[The Speaker]

I personally think Crowded House and most pop rock is hideously dated.

[SSwans2011]

Schism by Tool, nominated by Loonerty

I personally think Crowded House and most pop rock is hideously dated. Putting them on the shortlist was perhaps harsh, though, because it was always a two-horse race.

Schism by Tool, nominated by Loonerty

I don't even listen to Tool to know they're obvious for this theme so **** up SSwans2011

People gonna act like Crowded House is top s**t when it comes to Kiwi bands like this doesn't exist

 

[manangatang]

Radiohead have been nommed in this song contest 46 times. That song itself had been nommed 3 times. Tool have been nommed 19 times and 'Schism' is close to the most laughably predictable choice by them. If people aren't going to show some creativity and put some effort into their noms, excuse me for giving them the Billy.

At least most of the time when someone nominates something 's**t', they put some effort into it. They don't deserve a Sandler avatar for putting in effort, but unfortunately picking something people don't like. Someone phoning it in absolutely does deserve the Sandler avatar.

Holy crap you take this way too seriously.

Everything after "think".

Crowded House are Australian.

 

[The Speaker]

Everything after "think".

Although it is true that you think that statement. It's just that the statement itself is, at best, irrelevant to whether or not their songs are any good.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Oh no.

 

[NinjaSwan]

I've billied stuff for being obvious if it's already podiumed or been nommed a few times (from memory someone tried to nom Bizarre Love Triangle after it had already podiumed twice and won) but if it hasn't been nommed before after over 10000 entries I reckon it's fair game.

Crowded House are Australian.

Neil Finn is Kiwi and the band that got his family famous before that was also Kiwi. As far as I'm aware, noone gives a s**t about the rest of the band

No

 

[SSwans2011]

I don't even listen to Tool to know they're obvious for this theme so fu** up SSwans2011

Doesn't change the fact that Tool are the band every man and his dog associates with WaCkY time signatures.

Although it is true that you think that statement. It's just that the statement itself is, at best, irrelevant to whether or not their songs are any good.

Let me rephrase in terms more relevant to the song contest then. I personally think pop rock sucks.
