The fact that Bohemian Rhapsody is winning because of Wayne's World really upsets me.... and shows me how stupid the majority of OOT really is.

I've been saying this for years but nobody else has been listening.

Still, SLTS is probably they're best song, and better than Mrs. Robinson

Thanks for pointing out the fact that no one liked Queen before Wayne's World came out. Everyone looks at me like i'm crazy when I say that they didn't have any other good songs and no one would know any of their songs now if it weren't for Wayne's World.

I voted Bohemian Rhapsody, like Queen, and have never seen Wayne's World.

U2 is awesome. Especially the two songs in this challenge. Sunday Bloody Sunday / Sweet Child 'O Mine could go either way IMHO, but John Mellencamp is awful. That one is no contest.

I'm somewhat irritated right now. I've been watching the voting since I put this up and lets just say there's been some very fishy voting patterns. Someone out there have about 10 accounts?

Mrs. Robinson - Simon & Garfunkel 13 28%
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana 32 71%

This is sick. Mrs. Robinson is a classic.

istewart

03-20-2005, 05:57 PM

I think Smells Like Teen Spirit can probably be classified as a classic too.

I agree, esp. with the younger crowd, but I didnt expect Mrs. Robinson to get blown out. I am also surprised Fleetwood Mac. I thought they would have the edge.

No, but when multiple songs who are all getting their ass handed to them simultaneously go on a double digit vote upswing in a short period of time, it tends to look a bit fishy.

U2 is easily the most overrated band ever. Granted "one" is a decent song, but "Jack and Diane" (AKA, the happiest song ever) blows it away, despite John Mellencamp sucking it hard too.

And if there has to be a U2 song on here, it would have to be "Where the streets have no name"

Weezer's blue album is brilliant, one of my all time favorites. Too bad they had to go up against Comfortably Numb. Say it aint so is better than 90% of the songs on this list.

AHHHHHHHH!

Thanks a lot.

Seriously, what is so great about this dated, goofy song? Off the Wall was kinda cool but Thriller - I'm sorry - is just so dated. Who the hell listens to it anymore?

In the whole of history, no artist has ever been more vastly overrated than Michael Jackson.

istewart

Thriller is a sweet album.

"Beat It" is incredible all around.

Beautiful, just plain f'ing beautiful. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

In fact, should Billie Jean win /images/graemlins/confused.gif against WGO, all music threads on this board should be instantly deleted.

Bill Murphy

03-20-2005, 08:25 PM

A couple of years ago I checked the remastered, expanded versions of Thriller & Off The Wall out of the library. Both sounded great, defo masterpieces of a type.

OTW holds up a bit better after 25(!!! /images/graemlins/frown.gif /images/graemlins/tongue.gif) years, and Billie Jean is the worst song on either album.

A more interesting contest would be albums v albums: Thriller & OTW v WGO & Let's Get It On, or even MJ v MG for their entire careers.

IMO, for starters, the *songs* WGO & LGIO are better than anything on Thriller or OTW, but I think LGIO is the (relatively) weakest of the four albums, and MG's pre-WGO career was far, far superior to MJ's pre-OTW career.

MG also coulda kicked MJ's azz, and he defo shagged hotter chicks. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif But I'm not sure where the pwnership lies regarding their fathers, i.e. getting killed by your dad as an adult, or getting exploited-gravy trained by him as an 8 year old.

Oh trust me, I'm well aware that thats why its doing so well. My question is, out of the people who voted for Don't Fear the Reaper, what percent actually even owns the song?

Uston

I voted for it and don't own the song (I own "London Calling", though). Never even liked the song all that much until I learned to play it. Now I think it's great.

Agreed. How did "Where the Streets have no name" lose to Bohemian Rhapsody, aka the most overplayed song of all time? How does Live have 20 votes vs Lennon? Sunday Bloody Sunday is getting robbed, so is Marvin, and how Foo Fighters is beating Tom Petty is totally beyond me.

MasterShakes

03-21-2005, 03:30 AM

Not ONE Pearl Jam song?
You couldn't put one song on there by them?

You put Foo Fighters, Live, Oasis and Weezer on here, but you couldn't toss in Black or Alive?

Probably not if you've ever heard Hendrix's version...

FoxwoodsFiend

03-21-2005, 04:24 AM

I like Mrs. Robinson also, but it doesn't really make too much sense to me. What does Joe DiMaggio have to do with anything?
What does the whole song have to do with anything?

FoxwoodsFiend

03-21-2005, 04:32 AM

No, I've never heard JIMI HENDRIX'S ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER. Honestly, I don't know of anyone who hasn't. I'm just saying it's only partially his song in the first place.

college_boy

03-21-2005, 05:01 AM

Hendrix has to get deducted some points for not writing the song. Gotta go Dylan here.

Michael Davis

03-21-2005, 05:04 AM

"What does Joe DiMaggio have to do with anything?"

That "Joltin' Joe has left and gone away" signifies the end of an era. The song is trying to reassure Mrs. Robinson and when she says that Joltin' Joe has left and gone away, it is a rejection of this aid, a rejection of the idea that prayer or pennance can rid her of her guilt, as in she has committed the act and there's no going back to the old days. Joe DiMaggio signifies happier, innocent times. Really DiMaggio could be replaced by any folk hero.

-Michael

Joe actually misunderstood it himslef. He got angry with S&G thinking they were insulting him for leaving the limelight. Then someone told him it represented him as a heroic icon of a past era.
