I initially had that but it’s basically straight bubblegum pop so I didn’t think it fit

But Shimmer fits?

Yes

Look, I'm excited as shit for this tournament. It's your show. I'm down with whatever. But that makes no sense to me.

I can see it. "Shimmer" is grungier, has louder guitars, and has that gritted-teeth vocal sound

"The Reason" could easily pass for a pop-punk power-ballad in the vein of "Perfect" by Simple Plan

What Plat said.

Like I said, it's LV's world. I'm just excited to live in it. Let's do this!

The only thing that The Reason could compare to is Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park, since that song showed where Linkin Park would head after Meteora (boring adult contemporary pop music).

Is shimmer is in, it should win the whole thing

I goddamn LOVE that song. For so many reasons.

I will be...very surprised if Shimmer wins

Oh, it won't. Not a chance. But it's one of my favorite songs in the tournament. My tastes usually don't jibe well with RM at large. I think there's a greater chance of it getting knocked out in round one than winning the whole thing.

Wake me up inside

Jorge, no one can save you from the nothing you've become.

That's cool. I was in a band in the early '00s and we played a lot of this shit cause thats what people wanted to hear. That song went over well but I'll leave it up to you what belongs. I hated playing this stuff.

First time I heard Shimmer I thought it was Dave Matthews.

Okay, yay/nay inclusion opinions please:

Hoobastank - The Reason
Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit
More Static-X songs
The Union Underground - Turn Me on Mr. Deadman

I'm in favor of including all of them.

Not that my take means much to you.

Also,... what about Ugly Kid Joe and/or Green Jello?
