TOPIC: The Music Taste Championships - Winners' Bracket Final

The Music Taste Championships - Winners' Bracket Final 1 year 8 months ago #97938

OK, These songs come from the final remaining people who have not yet lost a match. The winner of this one moves into the grand finale (where they would have to be defeated in two consecutive matches in order to lose.) The loser joins the other 3 remaining people in the losers' bracket and keeps on fighting. A lot on the line with this one, so choose carefully. :D

1.) Velvet Underground - Venus In Furs



2.) The Greenhornes - Saying Goodbye

Destroy the mind, destroy the body, but you cannot destroy the heart!

Tell me, tell me what you\\\'re after...I just wanna get there faster.

This was hard. I'm not a big Lou Reed fan, but I do like Venus In Furs. Ultimately I went with The Greenhornes though.

It's Greenhornes all the way for me. I think we're all familiar with Venus in Furs....a good song, but I'm not a fan of the draggy, monotonous feel and the "talking" vocals so much. Plus, the Greenhornes get bonus points with me because they're from my hometown!!! Represent!!! :D

I loved both, but I gotta go with The Velvet Underground. Love their debut so so much. :D

I think the Greenhornes are saying goodbye this round :D

Venus gets my vote, especially as that song was already on my own shortlist.

Funny it took this long for a song the pumpkins covered to turn up though
Your strength is my weakness, your weakness my hate
My love for you just can't explain
Why we're forever frozen, forever beautiful
Forever lost inside ourselves

Could live without either of those, but I thought the 2nd one was slightly better. I think I've preferred the songs from the losers bracket to the stuff in the winners bracket recently.

The velvets take it 10-7. Next step? The final 4 in the losers' bracket.

Slight problem...I'm missing song submissions from 2 of those final 4. If you're in it still and haven't submitted your song, please PM it to me ASAP....I'll post the next match once I have one ready to roll.
