I don't think that match up is settled looks like 9 - 8 to Nirvana but they need another to make the quota.
Somebody above voted for come as you are and Soundgarden so I didn't count that not sure how Kolido will deal with that

RHCP also lol like they're through

R4/Match 7
The Cranberries - Zombie
My favourite song by the Cranberries and it really shows off Dolores' vocal range.

R4/Match 8
Sinead O Connor - Nothing Compares to You
This really shows off what an amazing voice that Sinead has.

Better song imo. Comes down to preference I guess.

I detest that Sinead O Connor song and thus will vote against it often.

So, REM because it isn't Sinead O'Connor

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 23-01-2020 10:12AM

The Cranberries - Zombie - tough call. I love both bands and both tracks are great, but Zombie is probably just a bit more iconic than The Universal.

R.E.M. - Losing My Religion - was hoping these wouldn't go head to head, both should be in the quarter finals, gotta go with R.E.M. though as Losing My Religion is one of my noms and such an epic song.

R4/Match 7
The Cranberries - Zombie

Haunting, epic and iconic

R4/Match 8
Sinead O Connor - Nothing Compares to You

Something very tragic and pleading about it

Electric Nitwit · 23-01-2020 10:17AM

Cranberries
REM

The first gig I ever went to was these two

That's not it my reason though. I never really liked The Universal, whereas I remember the first time I heard Zombie, holy shıt! After the niceties of the first album it blew me away. And I've never loved Nothing Compares and, though this isn't my favourite REM by a long stretch, they were such a part of my childhood I want them to progress

Green&Red · 23-01-2020 10:18AM

Blur and REM

23-01-2020 10:19AM

The universal

I’m a bit of a blur fan and not so much a cranberries fan

Nothing compares to you

It was written by Prince who we haven’t seen enough of in this competition

loyatemu · 23-01-2020 10:20AM

Blur - not their greatest song, but I hate "Zombie"
REM - this would be a reasonable pick for tune of the 90s, kickstarted REM stint as one of the worlds biggest bands, and was very influential on the rise of alt-rock during the mid 90s (though it actually didn't even make the top 10 in the UK at the time).

Cranberries - Zombie

Whilst I am a fan of The Universal I think this is the Cranberries best track and deserving of a place in the next round. Dolores' voice is exceptional and it's a song I'd still listen to today

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U

This was exceptionally tough as I am a big REM fan and really like Losing my Religion but I am basing this off the fact that I loved this track when I heard it first in the 90s and still love it today. My fondness for rock music only developed in my late teens so I have to give the nod to Sinead on this one for longevity!

23-01-2020 10:34AM

Zombie - monster chorus and overall just a better song than The Universal imo.

Nothing Compares 2 U - beautiful song with a haunting vocal. Losing My Religion is good but REM have better songs imo.

I'm not mad about either so I abstain.

R4/Match 8

Sinead O Connor - Nothing Compares to You

vs

R.E.M. - Losing My Religion

My vote is for Losing My Religion because of the nice mandolin work, plus I am a bit tired of the other song.

My abstention and my vote above.

Rikand · 23-01-2020 10:44AM

Blur the universal. Great song from a great band

Sinead o connor. I do like that REM song but I think sinead is a more iconic 90s classic

Rikand · 23-01-2020 10:46AM

7-4 to the cranberries
6-4 to sinead

Is there a secret irish bias in us I wonder lol

Amazing vocalist and writer

rainbowtrout · 23-01-2020 10:48AM

The Cranberries - Zombie - This is a great song, and I don't think The Universal is Blur's best.

R.E.M. - Losing My Religion - I nominated this song so i'm sticking with it.

Zaph · 23-01-2020 10:50AM

Match 7 - Blur - The Universal. Not a Blur fan at all, but this is one of their few songs that I actually like.

Match 8 - No opinion

Big Vern · 23-01-2020 10:56AM

Blur - The Universal. Not a big Blur fan, but really like this song, find it kind of uplifting. Zombie is a good song but prefer Blur's

R4/Match 8
R.E.M. - Losing My Religion. Big REM fan (mainly early stuff) and always liked this song. Nothing Compares is good, but ive got fed up hearing it to be honest.

Triceratops Ballet · 23-01-2020 10:57AM

The Cranberries - Zombie
not my fave cranberries song but defo beats Blur.

R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
this is my fave REM song, I like the melody and the idea behind it

Kolido · 23-01-2020 11:06AM

Blur - The Universal 5 9 The Cranberries - Zombie
Sinead O Connor - Nothing Compares to You 7 *7 R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
