Dammit. GNR wants to challenge up. Can't you people just challenge Prince or whoever is below GNR...and if you beat them challenge GNR the next time around?

sharpie Apr 18 2006 09:15 AM

Clash has already beaten Prince. You can challenge up if by some travesty of justice you defeat the Clash.

Elster88 Apr 18 2006 09:17 AM

Yes, it is a travesty of justice when a much more talented band defeats a lesser band. Bring it on.

sharpie Apr 18 2006 09:18 AM

Put up your list, Axl.

Elster88 Apr 18 2006 09:19 AM

Coming. Don't forget to link snippets of the Clash songs.

When we get G n' R songs.

sharpie Apr 18 2006 11:36 AM

D'oh. There was so much back 'n' forth with Elster that I didn't realize he hadn't put up his songs. So sorry.

Willets Point Apr 19 2006 01:22 AM

There's a pattern I'm noticing anytime Gunes en Rotses is involved in a challenge. (mispelling intentional, Elster can smell it 1000 miles away and will swoop in to correct me and maybe post his 10 songs while he's here).

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 04:21 PM

I know voting usually ends 48 hours after the second band puts up their songs, but that would be a weekend. How about we extend to Monday, at the time when the second band put up their songs.

Not true. The 2nd list was put up on Wednesday, which makes 48 hours later Friday. For Thursday or Friday lists they do extend over the weekend.

"Clampdown" vs. "Sweet Child O' Mine " --GnR "Clash City Rockers" vs. "November Rain " --GnR "I Fought the Law" vs. "Paradise City " --Stop nominating Paradise City. It’s boring. Not that I’d know what to replace it with. Clash "London Calling" vs. "Welcome to the Jungle " --As Bob Murphy would say, “It’s Power vs. Power!” Edge to the Guns with a strong performance that made everyone stand up and take notice. "Police On My Back" vs. "You Could Be Mine " --I’m gonna penalize GnR for appearing in Terminator II… not really. Clash in a close matchup. "Rock the Casbah" vs. "Don't Cry (original lyrics) " --Dumb song but a good one -- the Clash wins "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" vs. "Mr. Brownstone " --Even dumber Clash song. Squeaker for Mr. B "Straight to Hell" vs. "Estranged " --eh. Edge to Clash I suppose for keeping it under 10 minutes. "This Is Radio Clash" vs. "Civil War " --I kinda burned out on that ‘Radio Clash’ groove thing thanks to Big Audio Dynamite. Guns. "Train in Vain" vs. "Patience" --Clash. Clash 5, Guns 5

*sighing and shrugging* I'm actually finding more respect for GNR than I expected, overall. But seriously, the Clash reeks.

Willets Point Apr 21 2006 11:21 AM

You mispelt "rocks".

sharpie Apr 21 2006 11:24 AM

]But seriously, the Clash reeks. Them's fightin' words. Both "The Clash" and "London Calling" are two of the best albums EVER ("London Calling" winning the, I think, Rolling Stone Best Album of the '80's award even though it came out in late 1979). I got nothing against GNR, I've voted their way in some of these contests, but they got nothing on the Clash). (on edit): Here's a good Jonathan Lethem piece on the Clash: http://jonathanlethem.com/the%20clash.html

Elster88 Apr 21 2006 11:30 AM

Everyone has their own favorites. Music is highly subjective.

sharpie Apr 21 2006 11:32 AM

True dat. Just don't say the Clash reeks and you and I got no beef.

Vic Sage Apr 21 2006 02:14 PM

yeah, as long as "the clash reeks" is purely an expression of your musical tastes, its a totally legit position. its when that view is proferred as an objective evaluation that it becomes dubious.

Elster88 Apr 21 2006 02:25 PM

I've personally never smelled them. I don't know how anyone could read "This band reeks" and think it was an objective statement. I thought it was obviously about my taste in music. OTOH, "Guns N' Roses is the greatest band of all time" is obviously an objective statement. It's also a silly statement to make because everyone knows it.
