seawolf17 Mar 17 2006 11:39 AM

na na na na na na naaa na na... THUN-DER! in order of release: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Big Balls TNT Whole Lotta Rosie Highway To Hell Hells Bells Back In Black You Shook Me All Night Long For Those About To Rock Thunderstruck Sure, they only wrote one song and just reworked it over and over. But it's a great freaking song. Lots more songs on the bench (The Jack, RNR Ain't Noise Pollution, Let There Be Rock, Jailbait, Down Payment Blues, Long Way To The Top, Shot Down In Flames, Moneytalks). Hate to pick on Petty, but he came in too early, and he's overranked.

This'll be interesting. Agree with your comments, pretty much: ACDC does only 1 thing, but they do it pretty well.

Under attack on all fronts.

"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" vs. "Thing About You" Petty/Heartbreakers, the dirty talk taboo has worn off. "Big Balls" vs. "You Got Lucky” Eh, tie. "TNT" vs. "Don't Come Around Here No More" AC/DC "Whole Lotta Rosie" vs. "Listen to Her Heart" Petty/Heartbreakers with a bullet "Highway To Hell" vs. "Don't Do Me Like That" Petty/Heartbreakers with a slight edge. I'm put off by hearing dead guys sing about sinning their way to Hell. "Hells Bells" vs. "Breakdown (Live)" And yet I'll give them this one. AC/DC in a battle of crude songs. "Back In Black" vs. "American Girl" Petty/Heartbreakers. "Back" doesn't go very far, even for an AC/DC song. "You Shook Me All Night Long" vs. "Here Comes My Girl" Petty/Heartbreakers. "For Those About To Rock" vs. "Refugee" AC/DC is a lot of fun when they sing about the music industry that they've inexplicably conquered. "Thunderstruck" vs. "The Waiting" Tie. Two songs I can't turn up loud enough. Gators take the Dingoes, 6-4.

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" vs. "Thing About You" --Petty. Listen to that organ swirling around! "Big Balls" vs. "You Got Lucky” --Petty. Wasn’y “Big Balls” one of those songs they found leftover after Scott was dead? "TNT" vs. "Don't Come Around Here No More” --Hey! Petty up 3-0 "Whole Lotta Rosie" vs. "Listen to Her Heart --It’s gonna tell you what to do. Petty 4-0! "Highway To Hell" vs. "Don't Do Me Like That" -- It’s unclear, but I’m pretty sure the protagonist/singer in “Don’t Do Me Like That” is about five minutes from getting done like that. He’s a paranoid having a breakdown and as far as we know she hasn’t done anything yet. A very happy song about sick man. Edge to TP&H. "Hells Bells" vs. "Breakdown (Live)" --AC/DC on the board "Back In Black" vs. "American Girl" - --Two in a row. This one's furious and knocks off a great song. "You Shook Me All Night Long" vs. "Here Comes My Girl" --There was a time when ‘You Shook Me’ might have been considered dangerous. Then I was at one of those silly biz industry cocktail parties with a terrible cocktail party band that played this, and wretched old guys in suits were dancing to it. AC/DC again. "For Those About To Rock" vs. "Refugee" --Petty in a close one "Thunderstruck" vs. "The Waiting" --AC/DC Tom Petty y Los Heartbreakers 6, AC/DC 4

I show Petty up 46.5 to 33.5. Even the losers get lucky sometimes.

Edgy DC Mar 20 2006 12:02 PM

Still on the board.

A late rally does Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in. What is the time frame for voting in these contests anyway?

sharpie Mar 22 2006 08:40 AM

48 hours from the time the challenged band's songs are posted (excluding weekend which don't count time-wise).
