Gotta go with Pearl Jam, even if that's about the 4th best song on Ten

We'll that's a great album! Lots of great songs on there.
I got into Nirvana a Lil later in the 90s due to my stepson and Lil brother inlaw. But even then, I was never a fan of teen spirit.
Love both songs. One of the harder finals for me.
I love both bands, but Smells Like Teen Spirit is not my favorite Nirvana song. Even Flow for the win.
If you look at my avatar, you'll be able to figure out which song I voted for. I like Nirvana a lot, but the real reason I have Kurt as my avatar is that when I was in high school, I had long blonde hair and looked sort of like him.
In the other matchup, I was disappointed to see Pearl Jam beat Metallica.
^Don't blame me, I voted for Slim Whitman.
I love his chocolate boxes.

Okay. Oysters are kind of hard and rock like and they make pearls. Pearls kind of look like Horta eggs. I must vote for Pearl Jam!

He did splice a mean sampler.
And the winner is...Even Flow! Another total blowing of my mind. Smells Like...was my overall Number One seed!!! Not because I like the song, but due to its signifcance. Plus, I pegged quite a few of you as about the right age for that song to be the be all end all. Now what do I do?!?!?!?!?!

Nirvana was great back then, but Pearl Jam aged better.
Neither one holds a candle to Boxcar Willie.
Or Steamboat Willie.
Now, all you punks git offa muh lawn!
Evenflow is one of my favorite songs. Takes me to a happy place. Smells Like Teen Spirit is epic of course but makes me want to burn down the special place.

Evenflow I can still listen too (surprisingly)...SLTS makes me change the station / skip to next track at this point...much like most AC\DC, Van Halen, and MD's favorite band BJ

Great comments, Gus. I love both songs, Evenflow makes me play air guitar, SLTS makes me bang my head and jump up and down a little. Evenflow is clearly the safer choice for a man of my years, hence my vote...... 8)
Even now, the energy of Teen Spirit still moves me.
Even Flow reminds me of Dave Matthews.
I was hoping the final showdown would be Sandman and Teen Spirit.
Dave Matthews? I need to smoke more weed, I think. Evenflow reminds me more of Chris Matthews than Dave Matthews.
Grrrr. I had Even Flow stuck in my mind during my run this morning. :tickedoff: :pullhair: >:(
You're welcome. For the last three weeks I have had a constant rotation of Soundgarden and Audioslave music on my mind during runs and otherwise.
"Thunderstruck" and "She Talks To Angels" here. I can live with that.
Thunderstruck is a Gus Family Anthem...everyone loves it!

No big surprise, but they play it at every Oklahoma Thunder basketball game, at least every one I've attended.
Required by Okie law, eh?
You dont' think Okies can get down with the rock and roll, Gus? Sad puppy.
Where did I say that, Dad? Put your glasses on!
Hey, I'm a transplanted Texan anyway, Gus. Not something you brag about living in Oklahoma :coolsmiley:

So you can never really be an Okie
You leave my Dad alone.
I thought Star was your Daddy. Oh, wait, that's a different daddy.
Star is missing in action for the last 6 months.
His goat lust has consumed him.
Sad. But true.

It's my adopted home and I bleed OU Sooners and Thunder basketball, brother. Of course, if I could have talked my kids into moving to Phoenix I would bleed Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks. But not the Cardinals.....never the Cardinals. I have my limits.
