Why don’t you like it?

I mostly think the guitars sound like garbage

They do.

Yet, you picked the team that had 2 bad Core songs, plus a Led Zep cover song over mine. Sheesh.

Yeah but No Way Out, Long Way Home, and Dancing Days are all top-tier STP tracks

Plus, Weiland hadn't really found that sweet spot in his vocal range yet. I think Core comes across as sounding monochrome for the most part. From Purple onward, there are many different colors.

Core is their 4th best album at best.

My problems with Core are the basic song structures. It really is part A, Part B, part C, part B and maybe part C again. the songs repeat themselves too much and I've had enough before the song is over.

No. 4 and Purple are the definitive “hard rock” STP albums.

EJ
1. Silvergun Superman
2. All in the Suit that You Wear
3. You Can’t Drive Me Away
4. Church on Tuesday
5. Dare if you Dare
6. Daisy


VS

jammer
1. Sin
2. Where the River Goes
3. No Way Out
4. Long Way Home
5. Hollywood Bitch
6. Dancing Days

No contest here. Aside from Long Way Home, Jammer's team isn't super interesting and EJ's is.

Matchup Two
iholdthepain
1. Big Empty
2. Creep
3. Crackerman
4. Sex & Violence
5. Coma
6. Wet My Bed

VS.

darth_vedder
1. Unglued
2. Big Bang Baby
3. I Got You
4. Army Ants
5. Heed the Water Whisperer
6.About a Fool


I'm more of a poppy/melodic fan when it comes to STP songs and darth has that going on here.

Matchup Three
washing machine
1. Meatplow
2. Lady Picture Show
3. Sour Girl
4. Art School Girl
5. MC5
6. First Kiss on Mars


VS.

Let Me Sleep
1. Lounge Fly
2. Seven Caged Tigers
3. Too Cool Queenie
4. Bi-Polar Bear
5. Naked Sunday
6. Between the Lines

I like my team.

Matchup Four
PHATJ
1. Still Remains
2. Glide
3. Ride the Cliche
4. Regeneration
5. Dumb Love
6. Fast As I Can


VS.

wease
1. Kitchenware & Candybars
2. Sex Type Thing
3. Heaven & Hot Rods
4. Pretty Penny
5. Piece of Pie
6. 12 Gracious Melodies

PHATJ has one of my favorite teams. He picked the song I thought should be first round #1 pick, and the deeper the team goes the more I like it. Some of my favorite STP songs here.

Matchup Five
Bada
1. Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart
2. Adhesive
3. Take a Load Off
4. Black Again
5. A Song for Sleeping
6. Maver


VS.

i got bugs
1. Atlanta
2. Hello It’s Late
3. Transmissions from a Lonely Room
4. Dead and Bloated
5. Samba Nova
6. Learning to Drive


This one was TOUGH. I hate voting against the songs that I love on Bada's team, but bugs has really mined the "bad" albums for some great songs. Good strategy getting ahead of Shangri La before it was too late. Atlanta is a classic, too.

Matchup Six
LV
1. Interstate Love Song
2. Plush
3. Tumble in the Rough
4. Pruno
5. Wicked Garden
6. Cinnamon



VS.

vinylguy
1. Vasoline
2. Pop’s Love Suicide
3. And So I Know
4. Down
5. Wonderful
6. Hickory Dichotomy

I really, really wanted And So I Know, but it just didn't work out. I would listen to LV's six song mix more than VG's, and I really respect LV for looking the mainstream singles in the eye the first two rounds and saying, "yeah...they're still not overplayed." Because they aren't. Good teams, both.

Nice job, wm. Solid picks. I’m glad you like my team. I think I’ll do a quick explanation of my choices like you did. I got nothing better to do right now!
