Unacclaimed V: Heats, Week 1
The way this game works is that you will be given two sets of four songs, your job is to rank each of the sets from best to worst. First place gets 4 points, second gets 3 etc.
The song with the most points in each set will advance to the semi-finals. If there is a tie for points, then the song with more first place votes will advance. If they are tied on first place votes as well, there will be a sudden death tiebreak. Also the six highest scoring non-winners in the heat stage (based off point per voter and then percentage of first place votes) will also advance to the semi-finals.
Feel free to ask any questions, deadline is next Wednesday at 15:00 UTC.

Excited this tournament is finally beginning! Although I wasn't great with my participation last go around, I hope to change that this year, having discovered some amazing tracks via this game.

I will say, Group Beta really outclassed Group Alpha - I think I'd put all four of its tracks over the other group's. And I don't want to dispute whether or not it should have been nominated/allowed, because it is legitimately an amazing track on its own right, but doesn't nominating a cover of one of the most wildly popular songs of all time feel slightly off-spirit to this game? No offense to the original nominator.

Re: Unacclaimed V: Heats, Week 1
I think the spirit of the game is to discover great songs. Like you said, it is an amazing track in its own right, so I wanted to share it with you guys. I discovered it from the documentary Muscle Shoals, which I highly recommend.acroamor wrote:I will say, Group Beta really outclassed Group Alpha - I think I'd put all four of its tracks over the other group's. And I don't want to dispute whether or not it should have been nominated/allowed, because it is legitimately an amazing track on its own right, but doesn't nominating a cover of one of the most wildly popular songs of all time feel slightly off-spirit to this game? No offense to the original nominator.
From Wikipedia:
In 1968, R&B singer Wilson Pickett released a cover recorded at Muscle Shoals, with guitar from a young Duane Allman, who recommended the choice to Pickett. Eric Clapton commented, "I remember hearing [it] and calling either Ahmet Ertegun or Tom Dowd and saying, 'Who's that guitar player?' ... To this day, I've never heard better rock guitar playing on an R&B record. It's the best." Session musician Jimmy Johnson said that Allman's solo "created Southern rock".
Those kinds of accolades, along with just how incredible and unique the song sounds, make it a no-brainer to deserve inclusion on this site in my view. The fact that it is not makes me think it desperately needs more exposure in games like this. I think it's the best cover of a top-500 song by a wide margin, and the only top-1000 covers I prefer are Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower, Buckley's Hallelujah, and Johnny Cash's Hurt, which are all in the top 500 themselves, where I think this song belongs.
For what it's worth, Finch - What It Is to Burn, would have been my next nominee to get in, and I don't think it's the kind of song that would do well here.

I agree about Group Beta's quality, almost impossible to rank. I also enjoyed Rita Lee a great deal, love the guitar coda.

Re: Unacclaimed V: Heats, Week 1
One minute into ”Running in the 90s” I was sure I would put it dead last (like almost everyone else, it seems), but then the furious tempo became irresistible. It’s the song from this batch that I find myself coming back too.
Just wanted to say that. Ranking later.

Ranking coming soon, but I definitely respect whoever put Running in the '90s on their list. Supposing we'll see Sandstorm or Dragostea Din Tei in another batch?

Re: Unacclaimed V: Heats, Week 1
A very solid start this week! I was hoping to listen more before voting, but I don't want to miss the deadline. I'll make another post if I decide to edit the order.
Alpha:
1. David Axelrod - "Holy Tuesday"
2. Max Coveri - "Running in the 90's"
3. Woods - "The Other Side"
4. Rita Lee - "Ovelha Negra"
I liked all four of these! It came down to a battle between the stately beauty of "Holy Tuesday" and the thrill-ride of "Running in the 90's", and the elgance of David Axelrod's song won out in the end.
Beta:
1. Gemini Eye - "The Doula's Tulpa"
2. Kimio Etō - "Midare"
3. Wilson Pickett - "Hey Jude"
4. BØRNS - "Electric Love"
Again, I liked all four songs (yes, even a Beatles cover!), but the fun synth effects of "The Doula's Tulpa" won the day for me. Most unexpected for me was the fact that Wilson Pickett made something worthwhile out of "Hey Jude" - his impassioned vocal screams at the end are a thing to behold!

Very solid, mostly. In contrast to Henrik I liked Running in the 90s most in it's first minute, when it reminded me of some old video game track played in overdrive. Then the vocals came on and I didn't like those.
