Music Rock N Poll: Round 2, Heat 10

**Rain Man** · 03-27-2011, 06:15 PM

2/3rds of the way through the second round, and it remains tough sledding to winnow down the candidates. Here you go.

I still have votes for sale for R2H9.

I may be in touch right before I shut it down.

My rankings:

Rocket Man, Elton John - Edges out the song below for the #1 vote. I have fond memories of Valerie Bertinelli playing this song on her record player in a poignant episode of One Day at a Time, and now I mentally associate the song with a smokin' hot teenage Valerie Bertinelli.

Old Time Rock N Roll, Bob Seger - Great song. Could be #1, but I don't associate it with a smokin' hot teenage Valerie Bertinelli.

Comfortably Numb, Pink Floyd - Wasn't really familiar with this song prior to the tournament, but I like it. Give it that old-time #3 vote.

Foreplay/Long Time, Boston - I really like Boston's music, but this isn't one of their best.

Crazy Train, Ozzy Osbourne* - Why is that asterisk there? Why? Why does it keep showing up? I need to know! Great guitar in this song, by the way, but the vocals and lyrics don't wow me.

Hair Of The Dog, Nazareth - Ranked #6 primarily because of the cool title.

Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Smashing Pumpkins - Okay title.

Wicked Garden, Stone Temple Pilots - The title doesn't do much for me.

A vote for Rocket Man is a vote for a smokin' hot teenage Valerie Bertinelli. And I'm not an audiophile because she was older than me when my fond memories formed, so that doesn't count as audiophilia.

**Bugeater** · 03-27-2011, 06:31 PM

I gotta vote for Foreplay/Long Time, that's a classic. And anything by Floyd is pretty much an automatic vote for me. Can't decide between Ozzy and STP for my third.

Do you remember seeing a smokin' hot teenage Valerie Bertinelli back in the late 70s?

What song by Boston is better?

And I too have fond memories of VB, so I left her pic in the quote.

Yes, and I remember seeing one in this thread, but I don't recall that episode of One Day at a Time you are referring to so I'm not making the same mental association to the song.

She was sad about something and she was playing it in her room and her sister came in to talk to her about it. I remember it like it was yesterday, other than the plot and anything other than a smokin' hot teenage Valerie Bertinelli. I went ahead and posted her picture again too, and think perhaps everyone in the thread should put this picture in their posts.

Rock and Roll band, definitely. More than a Feeling. Perhaps Smokin'.

I'm not going to give anyone trouble about voting for Boston, though. Any vote for Boston is a good vote.

Speaking of her sister, wtf were they thinking when the paired that nasty skank up with her? I'd better post the pic of Valerie again so I don't think about the other one any more.

Chiefnj2 · 03-27-2011, 06:51 PM

1. Crazy Train. One of Ozzy and Rhandy's best.
2. Rocket Man.
3. Bob Seger.

Hard not to vote for Comfortably Numb.

That older one annoyed the daylights out of me even when I was 15. She was disgusting. I recall that she's the daughter of someone of celebrity status, so I can only assume that she got her job because of connections. I don't know that she ever did anything after that, while Valerie had a long career in TV movies and weight-loss commercials.

Here's the picture again.

Here's the picture again.

Mackenzie Phillips. Daughter of Papa John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas. Carried on an incestuous affair with said father for several years as an adult. Treated for addiction on Drew Pinski's Celebrity Rehab and Sober House.

I may quote Valerie Bertinelli's photo in every thread for a week.
