Music Cup 2015 Round 6: Cigarettes & Alcohol

by **Hero** Fri 11 Sep - 13:03

Results from Round 5!

Head and Bush come first!

Yes in the battle of Body Parts the melancholic Radiohead managed to hang onto the coat-tails of my inspired last minute choice of Kate 'au natural' Bush's Wuthering Heights. Samo gains 10 points to put him into the mix as we enter the later rounds.

A plethora of runner-ups then with the top two of Compelling & Dick_Ragless both scoring strongly with Arctics Monkeys (most overrated band of the past 20 years) and the cockrock ballad by Cutting Crew, air guitars at the ready Wrasslin fans. Davie's Fat Bottomed Girls and Superfly's choice of Dolphin's fave quiff haired Mancunian fill out the runner up spots.

Tino and Adam both score 4 points with Reef and Meatloaf but is that enough to keep them near the top come the closing rounds? Julius's pick of REM's Everybody Hurts has us reaching for the razorblades to selfharm, CJB's pick of Streets has Rowley reaching for a baseball bat to inflict it.

Oh and Galted had 1 person vote for Up your Bum. Well done sir.

So the scores are...

Name	Total Score
Rick_Dagless	36
Compelling & Rich	36
Mind the Windows Tino	32
Hero	28
Adam D	27
Samo	26
Davie	21
Stella	20
CJB	18
Superflyweight	16
Dancingweeman	14
Trussmann66	11
SeanMichaels	9
JuliusHMarx	8
Rowley	8
Hammersmith Harrier	7
Hibbz	6
Trebs	4
Dave667	3
Bob_the_Job	2
Galted	0
Nadeem2099	0

Next round will be...Countries & Cities, songs or Artists that contain either the name of a Country or City! PM me the usual!

by **superflyweight** Fri 11 Sep - 13:07

My pick is by some distance the best song up there. It will be heartbreaking to see it squashed by Champagne Supernova which, by any standard, is a dreadful song.

by Stella Fri 11 Sep - 13:08

Haven't voted for my own, so have gone, Pulp, oasis, and the verve.

You're smashing Jeff though.

Small victories and all that.

by **Hero** Fri 11 Sep - 13:13

I've voted for your song Super, first ever heard it on the Doors Soundtrack album and loved it.

Tallest dwarf contest.

Cheers Hero - you're number 1 in my list.

by Trebs Fri 11 Sep - 13:21

I hope people watch Eurovision...

by Hammersmith harrier Fri 11 Sep - 13:38

What is it with god damn bloody Oasis, gone for God, Thin Lizzy and Nirvana.

by hornbloweroafc Fri 11 Sep - 13:50

Where are the Macc Lads on this list????

by **Hero** Fri 11 Sep - 13:52

I was tempted, but I didn't know if many others would know of them.

by hornbloweroafc Fri 11 Sep - 13:54

at least you would of got one vote from me Very Happy

by **Galted** Fri 11 Sep - 13:59

I have received as many votes in the first hour of this round ad I did for the duration of the Culture Cup.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 11 Sep - 13:59

I love a bit of the Macc Lads but thought it was just a Cheshire thing...

I'm from Oldham so it might be more of a North West thing?

Sounds like it then mate...

by **seanmichaels** Fri 11 Sep - 14:29

Another one....

by Dr Shoe Fri 11 Sep - 14:31

Why are some of these songs the same as the ones in previous rounds? Shoerly you shouldnt be allowed repeats? Both Thin Lizzy and Oasis have previously featured

by **superflyweight** Fri 11 Sep - 15:00

As have Splodgenessabounds but it is a great tune and it should ideally feature in every round.

Tell me, Galted, how many men have you bummed in 2015?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 11 Sep - 15:20

D12, Pulp, Snoop.

by nadeem2099 Fri 11 Sep - 15:21

Good to see my pick getting some love here.

by Samo Fri 11 Sep - 15:23

Almost lumped for Whiskey in the Jar but thought there was a rule on duplicate entries.

Not that far behind so I cant complain too much.

by dancingweeman Fri 11 Sep - 15:28

Not sure which of my choices I got as all 3 are up there.

Will hold off from my voting until I know to maintain the integrity of the competition.

You may as well vote, we lost that from round 1.

Unlike the Culture Cup and Culture 2.0 which were founded on integrity and respect.

Indeed, Adam.

There is a lot Hero could learn about running a successful V2 tournament.

by nadeem2099 Fri 11 Sep - 16:14

I didn't vote on my own pick. I am as trustworthy as they come. The truth shall set you free!

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri 11 Sep - 17:15

I always vote for my own because it's always one of the best 3. I feel very free now.

I'm from Macclesfield, it's certainly a Macc thing.

You got your first choice unless I notified you.

And why are you on this page when you're a 2nd account of someone else?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 11 Sep - 18:28

Don't question the man who has been waiting patiently to put "shoerly" into a post.

by compelling and rich Sat 12 Sep - 12:10

will go against all you lot and say i love oasis, but then again i am a manc and brings back fond memories growing up in the 90's

have to say im rather happy with my 3 for next round, difficult choosing which one as my number 1. didnt even get round to thinking about countries

by nadeem2099 Sat 12 Sep - 12:18

Quick question, how many songs are you allowed to nominate?

by Adam D Sat 12 Sep - 14:20

You pick your fave 3

by nadeem2099 Sat 12 Sep - 22:46

Thanks xx

by The Womble Tue 15 Sep - 14:46

Voted for the 3 best songs up there, Pulp, Oasis and Clapton.

There is nothing wrong with Oasis, they are one of the best and most influential bands this country has produced. People only say they don't like them because they think it's cool to not like them. Fact is, Noel Gallagher wrote some absolute classics that are far better than some of the cack that gets nominated on these polls.

Yep, I say that because I really care whether a bunch of strangers I will never meet think I'm cool.

I just don't like them because they were (and still are) a bag of sh*te. Monobrowed, parka wearing bags of sh*te.

I like you Womble, but you need to boil your head you cretin.

Stick a pair of Hi-tecs on and you've described Galted on a Saturday night.

I like you too Tino, but you can go boil your balls you p*ss drinking gobsh*te.

l*l.

Harsh on Galted. He wears Goretex not parkas.

by **Hero** Tue 15 Sep - 15:25

Still waiting on a number of nominations for the next round folks

Trussman66
SeanMichaels
JuliusHMarx
HammersmithHarrier
Hibbz

by Hibbz Wed 16 Sep - 16:59

Sorry - Selections submitted now.

Voted for Pulp, Velvet Underground and Grandmaster Flash. All great songs and considerably better than my selection which has understandably received a Bronx cheer.

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri 18 Sep - 9:08

Next round today! C,mon Hero, let's Marvin Gaye and get on with it. Or something like that.

by Rowley Fri 18 Sep - 9:17

Come on Team Tina.

by Adam D Fri 18 Sep - 9:29

I think all songs already picked deserve at least a 4 point penalty.
