HiaWG is even more edgy, tho, in terms of proving unconventionality. I've got no problem with with legitimately preferring one song over another, but defying distant Rolling Stone/Uncut editors is a goofy punk rawk teenager rationale.

I trust the board to pull this back in the remaining time we have left.

I threw in my vote (however reluctantly) to Revolution. One more gets a tie and re-run. Surely Crissdong can log in to help …

Re: Final Round 12
Maybe, just maybe, while SFF is great, not everyone thinks it's the best, and that's not so much an edgelord opinion as a regular opinion?

Re: Final Round 12
As a joke! I mean, if these results actually caused a RS editor to have heart palpitations, sure, that'd be cool. But it's just us here, so giving the finger to those phantoms seems as lame as people who say they hate the Beatles because they're revered. Relying on those external cues are weird given that we're all supposed to be guided by individual preference and taste.Flex wrote: ↑05 May 2021, 1:32pmYesterday you said you supported that position!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 May 2021, 1:15pmHiaWG is even more edgy, tho, in terms of proving unconventionality.

Re: Final Round 12
yeah, i was joking about the rolling stone thing too yesterday. slightly seriously for a moment, i think it's really lame that the assumption is anyone not voting for SFF is doing it out of some adolescent contrarianism and aren't "guided by individual preference and taste" as you say. I actually find it insulting.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 May 2021, 1:49pmAs a joke! I mean, if these results actually caused a RS editor to have heart palpitations, sure, that'd be cool.
