In the interests of discussion, rather than wanting to start a bitchslap session ....
b)If one chooses to enjoy SF as an audience rather than a competitor, that's absolutely fabulous, and most people who stay here go that way if they weren't there already, in my experience; but it's important we don't forget that the thing that brought all us musicians here was the chance to get heard and the belief we were good enough to win.
'Better' is such an arbitrary and subjective term. For example, Jute Gyte makes brilliant music, so does King Arthur. So does Eddie Bangs. There is very little within their styles, from production to approach to lyrics and beyond, that you could say change this, make this 'better' - all are well-respected yet none of them have won a songfight (to my knowledge).
The logical extension of this advice this would be to change your creative process to incorporate the perceived most popular style, to thus garner the most votes. But of course that would kill your creativity, unless you are a musical dillitante.
Agreed. Totally.john m wrote:The idea of barring someone because they are good so you have a chance to win is lame.
a) Tell that to the friend flooders, blog flooders et al.SongFight is far more about hearing good indie music than winning.

This is essentially the worst advice you can give anyone, imo. Sounds reasonable but in reality is not only totally unworkable but could easily paralyse creativity.Make better music if you want a better chance to win.

Agreed, but there are ways to improve your songwriting to where people respect what you've done more than usual (sometimes to the point of voting for you). I'm certainly the furthest one can be from a country fan, but I think Brick Pig is a great musician, and I always enjoy hearing his entries. 'Better' -is- completely subjective, but if you're trying to make your music enjoyable anyway, why not try to assess what people like and don't like about your music? If the things people keep mentioning need improved don't contradict your musical beliefs or intended aim, I don't see a reason not to try to incorporate new methods in your musical process. (In short, taking advice does not necessarily compromise musical integrity.)j$ wrote:This is essentially the worst advice you can give anyone, imo.

If people are interested in doing some clash covers, I stumbled across a pretty good tabulature page
http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Pa ... raphy.html
I tried a few of them and they're pretty accurate, compared to most on-line tab approximations. I guess the music's pretty simple

When this thread appeared I thought it was cool. Little did I know how consumed I would be by my task. Insanity, insanity. And the worst part is there are a few more bands I'd like to include on my list. But some part of me desires to get this list out already. So here's my huge Wishlist.

1- never speak of Rod Stewart's "Hang On St. Christopher" in my presence. That was blashphemy!!! Even the Bulletboys' version is more respectable.j$ wrote:I don't actually know this one.

2- Despite the fact that it's Rod Stewart, the song is very lyrically strong. So, I'd be curious to how it would sound with your musical inclinations. Plus, I would really like to hear you do a ballad that's full of emotion.
