent - Turn Your Back
The first was a cool little number and the video was unique


Ace Of Spades - Motorhead VS. Sacre Bleu - Broken Promises
The second is the kinda rock n roll that turns me on



My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow VS. Iron Maiden - Can I Play With Madness
80's hair rock baby!

ROUND 1 DAY 5

Palome Faith - New York VS. Deadbolt - Tijuana Hit Squad

The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love VS. Martika - Toy Soldiers
I've always liked Toy Soldiers. Such a beautiful and sad song.

Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror VS. Hel - Mörker
Never been MJ fan so while it's one his better songs it can't handle Hel's catchy tunes.

ZYX - Bad Manners VS. Zhou Xuan - Blooming Flowers and the Full Moon

Billy Talent - River Below VS. Elvis Costello - Oliver's Army

Digits - Lost Dream VS. Barenaked Ladies - One Week
Hated both.

The Three Degrees-When Will I See You Again VS. The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown - Fire
Voted with the assumption that the link was wrong and the song title correct.

Rush - YYZ VS. Rage Against The Machine - Fistfull of Steel
One of the best instrumentals ever.

Kokushoku Elegy - Kafun Hanzai VS. The Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy)

Sick Puppies - You're Going Down VS. Queensryche - Empire

Rush - Marathon VS. Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground

Isaac Hayes - Shaft VS. Bob Dylan - Tangled Up in Blue
Both are good. Lots of good tunes in old blaxploitation films so I'll give my vote to them.

Lonesome Wyatt and Rachel Brooke - Don't Leave Me VS. 2NE1 - Come Back Home

The Kinks - Strangers VS. Linkin Park - What I've Done

Katatonia - My Twin VS. Frank Zappa - Why Does it Hurt When I Pee?

Slayer - Live Undead VS. Linda Ronstandt - Por Un Amor
Possibly the best Slayer song. Drumming on this is awesome.

@mojofilter

There something funny with the links.

The Three Degrees-When Will I See You Again VS. The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown - Fire

The link for the latter takes me to Christina Aguilera's Dirrty. Which song it's supposed to be?

EDIT: Also 2NE1 - Come Back Home links to Le Tigre's TKO. Which is it?

ROUND 1 DAY 5

Palome Faith - New York VS. Deadbolt - Tijuana Hit Squad
The first was ok, but the second more my kind of thing.


The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love VS. Martika - Toy Soldiers
Not really sure what to say. I feel the second more.


Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror VS. Hel - Mörker
Wow, hadn't heard the second before, but it's like it was speaking to me of everyone, since it's in Swedish. Men tyvärr...inte sĺ förtjust i punk.


ZYX - Bad Manners VS. Zhou Xuan - Blooming Flowers and the Full Moon
The first was ok. The second was absolutely frightening.


Billy Talent - River Below VS. Elvis Costello - Oliver's Army
This guy again? I don't really don't like this...what I refer to as college sound, but I really don't like that Elvis Costello song.


Digits - Lost Dream VS. Barenaked Ladies - One Week
Ok this was hard because I liked the music of the first, but the lyrics of the second. They made me laugh, and actually...**** it. I'm laughing too hard. And that's literally what I've been trying to do to everyone else this tournament...


The Three Degrees-When Will I See You Again VS. The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown - Fire
Easy vote here.


Rush - YYZ VS. Rage Against The Machine - Fistfull of Steel
**** YEAH A RUSH CLASSSIIIIC, difficult as I like RATM. BUT. I've seen Rush do this live. Can't forget that.


Kokushoku Elegy - Kafun Hanzai VS. The Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy)
The first one was another one in the oh nooo, they were doing so well until the vocals kicked in category.


Sick Puppies - You're Going Down VS. Queensryche - Empire
HOLY ****, the first band totally ripped off the Kinks in their verses. A Well Respected Man, anyone?


Rush - Marathon VS. Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground
Yeah, that's not the best Rush song.

Isaac Hayes - Shaft VS. Bob Dylan - Tangled Up in Blue
King of soul over king of whiners any time.

Lonesome Wyatt and Rachel Brooke - Don't Leave Me VS. 2NE1 - Come Back Home
The first is kind of ****ed up. The second was ok. I tend to lean towards the ****ed up, sound wise.

The Kinks - Strangers VS. Linkin Park - What I've Done
Oh HAI STRANGERS, after being ripped off by a modern band.

Katatonia - My Twin VS. Frank Zappa - Why Does it Hurt When I Pee?
This was hard. I ADORE ADORE ADORE Frank Zappa. But I've cried a few times to My Twin. And it still hurts to listen to today, and was another getoutamyhead nomination. Told ya I was full of it this tournament. Pun intended.

Slayer - Live Undead VS. Linda Ronstandt - Por Un Amor
****in'. SLAYER!

ROUND 1, DAY 5

1. Deadbolt - Tijuana Hit Squad

2. The Buzzcocks

3. Man in the Mirror

4. ZYX - Bad Manners

5. Elvis Costello - Oliver’s Army

6. Barenaked Ladies - One Week

7. Three Degrees (“Fire” is a former runner up)

8. Rage Against the Machine

9. The Beatles

10. Queensryche

11. Sneaker Pimps

12. Isaac Hayes

13. Lonesome Wyatt

14. The Kinks - Strangers

15. Katatonia - My Twin

16. Linda Ronstandt

Paloma Faith - New York VS. Deadbolt - Tijuana Hit Squad Tough to choose, right off the bat. I liked both of these in their own way. I will go with the slightly more Lynchian Deadbolt tune.

Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love VS. Martika - Toy Soldiers Easy choice here. Martika was a silly lil git, Buzzcocks are the ****!

Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror VS. Hel - Mörker I tried to get into the Hel track, but just wasn't feeling it.

ZYX - Bad Manners VS. Zhou Xuan - Blooming Flowers and the Full Moon Both of these were pretty rough to get through!

Billy Talent - River Below VS. Elvis Costello - Oliver's Army Did'nae like this Billy Talent song as much as the last one.

Digits - Lost Dream VS. Barenaked Ladies - One Week Not a fan of Barenaked Ladies...

The Three Degrees-When Will I See You Again VS. The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown - Fire Starting to realize how much I dislike organ.

Rush - YYZ VS. Rage Against The Machine - Fistfull of Steel Classic Rush tune wins. Can't stand Zack de la Rocha.

Kokushoku Elegy - Kafun Hanzai VS. The Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy) Easy Choice

Sick Puppies - You're Going Down VS. Queensryche - Empire I like both bands, but Empire is a stellar QR tune that is still quite valid today...

Rush - Marathon VS. Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground One of my favorite Rush songs of all time.

Isaac Hayes - Shaft VS. Bob Dylan - Tangled Up in Blue Shaft!

Lonesome Wyatt and Rachel Brooke - Don't Leave Me VS. 2NE1 - Come Back Home Not a huge fan of either, but the beat won me out in the end...

The Kinks - Strangers VS. Linkin Park - What I've Done I do like some Linkin Park, but this tune, not so much...

Katatonia - My Twin VS. Frank Zappa - Why Does it Hurt When I Pee? The same reason it hurts when i listen to Frank Zappa!

Slayer - Live Undead VS. Linda Ronstandt - Por Un Amor Old school Slayer tune wins. Slayer's lead guitar playing is total joke (Kerry King famously doesn't understand that music uses keys), so those sections of the track are laughably bad. The rest of the song is pretty bad ass though, especially Dave Lombardo's drumming. Never liked Linda Ronstadt.

Sick Puppies is life remind me of my high school days

*Falls over*

@mojofilter and everyone else...

Correct link. Please disregard the TKO link, that was an error in my original post which I had updated but I guess it wasn't marked.

2NE1 - Come Back Home

Dude. You know it's Tom Sawyer, right? HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW it's TOm SAWYER, YYZ, Spirit of Radio, most of Hemispheres, and like...3 songs off Snakes and Ladders.
