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.

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...
