The 2008 Tournament of Tunes Discussion Thread

[Klout]

queeb is probably the closet competitor.  The two best versions of the year (canton and sterling) were not even recorded either. if they were who knows.

mayfly has also been kickin and very expansive all year.
 
OE has deffinitly been solid but last year was its year and it got trumped by mooboos

Tunage was once on top of the heap but it lost a lot of steam since the VJ incident. yea it is back but it took a major major hit there

So the top seeds are def

1. HLH
2. Queeb.
3. OE
4. Tunage/Mayfly

in that order

but HLH takes the cake.

I\'m going to boycott the TOT until Ahoy! is added as it\'s own selection.

I thought you had your own thread?

What, I\'m only able to talk in one thread?

The Sound = my second runner up

The Sound = my second runner up

The Sound will need to make a big splash in the next three months to even enter this discussion. At the moment, it\'s definitely on my short list for 2009, though.

The real "problem" here is that so many good songs debuted in a short period of time, that none of them racked up a ton of dominant performances. For example, for every sick version of Metropolis, there is a Rush out there to match if not top it.

Please do. We\'ll see you never.

Bye! :wave2:

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!

greatest post ever

Well, it certainly qualifies for .info geekdom of the highest order ever.  Listen to a Breakfast jam you linked to from .info while setting a high score in the .info arcade, then make a post about doing all that.  That\'s ser geekdom.  

As much as  I love Harry...go team OE!  I like to think I helped drive the drain that drove OE to the TOT Championship as a 5 seed in its first year.  If I listened to OE and played Monkey Cliff Diving I might qualify for a World Wildlife Fund recognition award because I would save so many monkeys.

Fact: Beef Barley, a song that probably hasn\'t been requested by a fan since 2002, has been a monster every time it has been played in 2008.

ahem...i know for a fact that i\'ve been to shows praying to the song gods to give me some barley

go team BEEF!

oh...and by the by, OE is overexposed....sorry, it\'s just how it is.

And so it goes?

some random kid at UBeephree asked me if they were going to play beef barley

[peaches626]

it\'s kinda cute that numbers thinks he was the first person to pluralize rufus....

[Gordo]

Beef Barley produces some solid jams, but I could certainly do without a BB at any and every show I attend. I\'ve heard it about 50 too many times at this point and its pace makes it boring as all hell to me. And Tim\'s "babadoopskoopdidlydooda" makes me embarassed for him.

OE is overexposed? I think you need to sit down, fix yourself a cup of hot tea and think about your mistake here.

[Jim Cobb]

Metropolis all the way

I take it you were the first then? I need the truth so I can stop prematurely congratulating people on "Rufi" and its genius creation.

[davepeck]

considering it was actually Gabe who did it, back in june of 2005, long before numbers knew who the breakfast was...


or even had pubes for that matter.
