The first round had 92 songs up against one another, and today round 2 starts up with the 46 songs a majority of you voted to advance. You can start voting in round 2 on the tournament page. Voting will end July 25th 11:59pm (2d 9h 41m) If you want to see a long breakdown of the bracket as it stands at round 2, check that out here. For full details about the tournament read this post. Also,l I made a couple changes to the audio players to hopefully make them work more consistently cross-browser. I tested in Chrome, Firefox and IE and all worked ok for me.

PanicAttack! Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Static Age needs to go, it hardly qualifies! I think people tend to judge more by the sound of the whole band than the guitar in particular, Static Age really has more of an interlude than a solo, the bass and drums are just as prominent as the guitar, which takes out the meaning of "solo" in itself. But then again it's hard not to get influenced by the underlying groove as well, the solo in Makeout Party would be little without it. But it's not that difficult to just try and judge the guitar by itself. Is it the bass or drums I like? Is it just the plain melody of the chorus that it plays? Is it actually not a guitar? (hmph, Misery)... But it seems it is turning into a Trilogy vs. Oldies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dare to vote !!!! It's like condemning my own favorite songs !!!! It's just the solo you need to judge, not the song as a whole. I've made some funny choices as well, choosing one of my lesser favorites over some of my absolute favorites, simply because it has a better solo. To start you off; When I Come Around = Classic song, a favorite, but short, dull and uninspired solo, if you could dare call it a solo. Judge's Daughter = A decent song in its entirety, but completely overshadowed by its skillful and fastpaced solo, which is a prime example of Billie Joe's unique soloing style that he rarely shows off anymore. It's an easy choice = Judge's Daughter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyDirnt Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Kinda disgusted that WMUWSE is out. That solo is magnificent and utterly emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanicAttack! Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Those are to me the best solos anyway Seems like the reason behind that is that he has brought his early style into the 21st century, the best examples from the trilogy sound very inspired by the early solos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyDirnt Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Seems like the reason behind that is that he has brought his early style into the 21st century, the best examples from the trilogy sound very inspired by the early solos And that was such a great thing to do! From AI and 21st CB the solos are pretty mediocre to me. The only ones I know I like are the ones for WMUWSE, Holiday and Know Your Enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
