The National song is good. Giant Steps blew me away.

I'll probably vote for the other match-ups later.

LOL I can't believe people are voting for shit like any Television song over f*cking Jesus Christ Pose, one of the most brutal, downright ferocious pieces of music ever recorded.


Really you slag Radiohead and the Rolling Stones all the time but you like Soundgarden? Not that liking an group gives someone a right to look down on other peoples taste but at least with the Beatles you weren't living in a house made out of safety glass.

OutKast - Funky Ride
vs
Joy Division - Shadowplay

Don't like voting against Outkast and they have multiple other tracks that would win this matchup but Shadowplay is Joy Division's best and it clearly wins here.

Les Savy Fav - Hold On To Your Genre (incorrectly listed as "The Sweat Descends")
vs
Opeth - Isolation Years

A top 100 track for me now and a wonderful piece of music that this tournament led me to rediscover as I had kind of forgotten about it. The other track had no chance.

Modest Mouse - 3rd Planet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsnELWjsCsA
vs
Santana - Revelations http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv1TpJ6tOQM

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down
vs
The Band-Acadian Driftwood

This Johnny Cash song hits like an absolute gut punch. So simple musically and yet so damn effective. It beat Bastard and, while it still isn't better, this is the only one of the matchups where a song of mine lost that I can legitimately say I have no beef with anyone picking it because it definitely has tons of merit.

Meanwhile the Band are nice but not even in the same league.

The National - Friend of Mine
vs
John Coltrane - Giant Steps

Giant Steps is by no means Coltrane's best but Friend of Mine isn't one of the National's best either and weak the National loses to weak Coltrane. That's just the rule.

Bit of a stretch to call Giant Steps "weak".

Post subject:  Re: DDD Songs Tournament - R2 (vote Soundgarden > Television

actually i kind of agree... for me it is at the same time one of the most legendary solos in jazz history and yet overrated as far as coltrane's catalogue goes since he has many compositions and solos at least as good (and even much better), though i'll admit a bias in favor of ballads - dear lord, naima, after the rain - but his are so beautiful they're just to die for

I agree with George. It is weak by his own lofty standards.

Both great new songs to me, but metal needs to be repped.

Maybe so, but in absolute terms it's still excellent. A perfect way to kick off arguably his most consistently brilliant album.
