Jop Tournament Qualifiers 5

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Four more groups, sixteen more contenders - Eminem in there twice, and a Chic vs Chic contest in Group S.

In yesterday's first groups, convincing wins for G'n'R, Eurythmics, and TLC, plus Nirvana edging "Beat It" by one vote (take a bow insaneplatypus) and the Beastie Boys just about qualifying as least disliked.


[Poll #913043]


More later - the charts poll is late this week cos I haven't heard the records, it will usually be on a Wednesday though.

I dunno, Lex, I find all of hte results from yesterday's poll at least defensible, even if I don't agree with all of them.

There are two in particular obv. Well Nirvana beating MJ is disappointing but mostly because victory was so close, only to be rudely snatched away at the last minute. But that terrible terrible horrendous Guns'n'Roses song beating amazing Dizzee and lovely Desto's and awesome Jaxx = wrong wrong wrong wrong, in so many ways wrong, I am shaking my head in PITY and SHAME here.

OK, I can only answer for myself:

Nirvana - Sorry, but this is one of the very greatest rock songs of all time. I know you don't like rock, but some of us do and this is great. Really catchy too, so it's also a great pop song!

GnR - I don't like that Dizzee song at all, and I'm kinda meh on the Jaxx in general. Which left it to "Survivor" and "Sweet Child O Mine" which I spent way too long deliberating between. "Survivor" is amazing, for sure, but "Sweet Child O Mine" has that powerhouse riff...I went with "Sweet Child O Mine" ultimately, though I switched back and forth a couple times. I think a lot of people here aren't big fans of "Survivor" and went with GnR by default, for what it's worth. I doubt it will make it past the next round. "Sweet Child O Mine" = catchy, cliche though not bad lyrics, good rock singing, best guitar riff ever.

GnR's first round draw will either vindicate the Lex entirely or leave him HOWLING in BITTER AGONY.

I am ALREADY howling in bitter agony and am mystified wrt this so-called monster riff that SCOM apparently possesses.

it becomes apparent after listening to the first 5 seconds of the song...

sampled to cute boshy effect by Stazi on 'Your Loving Arms' which i should dig out and upload...
