Team Hill To Die On: @Striiker is a good noodle.

Maybe, but only if he gives me his Spite Supergroup name today.

I will withhold his Dino nugz until he does so

For my 5th spite group member we reluctantly select Beabadoo...nope, I can't pull the trigger. Instead, let's go with Greg Gonzalez of Cigarettes After Sex, a choice that may well displease someone or other here.

I was fine about his band. Just fine, no more and no less. My wife was a fan though and dragged me out to watch them play. It was one of the 3 most unsatisfying shows I've ever been to, and that includes the otherwise excellent [Ranch] being so blasted out of her mind that she couldn't really perform. The band was good, and the drummer was actually putting in work with a minimalist kit, but I just couldn't stomach Gonzalez preening around on stage like some kind of balding tax attorney in rock star lothario drag. Never has anyone who so struggled to pull off a leather jacket persisted in wearing one. Also, every CAS song sounds exactly the same, and a whole set of it was a major turn off for me, despite all of the necking couples around me at the show.

For Team Hill To Die On, I couldn't decide if I wanted the "completely obvious who could refute this?" kind of option like declaring Liz Phair better than Alanis Morrissette or if I wanted to drop a lure in the water with some controversial bait, like ranking Star Wars movies. I'll let you decide which way I went #lore.

Team Hill To Die On: @Striiker is a good noodle.

@mja , I imagine you have both a gif and a pick at the ready.

Nope, not a good noodle, he's a bad seed.

You just have to choose one of the points of your rightness on which the rest of the world is the most wrong.

I get that. I have plenty of hills I’d kill on, none I’d die on tho

 

[BernieParent]

I get that. I have plenty of hills I’d kill on, none I’d die on tho

Things in common on the hill you would kill on and die on: you

Things different on the hill you would kill on and die on: the number of people trying to kill you

Spite Band Member Selection: John Cougar Mellancamp.

Don't think I despise two songs more than Small Town and Jack and Diane. Instant station change or skip whenever I hear it. Not a fan. Join the spite band.

Just thought of a third song I hate from the 80s. I Melt with You by Modern English. Songs are music diarrhea.

@GKJ

Also, chord wise, Melt With You is a blatant rip off of the Stones You Can’t Always Get What You Want.

But then again the Stones, aka Mick and Keith, rip off pretty much everybody including their own band mates. Just ask Mick Taylor about the song Time Waits For No One.

Literally my favorite song of all time. You are functionally deaf.

I don’t hate it, lol. In fact I sometimes do it and the Stones tune as a mashup.

 

[Lord Defect]

I found my hill. It won’t be liked.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

I'm gonna go with Lea Thompson as team babe because, you know, Back to the Future and I'm not sure how much energy I can put into team babe, lol.

 

[Lord Defect]

Are there enough well known cult leaders to do a run on them?

Great pick. His music blows.

I Melt With You is a great song though and Cap is going to murder you for that.

Lorraine McFly is a total babe

Spite pick time: I would have less of a problem with The Edge’s hubris given that he goes by ‘The Edge’ if U2 was any semblance of the band they were before the mid-90’s.

They did “Get On Your Boots” for the No Line On the Horizon album, hoping that it would be just like “Pump it up” by Elvis Costello - which was done in 1978. U2 was already a band in 1978, and they wanted to do a song that was like a song that was new when they were a band for 2 years, and do it in 2009. Why not just do it like you did 30 years prior and sound like that? Why make an album that apple downloaded to every phone? And “Beautiful Thing” and “Vertigo,” just, yuck. I’ll consider seeing your your but just play all the old shit.

U2 has also been around as a band today as long as The Rolling Stones were in 2008.

Because they’re insufferable pricks

 

[Magua]

I was gonna be offended, but then I realized it doesn’t even make the top 5 of offending this spite draft.

 

[Lord Defect]

Are we going to draft team serial killers? Or cereal killers?

 

[Magua]

Are we going to draft team serial killers

This whole last page is seemingly designed to enrage Cap.

@DancingPanther

You can hate them all you want, but "hubris" and the Edge are two things that don't belong together. I can't think of a word that applies LESS to that guy.

All of a sudden this thread is trying to give me a nervous breakdown.

You would know if anyone does.
