Other than Tom Waits, my team is pretty hit heavy. But that'll shift a bit from here on out. Sort of.
I just meant too much of a hit in relation to the Clash discography....its kinda like taking Smells Like Teen Spirit. I kinda expect 10 other Nirvana songs will go before that one and I figured it would the same with the Clash. I figured wrong.
I'm surprised no one has given me shit about it yet. I expected folks to come out of the woodwork.
The same way Van Halen, AC/DC, and Aerosmith aren't. They influenced the genre but were not part of it.
This quote made me laugh:
Elliott tells the Daily Record: "We used to get riled when people called us a hair metal band. If that's true, then so are Led Zeppelin." "It's a ridiculously stupid, lazy term from people who can't be bothered listening to the music because they're fans of REM or Tom Waits."

It was between this n rq for me.. since I saw my list last time I tried to change it up.. patience might be my favorite gnr tune but it's really close between 4 (those 2 n it's so easy.. ones still there).. actually there was one other gnr I almost picked, which I'll discuss later

Then I got older and decided that I knew everything about what music was supposed to be. This was stupid.
Then I got even older and decided that I don't know as much as I think I do and that this song did, in fact, help change the way people (white people, anyway) think about what music could be. And it is awesome.
RUN-DMC - Walk This Way
Fuck you stip. Run DMC must be represented in this tournament but this is the fucking song you go with?
