The Final: Nevermind vs The Stone Roses

[Interpol Shrimper]

"They'll be rejoicing in Aberdeen tonight"...

Why, does this victory coincide with the start of "lambing" season??? :O

 

[Pubey]

Nevermind isn't even the best Nirvana album! Whilst I can appreciate that the random-nature of the draw means that the final might not be between the best two albums, I'm personally disappointed by ShrimperZone.

Thank god 37 people on this board aren't as blinkered and tone deaf as you.

Yes I love Nevermind but I can appreciate all styles of music.

You really are determined to mix it with me arn't you?

I am more than comfortable andhappy with the music I like and my views on such.

If that p*sses people like you off then so much the better "Concrete Cow Man"...:)

So am I. The final should have been 'Fore!' by Huey Lewis and the News narrowly losing out to 'Invisible Touch'. Disgraceful.

**** me off? I couldn't give a monkeys.

 

[Lester Bangs]

this final result is an embarrassment for music.

*walks away*

I tend to agree, I've smashed my Nevermind cassette and will be doing a dirty protest in Macdonalds at the fortune of war roundabout later to illustrate my disgust.

Well the fact that once again you chose to attack me here again by calling me "blinkered and tone deaf" then felt the need to respond to my answer would suggest that you do as you put it "give a monkey's"...:)

Don't feel too down, somebody has to lose and it just happened to be you. Nevermind (geddit!!!) being such a loser yourself I would have though you would have been used to it by now.

By the way, I appreciate several styles of music just that rock music is by far the greatest genre of all and makes the rest look tame by comparrison.

Calm down dear its just an internet forum.

Okay Defiler. Point taken. Must be poor old Concrete Cow Man's time of the month or perhaps he just takes defeat badly?

More to be pitied than scolded and you will hear no more from me on this subject now. :)

 

[MK Shrimper]

Looks like it's all over. Can't argue at second place (again!) - unlike OFAH (:puke), I love Nirvana and Nevermind and it is a close, close second to The Stone Roses.

So thanks to the 35 people that voted and for everyone's votes across the competition. Cheers to BlueBlood for organising it.

Yeah really badly. How will I sleep at night.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

And so another Battle comes to an end, i must admit i do prefer organising them rather than competing in them, and this was as feisty and competitive as the others

Commeriserations to MK and The Stone Roses, well played mate and really there is no shame in coming 2nd out of 32 .. that said according to Zena you always come first so i can understand this will be a disappointment to you :whistling:

That just leaves me to congratulate Aberdeen on a fine victory, though to be fair when you team up with an absolute monster like Nevermind half the job is done

Winner of SZ Battle of the Albums

NEVERMIND - NIRVANA

Me too, It's all just a little predictable isn't it. Still it's been fun, can we have a second battle of the albums as loads of good ones got left out?

When will you be cracking out your Battle Pubey?

I'd like a battle of the singles.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

I'd like a battle of the singles.

The only problem with such a battle would be it would be very repetitive ... at least with albums you can highlight different tracks etc ...

Disagree.

I thought people simply cut and pasted their track highlights from one round to the next.

Better than highlighting passages from 'The Turner Diaries' and building up a massive personal arsenal I suppose.

I'll give it a few weeks and then get it started. Cricko ok'ed it but he's gone AWOL so hopefully one of the mods doesn't mind me doing it

Can we do it on albums released in last year/3 years/5 years to mix ut up a bit?

If so, I nominate Doves - Kingdom of Rust & I've not even heard it properly yet...;)

What happened to the Battle of the Cartoons? There was, not so long ago, a whole running order of future battles, that seems to have gone out of the window. As far as I can recall, this one wasn't even on it!

Everybody wanted to be The Simpsons and it was decided it wasn't worth it...;)

I remember there being a lot of discussion in all seriousness and have a feeling The Simpsons and others of that ilk weren't allowed. I know I had Top Cat - why? I don't really know now!
