Ninety-two songs have qualified for the Best Overexposed Song Survivor.
They've been broken down into eight "Albums" of 11 to 13 songs, loosely based on when they were released.
Using those groups, I will run this like a conventional survivor, except I will promote three songs from each group instead of just two.
Chop Suey - OK song, but I have to pick something...
Man In A Box - there's much better Alice, this one's actually a bit boring to me.
Song 2 - can't stand it. Overplayed gimmicky WOO HOO blegh.
Youth Gone Wild, 18 And Life - I wish I could support these, but the rest of the list is stronger.
Angel Of Death - feels out of place on this list.
Nothing Else Matters - die die die.
Come As You Are - way overplayed. There's better Nirvana, like Lithium here.
That's 4 from each group. This is indeed brutal from the start.
Chop Suey
Cowboys from Hell
Lithium
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Youth Gone Wild
Spoonman
Nothing Else Matters
Pull Me Under
Thunderstruck
Eighteen and Life
I like many of these songs! However, I am strict because I have some clear favourites. Since 3 per group can be promoted, I'll attack many others.
No votes going to:
Cowboys From Hell — Pantera
