Song Wars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Two songs battle it out in this spinoff of everybody's favorite thread, "Album Wars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"!


There are only two rules:

1) Each battle must include songs by different artists.
2) Listen to both songs before voting. Don't judge the song by the band name or genre, just listen to it and pick the one you like better!


PM me your nominations. The first matchup:


Battle 90s Indie:

Modest Mouse 0
Spoon 1

so that's what Spoon sounds like

Modest Mouse - 0
Spoon - 2

this looks like fun.

Hm...

Modest Mouse: 1
Spoon: 2

Never really been the biggest Spoon fan.

I don't care for MM's singer, but even less so on their early work

Spoon: 3
MM: 1

i love modest mouse and hate sad sappy sucker.

It's got some of my favorite MM songs... :laughing:

you should listen to more then. the only song that i would call very good from that album is worms vs birds.

I've heard every album and Sad Sappy Sucker is just my kind of music. I also love 'Dukes Up, 'Classy Plastic Lumber' (love the way he does the vocals through an old cell phone), and 'From Point A to Point B'...

me too

I actually don't like either of these songs.

I'm a bigger fan of MM than I am of Spoon, though both have some great material. Neither of these songs is great, but I'll vote for Spoon on this one.

Meh...I guess Modest Mouse song was more interesting

Modest Mouse 2
Spoon 4

Modest Mouse 3
Spoon 4

Spoon is really hit or miss with me.

Spoon's song is less annoying than Modest Mouse! Onward!

(I would have voted for Modest Mouse, but I don't want it to be a tie and I'm ready to post a new battle)

This one is our first nomination.


Battle Boise Indie:

Built to Spill is my favorite band ever but I'll probably be checking out some more Caustic Resin pretty soon.

Built to Spill 1
Caustic Resin 0

Built To Spill 2
Caustic Resin 0

Built To Spill 3
Caustic Resin 0

Well, I had never heard Caustic Resin but that song was really good so I'll give it a vote.

Built to Spill 3
Caustic Resin 1

i love both these bands and songs....but i think this is one a few examples of just how good Caustic Resin was.....Built To Spill is a great band and there are several example of that....but every time i here that Caustic resin song....i feel like it's Built To Spill's older Schopenhauer loving brother

Built To Spill - 3
Caustic Resin - 2

Built To Spill - 4
Caustic Resin - 2

Built To Spill - 5
Caustic Resin - 2

I'd never heard either band prior, and given BtS's fan's, I never expected to like them, but that song wasn't nearly as ****ty as I thought it would be.

CR sounds a little to grunge for my liking. And the singer sounds like the guy from Soul Asylum.

Haha, I didn't realize Built to Spill really had a defined fan base.

The Caustic Resin song is pretty good but I'm a Built to Spill fanboy and I like The Plan. Would have preferred a studio version though.

Built To Spill - 6
Caustic Resin - 2

'The Plan' by Built to Spill brings me back to some good times.

Built To Spill - 7
Caustic Resin - 2

Built to Spill takes it easily. Not surprisingly, since it was matched up against a relatively unknown, and Keep It Like a Secret is the shit.

Get me your nominations, folks, or you'll have to listen to more OK Go songs, and I know nobody wants to do that.

Battle 00s Mainstream "Indie" :laughing: :

The Killers 1
OK Go 0

One of the best Killers songs, I don't think much of OK Go.

I fucking hate the killers. Damn you for making me listen to that ear-damaging song. I don't listen to OK Go either, simply because I don't know anything about them. But I found the song enjoyable. They also did that song that had treadmills in the video, right? Much different sound if so, and that wasn't a bad song either.

The Killers - 1
OK Go - 1

Yeah, that was them. This song has a really cool music video too, but for some reason there are just as many people who hate OK Go's videos as there are that enjoy them. It doesn't make sense.

James: did you actually listen to both songs? I'm not calling you out, just curious, because you would have had to have perfect timing to post eight minutes after me and listen to 7:30 worth of music...

No, I already know both songs. Is that okay? I wasn't sure about the rules on that.

Sure, if you've already heard both why listen again? I'm just surprised YOU have heard that OK Go song. Props to you... :thumb:

OK Go can be pretty enjoyable when you're in the right mood. A couple of years ago I loved them.

I think on the whole their new sound sucks and the new album sucks but 'WTF' is an exception. That song kicks ass...

bump

I vote Killers, dunno what that makes the score.

2-2?

3-1, I think?

having never really heard either of these bands....except if i remember right the killers had a bit of a hit a few years back....i enjoyed the OK Go song more

Killers - 2
OK Go - 2

Score is 2-2, if I'm not mistaken.

This is a tough decision. Had you asked me which band I like more before "Day and Age", I would have said the Killers. Unfortunately, that album and the song "Human" ruined the band for me.

OK Go - 3
Killers - 2

I listened to the new OKGo song fully intent on voting for it.



OK Go - 3
Killers - 3

What a piece of ****.

these matchups have been shit.

+1

Maybe it's a time for a new battle and call them equally shitty.
