BLC: Aerosmith vs Pink Floyd, redux

seawolf17 Mar 17 2006 11:32 AM

Going right back at 'em. Gunning for Petty, really, but since I need to get through Floyd first, so be it. Wish Lenny would knock Petty out of the way first, because I sense this is going to be difficult.

Lenny is in school. I'll tell him tonight. I thought the rule, however, was that you can't re-challenge unless you've won a round in the meantime.

Edgy DC Mar 17 2006 12:11 PM

Aero has beaten somebody. Was that before losing to the Floyd?

sharpie Mar 17 2006 12:19 PM

They beat Van Halen but I see that it was indeed after losing to Pink Floyd so it is a valid challenge. I'll tell Lenny once he gets home from school to shine on the homework and defend his spot.

I've got a new lineup 1.Shine On You Crazy Diamond 2. Another Brick in the Wall (part 2) 3. Wish You Were Here 4. Welcome to the Machine 5. Money 6. Comfertably Numb 7. Breathe 8. Hey You 9. See Emily Play 10. Time

sharpie Mar 20 2006 10:53 AM

I'll get this one started: "Toys in the Attic" vs. Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Those 4 guitar notes get me every time. PINK FLOYD "Dream On vs. "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" PINK FLOYD "Walk This Way" vs. "Wish You Were Here" If this were the Run-DMC version then things might be different. PINK FLOYD "Sweet Emotion" vs. "Welcome to the Machine". Not my favorite Floyd. AEROSMITH "Train Kept a Rollin'" vs. "Money" PINK FLOYD "Janie's Got a Gun" vs. "Comfortably Numb" PINK FLOYD "Mama Kin" vs. "Breathe" PINK FLOYD "Rag Doll" vs. "Hey You" PINK FLOYD "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" vs. "See Emily Play" Always hated the dude, loved Emily. PINK FLOYD "What It Takes" vs. "Time" Time is the answer to what it takes. PINK FLOYD Pink Floyd 9 Aerosmith 1

JD -- In the individual song count you have it at 6-4 Floyd, not 5-5.

Johnny Dickshot Mar 20 2006 02:14 PM

You are correct Sir. Will edit.

Nymr83 Mar 20 2006 07:53 PM

strange that if i were picking Aerosmith songs i'd have only picked 1 of those 10 to use, one of those rare groups that has different music for different generations i guess.

Elster88 Mar 20 2006 09:48 PM

Dream On and Walk This Way have to be included in any valid Aerosmith list. Does liking that song from Armageddon make me gay?

cooby Mar 20 2006 10:17 PM

="Elster88"] Does liking that song from Armageddon make me gay? I like that song too. And I like Jaded. A lot.

seawolf17 Mar 21 2006 05:55 AM

The tough thing about this contest is that I'd love to include IDWTMAT (the Armageddon song) or Jaded, but fear ridicule from some of the elitist pricks. I'd use some of their really great album tracks like Woman of the World or One Way Street, but I don't know that anyone will know them. That said: "Toys in the Attic" vs. Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Aerosmith "Dream On vs. "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" Aerosmith "Walk This Way" vs. "Wish You Were Here" Aerosmith "Sweet Emotion" vs. "Welcome to the Machine" Aerosmith "Train Kept a Rollin'" vs. "Money" Aerosmith "Janie's Got a Gun" vs. "Comfortably Numb" Aerosmith "Mama Kin" vs. "Breathe" Aerosmith "Rag Doll" vs. "Hey You" Aerosmith "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" vs. "See Emily Play" Aerosmith "What It Takes" vs. "Time" Aerosmith I like my matchups a lot better this time. (And I guess this really just cancel's out Lenny's vote, as it happens.)

"Toys In The Attic" vs. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" -- the Pink Floyd "Dream On" vs. "Another Brick in the Wall (part 2)" -- Tie "Walk This Way" vs. "Wish You Were Here" -- Aerosmith "Sweet Emotion" vs. "Welcome to the Machine" -- the Pink Floyd "Train Kept A Rollin" vs. "Money" -- the Pink Floyd "Janie's Got A Gun" vs. "Comfortably Numb" -- the Pink Floyd "Mama Kin" vs. "Breathe" -- the Pink Floyd "Rag Doll" vs. "Hey You" -- the Pink Floyd "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)" vs. "See Emily Play" -- the Pink Floyd "What It Takes" vs. "Time" -- the Pink 8-1 to the Pink Floyd. I'm surprised it was this close.

The lineup juggling helped Aerosmith on my ballot as they gained 1.5 points from their previous Pink Floyd challenge.

Rockin' Doc Mar 22 2006 07:53 AM

A little home cooking from the managers in this round. Not to start a long discussion of the rules of the BLC, but I would like to see the sponsors of the bands excluded from voting in the contests their band is entered in. They should pick the songs and post their line up, then let the others on the board decide the winner. Not that big a deal, but it seems it might help the subjectivity and fairness in the voting.

sharpie Mar 22 2006 08:38 AM

This one's over: Pink Floyd 67.5 Aerosmith 52.5 I thought when this all got started that the sponsors shouldn't vote but in this case and in most cases they cancel each other out. I didn't vote Doors over Beatles nor did Willets vote Prince over Clash - sometimes, however, you put up a band you like and they are up against a band you actively dislike (hasn't happened to me, but I could see where it could). 10-0 votes are sometimes going to happen whether or not the sponsor votes.
