Also Starring LeVar Burton

This must be the first time in one of these tournaments, I've been the voice of reason. A lot of people seem to be simmering with rage.

Ah, I'm just being melodramatic.

It wouldn't be near as fun if we didn't give out :pac:

True of some people certainly, and I'm always a fan of the melodrama, but I'm sensing there are some people genuinely outraged.

Anyone who's feeling genuine rage right now...

I think lassy's head would have genuinely exploded had Steps beaten Pearl Jam :P

I've long accepted that what I listened to in the 90s was very different to what most other people listened to. Doesn't mean I can't give out about how wrong you all are.

If we dont let people know that their taste in music is dishwater then how will they ever know

I know, I'm just enjoying this stirring opportunity, as usually I'm the one giving out

As I moved into my thirties I tried to keep my opinions to myself especially online but yeah I think I would have had quite a moment :pac:

Don't filter feelings lassykk. It feels better when you get it all out. Not to mention we all love to see a good meltdown.

3 of my nominations left, The Prodigy, TLC and Emimen. For the ones getting upset sure if we all liked the same music it would suck. I love a bit of 90's cheese (likes of steps etc). I think as well its to do with your age/stage of life at the time and how much the music might have meant to you and memories you made.
May the best act win (especially if its one of my remaining acts!)

Manic street preachers
Guns N Roses

ILikeBoats

Both very difficult!

Manic street preachers vs REM
Being subjective, REM offered more to music, in my opinion even if I have fonder memories of MSP

Nirvana vs Guns N Roses
Very tough. I love both. Both iconic. Think GnR just edge it

the purple tin

Manic street preachers vs REM
Nirvana vs Guns N Roses-Nirvana had a great output in the 90s, if GnR had released Appetite in the 90s then they would walk it.

lassykk

REM - Absolutely love some of their songs whereas the MSP I like a couple but wouldn't listen to them regularly

Guns N Roses - November Rain is one of my favourite songs and that alone is enough for me to give them the nod

The Mighty Quinn

Manic street preachers vs REM
Hmm, I enjoy MSP but really love REM's output.

Nirvana vs Guns N Roses
GNR for 80s output, Nirvana for 90s

Gru

Manic street preachers - i like them both but the Manics edge it for me.
Nirvana - my favourite of the two

Rem

Nirvana

Necro

Manics - Revenge for Oasis plus I like them more

Guns N Roses. My nom and Nirvana won enough on this board already so time to take a stand

It is understandable if people get uset, you pick your favourite bands and send them into the contest only to watch them get savaged.
It is like sending your child into their first day of school and then they get picked on by a load of bullies :P

Zaph

Manic street preachers - my nomination

Nirvana vs Guns N Roses - ABSTAIN. Both are grand and have some good songs, but I can't say I like one more than the other enough to decide between them.

I don't have or want kids, but I doubt its even close to the same thing...






















...having your favourite bands torn to shreds is far worse

Sawduck

REM - manic have come far enough, it's time for them to go
Guns N Roses - both are great but these make for a less predicable winner

Thought the 90s was peak manics imo. They're one of my noms.

Yea actually your right, timttmy coming at the end of the 90’s would be more to my liking, big fan, though still the amount of quality rem put out in the 90’s it’s hard to see anybody touching them

REM - Much better band in every respect. Manic Street Preachers are, to borrow Necro's earlier wording, "drab, moany and boring".

Nirvana - a tad overrated maybe but still pretty damn influential and had some great tunes.

I really don’t want nirvana to win.

Hey, it's the 90s, girlfriend!
Ask people to name a band from the 90s and most people will say Nirvana.
But they do seem to be steamrolling all the contests. Cover version, 90s song etc.

Irish Aris

I think Nirvana were quintessential 90s. I wouldn't be a huge fan but I can understand why people liked them and I'm OK with them winning.
Having said that, my vote will go to REM for as long as they are in the competition. 2 amazing and another 2 very good albums during the 90s!!
