Guys, I think I'm just being a cranky, old bastard. It's been a weird couple of weeks for me. I love you both.

No worries, brotha. I don't mind if you don't like my team, or don't like some/most of my team. I just want you to nut up and vote! :mrgreen:

By which, of course, I mean I love you too. :luv:

Wow, did no one take Purple Rain? I didn't even realize. That's a little crazy.

Durdencommatyler
1. Tom Waits - Time
2. Prince - When Doves Cry
3. Talking Heads - And She Was
4. R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World As We Know It (and I feel fine) One of the few REM songs I really don't care if I never hear again.
5. The Clash - Rock The Casbah - yes, I think.
6. Pixies - Monkey Gone To Heaven - ehh, yes. I think.
7. Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster (Jammin)
8. Beastie Boys - The Sounds of Science - yes
9. Michael Jackson - PYT
10. Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer - no

Delima
1. Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal
2. NWA - Fuck Tha Police - great pick
3. Talking Heads - Crosseyed and Painless
4. U2 - Running To Stand Still - good
5. Guns 'N Roses - Patience - good
6. Tom Waits - Innocent When You Dream (78)
7. Mother Love Bone - Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns - good
8. Bruce Springsteen - My Father's House - meh
9. Neil Young - Rockin in the Free World - good
10. Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive - no

Ok. So, DeLima narrowly wins all 3 match ups where you picked from the same artist, and I think he also edged you out with the remaining.

Nutted up. DeLima.

Toss Up (Seriously, they have four of the same artists. Fuck tha Police is probably my favorite song in either group, but Patience is probably my least favorite. I give up...)
Rangi (Sign "O" the Times, One Tree Hill, Killing Moon :heartbeat: )
Spenno (I like more songs in DSB's group, but I like One Hundred Years and That's When I Reach For My Revolver more than anything in his group)
Varis (Just cause he picked People Who Died)
