Thejambi vs. Lament
Can't vote against In My Tree

Supernintendochalmers vs. Sgt. Crackpot
Almost impossible to choose but "Oceans - Brain of J - Last Exit" is my ideal setlist beginning so that one gets the nod. Even though Education as an intro would usually win 9 out of 10 times.

Letmesleep vs. E.H. Ruddock
Another hard one to choose but GSMF and Life Wasted are personal favs so that tips the scale for me. Some love for LW!!!

TJ vs. Theplatypus
You had me at Strangest Tribe

Platy is my dark horse fav right now but not sure he'll survive this round.

This has been a lot of fun.

Even though I had my ass properly handed to me in the first round, it was funny to see how split people were over my playlist, between people enjoying the first few songs, or the last few songs. Kurt Leon had an excellent list and was tough competition. Congrats.

As far as this round goes, don't have a lot of time today to write my impressions, so I'll just get down and dirty with it.

Lament
Sgt. Crackpot
E.H. Ruddock (Probably the most difficult of the tourney so far, for me. VERY VERY CLOSE)

and in another hotly contested battle.... Theplatypus. Jorge, that group of songs is sequenced masterfully.

Lament wins this round, listened to this playlist and really liked it alot.
Superninendochalmers wins because I hate Leash otherwise I really like Crackpots list a little better.
Let me sleep wins hands down.
Then my round, and Platy has this won so I do not feel bad about this vote I vote for Tj. Platy I saw as my favorite up until the last few rounds then it went down hill fast. I was hoping some one would have the balls to pick Just Breathe which I think would have made Platys list alot better as a playlist. As a group of songs Platy's got me hands down, but I would never listen to the back half of this.

I think your list is better and your playlist is better.

Thanks for that Durden, We all have different taste that is what makes it fun. I like putting list together that have a theme. Listening to these lists have made me really think about some songs.
I have been listening to these groups for a few weeks Alive, Nothing As It Seams And Footsteps
Cold Confession, SOH, and In My Tree

I think since Stip started this mess he should do three things.
#1. Arrange all the first round pics in a really cool playlist.
#2. Create link to playlist
#3. Put all list and first round link on a dedicated page.

Yours was really good man. That was a very hard choice between you and Plat.

Plat would have got my vote. Then he had to draft Let me Sleep. When I listened to that the first time I almost puked, and I am always on the bands side when they come out with their ballads. Let Me Sleep. Oh man I hate that song it maybe the only Pearl Jam song I don't like. Crap Plat what @#$%^#62@ were you thinking . Just Breathe, Inside Job, Speed Of sound hell Olypic Platinum would have been better. Oh Plat you had me then Let Me Sleep.

Yeah. It's a nice little song. Never really have the urge to play it but when it surfaces it makes me smile.

Let Me Sleep is good for what it is. But it's just a little too genre specific to work for me in a tournament like this. But it's a lovely little song and from Nov to Jan, I'll spin that fucker right 'round, baby, right 'round.

it was. You had an excellent playlist


I can make a playlist for the first round picks, but I'll be in the next draft so you'll be able to watch me make all sorts of horrible choices :)
