Best Decade Tournament - 80s: Koopee wins!

[DeLima]

I love about half of it and really like the other half. About a Girl was always my favorite track (and remains in my top 5 Nirvana songs). It doesn't really sound like anything else on Bleach or Nevermind to my ears. How about you?

I love About a Girl and I think a few other songs are good. Bleach is a fun little record, but it feels somewhat disposable and I made the argument (that did not go over well) that it is substantially below the other two Nirvana records in terms of quality, and that is remembered the way it is more for the fact that the band that wrote bleach would go on to write Nevermind and In Utero rather than for the strengths of the record itself.

Remember what happened the last time this came up stip?

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?

this was a good pick, btw

Beastie Boys - No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn

I forgot how funny this video is. LOL at the headbanger's head coming off at the 3:10 mark.

The fact that this was picked before anything from Paul's Boutique is fucking absurd.

It's like that old saying goes, "If you can't stand the absurdity, get out of the decade song tournament."

(but yeah, I agree. PB > LTI)

yay!

My opinions are nothing if not bold

[stip]

also, can someone tweet Lament or something?

This statement is absurd. L2I came out first, was way more popular and more successful than PB.

I've got to go put the girls to bed. Please make sure you PM the next person

Sure. But let's not act like this isn't the best song on License to Ill. It's a solid pick, mango.

Everyone hated Pauls Boutique in the 80s.

What does that have to do with anything?

Just cluing you in to the word on the street man. The children hated it and the children are all that matter.
