This thread and the current "Future Peek" thread raise a good point (tangentially) about the difference between a good song and a good jam vehicle.

For example: To me, Rufus is just a good song, but a great jam vehicle. The jam is tacked on to the end of the composed portion and could conceivably come in the middle of Great Big Fiery Ball or Beef Barley or anything else, and Rufus gets more credit than it is due as a song because of this. Metropolis, on the other hand, is very well composed AND is a great jumping off point for jamming.

Of course, the specific examples are all based on opinion, but I hope that at least clears up what I\'m trying to say about the difference between a good song and good jam vehicle.

A little birdie just pointed out that I forgot about the expertly composed beginning, I was just thinking about the section with lyrics. But I guess you still get what I was saying about the difference between a great song and a great jumping off point for a jam.

Dude, if the drawings allow it this would be my Final Four. However, that\'s how I feel today. Come game time I\'ll have a very difficult time voting against Queeb after witnessing the Kinetic monster that was surely the best live anything I\'ve experienced since 11.11.05.

Hard Luck Harry Deserves to be the 2008 Tournament of Tunes Champion
« Reply #23 on: September 21, 2008, 09:10:34 pm »
I am starting the lobbying now because if anything else wins it will be a fucking disgrace.

It has been the best played song of 2008 hands down.

Forget about the iron horse version for a minute.

Listen to any other version they are almost all amazing. Many are epic. None disappoint.

They all wicked rageable, tasteful, experimental, etc. Everything that makes bfast jams great

here is some of them...pretty sure there is more out there too..

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=2008%20%20hard%20luck%20harry%20AND%20collection%3Aetree&sort=-date

 listen all those

then listen again to the best jam of the year and one of the best jams by any band ever, The Iron Harry

http://www.archive.org/details/breakfast2008-04-18.483.flac16

now wait for the TOT to begin and when it does vote with confidence and know that HLH is destined to be the champ

(if it is not you are all a bunch of fuckin newbs ;))

(for ser tho) :D

DUDE! I just put on the Iron Harry and played Burger Time and the jam had me locked COMPLETELY IN THE ZONE.  Wow.  I obliterated my old high score, COMPLETELY carried by the energy of the jam.  I just totally knew where every pickle, egg, and hot dog was going to attack, the perfect path to take, when to dodge and when to pepper... it was a once-in-a-lifetime game.  Thanks Iron Harry!

Haaaahahaaa... dudes I just listened to IHLH again TWICE today (had a few half hour drives) after listening to it at least once every day for the last couple of weeks. I could not agree more that it is the best jam I own.

I was planning on riding HLH to the winner\'s circle, so your lobbying efforts don\'t even matter for me. "I got my mind made up."

the number of times you can listen to it and not only not have it get old, but still amaze the shit out you time and time again and appreciate on new levels every time is pretty unprecedented.

but listen to some other versions too!!!!!

they may not touch IHLH (nothing really does though) but many of them blow away the majority of other songs jams produced by bfast in 2008

HLH is the song of the year.

2008 TOT champ or the whole thing is a sham

The point spread on votes in the final round is like 50 too.

Its just head and shoulders above everything else.

I hear ya. Any time I listen to a new show and Harry gets going I amp myself up for another sick jam. For me HLH and OE are guaranteed to rip every time and put me in a special place. Every, fucking, time. But yes, HLH owns this year, without a doubt.
