From the Bracket to Your Stereo (The NFG Bracket) Bracket • Page 43

20 Years is a cool song but I'm going to have to go with Constant Static

 

20 Years From Now

 

CURRENT SCORES

Constant Static: 8
20 Years from Now: 3

 

Tbh I don’t think I’ve listened to 20 Year aside from the few times I watched the video I recorded. It did make me tear up but....

Constant Static


This (for me) will be a tougher album than the previous three. This band has soooooo many good B-Sides

Life is Killing Me is great but Summer is one of their best, honestly.

@BlackwingE any chance this round can stay open for a couple days? it’s pretty massive and i need to track down a lot of these songs!

 

Looks like 24 of the 32 songs this round are on Apple Music

 

The Minute I Met You
I Want to Believe
Forget Everything (this was so hard)
It's All Around You
Make It Right
Ex-Miss
Tip of the Iceberg
Connect the Dots
INothing for Christmas
Situations
If You Don't Love Me
Dig My Own Grave
Vacation Day
Giving Up on Me
Over Again

I might have to skip a few of these rounds until things get narrowed down a bit. Probably too many songs to listen to for the first time, but we shall see

 

Very much this

 

Constant Static
Golden
So Many Ways
Heaven Sent
Make It Right
Ex-Miss
Come Back Bon Jovi
Connect the Dots
Whiskey Rose
Situations
The Crown
Radio Adelaide
Vacation Day
Giving Up on Me

Sure. I'll keep this one open until monday!

 

I can't believe I went through every one of these songs, but here we are:

Constant Static
I Want To Believe
Forget Everything
Heaven Sent
Make It Right
The Enemy
Tip Of The Iceberg
Connect the Dots
Whiskey Rose
Making Plans
The Crown
Radio Adelaide
Snow
Sadness
Over Again
I'm The Fool

 

I’ve made it nearly all the way through these - I’ll wrap it up tomorrow morning probably.

I found the majority of the songs on Apple Music and went to YouTube for the rest, but wasn’t able to find Giving Up On Me.

Anyway, this was my first time hearing a lot of these songs.

And I also can’t believe that Dig My Own Grave is losing.

oh man so many of these were really hard. incredibly and obviously biased, but I really do think NFG has the best b-sides. so many of these songs are really really good.

some random thoughts: C and P were really hard but I went with both Sticks and Stones b-sides because those were the first NFG b-sides I ever heard on some Best Buy bonus disc and it was really exciting hearing unreleased songs for the first time like that.

thank you for including Giving Up On Me! I didn't think it would make the list because there is no MP3 of it anywhere and the last time I looked it wasn't even on Youtube. but it's a great song even if the rip I have of it sounds like mud. the Radiosurgery 7" is probably the 7" I have played the most on my record player because of it.

voting against two of the TOTI songs in the first round sucked but if I had to pick a favorite b-side it would be a coin flip between Come Back Bon Jovi / Radio Song and Radio Adelaide.

hearing Situations live last summer was awesome and I wish they played more b-sides live. when they were doing that thing a few years ago where they were pulling fans onstage to pick a song I had like 5 or 6 b-sides and some NGCS songs picked out that I was trying to narrow down if I somehow managed to get called up lol.

As stated earlier, I'm going to keep this first round open a little longer than normal so that everyone who wants to participate have the time to get through these match-ups. I'll probably do the same with the first round of the Covers bracket.

Also, see my last post about Giving Up on Me.

 

Thank you!
