Paj! Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Ok, so rather than clutter up the forum, everything will go down in this one thread, which will eventually be umpteen pages long etc. RULES; Basically, 63 (and one randomly chosen song) tracks have been nominated by our forum members to go head to head against one another. All matches have been ranomly decided using a number randomizer thingie, sp it's fair. 1. Before voting for which song you choose, you MUST listen to both songs in FULL. If you see a band you love against an unknown, that is not an excuse to instantly vote for that band. Another point of this whole game is to expose new music to people. Base it truthfully on your favourite, not on who you THINK'll be your favourite. 2. No flaming, not that I imagine there will be. 3. If all 3 of your choices are knocked out, please continue to post! You agreed to do so by nominating. Plus it's good for expanding musical horizons. 4. have fun, it's a game blah blah JUST VOTE. 5. Most matches will last for a few days, or whenever I get to a computer. Deal with it. ---------- MATCH 1 "The Song Remains The Same" by Led Zeppelin vs. "Drops Of Jupiter" - Train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Drops of Jupiter is no longer available for me for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chairdriver Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'm going to vote for Led Zeppelin. There's no denying that Drops Of Jupiter is a good song, but Led Zeppelin is just so much more interesting to listen to. Maybe it's because DoJ was horrendously overplayed, and I've never heard that LZ song before, but I just found myself enjoying the LZ song much more. Plus, I'm not that big a fan of Train's vocalist's voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Personally I vote for Led Zeppelin. LZ : 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 not really into either, led zeppelin has some cool guitar though, thats me pick Led Zep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I've never even heard of Train before, and it's a damn good song. However, I maintain that The Song Remains The Same is one of the best pieces of guitar work ever, and it's the 'Zep... (And they're my nomination...) Led Zeppelin On a side note, I've just looked over the full list, and I can tell you that at some point I'm going to have make some very difficult decisions. There's also plenty of songs I've never heard, so this'll be funsies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zell Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Compared to TSRTS, Drops of Jupiter felt predictable and kinda started to drag. Maybe I need to listen to it a few more times to appreciate it more. Vote: Led Zep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twozzok Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Gonna have to be Led Zeppelin, that Train song just didn't do anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoDesiato Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Led Zeppelin. That Train song is lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Now I love Drops of Jupiter but compared with that Led Zeppelin song, it just felt constrained and harder to sit and listen to. So my vote is for Led Zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Looks like I'm on the loosing side... Train are getting my vote, love that song, whereas that Led Zep song just seemed to go on for far too long with not much interesting happening!

Cube Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'd go with Train. The Song Remains The Same didn't grab my attention at all whereas Drops Of Jupiter is a song I love that I'd totally forgotten about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-likes-trees Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Im gonna go with Train. Though that Zep song was pretty goood, tough choice. By the way, three things: - Do you reckon we should just skip the rounds which include our own nominations? - Whats gonna happen when theres a tie? - This is going to take ages you know :P Like, months. Could have 2 matches going at once maybe? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Ill vote for Train. Hadn't heard Led Zeppelin song before but listened to it in full and thought it was ok But liked Train better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 LZ: 8 Train: 4 - Do you reckon we should just skip the rounds which include our own nominations? No, as I'd hope you'd be open-minded...maybe you'll prefer the other song. If not, you can still support your own nomination. - Whats gonna happen when theres a tie? I need to set a deadline. Actually..fully answered in the next bit... - This is going to take ages you know :P Like, months. Could have 2 matches going at once maybe? Just a thought. Yeah, I'm gonna make different threads. That's how it's been done on toher forums, but someone said it should just be one big one, but no... THREADS FOR ALL! We'll just keep this first match in here. Can mod retitle this "Music Warz! Match 1" or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'm gonna go with Drops of Jupiter. TSRTS seemed to drag on a lot. Never really been a fan of Zeppelin either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hmmm gonna have to go with Train I think. They're both great songs, I'd just say that Train are probably more suited to my tastes, and I could see myself listening to that more so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
