Decades Feeder Bracket - Wild Card 80's Week 1 Final 8

MetalDog · January 16, 2018, 07:03:03 PM

Any time I see three ties, and two other close votes, I know I did good. And that's what we had here. Even got most of the seeding right. Lost my number 1 though. Figured Brant would jigger it so it would win and he could tell us again how great Bon Jovi is ;) Looking through this round, I see a lot of potential for just about any song to win it. I even have a secret suspicion about one of them. So now that you've got'em, have at!

The 8/16

The 4/5

The 3/6

The 2/10

4/5 is a bit tough. The rest not so much.

Love Shack was maybe a good song the first 50 million times I heard it back in the day on the radio when you had little choice as to programming (choices being limited to the 80s station, the classic rock station that played the same 40 songs over and over and over again, the sixteen Tejano stations, or AM talk radio).

The problem with Love Shack is that it's really the only B52s tune that most stations will keep in their catalog for their 80s programming. You might occasionally get Rock Lobster, which is worse.

You don't ever get Channel Z or Roam or Deadbeat Club or Private Idaho. Just changing up which B52s tune you're stuck with over and over makes a huge difference.

Very true. Overplaying "hits" doesn't do these bands any favors.

The whole 'Cosmic Thing,' album was pretty good. I included, 'Love Shack,' because it's so catchy and familiar. If I thought they had a chance, I would have included something else by them (not 'Rock Lobster').

bayonetbrant · January 17, 2018, 11:03:10 AM

I'm not arguing it's worthiness of inclusion. I still don't like it ;)

Well I'm glad I have no clue about those other songs, cause the B-52's just plain suck!
