Music Cup Round 8 - War!

by **ADMIN** Mon 05 Sep 2011, 9:25 am

After the murmurings of discntent last week from picking a stinker of a round then I've given you all the chance to vent your frustrations with War! (or anything to do with fighting).

As always the poll will remain open for 5 days and pick the three songs you think either are best for war or you just prefer them!

Nineteen - Paul Hardcastle
Mandatory Suicide - Slayer
Rock the Casbah - The Clash
Dance Commander - Electric Six
One - Metallica
If you tolerate this, then your children will be next - Manics
Holiday - GreenDay
Ride of the Valkyries - Wagner
Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival
B.Y.O.B. - System Of A Down
War - System of a Down
Two Tribes - Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones
All These Things That I've Done - The Killers
Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Machine
Fight for the Right - Beastie Boyz
Hero - Skillet

Congrats to whoever picked Wagner!

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Mon 05 Sep 2011, 9:33 am

Agreed, Wagner deserves to win this at a canter.

by Adam D Mon 05 Sep 2011, 9:53 am

Can I ask regarding the Beastie Boys song - is that really about War?

by Davie Mon 05 Sep 2011, 9:59 am

I voted for:

Manics
CCR
Stones

by **ADMIN** Mon 05 Sep 2011, 10:16 am

I could have voted for quite a number this round, glad the Stones track is in, surprised no-one picked Paint it Black as well.

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Mon 05 Sep 2011, 10:22 am

I voted for;

Ride of the Valkyries
If you tolerate this...
and Dance Commander.

Just goes to show I don't listen to lyrics properly. Never would have thought of Gimme Shelter or Paint it Black as war or fighting songs. Perhaps more surprising that if a Stones song was going to be picked that Street Fighting Man wasn't the choice

by **ADMIN** Mon 05 Sep 2011, 10:44 am

Paint it Black I always think of as war related as it's on the end credits to Full Metal Jacket.

by Beer Mon 05 Sep 2011, 10:45 am

Dance Commander? Really?

by Adam D Mon 05 Sep 2011, 10:46 am

Can I also point out that Wagner was anti semetic and the favourite composer of Adolf Hitler.

Voting for Ride of the Valkyries is like being a Nazi sympathiser. That is all....

So it's basically a vote for Hero?

It's immense - and oddly, I'm not the only one who has voted for it.

"I went to the store to get more - FIRE - to start the war".

by Gregers Mon 05 Sep 2011, 11:18 am

Manics
Killers
Clash

Correct!

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Mon 05 Sep 2011, 11:26 am

This is bollocking typical - the only time someone beats me to a Manics track and it leads the pack.

I pick them for every other round and it finishes bottom every time! It's not even one of their best songs.

Pusheads

by **ADMIN** Mon 05 Sep 2011, 11:29 am

I did consider their cover of Suicide is Painless.

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Mon 05 Sep 2011, 11:37 am

I considered Revol.

by President Trump Mon 05 Sep 2011, 12:50 pm

Slayer
Metallica
SOAD

by GG Mon 05 Sep 2011, 1:05 pm

i should have known better than picking a 60's song.

by **ADMIN** Mon 05 Sep 2011, 1:55 pm

Dance Commander in the lead!!!

by Adam D Mon 05 Sep 2011, 2:04 pm

If this music cup has taught me one thing, it is, wherever possible, pick a Green Day song and never a female vocalist song.

by **ADMIN** Mon 05 Sep 2011, 2:07 pm

Don't know on that, I've won a round with Adele!

Seriously?

COME ON!

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Mon 05 Sep 2011, 5:42 pm

Woah woah woah woah woah - dance commander had 7 votes when I left work, and now I'm on the train home its gone back down to 6.

Who's tactical voting? That's cheating in my book!!!

by Adam D Mon 05 Sep 2011, 5:59 pm

If it makes you feel better - mine went down one as well in the last hour!

There is defo some tactical voting on here going on..

by GG Mon 05 Sep 2011, 6:03 pm

Only one vote for Creedence Clearwater Revival!? guess i should have picked Tinie Tempah or Dappy or some other garbage like that

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

by **ADMIN** Tue 06 Sep 2011, 10:46 pm

Boooo?

You've got 10 flippin votes!

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Wed 07 Sep 2011, 7:34 am

I know - I can't believe it!!! I thought this round was another last place giveaway. Very Happy

Should be 11 though - someone cheated, make no mistake.

by Adam D Wed 07 Sep 2011, 8:35 am

Dont get me started on cheating - I have lost another vote over night!

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Wed 07 Sep 2011, 8:38 am

You have - you're right!

Is this what it's always like at the business end of the poll? Corrupt? I wouldn't know, I've never been here before

by sodhat Wed 07 Sep 2011, 10:13 am

Can the cancel/change vote feature be changed by chance? It may remove an element of the tactical voting going on.

Not that it bothers me, my song is middle of the pack and unlikely to trouble anyone!

by Adam D Wed 07 Sep 2011, 10:19 am

I will turn it off, if the people who cancelled my song, revote for it first!

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Wed 07 Sep 2011, 10:34 am

Yeah

by **ADMIN** Wed 07 Sep 2011, 10:51 am

Well this round is well underway so it's about time we had the choice for the next one...

It will be...

Animals!

Any song that has a type of animal in the title. This can be a specific animal or a type (so both Eagle or Bird are allowed).
The only exception to this is I'm not allowing humans or other terms for human to be allowed.

As usual PM me your top three choices!

by Adam D Wed 07 Sep 2011, 10:55 am

does anyone know if Green Day have done a song about animals?

Actually really struggling to think up one myself for this next round, the obvious one IMO has already gone and I do expect it to walk the round.

by Guest Wed 07 Sep 2011, 2:08 pm

Catch the Pigeon theme tune?

by Adam D Wed 07 Sep 2011, 2:14 pm

Anything ny the Dogs Damour or Cat Stevens

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Wed 07 Sep 2011, 3:06 pm

Was that my one Hero?

by Bull Wed 07 Sep 2011, 3:09 pm

Hero? are mine ok?

by Guest Wed 07 Sep 2011, 5:40 pm

Can think of a few interesting songs for the next category, I hope someone picks my favourite one from the list though Laugh

by Nay Wed 07 Sep 2011, 9:00 pm

Poor round from me this time, dont think i have even gained from the tactical voting

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Thu 08 Sep 2011, 10:11 am

When does this round end? I can't believe the Six are still winning.

I wish Dick Valentine could see this!
