Decades Feeder Bracket - 1997 Round of 16

[MetalDog]

Yup.  I get it.  Not your usual lineup to choose from.  A lot of pop/dance music.  It's a product of what was out and what I liked.  It's almost definite that I have completely ignored whole (sub)genres through ignorance or not liking the representative songs I was familiar with.  My loss I guess.  But your gain, because all the songs I present to you are pretty catchy/famous/awesome and you should embrace your pop side every once in awhile.  How else are you going to make a soundtrack to dance in the rain to?  The bottom of the Bracket does have some real instruments played in them, and I hope you like those choices, too.  In any event, this is 1997.  Thank you all for voting along with me.  I very much appreciate it. :)  :bd:

Well, there's only 2 songs in there I hope make it to the end, so this year is likely to be an exercise in disappointment for me....

For me it's three songs, but two of them are in the same matchup.  :(

You people are killing me.  That's some good music up there! 

[Emeraldlis]

I have no problem whatsoever embracing my pop side :) there are a few songs in that list I've never heard of before! Maybe they never got played in the UK.... Or they passed me by!

There are some cool songs in that list though, good choices MD  I really thought the song, crash into me, sounded beautiful :)

Whoa.  :o Emeraldlis, have you never heard of Dave Matthews Band? That surprises me; I thought he was international. Maybe not.

Nope.... Never heard of that band, lol, it's probably that I've been living under a musical rock.  ;D And instead of going to bed like any sensible person would, Who has to be up at 4am to catch a flight......I'm now gonna have to go listen to some more of that guys music!!!!!!!  :D

The Groo Grux King album is good as is Under The Table And Dreaming.

There's one song that's clearly head and shoulders above all the rest.  It should be no contest.  We should just stop right now, cut to the chase, and appoint the obvious winner in this bracket.

Don't disappoint me!   :)

Oh that's cool  thanks mate, I'll go look that up  O0 I take it you're a fan?

[BanzaiCat]

Used to be. I mean, I'll listen to it if it's on, but I don't go seeking his music out anymore. Groo Grux King I think came out about 8-10 years ago; I've no idea if he's done more. It's still pretty good music though.

Dave Matthews was sort of local (Charlottesville VA).  People either seem to get him, or not.  I was in the latter category.  But I won't deny his popularity - he was a big deal in the late 1990s.

In 1997, my daughters were 8 and 11 years old, so I heard plenty of Spice Girls, and even saw the movie with them.  They were sort of charming and funny in their own way.  But I won't listen to that song because if I do it will be stuck in my head the next time I go for a run.  Must - play - some - Zeppelin.

Wallflowers was founded by Bob Dylan's son.

Gotcha  O0 oh well, I guess I'm only 10 years late to the party!!!! Haha :)  I think I'm gonna enjoy discovering his music though  :dreamer: thanks for the info  ;)

Awesome, local boy done good  O0 I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be in the category that gets him :) I just like his laid back, almost lazy understated style, that he seems to have going on in that song. It sounds cool to me  8)  but if that's not your type of vibe, fair enough :) or maybe it is,  and you just don't hear it on that song!

Dave Mathews is one of my very favorite performers!  You are in for a treat, Em!  It'll be fun to post up some of my favorites in the Jukebox thread for you.
