R32: Down Rodeo vs Know Your Enemy

[Norah]

No this is right.

[tragabigzanda]

I'm shocked Down Rodeo even performed this will. I still think it's an infinitely better song, but I'll take some comfort in its loss being a closer one than I had imagined.

[Bammer]

I take solace in this reaffirming my view that most RMers are a bunch of morons.

[washing machine]

For those of you still on the fence, might I remind you that Down Rodeo has an infinitely sicker bass line and some sinister sounds snaking through the verses.

[The Argonaut]

I'll give them both a listen now, if only because "I'm rolling down rodeo with a shotgun" has been the line stuck in my head all day. If I change my vote to Down Rodeo, they'll be tied again

That intro chord is very Sonic Youth, too.

[wease]

No this is right.

Know Your Enemy.

Then all I have to do is cast my vote, and we’ll have a winner.

[The Argonaut]

No, I was right the first time. I feel confident that Know Your Enemy is the right choice.

[Bammer]

I knew pinning my hopes on the likes of argo was folly.

[tragabigzanda]

The intro music to Skitchin' is what the KYE riff reminds me of! Starts at 0:26.

Cool. Now do the intro to Revolver.

[tragabigzanda]

That'd just be Asteroids probably

[washing machine]

Trag, I listened to your Sega clip but I no longer agree with you. I really have always thought that a part of KYE sounds like 16-bit video game music from 1993, but for me it's the intro riff and not the main riff.

I think we're talking about the same riff, the first blast of electric guitar before he screams "know your enemy," right?

[washing machine]

No.

[washing machine]

I'm talking about the first 38 seconds of the song. Morello is making 16-bit sounds come out of that guitar.

[tragabigzanda]

No.

[tragabigzanda]

ok yes, but no.

[Bammer]

This is trending in the right direction. Voters take note. Still time to fix this.
