Match CL: I Got Shit vs. Red Mosquito

[Thejambi]

This is an impossible choice.

[PHATJ]

I think these are both top 10 songs for me.

I Got ID it is. One of the few songs that I think the studio version is vastly superior than live.

[warehouse]

wtf? we have to actually think about this shit now? damn....

[epilogue]

Easily the most difficult match-up for me so far. It's a crime that both of these songs aren't going deep into the tournament. Both are two of the best things this band has done, I think.

But, after much deliberation, I voted for the bug.

[stip]

oh man, what an upset this would be

[warehouse]

RM is a great song, and decent message board. i love the slide licks, its not really something they do often (or ever?), and the outro is beautiful. but i got shit really does it for me. the studio version is awesome and kinda creepy, but for me it doesnt get any better than when they played this at soldier field in 95. man, what a show that was. this song was super intense that night.

[EJ]

oh man, what an upset this would be

How so? These are about as equal as it gets for me. I went with RM today. But, a different day I could've gone the other way. Both outstanding songs.

[warehouse]

didnt each song win one of these tourneys?

[epilogue]

RM has never won this tourney.

According to B's post in the main MM thread:

PREVIOUS CHAMPIONS
2012 Tremor Christ (Tremor Christ vs. Immortality)
2009 Black (Black vs. Given to Fly)
2008 Immortality (Final: Immortality vs. Rearviewmirror)
2007 Corduroy (Final: Corduroy vs. Porch)
2006 Black (Final: Black vs. Corduroy)
2005 I Got Shit (Final: I Got Shit vs. In My Tree)

[Kaius]

And then we have Amongst the Waves vs Swallowed Whole......

Love me both but I'm team RM today

I don't think RM has ever advanced that far in one of these things. I got shit won one year and has always done pretty well.

2012 Tremor Christ
2009 Black
2008 Immortality
2007 Corduroy
2006 Black
2005 I Got Shit

As far as I'm concerned, I got Shit is absolutely the odd one out there.

[BurtReynolds]

yeah I Got Shit is good, but I dunno.

[Strat]

Hmm. I initally thought i Got id but...

Gotta sit with this one.

I Love Neils playing on the studio version.

[McParadigm]

Isn't I got Shit from the perspective of a stalker? Which makes it less obnoxious , if not less sulky, to me anyway.

If two Mopey Mumble-Matildas stand up and sing "I fight back in my mind! It never lets me be right. I've got memories and a various collection of undefined other stuff I will henceforth refer to as shit because it really sounds like my life is hard if I do it that way! So much, it don't show (except for when I'm belting it out to a bunch of strangers, lol)..." but the second one mumbles something afterwards about the song not being autobiographical, both Mopeys are still drama queening the shit out of their subject matter and both are still saved primarily because Neil Fucking Young.

[doone]

Oh Jesus. I think I'll have to flip a coin.

Went with RM. I like funky PJ almost without exception.

[Lament]

2012 Tremor Christ
2009 Black
2008 Immortality
2007 Corduroy
2006 Black
2005 I Got Shit

As far as I'm concerned, I got Shit is absolutely the odd one out there.

As far as I'm concerned, Black is absolutely the odd one out there. The other four were all released within a twelve month span.
