Ultimate Song Battle

[MEbenhoe]

In honor of March Madness, the Ultimate Song Battle. A 64 song tournament, which will end with one victorious at the end. 8 posters enter teams of 8 songs each. Songs must all fall within the pop or rock genre. All beatles songs are DQ'ed for the sake of fair competition, however outside work is allowable. Competitors must rank their 8 songs in order for seeding.

Myself and Edge34 already have spots in, the next 6 posters to post acceptable lists that don't have any duplicate songs are in as well. I hold the sole right to DQ anyone's list I want because I deem their list terrible. On a final note please be honest with your rankings for seedings.

Lennon - Imagine totally deserves a #1 seed.


In addition, Imagine deserves to be the #1 1 seed and play close to home, in the Pwnage region.

My case for the committee is this: all the songs that were submitted by other people suck total ass.

I actually think a couple of the 2 seeds will drop in the first round but top 8 overall seeds went to all people's #1 ranks, etc. so the seeds are kinda crazy.

[Michael Davis]

Well you guys took up a lot of the very best in the first two groups. American Pie as a 9 is criminal.

[Dead]

I cannot believe that you ranked Wonderwall higher than Good Vibrations. I would have given Wonderwall the 16 out of my songs.

I didn't rank my songs in order of preference FYI. =p Good vibrations is definitely a better song, even though I put it lower.

[Dead]

But how are you going to determine the winners? Are we going to have OOT polls?

7. Lola- The Kinks
8. We are the Champions- Queen

* Automatic DQ. If you don't know one of your own teams, you lose. (Its known as using a ringer).
* We are the Champions - DQ and permanent ban from future tourneys.
* Brown-Eyed Girl - Auto DQ. Nice little song, but once its been heard 1,000 times, its time to retire it.
* Ohio - automatic DQ. Too political, not upbeat. Gets shredded by the run 'n gun.




mmbt0ne's team:
1) Foo Fighters - Everlong
2) Oasis - Talk Tonight (acoustic live)
3) Weezer - Say It Ain't So
4) Live - Lightning Crashes
5) Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way
6) RATM - Bulls on Parade
7) Tool - Sober
8) 311 - Down

I wish 311 wasn't there, but I guess its tough to have a deep bench in the tourney.




plaster8's team:
1. The Ocean -- Led Zeppelin
2. Jump -- Van Halen
3. Sympathy for the Devil -- The Rolling Stones
4. Sweet Jane -- The Velvet Underground
5. I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide -- ZZ Top
6. Train in Vain -- The Clash
7. Comfortably Numb -- Pink Floyd

Strong entry. Plaster and mmbt will be in the finals.
