King Kamala Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" (Marvin wins this one out for me as I think "Respect" is a tad bit more overplayed and I like Marvin a tad more overall than Aretha) "A Day In The Life" "God Only Knows" "Gimme Shelter"
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 GROUP A "Respect" by Aretha Franklin "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye GROUP B "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles GROUP C "My Generation" by The Who "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys GROUP D "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan "Gimme Shelter" by Rolling Stones
Guest Czecherbear Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" I feel a champ here. good. "A Day in the Life" how the fuck did shitty CCR make it to the eight? ridic. "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys because "My Generation" is a shit song "Gimme Shelter" by Rolling Stones fuck yeah
Jebus Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 GROUP A "Respect" by Aretha Franklin vs "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye GROUP B "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival vs "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles GROUP C "My Generation" by The Who vs "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys GROUP D "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan vs "Gimme Shelter" by Rolling Stones
BUTT Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" I've heard "Respect" too many damn times in my life. "A Day in the Life" I never liked Creedence or their expansive catalog of identical songs. No way "God Only Knows" Forever linked with Kevin and Winnie's breakup at the science museum. Why not "Like a Rolling Stone" Fuck "Gimme Shelter" that shit blows.
Guest Smues Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 GROUP A "Respect" by Aretha Franklin Toughest pick of the round, but the vote goes to Aretha. vs "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye GROUP B "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival I wish a Beatles song I liked had made it this far. vs "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles - GROUP C "My Generation" by The Who - vs "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys Easy choice. GROUP D "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan Why not vs "Gimme Shelter" by Rolling Stones
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye - Q: Would this have gotten so far if California Raisins commercials weren't an ever-present staple of our collective youths? Food for thought. "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles - "Fortunate Son" is cool but it's just totally outclassed here. "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys "Gimme Shelter" by The Rolling Stones

Edwin MacPhisto Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 GROUP A "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye. Marvin's really awesome and there's a lot more going on in this one than in "Respect." GROUP B "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles. It's gonna be this vs. God Only Knows for the win, which is pretty unsurprising, I think. GROUP C "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys GROUP D "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan. "Gimme Shelter" actually is just an okay Stones song in my book. The "it's just a shot away" lady vocals get pretty old by the 7th or so time around.
Copper Feel Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 Please don't vote against 'Like a Rolling Stone' people! It's the last truly deserving song left. 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine' - Still a good song musically even if I'm not too big on it. 'A Day in the Life' - But really, 'Hey Jude' is much better. 'God Only Knows' - Brian Wilson's songwriting ages well like a fine wine, Pete Townsend's just becomes stale like any cheap lager. 'Like a Rolling Stone' - Probably is the Greatest Song left.
godthedog Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles. It's gonna be this vs. God Only Knows for the win, which is pretty unsurprising, I think. you think so? i've figured since before the tournament even started that it was going to be "day in the life" vs. "like a rolling stone" in the finals. 'A Day in the Life' - But really, 'Hey Jude' is much better. no.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 Please don't vote against Like a Rolling Stone people! It's the last truly deserving song left. You high. And yeah, I feel like "God Only Knows" will edge Bob, but ol' Zim did dominate, so mayhaps not. If I had had to make a shortlist of the 5 most likely winners at the outset, those three would have definitely been on it, though.
Cheech Tremendous Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 GROUP A "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye - Neither song is really my cup of tea, but I've never cared for Aretha at all. GROUP B "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles - This is the best song left in the tourney and should win convincingly. Best song by the definitive band of the '60s. GROUP C "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys - Fairly easy choice. The Who are great; "My Generation" however, is not. GROUP D "Gimme Shelter" by Rolling Stones - I love Dylan and the Stones, but I don't find "Like A Rolling Stone" to be as iconic as some make it out to be. What a lousy group of songs to make it to the finals. Nothing adventurous whatsoever.

Youth N Asia Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Posted December 9, 2008 When I get to the final 4 should I do a poll with those 4 songs, or keep it tournament like?
Copper Feel Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 Please don't vote against Like a Rolling Stone people! It's the last truly deserving song left. You high. Yeah, I forgot about 'God Only Knows' when I said that.
Youth N Asia Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Posted December 11, 2008 I'll likely do the last 4 songs as a poll since the drop off for voting has been pretty big in this round. I'm calling the round Thursday
