Starlight (Muse) 7
Love Shack (B-52′s) 3
Never heard the Muse song, but I definitely dig it. Unfortunately, some recent awful karaoke renditions of Love Shack have soured me on an otherwise fun song.

Am I going crazy or is there something weird going on from 2:26 – 2:35 in I Will Survive??
Holiday (Green Day) 9

You talking about the Kenny G moment?
Wait, that was at 3:44

Due to Pandora’s obsession with this song on all my classic rock stations i’ve developed quite a disdain for it … that and John Mayer

All I can think of is that Toyota Highlander commercial

Love Shack is more fun than it is good. Muse makes better songs than Starlight…
Magnificent Seven (Clash) 5
No Woman No Cry (Bob Marley & The Wailers) 8.5
Enjoyed Magnificent Seven on some levels. It irked me on others. I enjoy No Woman No Cry on ALL levels, other than its slow pace.
Cry Baby (Janis Joplin) 8
Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) 7
Both great songs. Cry Baby has amazing energy, the talking parts bring it down a bit. Sultans of Swing is a good song, real mellow. Not quite up there with Janis.
Angel of the Morning (Juice Newton) 5
I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor) 9
I know Angel is a good song, just don’t feel it. I will survive is a phenomenal song.
Holiday (Green Day) 8
Titus Andronicus (Titus Andronicus) 4
Holiday is really well put together. Hits on alot of different levels. Titus made me want to turn it off. I don’t like being yelled at that much…

I really like the chorus of Angel of the Morning…only its the entirety fo the damn 4 minute song… not a recipe for success.
Holiday (Green Day) 7
Titus Andronicus (Titus Andronicus) 4

Love Shack (B-52′s) 7.0 [the b-52s are a “peculiar” band…]

No Woman No Cry (Bob Marley & The Wailers) 7
Where is Lost in the Supermarket? By far the best Clash song, and a definite contender for best song of all time. I think I’d give that song a 10. This song is… well, let’s just say Blondie’s “Rapture” has the same beat and is a much better example of weird disco rap (1:55): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHCdS7O248g
Cry Baby (Janis Joplin) 5.5
Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) 10
I don’t think that I’ve heard this Dire Straits song before, but just about everything about this song seems perfect.
Angel of the Morning (Juice Newton) 6
I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor) 8.5
An excellent match up, but Gloria dominates. What a voice. That song will never fail to rock you post-break up. I mean, if you’re a lady. It seems to have a different effect on men.

Cry Baby (Janis Joplin) 7 Prefer the album version. Check out this version by the Hungarian idol winner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwfoqUI-LK0
Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) 8
Angel of the Morning (Juice Newton) 8.5 Folks may remember this song from Shaggy’s sample of it in the hit 2000 song, “Angel”.

Love Shack (B-52′s) 6.75
Muse was nice but got sorta boring near the end. Love Shack is fun, but pretty mediocre in comparison to others here. I highly doubt either of these songs will make it past 256.
Magnificent Seven (Clash) 3
No Woman No Cry (Bob Marley & The Wailers) 7.5
Cry Baby (Janis Joplin) 5.5
Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) 9
For many years I have claimed that a woman that can pull off the Knopfler solo that starts at 5:18 in Sultans of Swing would immediately win my heart. This song is awesome everytime I hear it, would be a shame if it doesn’t get to the 6-4.
Angel of the Morning (Juice Newton) 6
I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor) 7.5
Angel of the Morning has a nice chorus for sure, it just seems really depressing. Not in a good Hallelujah way, more in a please stop singing way. I Will Survive starts at a 9.5 for me, but I don’t really dig the instrumental bridges- they just seem like built-in respites to give everyone at the wedding time to take off their suit jackets and put down their drinks.
Holiday (Green Day) 8
Titus Andronicus (Titus Andronicus) 6
Holiday was a pleasant, pleasant surprise. TA is a little too much for me right now.
Also, here is a link to an article about how there is a dinosaur named after Mark Knopfler. I couldn’t make something like that up

Magnificent Seven (Clash) vs. No Woman No Cry (Bob Marley & The Wailers) = 4 to 5
I dug what Mick Jones tried to do in the 80s – in theory. Sometimes he really pulled it off. But not all the time.
Cry Baby (Janis Joplin) vs. Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) = 7 to 8.5
Angel of the Morning (Juice Newton) vs. I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor) = 5 to 6.5
Holiday (Green Day) vs. Titus Andronicus (Titus Andronicus) = 4 to 6.5
