or they could just post the battles themselves and cut out the middle man, provided they have the good sense to make sure one isn't going already

Well, I sent one to TCS so I'll just go ahead and post it myself. I doubt my bestest pal will mind...

Battle 80s funk rock sophomore releases:

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Freaky Styley (1985)

vs.

Fishbone - Truth and Soul (1988)

So, the originater of the thread claimed he had it all worked out to eventually proclaim a champion Album (or Artist/Band--that could work too), but didn't see it through. It seems we would need someone to establish some ground rules (is it best 2 out of 3? best 21 out of 40?-- I think somewhere in the middle like best 8 out of 15), and keep track of the winners for the next level of brackets (I'm thinking of a March madness college basketball type thing). I know I'm a newbie so let me know if this request is out of bounds. Perhaps the Rolling Stone List of the 100 best albums might be a starting point?

I don't mind.
I dislike both so I will abstain.
I'd say Truth and Soul was a little better cos RHCP aren't very good.
But yeah, abstaining.

Violent & Funky · 12-13-2010, 12:07 AM

I didn't know it was possible to dislike both!

And if you have heard both why can't you pick a winner?

Freaky Styley kicks ass!

Chili Peppers: 1
Fishbone: 0

For what its worth, viewing public, let me say that this thread is a great idea but its a one-way street.

The set up isn't hard but its a pain in the ass, and you'll get 5 to 7 members to participate with one sentence lines.

There was a time when the boards use to come in and brawl over whatever. Look back tot he early ones, its all there. Now, you can't get a fight from:

"[Album A]. Not a fan of [Album B]"

I feel like I'm bitching about things like this all the time but its true. If people think this game sucks, I highly encourage you to make one up with better participation, but truth be told its never easy to do.

And for god sakes don't over-regulate that damn thing. When Boo Boo ran it we had obnoxious guidelines that made it unfun.
