I typically really dig metal. But this machine head song is just a bit too wanky cliche nu-metal. I went blind melon.

I'm no metalhead, but it was still better than the annoyingness of the Blind Melon. God!

Out of ten

Descend the shades of night 8

The Duke 5


I like my metal hard. That's a very soft metal song by Machinehead. In fact, I'm not sure I would even call it metal. But it's still very effective from both an emotional and artistic perspective. That song should kick arse against most songs here.

Blind Melon is mediocre. And it has that element of pretentious mediocrity, like this is supposed to be an 'indie' thing, and they're the 'real deal'. Just kind of bland for me.

Despite all I've tried, I could never get into Machinehead. The Duke was a pretty chill song, some good 90's alt. there.

Not really a metal guy but I wasn't really feeling the Blind Melon song either. I kind of liked the intro and outro (first two minutes and last minute) of the Machinehead song, so I went with that one despite not really liking what was in between, as I didn't really like any of the Blind Melon song.

Always loved Blind Melon. They've held a special place in my heart (especially the first album) ever since I recieved my Uncle's copy of it when he passed away. Never been big on Machine Head's style. Going with Blind Melon.
You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities...

Blind Melon always has been a polarizing band on the Pumpkins.net
