Kinks vs. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

RealityChuck Mar 24 2006 09:51 AM

All right, let's do it (If I'm not doing this right, feel free to correct me). The Kinks lineup: You Really Got Me All Day and All of the Night Dedicated Follower of Fashion Sunny Afternoon Victoria Lola Apeman Low Budget (I Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman Celluloid Heroes

Edgy DC Mar 24 2006 10:27 AM

Good choices. Please hold for a response...

Willets Point Mar 24 2006 10:28 AM

No worries Chuck you're doing it correctly. Right on down to picking TP&tH for a whomping.

Edgy DC Mar 24 2006 10:42 AM

Yeah, but my 'Breakers have been rallying of late, holding their own against the 'oo, and leading AC/DC until getting thundastruck by sweeps on the last ballots. Let's see what I can do in the battle of the stringy-haired.

"Even the Losers" is making its first appearance and is 2-2-1 in a contest the Heartbreakers are otherwise losing. I kept him down on the bench too long.

An unexpected thrashing from the liberal knothead.

Frayed Knot Mar 24 2006 04:38 PM

I'm just upset that 'Well Respected Man' wasn't entered, appealing as it does to the fuck-the-ruling-class sentimentality to which all us leftist activists subscribe.

Thinks were trending the Heartbreakers way until Rottie came along, but it's still a tightie, 51-49, with many voters still lined up outside.

Johnny Dickshot Mar 27 2006 09:57 AM

This has to be the most difficult one to score yet. "You Really Got Me " vs. "Don't Come Around Here No More" --Kinks in a klose one. "All Day and All of the Night " vs. "American Girl" --I actually think ADAAOFN is slightly better than YRGM, even though they're similar. But this one is up against a superior opponent than the former, so I'm voting for YRGM and not for ADAAOTN. Petty wins. "Dedicated Follower of Fashion " vs. "Even the Losers" --Kinks "Sunny Afternoon " vs. "Don't Do Me Like That" -- Tie? "Victoria " vs. "Listen to Her Heart" --Petty "Lola " vs. "Thing About You" --Petty "Apeman " vs. "You Got Lucky" -- Kinks "Low Budget " vs. "Here Comes My Girl" -- Not my favorites from either group. 'Low Budget' was the song that opened up the whole Kinks world to me, which is weird, but weird shit happens when you're 13. Kinks. "(I Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman " vs. "Refugee" --Petty "Celluloid Heroes" vs. "The Waiting" --Celluloid Heroes reminds me of Mary Climo, who had beautiful hair and appeared once in a Burger King commercial and a few times as young Johnny's couples-only skate partner at the roller rink 25 years ago. She was a dirty Catholic school girl. The waiting was the hardest part. Tie. Kinks 5, TP&H 5

sharpie Mar 28 2006 12:03 PM

Kinks win 56-54. Petty could taste the victory but he's still gonna look like skin and bones.

Edgy DC Mar 28 2006 12:33 PM

I ever meet Petty, I'm gonna punch him one.

Johnny Dickshot Mar 28 2006 01:30 PM

Sucks for Petty. He's been in every contest but falls just short each time. Not sure if it makes all the difference, or any difference, but one thing Petty lacks is that one haymaker -- the potential to put any opponent on the canvas. I suppose 'Refugee' or 'American Girl' is his 'Thunder Road' -- big, just not killer enough. He has an impressive dozen songs in the Classikc Rock Countdown but none rank above 153!!

Edgy DC Mar 28 2006 01:33 PM

Freakin' Petty and the freakin' Heartbreakers --- a handful of "Thunder Road"s but no "Born to Run." And, if he did have a "Born to Run," it would be the ineligible "Free Fallin'," but I fear that would play like another "Thunder Road."

Johnny Dickshot Mar 28 2006 02:17 PM

I was counting 'Thunder Road' as near-unbeatable opponent. Who will take Bruce and the E-Streeters btw? They're almost sure to crack the Top-10, and perhaps, Top 5, as it's presently constituted. Frayed Knot is a fan, I understand.

Edgy DC Mar 28 2006 04:41 PM

I'm similarly hearing the Ramonies calling out to that holdout KC.

sharpie Mar 28 2006 04:53 PM

I'm waiting for Elster to pick someone, anyone.

abogdan Mar 29 2006 12:26 PM

I missed the Q104.3 list thread before it was moved to the archives. What a bizarre list. What are the standards they use for classic rock? Velvet Revolver has a song on the list and their first album came out three years ago. Bon Jovi has a song on the list that came out last year. If Nirvana and Pearl Jam can be considered classic rock, where are all the other great songs from the early 1990's? No Smashing Pumpkins? Only one Chili Peppers song? Where's Hootie?!?!

Edgy DC Mar 29 2006 12:32 PM

Obviously Velvet Revolver borrow their classic rock authenticity from Guns and Roses. New Bon Jovi borrows it from old Bon Jovi. It doesn't have to be old to be classic, but the singers have to be.
