Best Decade Tournament - 90s - Numbers wins!

[Lament]

If you're gonna pick a Billy Bragg song it bloody well better have something about 'fascists' in it. And this does, so I'm good there.

Are there Billy Bragg songs that don't mention fascists?

[William Bloke]

Probably a fair point

[Birds in Hell]

Norm takes:

Tom Waits - Earth Died Screaming

[Heathen]

I've PMed LetMeSleep

[LetMeSleep]

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - The Ship Song

The stuff you said before shot Rangi and how you like him no matter what he picks.

Yeah, my feelings about Rangi are too strong to be changed by a bad pick. He's an awesome guy who has some pretty awesome tastes to go with it. I never said anything about voting.

He meant are we voting for the poster we like best or are we voting for Lament.

Haha. With a single first round victory to my name, I think it's clear that no one is voting for Lament.

In my book, that means you're doing something right.

The best part is that in the round I did win, the person I beat (THIP) declared I only won because I'm more "popular."

I did that? Sorry, man!

I think it was more of a 'RMers aren't too fond of me' thing. I did have a kick-ass team, and yours kinda sucked, but it was still an asshole move, nonetheless. I'm just an oblivious hippie stoner fucky fukc...

I'm awol today too. If this thing hits me, just skip me and I'll catch up tonight.

I believe that makes it my turn.

Time to make what I believe Lament would call a "show me some personality" pick, so I'm going to side step a lot of the other bands that I equally love and pick a Dallas-area band that I've loved for 15 years now. They were on the edge of the "alt country" scene with their 1997 release Too Far To Care. Subsequent releases would lean more towards either straight up rock or even power pop, and lost just the hint of twang on most of the TFTC tracks. I dig all of their stuff, but TFTC is my favorite record from the 97's and for this list, I'm picking album opener (and traditional concert encore-ender) Time Bomb.



Old 97's - Time Bomb

Great pick. I didn't really get into them until my friend, Salim, started producing their music. My favorite albums are Blame It On Gravity and The Grand Theater. Not too big on their latest release, though.

Don't worry about it 'pain, happens to me every tourney. Good to see someone sticking it to The Man.
