Sleater-Kinney – Rollercoaster vs. Tiger Trap - Puzzle Pieces

That bridge and the wave of distortion have been stuck in my head since I first heard S-K. Definitely Carrie Brownstein's best moment. It's my fav off of Woods but not by much. Puzzle Pieces was fun but it was like so many I've heard before plus I'm legally obliged to vote for my track.

Bikini Kill - Alien She vs. Mark Hollis- The Daily Planet

Well I didn't see it making past the first round when I nom'd it bc you guys are dorks. There are probably more accessible BK songs but few as badass. Perfect angry sarcastic flourishes with that tight and on target music. The entire album is up there with DK's output as some of the best punk rock ever. MH was really the other end of the spectrum and I find myself less and less interested in music like this.

Sleater-Kinney – Rollercoaster vs. Tiger Trap - Puzzle Pieces

hoo lawdy, "Rollercoaster" is a jam man. The Woods is definitely one of the great swansong albums of a great and forever underrated band.

If you really wanna listen to a something that you'll forget seconds after you listen to it, then Tiger Trap's "Puzzle Pieces" brother.

Yeah, punk is put at an unfair advantage with the setup of this kind of tourney. You really have to immerse yourself in a band to really get the distinction out of them since the majority of them all sound the same through a big picture listen, especially around that period.

Mark Hollis has the greatest retard voice of all time. Not as strong as Talk Talk material, but it has similar intents with the execution at least halfway there.

Don't feel strongly either way, so I'll vote for the underdog.

I don't like Iron and Wine very much, but I fucking hate "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", so it wins by default.

The Poison nomination was a joke, right?

sheesh, out of all the songs in this set, the iron and wine song isn't on spotify? What is this a C-side? Did Rashed pick for pave?

Ternipe - Muro Shavo vs. Thee Oh Sees - Enemy Destruct

Surprised how much I liked the Ternipe track. It's a little bit of a standard singalongy thing in its hook, but I like the slight melancholic pull to how it's delivered. Usually those types are happy and anthemic, but this was kind of somber once the backup came along.

Yeah the psych garage rock thing just doesn't hit me as much on active listens. Thee Oh Sees puts out good genre material consistently, but this kind of music works way better in a live setting with a good alcohol buzz going. Then you can just sway-dance lazily and let the layers just wash over you to get that dizzying but liberating headrush.

Iron and Wine - Black Candle vs. Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Bleh, this Iron and Wine track is a bonus track for a reason, it's passable but totally non-lasting. Pretty much any of the tracks from Creek, Endless or Shepherd's Dog would've been a far better choice. It only wins cuz it's again Poison, but be ready to lose in the next round Sam Beam, track is about as quality as Jim Beam.

I was actually gonna vote for this for shiggles, but only cuz I was hoping this wasn't inducted from Fincher. But I think he did vote for it and that's just too cliche for me to take. It's the equivalent of like me wearing a Hawaiian shirt today. The song is horrid tho. I mean when I hear a recorded audible sighing to start off a ballad, then ho boy.

uh hallelujah
