Best 'One' Song Ever
Johnny Dickshot Dec 16 2005 10:54 AM |
I'll start by nominating the two I described.
|
Edgy DC Dec 16 2005 11:00 AM |
"One" --- U2
|
seawolf17 Dec 16 2005 11:07 AM |
I nominate Metallica's "One". Not only did it put Metallica on the MTV map for the first time, but it's a tremendous slab of heavy rock that may be the signature song for the most important heavy metal bands of their time. It slides in above Hall & Oates easily; I would put it above U2 and the Oils, but that's just personal preference and I don't know that anyone else would agree.
|
metirish Dec 16 2005 11:08 AM |
This is a tough one Dickshot, your analysis is spot on, I must vote for U2 if only because "one" live in concert is so powerful, still both are great songs..
|
sharpie Dec 16 2005 11:13 AM |
I nominate 3 Dog Night's "One (Is the Loneliest Number)" because it has One in its title.
|
Willets Point Dec 16 2005 11:23 AM |
I nominate "One" by Eddie from Ohio (not rock I know so feel to disqualify if you like).

"One Tree Hill" from the Joshua Tree
|
Edgy DC Dec 16 2005 11:27 AM |
We need clips.
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 16 2005 11:29 AM |
Time out: This isn't working the way it should. I was hoping to have a showdown between the first two, then progress.

One More Bell to Answer - the 5th Dimension
|
seawolf17 Dec 16 2005 11:32 AM |
Metallica's "[url=http://www.metallica.com/Media/Albums/singles.asp?album_id=5&single_id=3]One[/url]" (at least a "one"-minute clip)
|
Edgy DC Dec 16 2005 11:34 AM |
Sorry about that.
|
seawolf17 Dec 16 2005 11:35 AM |
How about Nelly's "#1"? Great song.
|
seawolf17 Dec 16 2005 11:36 AM |
Or "The One" by Foo Fighters?
|
metirish Dec 16 2005 11:37 AM |
One tree hill form U2 is damn good.
|
Willets Point Dec 16 2005 11:38 AM |
|
Did Eddie from Ohio get disqualified or did you just forget?
Soundclip on Amazon.
|
seawolf17 Dec 16 2005 11:38 AM |
Or "The One" by Elton John?
|
Edgy DC Dec 16 2005 11:41 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Dec 16 2005 11:42 AM |
Yeah, I agree that "She's the One" and "The Lucky One" --- worthy as they are --- open the field to too many players. We expand beyond songs with themes of one-ness to themes of she-ness.
|
sharpie Dec 16 2005 11:41 AM |
One More Cup of Coffee (Valley Below) by Bob Dylan, also ably covered by White Stripes should be in there.
|
Edgy DC Dec 16 2005 11:42 AM |
Or "The One" by Elton John?
|
HahnSolo Dec 16 2005 11:48 AM |
The One Thing, by INXS merits at-large consideration into this tourney.
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 16 2005 11:51 AM |
Out of control again.
|
sharpie Dec 16 2005 11:58 AM |
Not really. Get a whole mess of songs. 20 or so. We each vote for, say, 5 or 10 that we would like to see get in the next round and then, in a field of 10, we rank them. You get 10 points for first, 9 for second, etc. and then "one" emerges as the winner.
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 16 2005 12:05 PM |
I like a double-elimination tourney with real contenders.
|
metirish Dec 16 2005 12:08 PM |
I'm fine with that Dickshot, in all honestly do you think "One Country" is a very well known song?, it might fail your own criteria.
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 16 2005 12:10 PM |
I'm not sure if One Country will make the cut. Ask edgy what he's done with Ron.
|
Willets Point Dec 16 2005 12:11 PM |
You arbitrary despot.
|
MFS62 Dec 16 2005 01:32 PM |
ONE from A Chorus Line
|
sharpie Dec 16 2005 01:36 PM |
I think Dickshot is looking for rock songs. One (singular sensation) could be pitted against West Side Story's "One Hand, One Heart" in the musical division.
|
MFS62 Dec 16 2005 01:44 PM |
|
I agree with you, but that's not whatthe title of the thread said. Later
|
seawolf17 Dec 16 2005 01:46 PM |
That's why I threw Nelly in there. His "#1" is better than anything Hall and Oates ever wrote.
|
Frayed Knot Dec 16 2005 02:00 PM |
|
Umm, that would be 'One LESS Bell to Answer' Also available: 'One Fine Day' - Chiffons 'One Way or Another' - Blondie 'Still the One' - Orleans
|
sharpie Dec 16 2005 02:03 PM |
Yes, of coure you're right about the downward trend of bells. I've got no problem if DIckshot nixes that one.
|
Edgy DC Dec 16 2005 02:06 PM |
|
You know. You're a rich girl. But you've gone too far. Nelly can meet Darryl and John in the soul division. Then we'll settle this crap and good.

The Who “I’m one”
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 16 2005 02:34 PM |
Well its obvious nobody is reading the content of the messages, anyway.
|
Edgy DC Dec 16 2005 02:37 PM |
I'm confused but ready to proceed.
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 16 2005 02:44 PM |
If you're confused, go to this link and download "12 Bracket" (you'll get a 12-song bracket sheet in word format).
|
sharpie Dec 16 2005 02:58 PM |
One More Cup of Coffee is better than any of these songs and it doesn't make the cut?
|
Willets Point Dec 16 2005 03:25 PM |
I'm bummed about "One Country". If the guys from Gooch Hall my freshman year of college were members of this forum they'd all vote for it. We used to listen to it over and over.

(1) ONE LOVE -- Bob Marley

Coming soon:

SI Metman Dec 16 2005 05:49 PM |
Going through my playlist, other one songs:
|
Edgy DC Dec 16 2005 05:54 PM |
Ron's back!
|
seawolf17 Dec 16 2005 06:41 PM |
I have no need for Creed or the Bizkit, but those other four are all winners.
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 16 2005 06:53 PM |
One of these days by Floyd too.
|
Edgy DC Dec 16 2005 08:41 PM |
And Ron's gone again.
|
TheOldMole Dec 16 2005 10:39 PM |
What about The King? I Was the One.

Bracket Update 12/17 3:49 pm:
|
Edgy DC Dec 18 2005 04:02 PM |
A late nomination for "One World" by the Police.

Bracket Update 12/18 10:26 pm:
|
metirish Dec 18 2005 10:41 PM |
I think a Marley U2 final would be cool, especially as Bono and the lads hold Bob Marley in such high regard.
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 18 2005 10:43 PM |
It might be the most worthless thing we've ever done here, but I'm determined to get through it.
|
metirish Dec 18 2005 10:45 PM |
Perhaps it is but it's a whole lot of fun, helps get through the off-season.
|
Willets Point Dec 19 2005 07:40 AM |
Voting over the weekend?!?!?! You are a ruthless despot!
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 19 2005 07:47 AM |
Nobody's been eliminated yet.
|
Edgy DC Dec 19 2005 08:27 AM |
An even later nomination for "One World" by the Police.
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 19 2005 09:30 AM |
Too late, Gordon Sumner.
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 19 2005 11:21 PM |
Our first 4 contestants have been eliminated, 2 and out. Finishing in 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th place are:
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 20 2005 10:57 PM |
Two more contestants have been eliminated. Next up, the winners' bracket semifinals, but I'm gonna give this a rest till after the holiday.
|
cooby Dec 20 2005 11:07 PM |
I'm not sure, but I think I voted in one of these things twice. Can you do that?
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 30 2005 07:32 AM |
I'm gonna fire this one up again in honor of the first of the year.
|
MFS62 Dec 30 2005 07:44 AM |
Hey, hold your horses, buster.
|
Johnny Dickshot Jan 07 2006 10:49 AM |
OK, only 6 more contests to go: This next round will reduce us to a Final 4.
