Supersong Tournament: Round 2, Heat 5. (PICK TWO)
 

Second verse, same as the first. This is the last heat of Round 2.

In Round Two, I'll put the nominees up in random clumps of five, and you'll pick the TWO musical acts that you would most like, or least hate, to see on the world's biggest stage as the Chiefs face some NFC team next year.

The rules are more or less non-existent. Lobby for anyone you like, post videos for us, and make any arguments against totally insipid groups and rappers. Convince us one way or the other.

I was told there would be a poll.

We had a long instrumental introduction beforehand.

My winners:

1. Ben Folds. Clearly a top contender. He's fun to watch and has creative music.

2. Eagles. They're actually kind of the real Eagles, who are a good group. I just hope they start with Seven Bridges Road.

My non-winners.

3. Rolling Stones. They would be acceptable, but I'm not sure that they represent the clean living image that the NFL likes to project (Von Miller aside).

4. Taylor Swift. Boring music in a nice package.

5. Muse. (Goes to store at halftime to get more Dr. Pepper.)

By far the worst heat yet. I want to vote for Muse twice. The only way I'd vote for any of the other 4 is if a meteor hit the SB halftime show...

After Garth Brooks and ELO advanced in another heat, who gives a shit what CP thinks about the halftime show?

Big fan of the Ben Folds option. I think he's terrific live, though he might lack the Super Bowl gravitas...

Muse is THE best live show I've ever seen. Their concerts are so good. They aren't mainstream enough to win here or play the Super Bowl but for anyone that likes great live rock music, go see them if they come to your area.

I wanted to vote for Muse, I truly did.

But dammit, I really really like Ben Folds and how can you pass on the Stones? This was a genuinely tough heat, IMO.

But but Ben Folds. :rolleyes: :shake:

I'd rather pass a stone than listen to Ben Folds...

Ben Folds and the Eagles. Taylor Swift was the only other American act and therefore the only other option. She'd probably be alright and popular, but she really doesn't do much for me (which isn't a requirement, but it is a tiebreaker).

So being American is more important than actually being, you know, good?

Uhoh...

Nothing more analogous than Taylor Swift & the Super Bowl. :hmmm:
