Tournament Of Short Songs: Phase 1, Round 03

[Night Prowler]

You can find the rules, list of songs and YouTube playlist of all songs in this thread.
I'll also put a link for each new round there and the thread is stickied so that it's easier to find.

This is the "rock" round.

Black Country Communion - Man In The Middle

Deep Purple - Space Truckin'

Opeth - Hope Leaves

The Clash - London Calling

ZZ Top - La Grange

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

This is a really tough round...all of these are great songs.

My vote lies with Opeth.

 

[Forostar]

Opeth + Clash

 

[Brigantium]

Opeth, Clash.

 

[The Flash]

Opeth + ZZ Top

 

[mckindog]

Nice group.
The BCC song has such a nasty, cutting, bluesy groove, more my taste than the forum's I think.
Space Truckin's a good tune, but kinda overexposed IMO
That's the side of Opeth I like. Sad and beautiful.

But London Calling is just a kickass rock track and Billy Gibbons is godly on the Top track (that's a weird mix on the video, though)
Those are my picks.

 

[Night Prowler]

Worst song in the lead

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

It's the epic beards.

 

[Forostar]

Big beards, flat music.

 

[Brigantium]

I really think Opeth should do more with beards, they're missing a trick there.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Opeth is too serious for beards. If they grew beards, they'd have to start playing doom metal.

 

[Brigantium]

Pleasantly surprised by the Clash support here

 

[Ariana]

My vote goes to Clash, my daughter forced me to vote for Opeth too.

 

[Forostar]

Excellent.

 

[Night Prowler]

Yep, Clash and Opeth it is.

 

[The Flash]

I was on the fence between Clash and ZZ Top, admittedly.

 

[Night Prowler]

London Calling wins Round 3!

 

[Brigantium]

Not a result I expected, but happy.
