Post by: Todd on September 26, 2007, 10:32:50 am: NGNL never had a chance, being that it could never inseminate.

Post by: FreeSpirit on September 26, 2007, 01:21:57 pm: wow. I love NGNL & that gets my vote... lots of energy & funkiness. Vera st is way too boring & slow for me!

Post by: Spacey on September 26, 2007, 01:51:36 pm: People really love Vera Street that much?

Wow. I know that lyrically NGNL is bottom of the barrel but Vera Street isn\'t played enough to make it worth voting for IMO.

I also hate Vera Street with a passion.

Post by: SlimPickens on September 26, 2007, 02:05:57 pm: Gotta go NGNL. Vera St. sounds great on the small acoustic show level... but that\'s infrequent so I\'m gonna go w/ the health class anthem.

Has the Trojan Condom company ever been approached about using this song for a commercial?

I am in the same boat but I can stand to listen to the music of NGNL then to Vera St. but that is just my opinion.

again, this is a non-issue. it\'s about which song you like better.

true, but for myself the song needs to be played in order for me to like it more.

and just for clarification, the ToT is for which song we liked best in 2006-2007 or just all around.

you vote the way you see fit. vote for the song you like better. of course, recent performances of songs will impact decisions, and that\'s great, but like i said, songs can\'t be counted out just because they aren\'t played.

Post by: Spacey on September 26, 2007, 08:30:03 pm: no diggity but I use the that as my train of thought and I thought I would just offer my reasoning behind picking what song I picked.

its all good in the hood.

I understand what you are getting at and didn\'t mean for you to perceive what I said as you should have omitted these songs, I like the pre-tourney idea.

exactly. there\'s a reason why these songs are where they are in the tourney, but we can\'t pretend they don\'t exist.

You\'re pretending Beer Jubilee and Vortex don\'t exist. I want my annual vote for Beer Jubilee. You can\'t pretend it doesn\'t exist just because it isn\'t being played.

Post by: Overexjoesure on September 27, 2007, 12:53:29 am: Vera St is one of their best, hands down. The jazzy melodies, Beatlesesque harmonies and pillow made from someone else\'s blood all contribute to one of their most matured pieces to date.

No Glove = a good lesson for us all!

Post by: derickw on September 27, 2007, 08:32:57 am: come on no glove.... Vera Streets nice but acoustic is the only way to go with this tune and i\'d rather rock out to the music in NGNL
Title: TOT Prelim Round: Vera Street def. No Glove No Love 29-25
Post by: tyzack on September 27, 2007, 10:43:42 am: I say vera street because it\'s a more, i dunno, serious song. No glove no love has always been kind of a joke song to me. It\'s funny and I laugh when they play it, but, I would prefer vera street.

Post by: FreeSpirit on September 27, 2007, 08:01:58 pm: NG rules... it may be silly, but it\'s got a great beat & energy in it, whereas Vera street doesn\'t grab my attention.

Post by: antbach on September 27, 2007, 08:04:56 pm: ngnl, cos that song, along with a bottle of whiskey being passed around in tim\'s old van, led to my downfall at SCSU many moons ago.

Post by: Spacey on September 27, 2007, 08:12:38 pm: I\'m shocked that 24 people like Vera Street as a song in general.

Post by: boombox on September 29, 2007, 04:24:07 pm: Am one of the few who actually quite likes NGNL - it\'s fine if you accept it for what it is. However, Vera St is one of my all time favourite pb/bfast ballads, so gets my vote.

Can we start a Team Vera Street that is all about shelving the tune?

I would let my head be put in a vice grip and closed before I would want to hear them play that tune at a Breakfast show.

This is only my opinion. I would have voted against Vera Street if it was up against no song.

Post by: Gordo on October 02, 2007, 02:52:24 am: ^^ HA!

(also my opinion)

I\'m officialy a member of "Team Shelve Vera Permanantly", even if it\'s only two of us.

I\'ll start Team Drunk Monkey Bar, though.

Space are you trying to say you don\'t like Vera Street....... i thought you had a disk with all different versions of that tune that you rock out to in your car

Tim\'s voice sounds ridiculous.
The melodies sound like some rugurgitated adult-contemporary bullshit.
I do like the pillow made from someone else\'s blood.
I\'m missing why this piece is mature.
Sure it\'s different than most of their other tunes but I don\'t find it original, generally speaking.
I\'ll take Good Things or TL&TG as slow, mature gems with Beatlesesque harmonies.
I\'m listening to Vera Street right now and the corny synth is killing me.
Stop the la-la-la\'s for the love of god!
