Very close at the moment!

Noughties would be an interesting decade actually, even so far as in what people would nominate.

I like the two songs better. That's it really! Nothing more profound than that.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge


Nirvana - Come As You Are

Two iconic sounding songs

This is tough love both these songs but Gwen gets it

No Doubt - Don't speak

Love No Doubt and Gwen quirkiness

R4/Match 6


The Cranberries - Promises
love Dolores voice

Necro

Don't Speak - just a timeless 90s song for me I could listen to any day

Rage Against The Machine - It got to Christmas number 1 as a fcuk you to Simon Cowell years and years after it was released. That's enough for me :P

I find music at the best of times makes me emotional but that's a real tear jerker

Thats all we will get done tonight.

So the plan is to get this round, qf, and sf done tomorrow, with the final Friday morning.

Thanks everyone.

Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight

The more I’ve listened to this song through the comp the more I’ve fell in love with it.


Soundgarden - Black - Hole Sun

I prefer this to come as you are.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Garbage - Stupid Girl - two great songs by two bands I have a lot of time for, but Stupid Girl is simply a better song than Don't Speak.

The Cranberries - Promises - would've preferred if these two weren't against each other because both are great, but gonna go with The Cranberries because it was one of my nominations and Promises is their best song as far as I'm concerned. Wouldn't be mad if it lost to Rage here in fairness though.

Garbage - Stupid Girl

I love love love this


Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name Of

Prefer this one

Garbage - Stupid Girl

Don't Speak, just think its a better tune

R4/Match 6
The Cranberries - Promises
vs       
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name Of

Rage Against the Machine gets my vote as even all these years, its still an amazing song (and can almost get me headbanging, except I know it'll hurt for a week if I do it)

Red Hot Chili Peppers - not the best Pumpkins song


Nirvana - just love nirvana

No Doubt - Don't speak
Great song by a very good band. Definitely Fwen Stefani at her best.

R4/Match 6
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name Of
What's not there to love about this song? Just an all round classic rock anthem that I may or may not join in when it pops up on my play list in the car.

Dont Speak - love both of these songs but while Garbage are the undoubtedly the better band overall I think Don't Speak edges this one as more of a classic song. If it was a different Garbage song (Push It or Only Happy When It Rains) then I may have voted differently.

Promises - an underrated song that I'm pleasantly surprised got this far, when it comes to the Cranberries only Linger would arguably be more deserving of progressing this far imo. Killing In The Name is great but a bit overplayed, easy to get a bit tired of hearing it.

Match 5: No Doubt (I just love it and I would vote it in most of the matches in this competition!!)
Match 6: Cranberries (Dolores was one of my most favourite vocalists ever!!)

lassykk

No Doubt - Really catchy tune from the 90s and gets the nod really because I disliked Stupid Girl when it was released (grew on me since)

Rage against the machine - Not a fan of the song its up against and this tune is a great one if it comes in a nightclub

Garbage - Stupid Girl
Prefer it to the other one

Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name Of
One of my nominations

ShaneU

3 Under the Bridge. My number 1 nomination such a good song

4 Come as you are - apparently I was the only person to nominate this which is weird, Nirvana's best song imo

5 No Doubt - I just really like it, is that a good enough reason?

6 Killing in the name of - We could use more bands like this around today, muppets running the world!

Toughie for me here cos both are my noms. Don't Speak was never a doubt for me though so I have to go with this. I remember seeing this video for the first time with my mom and it was the first time I realised that she could like "normal" music, like you know when you realise that your parents are ppl too

I'm a Cranberries fan and I think this is the better option

Reberetta

Soundgarden Black Hole Sun

Great guitar solo.

No Doubt Don't Speak

One of the most memorable hits of nineties' chart music.

angel eyes 2012

No Doubt - like Stupid Girl too but Don't Speak brings me right back to when I started college and meaningful lyrics.

Edit. Abstain on second vote.

I've changed my mind in regards to Round4/Match 4
I don't like either song but would prefer if Nirvana Come As You Are got through. Therefore, a vote for Nirvana.

Electric Nitwit

Stupid Girl for me - love both but this I was into at the time and remember a couple of great gigs

Rage - what a tune. I went to their free celebration gig when they got the Christmas number one and this was off the scale

Sheridan81

Soundgarden-Black Hole Sun : The quintessential Soundgarden song with super vocals.

Rage Against The Machine-Killing In The Name Of : Because we need some metal and that Cranberries song doesn't scream classic to me.

Die Hard 2019

Killing because it's election time
Don't speak cos we have all loved and lost
And Come as you are b cause of the cheerleaders with tattoos

Omackeral

Match 3 RHCP- Under the Bridge. Captured a mood very well.

Match 4 Blackstreet- No Diggity. Because it should be in the competition

Match 5 No Doubt- Don't Speak Has a beautiful tragic quality to it.

Match 6 RATM-Killing in the name of Because it's off its own head

Triceratops Ballet

If my count is correct then no doubt and rage have already made the quota right
