Rock N Poll: Round 6, the Championship

[Rain Man]

The final three songs are lined up against each other. You may select only one. Winner take all.

[Great Expectations]

First

[The Franchise]

Fuck. Bohemian Rhapsody and Comfortably Numb are both great Rock songs....and should beat the shit out of Stairway to Heaven. But I have a feeling their going to split the vote and Stairway is going to win this thing.

I'm a huge PF fan....but I think of Bohemian Rhapsody as more of a rock song.

[MahiMike]

PANK!

[Phobia]

I'm not a huge PF fan but my vote was against the other two. That sucks. Now I feel bad. I should have abstained because I ruined the poll.

[Los Pollos Hermanos]

Make a mult and vote for suckage.

[wazu]

Wow. I listen to a fair amount of classic rock including a decent-sized playlist of just 70s songs, but don't have any of these three on my iPod. Vote = suckage. And I honestly had no idea that people loved "Comfortably Numb" so much. I don't think I would even put it in my top 10 Pink Floyd songs.

[patteeu]

#1 Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven
#2 Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody
#3 Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb

Disappointing final selection. I blame everyone.

[Deberg_1990]

Ive voted in every round until now. My protest is to not vote.

[cdcox]

I went with the best dance tune: Comfortably Numb

[ModSocks]

Ive voted in every round until now. My protest is to not vote.

Or just vote Suckage. Im torn. I want to vote suckage, but I know it would be a wasted vote. I sure as hell dont want Stairway to win.

[Bump]

it's not uncommon for Stairway to be considered as the best rock and roll song ever. So any of your little arguments are invalid.

[mikey23545]

Suckage with a capital S.

[Rain Man]

My vote went to Bohemian Rhapsody.

I like all of these songs, so I don't feel a need to protest. None of them are in my personal top three, but they're all good. Stairway to Heaven was second for me, and Comfortably Numb was third. Right now, it looks like my ability to reverse-predict the winner is still holding true.

[Bump]

I have to say though, I don't understand the super love you guys have for Queen here. I mean, really, if Wayne's World was never made into a movie, that song wouldn't even have been in this competition.

[ModSocks]

Once again:

Can't **** to it
Can't dance to it
Can't drive to it
Can't smoke a doobie to it
Not much fun to sing along with

It doesn't really "Rock". Out of the 3, Bohemian Rhapsody should be the winner.

Really? I always thought that song was considered up there with Stairway and Freebird and such as a rock classic. I learned from DaFace that the Wayne's World bounce was quite high, but I thought Bohemian Rhapsody was always considered to be a top-ten all-time song by real rock critics.

I didn't even remember the whole Wayne's World thing. Throw that argument out the window.

Freebird is better than all of these IMO.

Yeah....because it was only #9 on the Billboard Charts BEFORE the movie. You fucking retard.

[Gadzooks]

Thanks Rain Man!
Despite how disappointed I am in the majority of Planeteers musical taste, it’s been a lot of fun.

I would also like you to consider this post as a write in vote for Freebird

I have a soft spot for numb but went stairway. That said even though I am tired of hearing some songs that does not take away from their greatness. I think Stairway to heaven and Freebird are two of the greatest rock and roll songs of alltime. At the beginning I thought both would make the final and I would have given Freebird the nod. Stairway is worthy of winning IMO~

[Deberg_1990]

I really look forward to Rain Man's next poll challenge: Best Metal Song of All time

[Bump]

my point is that it would be forgotten today and the past 15 years if it weren't for Wayne's World.

I certainly understand your perspective. Stairway always bothered me because intro was lifted from another band:

Was it theft, or done with Spirit's blessing? I've heard Page was an outspoken fan of Spirit... i don't know if he was attempting to be sneaky and "rip it off" maliciously.

why are you so offended by this? The popularity of Queen in the 90's went from ZERO to SUPER POPULAR immediately after Wayne' World. I guess you think it's just a coincidence.

Wayne's World "revived" Queen, that's for sure. Yes, Queen was popular in the 70's, but you have to admit that Wayne's World revived their popularity in the 90's. Just like Apocalypse Now revived the Doors, The End.

Queen was long forgotten before Wayne's World revived them, all I'm saying. I'm not saying that they weren't popular in the 70's. But right before WW, you never heard it on the radio, you never had in your tape deck, they never had concerts going. You probably had their tape collecting sitting in your collection, but you know you hadn't played it in years.

Of course, I was a teenager when it first came out, so there's that...

[Lzen]

This is tough. I love all 3 of these songs.

This

Ended up going with Bohemian because I've never been a huge fan of Stairway and I don't even think Comfortably Numb is PF's best song.

[Rasputin]

Thank you Rain Man for your dedication for putting this thing on. It's been a lot of fun. Still debating what to vote for, all good & suckage for Bruce may get my vote just for you RM.

Zooks, not to be a Zeppelin hater but, Didn't they "borrow" a lot of songs from Willie Dixon, Howlin Wolf and several others and not crediting them originally with the song? Specifically much of the Zeppelin 1 album.

Here is the Youtube that shows the borrowing. I wont embed it here but if you are interested you can view it on youtube.

Overheard conversation, circa 1992.

ChiefsfansofDallas: Have you heard that cool new song from Wayne's World that sounds like an opera?

Bump: You mean Bohemian Rhapsody? Yeah that song is awesome. And you know what makes it even cooler?

ChiefsfansofDallas: What?

Bump: I think that song came out like 15 years ago! It was just some obscure song by an obscure band that was just sitting there until Mike Myers discovered it and decided to put it in a movie.

I tried to agree with you and was getting ready to post in support of your position and then I decided to spend 4 minutes researching. Queen re-released an entire U.S. Hits album from more than a decade prior to coincide with Waynes World. I think Bump raises a valid point. Doesn't take away from Queen's songs but it did extend them to another generation. I certainly wouldn't have been as familiar with their work because I would have never bought their Hits II CD without Waynes World.

No, I just lived through the first release of all of Queen's music and know how it was. My daughter, who is now 20, and was like 2 when Wayne's world came out, is a big fan and decided she liked them after hearing her mom and I listen to the music.

Tons of old songs have been featured in movies and very few of them get a bump like BR. There has to be something inherently likable about the song for it to catch on with a new generation. That's why it is one of the greatest RnR songs of all time.

Even in my sheltered childhood I had heard of Queen's popular songs like Another One Bites the Dust and We Are The Champions. Just not Bohemian Rhapsody.

I stand by the idea that Wayne's World introduced the song to a generation that might not have heard it otherwise.

It's been mentioned that it went to number 9 on the charts in 1975. Well, it went to number two in 1992. I'm sure Waynes World had nothing to do with that.

Bohemian Rhapsody is an overrated POS, IMHO. Never liked it. Stairway is also overplayed and overrated.

The charts are a terrible way of judging the popularity of album oriented rock that came out in the late 60's and 70's. Many of the classics never charted at all. Stairway charted at #37 in GB, but never in the US.

Yes WW exposed a new generation. But like I said, it had to have something going for it to stick with a new younger crowd.

I, for one, never noticed a dropoff in Bohemian Rhapsody's popularity. At least not the kind of dropoff that makes the word "obscure" appropriate. I agree with you, I think. WW probably stimulated popularity with a new generation, but I'm confident that most of us 40-somethings would know the song well even if WW had never existed.

I and some others said that that movie introduced the song to a new generation. The point I was trying to make was one generation thought it was a great song. When another generation heard it they also thought it was a great song. Maybe just maybe it is a great song. The quote that kind of started this was...

As I said maybe just maybe it is a great song~

[Rain Man]

Regardless of how this turns out, I do want to make one thing clear. It's not my fault.

[ModSocks]

Well, if it wasn't for this thread, I wouldn't be putting Wayne's World on my netflix que.

[Drwbllz]

I vote for Springsteen over any of these. What a horrible top 3. :spock:

[Los Pollos Hermanos]

I and some others said that that movie introduced the song to a new generation. The point I was trying to make was one generation thought it was a great song. When another generation heard it they also thought it was a great song. Maybe just maybe it is a great song. The quote that kind of started this was...

"Originally Posted by Bump
I have to say though, I don't understand the super love you guys have for Queen here. I mean, really, if Wayne's World was never made into a movie, that song wouldn't even have been in this competition."

Having never seen this movie I looked up the sound track for the movie. Using that posters logic the following songs should be in the final due to them being in the hit making movie..




Well, I don't care enough to argue anymore. But, if you saw the movie, you'd know that BR was a major bit of the show, the rest were not.

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VzUU7SRRsGo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Over-Head]

No GnR no vote :harumph:

[Amnorix]

:LOL: at this silliness over BR. Of course WW helped introduce BR to a whole new generation of fans. Of course it's a great song that stands on its own, and which helped WW achieve the popularity that it had.

Mike Myers apparently had his own views:

In connection with this, a new video was released, intercutting excerpts from the film with footage from the original Queen video, along with some live footage of the band. Myers was horrified that the record company had mixed clips from Wayne's World (http://www.chiefsplanet.com/wiki/Wayne%27s_World) with Queen's original video, fearing that this would upset the band. He said, "they've just whizzed (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/whiz) on a Picasso." He asked the record company to tell Queen that the video was not his idea, and that he apologised to them. The band, though, sent a reply simply saying, "Thank you for using our song." This shocked Myers, who said it should be more like him telling Queen, "Thank you for even letting me touch the hem of your garments!"<SUP id=cite_ref-27 class=reference>[ (http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/#cite_note-27)</SUP>

[Gadzooks]

Zooks, not to be a Zeppelin hater but, Didn't they "borrow" a lot of songs from Willie Dixon, Howlin Wolf and several others and not crediting them originally with the song? Specifically much of the Zeppelin 1 album.

Here is the Youtube that shows the borrowing. I wont embed it here but if you are interested you can view it on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyvLsutfI5M

They certainly did...
I see you're being careful not to come off as being a Zeppelin hater. That's a good idea. I once said that I thought Jimmy Page was over rated as a guitar player and got neg-repped into an abysmal pit of shame.

My favorite movie is Pulp Fiction. A lot of people dont like it. I also couldnt give a **** less.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend.

I'll take I over II, but they're both pretty freaking great.

Yep. Pretty much 1 movie broken into 2 parts.

[Easy 6]

Suckage with a capital S.

It's the football offseason, the NFL is in lock out mode, the Royals aren't doing anything this year (again) and the Red Sox are defying all logic by sucking hard.

Bring on the next poll!!

Whoa, whoa, whoa... the Royals are in first place.

[patteeu]

Rep. I'll have to think this one through. But he will be abused. :D Feel free to chip in with suggestions.

Which one? It looks like two different people nominated it.

[Rain Man]

DaFace independently had an idea that I also had a little while back. Perhaps since we just did a media-based tournament, the next one should be fundamentally different: Dessert Wars. Pick the best dessert on the planet.

a movie contest would need to be broken down by decade at the very least IMO. There is no way for me to tell which film is the best ever, there are just simply way too many great ones to determine that.

Or genre. Sci-Fi, Horror, Pron, documentary, etc.
Then let the winners from each genre square off in a 'best movie of all time' cage match.

I voted LZ
Floyd was second. But had Time been the Floyd choice I'd have switched the vote here.

It is interesting to note here that despite the wide variety of angst among the voters, that two of the three most eduring rock albums ever were represented in the finals...just sayin.

At my wake I'd like Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here to be played with enough kegs (alcohol containers, not overweight writers) to make all in attendance maudlin...

Best in that category was Insatiable II. :evil:

I've been out of the loop since about 98 but back in the day Jewel Denyle (sp?) was about the dirtiest thing out there...

Pulp Fiction. DONE!

[BigMeatballDave]

Pulp Fiction. DONE!Bravo! :clap:

[Rausch]

Pulp Fiction. DONE!

How many Pink Floyd songs were in that sound track there Einstein?...

[Rain Man]

Pulp Fiction. DONE!

Probably. But I think the finals of Pulp Fiction versus Ferris Bueller's Day Off would be an epic battle.

[Bump]

I would expect No Country for Old Men to make the elite 8

[BigMeatballDave]

I would expect No Country for Old Men to make the elite 8Good one, but no.

Yeah, me too. Dont know much recent stuff, with the advent of on line pr0n, full length features aren't so sought after.

Could I make a suggestion for a new Chiefsplanet best of thread. How about "Hottest Babe" Championship?

Make a suggestions thread on who needs to be in the "Madness" and then break them down into the rounds just as you did the rock and roll thread here. Post non-nude type pictures referencing the babe in question and then let the voting begin. Swimsuit pictures are fine but no blatant nipple or camel toe that would make the voting NSFW

Just my .10 cents worth of a suggestion.

[kysirsoze]

Jesus. A movie tournament on here would essentially end my social life. I would most likely double my post count and eradicate my rep.

That said, it would be fun. I would get it started to take it off Rain Man's plate, but he would do a 10 times better job than me. FWIW, I agree with whoever said it should be by genre. Then maybe a champion's bracket.

[vailpass]

If Pulp Fiction won for best movie ever I would laugh MFAO.
