ONE love, blood, life
Well folks, the Best Beatles Song Survivor is over and I am itching to get a new one started.
This is the preliminary discussion where the subject of this new competition will be decided upon.
I've narrowed it down to two bands that I'm interested in running it for. They both have problems, which I will outline below:
1.Radiohead
I'm sure this would get a shitload of participation. But there is a concern I have: Any debate that occured during the Beatles survivor will be child's play compared to what will happen with an RH survivor. I can think of few bands that get people here fired up and emotional the way RH does. I guess what I'm saying is, I don't want any thread in a potential RH survivor devolving into name-calling and things of that nature. Plus I am concerned about certain people who have certain negative opinions about RH and who have a certain penchant for disrupting many RH threads. A giant pro, however, is the fact that the competition would be wiiiiide open. Any number of songs could win it. Anyway, this is option 1.
2.Led Zeppelin
I think LZ would be a really interesting band to run a survivor for They have a tremendous catalog of rock music. The main problem is Stairway To Heaven. There is no conceivable way that STH won't win the whole thing. As sure as the sun will rise in the East tomorrow morning, STH will win the competition. With that kind of predictability, the competition becomes sort of pointless. It seems to me that a 'Best Non-STH LZ Song' Survivor would be more interesting.
Anyway, those are the two options. I know it seems kind of unfair that I get to narrow the field down to two all by myself, but I am going to be running the thing, and I think it only fair that I get to make sure I'm running it for a band I want to run it for
Have at it!
