SONG TOURNAMENT XXX

Tools    





ROUND 1 DAY 6

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris VS. Propaganda - Dr. Mabuse-That first is the type of music I usually hate, but I kind of liked that song.

Belouis Some - Imagination VS. Toni Harper - Lady Lonely-The second is certainly good, but the other sounds like that gay 80's crap I like.

Kid Rock - American Badass VS. Nagisa ni Te - me, on the beach-The other wasn't bad either.

Charles Trenet - La Mer VS. Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See-Again liked both. I can imagine listening to the first in some East Boston bookie bar, and pretending it was in Italian.

The Who-Athena VS. DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak-Hey, I also love Theresa Russell.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside VS. DragonForce - Heroes of Our Time-I dig The Peppers when they're on, and that's one of those times.

Depeche Mode - It's No Good VS. Devilskin - Never See The Light-Not generally a fan of Depeche Mode, but that wasn't bad. I'm just a sucker for female rockers.

The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright VS. Whitewoods - Beachwalk-I know that first song, and I like it. The other was cool too.

HOME - Resonance VS. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Rainbow Connection-Lyrics are important to me.

John Morris - The Elephant Man Theme VS. Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction-See the last match.

Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson and Clover VS. Blaze Foley - Election Day-Have always been a fan of the first. Too bad because the other was quite good.

Frank and Moon Zappa - Valley Girl VS. David Bowie - Space Oddity-Surprised this hasn't won before.

Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers VS. blink-182 - The Rock Show-Hey that first song was awesome.

The Supremes - Come See About Me VS. Avatarium - The Starless Sleep-Not one of my biggest Motown favorites but still a fan.

Rasputina - The Olde Headboard VS. Band of Skulls - Wanderluster-That first was weird in the right way.

Kim Wilde - You Came VS. Joy Division - Dead Souls-So that's Chyp's band. Yea they're good.

Charlie - Spacer Woman VS. The Stooges - Down On The Street-This was a pretty easy call.

Shinedown - Second Chance VS. Depeche Mode - Everything Counts-I just liked the first a little more.

Linx - Intuition VS. Anderson Paak - Comedown-I wanted to like the first more than I did, and I really liked the second.

Crystal Fighters - Follow VS. J. Geils Band - Centerfold-Played out long ago but still very nostalgic.

Madonna - Live To Tell VS. Lissie - Blood and Muscle-F**king blowout!

Lovage - Book of the Month VS. Pink Floyd-Free Four-Thought the first was a little lifeless.

Hell - Darkhangel VS. Thin Lizzy - Out in the Fields-I used to feel the opposite, but now I wish these tourneys had more live vision.

Kid Ink - Cali' Dreamin' VS. Tom Waits - Goin' Out West-How dare you mess with one of my favorite songs!

ROUND 1 DAY 6

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris VS. Propaganda - Dr. Mabuse - Hadn't heard the second one before, but I thought it was ok. Sounds like something I might get to like with repeated listens. The first is just one of those songs which hit me one day and never left.


Belouis Some - Imagination VS. Toni Harper - Lady Lonely - The second is lovely. I wish it was against something I didn't care for, but I've only just rediscovered the first.


Kid Rock - American Badass VS. Nagisa ni Te - me, on the beach - Not a big Kid Rock fan and I always think Undertaker when I hear this, but nonetheless, I prefer it to the second, as pleasant and inoffensive as it was.


Charles Trenet - La Mer VS. Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See - Both were ok, it's probably just a familiarity with the first which gets it past.


The Who-Athena VS. DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak - Never the biggest fan of The Who and this isn't one which grabs me.


Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside VS. DragonForce - Heroes of Our Time - You know how the second one isn't RHCP? Yeah, that's a good thing.


Depeche Mode - It's No Good VS. Devilskin - Never See The Light - Going with my own pick here. For that bassline intro if nothing else.


The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright VS. Whitewoods - Beachwalk - The wavy sound on the second annoyed me too much.


HOME - Resonance VS. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Rainbow Connection - It's not great, but it's a lot better than the first to me.


John Morris - The Elephant Man Theme VS. Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction - I've not heard Symphony Of Destruction in years. Great song.


Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson and Clover VS. Blaze Foley - Election Day - Always liked this song.


Frank and Moon Zappa - Valley Girl VS. David Bowie - Space Oddity - OK, but it's not Space Oddity, is it?


Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers VS. blink-182 - The Rock Show - I don't really like blink 182.


The Supremes - Come See About Me VS. Avatarium - The Starless Sleep - Just prefer it.


Rasputina - The Olde Headboard VS. Band of Skulls - Wanderluster - Quite liked the first. Second didn't do much for me.


Kim Wilde - You Came VS. Joy Division - Dead Souls - Not a big Joy Division fan and I've always like Kim's voice.


I'll come back and do the rest.


Charlie - Spacer Woman VS. The Stooges - Down On The Street - A pretty easy win. Just more my kind of thing.


Shinedown - Second Chance VS. Depeche Mode - Everything Counts - Unlike others here, I'm not a big fan of Depeche Mode, but there are a few which I love and this is one of them. First is quite good though. Liked it.


Linx - Intuition VS. Anderson Paak - Comedown - Hands up, the second is really good. Always loved the first but I'm not sure if it's just because it's mine that I'm siding with it or not.


Crystal Fighters - Follow VS. J. Geils Band - Centerfold - Well, that was easy. First isn't bad just not the classic that is Centrefold.


Madonna - Live To Tell VS. Lissie - Blood and Muscle - A tough one this and I did something I rarely do. I listened to one of them again. I've heard Live To Tell so many times I feel I can judge it fairly without giving it another listen. Tough though, because I really like that Madonna song. Had it been This Used To Be My Playground, I'd have gone with that.


Lovage - Book of the Month VS. Pink Floyd-Free Four - Not the worst Floyd, but still Floyd. It was like Floyd meets Monty Python. Don't like them either.


Hell - Darkhangel VS. Thin Lizzy - Out in the Fields - Close one this. Thought I was going to go the other way but then the second kicks in and it just nicks it.

Kid Ink - Cali' Dreamin' VS. Tom Waits - Goin' Out West - I'd go neither, but I can't.

I am genuinely shocked that Anderson Paak is losing to that garbage.

It got my vote!

I am genuinely shocked that Anderson Paak is losing to that garbage.
I would have vote for it if it was up against Madonna or one of the Depeche Mode song



ROUND 1 DAY 6

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris VS. Propaganda - Dr. Mabuse
That second song was just boring.

Belouis Some - Imagination VS. Toni Harper - Lady Lonely
I'm an 80's buff but have never heard the first before

Kid Rock - American Badass VS. Nagisa ni Te - me, on the beach
Funny, I used to despise Kid Rock's music back when this song came out. Compared to the other song, Kid's song sounds great

Charles Trenet - La Mer VS. Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See
Neither one peaked my interest, but the second is more tolerable

The Who-Athena VS. DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak
The first is not my favorite Who song. The second is badass, and that video gives the song character

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside VS. DragonForce - Heroes of Our Time
One of my favorite RHCP songs!

Depeche Mode - It's No Good VS. Devilskin - Never See The Light
Haven't heard that Depeche Mode song in years. Brought back cool memories from the 90's. Awesome nomination!

The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright VS. Whitewoods - Beachwalk
I'm actually not a fan of Offspring, but their song is better than that second thing

HOME - Resonance VS. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Rainbow Connection
Both are meh

John Morris - The Elephant Man Theme VS. Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction
Didn't care for either


Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson and Clover VS. Blaze Foley - Election Day
I was feeling the second one more

Frank and Moon Zappa - Valley Girl VS. David Bowie - Space Oddity
This is Bowie's match

Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers VS. blink-182 - The Rock Show
Blink 182 get on my nerves

The Supremes - Come See About Me VS. Avatarium - The Starless Sleep
No contest!

Rasputina - The Olde Headboard VS. Band of Skulls - Wanderluster
The second was way more badass

Kim Wilde - You Came VS. Joy Division - Dead Souls
Joy Division is a band I could never get into

Charlie - Spacer Woman VS. The Stooges - Down On The Street
I never got into The Stooges but their song is kinda cool

Shinedown - Second Chance VS. Depeche Mode - Everything Counts
Both were ok

Linx - Intuition VS. Anderson Paak - Comedown
The second is funky. I like it!

Crystal Fighters - Follow VS. J. Geils Band - Centerfold
The second is a song I'm tired of listening to

Madonna - Live To Tell VS. Lissie - Blood and Muscle
Tough match! Lissie is a great discovery! The only thing is Madonna's song is her all-time best, and I love that song to death

Lovage - Book of the Month VS. Pink Floyd-Free Four
The first missed the mark

Hell - Darkhangel VS. Thin Lizzy - Out in the Fields
I'm not into all that satanic **** at all

Kid Ink - Cali' Dreamin' VS. Tom Waits - Goin' Out West
Both songs didn't do anything for me, so I voted for the video that had the hotter babes

ROUND 1 DAY 6


Madonna - Live To Tell VS. Lissie - Blood and Muscle
Tough match! Lissie is a great discovery! The only thing is Madonna's song is her all-time best, and I love that song to death
This is the coolest aspect of these tournaments. I have discovered several artists that would never have been brought to my attention otherwise.

Belouis Some - Imagination VS. Toni Harper - Lady Lonely

Kid Rock - American Badass VS. Nagisa ni Te - me, on the beach

Charles Trenet - La Mer VS. Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See
Look guys I have a real emotional connection with Mr. Beans’ Holiday so you can’t change my mind on this one

The Who-Athena VS. DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside VS. DragonForce - Heroes of Our Time
I listen to this song nearly everyday in the car. The other one doesn’t have the same punch as ‘Through Fire and Flames’

Depeche Mode - It's No Good VS. Devilskin - Never See The Light

The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright VS. Whitewoods - Beachwalk
Other one’s still great

HOME - Resonance VS. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Rainbow Connection
A rock and roll rendition of a song from ‘The Muppets Movie’? Awesome! Wouldn’t mind my one loosing to this one at all.

John Morris - The Elephant Man Theme VS. Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction

Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson and Clover VS. Blaze Foley - Election Day
Uh oh, the Breaking Bad memories are flushing back!

You can’t go wrong with Space Oddity

The Supremes - Come See About Me VS. Avatarium - The Starless Sleep

Rasputina - The Olde Headboard VS. Band of Skulls - Wanderluster

Crystal Fighters - Follow VS. J. Geils Band - Centerfold

Madonna - Live To Tell VS. Lissie - Blood and Muscle

Lovage - Book of the Month VS. Pink Floyd-Free Four

Hell - Darkhangel VS. Thin Lizzy - Out in the Fields
Loved the vocals of the other one.

Kid Ink - Cali' Dreamin' VS. Tom Waits - Goin' Out West
I’ll stick to the original California Dreaming.
