next!

Clodfobble 04-03-2010 12:09 AM

Yeah, hang on... in previous iterations, wasn't it like 2 out of 3? Once it had two votes, it won the round.

Ibby 04-03-2010 01:23 AM

it's best of five now - 3 votes to win.

Undertoad 04-03-2010 06:30 AM

Whole Lotta Love

- or -

Aqualung?

current field of 64

Griff 04-03-2010 06:46 AM

Aqualung

Undertoad 04-03-2010 07:00 AM

It's best of 5 in the first round so we don't have another *ahem* holy grail debacle.

capnhowdy 04-03-2010 07:48 AM

Whole Lotta Love

xoxoxoBruce 04-03-2010 08:37 AM

Aqualung. Debacle? Fuck you, your precious Monty Python lost fair and square.

Undertoad 04-03-2010 08:38 AM

Big Tootsie fans are we? :D

lumberjim 04-03-2010 08:55 AM

Whole Lotta Love

skysidhe 04-03-2010 09:12 AM

Whole Lot of Love

When you put Aqualung up against Whole Lot Of Love it's sure to lose.

Shawnee123 04-03-2010 11:21 AM

Meh

Whole Lotta Love I guess

Undertoad 04-03-2010 03:46 PM

Personal Jesus?

- or -

Tambourine Man?

current field of 64

lumberjim 04-03-2010 04:23 PM

this is where the version matters.

I'd say personal Jesus if it were Cash's version....but it's listed as the original, so I have to vote for Bob.

Tambo man

monster 04-03-2010 04:30 PM

Personal Jesus

Ibby 04-03-2010 05:46 PM

Actually, jim, the Tambourine Man listed is the Byrds version...
I do prefer Dylan's version (PS: Bob Dylan attended Bennington for a short time in the late 50s or early 60s), but my vote still goes to

Tambourine Man.

lumberjim 04-03-2010 07:53 PM

did we ever discuss possibly allowing unlimited unique voting for a set interval ...like 2 or 3 hours or whatever, and taking the total at the end of each period?

Pico and ME 04-03-2010 09:13 PM

Why not do it like polls?

a poll a day, and we'd have a winner in how many days?

jinx 04-03-2010 09:24 PM

too many

Pico and ME 04-03-2010 10:52 PM

It doesnt have to be one a day. There are how many rounds? Just like a wrestling tournament.

Crimson Ghost 04-04-2010 03:49 AM

We'll need to consult Vince McMahon.

capnhowdy 04-04-2010 06:31 AM

Melissa by a long shot

Undertoad 04-04-2010 07:11 AM

Next vote I'll put up more than one song and we can vote simultaneously. That'll speed it up.

Shawnee123 04-04-2010 08:11 PM

Well crud, I like me some Dave Matthews, but I'm going to have to go with sweet Melissa.

eta: 'cause it's really a very pretty song. :)

Shawnee123 04-04-2010 08:17 PM

I thought you needed votes for progression. ;)

lumberjim 04-04-2010 09:09 PM

i was holding off, because I've voted on every song so far....

but the apathy has gone too far.

Ants!

Crimson Ghost 04-04-2010 09:52 PM

I'm ambivalent about apathy.

skysidhe 04-05-2010 10:33 AM

I like both of those songs equally.

*flips a coin*

Ants go marching

Undertoad 04-05-2010 10:46 AM

Ants it is.

Now, please vote for up to five of the following battles:

Sweet Dreams are Made of This vs. Train in Vain

You may vote one of these, or two, or all five, however you prefer.

Sweet Dreams vs Tarin in Vain shouldn't be a first round matchup, IMHO.

Undertoad 04-05-2010 11:01 AM

The seeding is a little rough.

One last vote needed!

Thank you for pointing out the obvious.

It is precisely why I voted for the other.


All Along the Watchtower
Nutshell
Little Wing
Bohemian Rhapsody
Greensleeves


Changed vote.

Shawnee123 04-05-2010 02:31 PM

Any time!

This kid in HS once sang Moon River, but I was pretty sure that wasn't the one I was referring to.
