Chiefs Supersong Tournament: Round 2, Heat 5. (PICK TWO) - Page 2

**Rain Man** · 10-19-2018, 03:36 PM

Second verse, same as the first. This is the last heat of Round 2.

In Round Two, I'll put the nominees up in random clumps of five, and you'll pick the TWO musical acts that you would most like, or least hate, to see on the world's biggest stage as the Chiefs face some NFC team next year.

The rules are more or less non-existent. Lobby for anyone you like, post videos for us, and make any arguments against totally insipid groups and rappers. Convince us one way or the other.

But dammit, I really really like Ben Folds and how can you pass on the Stones? This was a genuinely tough heat, IMO.

Maybe because the Stones are overrated and they suck?

EPodolak · 10-19-2018, 05:04 PM

Rolling Stones are the best of a good heat. But like McCartney they don't belong at a SB halftime show, especially for a second time.

I usually have the sound turned down for halftime anyway, which makes Taylor Swift the best choice.

Love the Eagles almost as much as the Stones. I would turn up the sound for them.

Ben Folds, sure why not.

Don't know who Muse is.

Yes, it's an American game and an American championship. We have plenty of American bands that are good enough, like the three in this heat. I like the others and I think Muse is the best Arena act in this heat, but I've established my criteria and I'm sticking to it.

**Rain Man** · 10-19-2018, 06:33 PM

Ben needs more votes. I'll put up a song, and if you listen to it you'll vote for him.

**Rain Man** · 10-19-2018, 06:34 PM

Here's a fun song, too. Listen to the back story. The Super Bowl crowd would love to sing along in the chorus.

The more I think about it, Ben Folds is the best Super Bowl act possible among non-incumbents.

TwistedChief · 10-19-2018, 06:44 PM

Rain Man - you are the greatest thing that ever happened to CP and also Ben Folds, but I feel like you're selling him short pimping those good-but-not-great songs. This crowd is far more attuned to the angst of 'Song for the Dumped.'

It could be an ode to Clark Hunt after paying $50 for parking: "Give me my money back, give my money back, give me my money back, you bitch." And that black t-shirt?!

DAMN STRAIGHT!

And this intro from The Good The Bad and The Ugly is so ****ing great!

He could certainly go that way.

I like the one about an angry girlfriend stabbing his basketball. Given the NFL's positioning toward women, "Bitch Went Nuts" would certainly get a lot of media attention.

Or he could go mellow with "Rock This Bitch".

Wow,your disdain for ELO is amazing as they're easily one of the top 20 rock bands ever.

**Easy 6** · 10-19-2018, 07:07 PM

Finally! a list of options with two bands I can actually pick without puking... I'd love to see the Eagles get a crack at it, even with Glenn Freys son

I like ELO, but I must admit that I'm surprised by their strength here. I viewed them as a 70s band that had kind of disappeared under the sands of time.

Trivia: in the late 1970s in high school, I wore an ELO belt buckle. Someone gave it to me for Christmas and I liked the colors. I'm pretty sure it was this one.

1.) Muse
2.) Ben Folds
3.) Eagles
4.) Rolling Stones
5.) Taylor Swift

No doubt they are best known for their 70's work plus keep in mind jeff Lynne was also working with The Traveling Wilburys in the late 80's.They also released a project in 2001 which featured a song used in the film American Hustle...a damn great song btw.They also released a project in 2015 which hit number two on Billboard's Rock albums.

Good song.

The Travelling Willburys would have been a fantastic halftime act.
