Song Tournament # 8 The Mega Tournament

But I was sorta feeling like Godoggo and the others who think there's just been too many old songs from like the 1960's winning these things.

And yet you voted for People are Strange.

We should have a song tournament where only me, Godoggo, and JJ can nominate songs.

I have an idea:

Tag Team Song Tournament

you don't vote for a single song, but instead the pair of songs. Now this can either be done by one person putting two songs together or by pairing up members and then their songs are paired up.

I just think it's an interesting way to make people decide whether certain songs are good enough to carry a song they don't like. It would make the voting process more interesting to me.

Nothing against Derek, but it annoys me that he keeps doing so well in these tournaments. After all, this is a guy who thinks Linkin Park is one of the greatest bands of all time. He also said that Limp Bizkit's version of "Behind Blue Eyes" is better than The Who's version. I've seen him express all sorts of terrible opinions about music in these threads, yet we continue to enable him by voting for his nominations.

With that said, however, I vote for The Doors- "People Are Strange." I hate to do so, since it will give Derek another win and The Doors have already won one of these tournaments, but The Doors is one of my favorite bands. I used to have a Jim Morrison poster in my bedroom, and I own all of their CDs. "People Are Strange" isn't one of their best songs, but I definitely prefer it to "Zombie."

I never would've thought that these would be the last two songs standing. It's strange how these things turn out. I bet we could re-do this tournament and just switch up the match-ups and we'd get a completely different winner every time.

You could try that, but I would rather nominate new stuff if you do.

You know what? I am almost tempted to take these exact same nominations and do it all over again, but with gbgoodies suggestion. Instead of voting in pairs, I would list 32 songs and everyone would give me a list of the 16 songs they want to move forward in what order. Then the 16 songs with the most points would move forward. If nothing else it would be an interesting experiment to see how the results vary.
