Music Cup 2015 Round 8: Hundreds & Thousands

Results!

Two big shocks this week in the scoring with Rick_Dagless and myself blowing our chances of a win with poor choices. We went old school with Frank Sinatra and the Beach Boys and it blew up in our faces.
CJB's choice meanwhile of Straight Outta Compton romped home with 10 points, is there a secret Crips and Bloods section on the site?
Compelling meanwhile is Mr Consistency, apart from his Elton John episode he's scored a minimum of 6 points in each round.
Adam creeps up the board with menace into 3rd place overall with the soft rock Boston, welcome to dullsville.
Then there's a load of guff fighting it out for the scraps, countries, cities, continents, jeez how difficult is it for you lot to understand a basic principle of a round, one round I'll just going to say pick a song on anything and one of you will still balls that up. Like herding cats at times.

Next Round
War & Peace - Any song in which the title or artist references war or peace!

I've added up the new round though haven't had Sean's or DancingWeeMan's nominations, if I get them I'll add them in as and when.

Only like two, so have only voted for two. I'm a maverick.

Gone for Blur, Nena, and the White Stripes.

I picked my original 3 picks

The Beethoven is the greatest piece of music ever written and should win this by a country mile.

It got my vote Super. Prefer the second movement but still head and shoulders above anything else on there.

C*cks.

There's also a good chance that it's Galted's pick and that man deserves a vote.

A massive amount of respect to the person who voted for my relatively obscure Mogwai song choice.

It is almost certainly Galted's choice, nothing else on there says Galted quite like that one

.

Very touching and correct chaps. Went for Nena and Blur, haven't heard of any of the others.

Would have gone for 99 Problems if it was the Ice-T version.

The Chuck Wood song is the one Dexy's Midnight Runners covered on their brilliant debut album Searching for the Young Soul Rebels Galted.

Rowley wrote:Young Soul Rebels Galted.

So that's where he got the name from.

Galted is the ultimate young soul rebel Tina, they were instantly recognisable by the Hi Tecs and Jack Wolfskin jackets.

Galted is about as rebellious as Trevor McDonald.

F*ck you, Tino. I just drilled a hole in my desk with the brand new Black and Decker I ordered from Amazon. You don't get more rebellious than that.

Is it a peep hole so you can look at your own c*ck?

This is a man with an Eastern European missus Tina. A man who wears a T shirt saying I can't speak Icelandic, in Icelandic!. He is tearing up the rule book on a daily basis.

Has he also fitted a magnifying glass into it?

Galted works in I.T. Just let those words sink in for a minute. Have any of you ever seen how those wildmen roll. Clearly you haven't because you would not be so quick to mock otherwise.

Damn right, Jeff. I'm even thinking of growing a beard.

Anyone else thinking Noel Edmonds?

I am now

I do not like any of these songs other than my own so I'm in a quandary as to what to vote for......

Vote for mine Hibbz. I have not secured a vote yet, it would mean a lot to me.

Rowley wrote:Vote for mine Hibbz. I have not secured a vote yet, it would mean a lot to me.

Desperate.

Too right. I have picked a proper song for the next round. Will be genuinely gutted if that performs true to form, great song by one of my favourite artists ever.

Okay Rowley I'll vote for yours as long as you confirm it isn't Blur, Eminem, Jay Zee, Lennon, Machine Head, Mogwai, Muse, Ponce, or anything where the number is written in letters as opposed to numerals.

It is written in letters I'm afraid.

No can do then sorry but I think I may have eliminated enough selections to be able to vote and not have to vote for my own.

The War Song by Culture Club?

Blur has way too many votes. It should shed seven.

Yeah!

Not me.

Truly awful round. I don't mind some songs on there, but don't really like them. Galted and Three Dog night are the two i happily chose, Jay Z got the other by default.

Clarification required for next round. Does the song title or artist have to specifically include the words "war" or peace" or do they just have to allude to war or peace?

Just allude to.

Just choose your bloody song.  People will either vote or not.

You're not even in the conversation for the winners so what does it matter.

I'm glad he asked, as I was struggling!

Whoever chose "99 problems" needs a slap as it was originally done by Ice T on the "Home Invasion" album. Also, "A Thousand Lies" by Machine head is better than "Ten Ton Hammer"...Hammersmith, I'm looking at you here!!!!!!!!

Voting, huh! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again!

I need a slap then (apologies, my guilty pleasure is Jay Z, which I'm sure will have 'Rowley' bearing back his gums in aghast).

Stella wrote:I'm glad he asked, as I was struggling!

"Peace Sells...but who's buying" by MEGADETH
"War Ensemble" by SLAYER
"Bitter Peace" by SLAYER (not a good song)
"War is Coming" by SIX FEET UNDER

to name but a few

Consider yourself rebuked but if your aim was to antagonize ROWLEY then carry on.

War - Low Rider
