Yoda

I’ll give this round two more hours till it’s over. So 5:00pm CT is the end of the road for 6 songs.

Happy Birthday Wong & Owens!!!

After eating a pile of spoiled cabbage, Chuck Norris shat a green turd with magical abilities. He named it "Yoda", and roundhouse kicked it to a galaxy far, far away. I never thought I'd post a joke of these, but I have to admit that I've been laughing at alot of them.

You guys spend way too much time online to tell anyone that you love them.

I have to say that I’m glad you old timers (FlaSoxx and Kid) are here to counsel us with some very interesting and trendy posting. Although (I admit) there are some bands that you guys talk about and I’ve never heard of, it is very pleasing to see some appealing discussions. And for that I merit you guys.

Section 1. White Room - Cream vs. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan vs. Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix vs. When the Levee Breaks- Led Zeppelin Section 2. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen vs. Baba O'Reilly - The Who Pinball Wizard - The Who vs. Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones A Day in the Life - The Beatles vs. Dream On - Aerosmith That was tough...

Here it is. The matches get harder and the winner is closer to being crowned favorite classic rock song of Soxtalk. Bold your favorite song out of each match. Please note that two songs are back for reasons that are stated below. Section 1. White Room - Cream vs. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan vs. Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix vs. When the Levee Breaks- Led Zeppelin Section 2. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen vs. Baba O'Reilly - The Who Pinball Wizard - The Who vs. Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones A Day in the Life - The Beatles vs. Dream On - Aerosmith *This red match has two songs that were eliminated from Round 2. They are here because if I don’t have them, there will only be a conclusion of 5 winners, an odd number, so with this additional match, it will be even. So to make things easier, after this round is over there will be 6 on going songs instead of 5.

Voting for this round has ended. The bolded numbers by each song is the result of votes that it received. Section 1. 5 No Time - Guess Who vs. 20 White Room - Cream 20 While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles vs. 9 Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynard vs. 6 Strawberry Field Forever - The Beatles 8 Ticket to Ride - The Beatles vs. 17 Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan 8 The Boys Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy vs. 17 Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones 10 A Day in the Life - The Beatles vs. 15 All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix Section 2. 9 Surrender - Cheap Trick vs. 16 When the Levee Breaks- Led Zeppelin 11 Dream On - Aerosmith vs. 14 Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen 15 Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones vs. 10 Thunderstruck - AC/DC 8 Stay With Me - The Faces vs. 17 Pinball Wizard - The Who 6 Crazy Train - Ozzy Osborne vs. 19 Baba O'Reilly - The Who

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 03:13 PM) Wow. Isn't all this uncanny? Frank has been the conerstone veteran of his team as has been Bagwell. I believe they were born the same day, they have close to identical stats, and both of their teams met in the World Series last year for the first time while both were injured, and now BOTH are being driven away and there is bitterness on BOTH their parts? LMAO, it doesn't stop! Sad because both of them were one of the best right handed hitters, back in the 90’s, in their own league, respectively. But of course, age and injuries will slow players down.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 05:32 PM) Perhaps this was all part of Cheney's involvement in "The Most Dangerous Game" hunting. Think about it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023238/ Probably the re-make?

Ugh . . . I stopped reading after the 5th paragraph. Reading about these kinds of incidents (mostly when it happens to kids) is heartbreaking. A little boy who just got off from school and doesn’t even get to his house. :headshake

Nice. I'll definitely be printing those and hang em in my locker.

QUOTE(Felix @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 03:35 PM) I'm still curious as to how Thunderstruck is considered classic rock People have different views when it comes to considering what “classic” rock is. If I were to choose a classic rock song from AC/DC I would go with Jailbreak, TNT, Highway to Hell, Hells Bells, etc.

The hardest match so far has to be the three-way match. Free Bird is good, but I feel that it is played too much. I enjoy both Beatle songs, but Strawberry Fields Forever just takes me to another dimension. It has this perplex mood to it and the music video that I saw for it is eccentric.

Best thread title ever! Puts the sex back in Sex, Lies, and Music.

Happy Birthday Ribbie!!!

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 02:02 PM) For those of you with kids, do they even teach cursive any more? My 8-year-old brother is going through that right now, and god is he horrible at it! Sure he’s just barely learning it but he is using cursive writing in every paper he has, whether it is school related or not. He’s not the only one with very bad cursive writing. There are grown people out there whose cursive writing is very hard to read it’s dire!

The results are in. The numbers in bold indicated how many votes the song received.

What’s even more interesting is that some of these species of animals are near extinction.

She has a 4-month-old baby!? Where have I been?

That is sick! There were several bomb threats here at Calumet High, last year, but like I said, at a high school. Hopefully they catch whomever it was that made such stupidity.

I’ll let this round go till tomorrow (2/9) at 5pm CT.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Feb 6, 2006 -> 04:12 PM) Likewise for Kiss vs. Queen in my particular case. GOD DAMN YOU YODA! lol I tried to make every matchup as fair as possible. From my perspective, you guys chose some very good songs by some very good artists and it hurts having to choose one song over the other. There is not one song in this tournament that shouldn’t be here.
