Rebel Rebel (David Bowie) 7 vs. Sheena is a Punk Rocker (Ramones) 8
I mean, Rebel Rebel should probably just win because it actually includes the line ‘handful of ‘ludes” but I’m sticking with the Ramones on this one. Shorter, sweeter, and more surf-rocky (I have a secret place in my heart for the endless summer soundtrack). Besides, I’m waiting for some real Bowie jams to show up down the line (but not waiting too long as its still getting high scores. I mean, its Rebel Rebel. Really.)
Welcome to Jamrock (Damian Marley) 4 vs. Show Me (Mint Royale) 5
Marley’s stuff isn’t really my scene so unfortunately it doesn’t get the highest ranking. But I can appreciate it for what it is… I don’t know Mint Royale but I really enjoyed this one. I’m not huge on this genre either but it I feel like I’m in a really cheesy disco in italy on my year off so it will win because of that.
Crossroads (Cream) 9 vs. Pinball Wizard (Who) 5
I just don’t really love pinball wizard. never have. And if I have the choice for a multi-part epic narrative I’m obvi going for some billy joel or PBTDBL (shout out to everyone who voted for YTTWROOMM (MHBWIWKY)). Maybe it has something to do with the time I saw Tommy when I was too young to see Tommy and I don’t want to see it again. and Crossroads? Seriously? Especially this version? I mean, I’m probably screwing up my scale here and am going to regret this but oh the history and the story and the guitar solo. I mean, seriously? 9.
Dancing in the Street (Martha Reeves) 5 vs. I’m a Believer (Monkees) 6
I like both these songs. But apparently I’m a Believer was written by Neil Diamond so it wins.
Holidays in the Sun (Sex Pistols)6 vs. No Shelter Here (Rage Against the Machine)3
I don’t like Rage Against the Machine. I do like the Sex Pistols. Is that OK? Great, thanks.
I love your commentary and use of rhetorical questions.
Rebel Rebel (David Bowie) vs. Sheena is a Punk Rocker (Ramones) = 8:10 (Rebel, Rebel by the Stones is better)
Welcome to Jamrock (Damian Marley) vs. Show Me (Mint Royale) = 6:10 (Show Me is the happiest song ever recorded, plus POS from DE LA SOUL is a goddam human Saturday)
Crossroads (Cream) vs. Pinball Wizard (Who) = 6:6 (Pinball wizard… kinda overrated, but legendary)
Dancing in the Street (Martha Reeves) vs. I’m a Believer (Monkees) = 6:10
