The purple one dominated and The Clash squeezed one out (hee hee) as we have Purple Rain vs. London Calling as a powerful second round match-up down the line. Okay, I gotta get this one out quickly. In the last post I said there were 3 80's albums that made it to the previous tourney's round of 32. There were 4, and Appetite was one of them. Actually, it reached the sweet 16.
Appetite For Destruction (Guns 'n Roses) vs. Shoot Out The Lights (Richard/Linda Thompson) - Game 21
Bleach (Nirvana) vs. Reckoning (Grateful Dead) - Game 22
G 'n R is against another big vote getter from the last tourney here. We also have the pre-cursor to the 90s new rock explosion against our first of just a few live albums in the tourney, a hippie acoustic marvel. Are we leading to G 'n R vs. Nirvana? Can we get an upset here after coming so close in the last bracket? Am I wearing pants?
Well crapola! GNR vs. The Thompsons is a really really hard one. I'm going to have to have a re-listen.
ReplyDeleteBleach is a gimme in my house. I have yet to find a Grateful Dead anything I can listen to.
Hmmmm
And so I've had my re-listen to both. Hmmm. The only question I have is... Was Richard and Linda on the verge on divorce or emotional breakdown when they wrote Shoot Out the Lights? That is the most depressing album I've listened to in a long time. I have a feeling I was more tolerant at the time. Sooooo.... do I vote how I felt at the time or how I feel now. Hmmmm.....
