    I'm no Beatles fan, but anyone who votes Smash Mouth over them needs to have a long look in the mirror and ask themselves if they're really the person they want to be


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    One of my nominations hasn't appeared yet? Did it go straight to the next round?

    Let It Be is just one of those songs that I've always disliked. I'd have voted for nearly any other Beatles song if it was there.

    Tbf, Tribute is every bit as much self-indulgent wankery as the One D song is..


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,160 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Ok time to wrap this up:

    Post Malone - Rockstar 1-4 Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears

    Based on there seemingly being no more votes for this match I will now vote for the song with the most votes:

    Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears.

    Post Malone - Rockstar 1-5 Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears


    Round 1 coming up shortly!
