Match-up #38 - Fiddler's Green Vs. Fully Completely
Listen to the two songs in the match-up Back to Back, and consider the lyrics of the song. Feel free to post an unbiased analysis of both songs in this thread, but please refrain from cheerleading or making predictions for your favourites.

Fiddler's should win this match up...
Early going shows I'm betting on a trailing horse..
Fiddler's all the way to the final!!

I still can't believe how much Gord's voice changed between Road Apples and Fully Completely. He almost sounds like a different person. I admit I like the new Gord better than the old Gord - less twang (not a big fan of twang, unless it comes out of a Telecaster).
This was a tough matchup. Fully Completely is a great song, rocks like granite, but the lyrics to Fiddler's Green are incredible. Notch one up for the twangy Gord.

Yesssss were pullin ahead!

Blimey! FC's ahead! I'm surprised! This was a tough one to call.
Re: Match Up - #38 - The Travellin Man - 04-23-2009
FG is great but I HAVE to give this one to FC as I have seen it live a few times and I love the TNIT version! When I think the hip, I think GD ranting and raving, kick ass musical variations in the middle of the song!
Re: Match Up - #38 - JT_Stone - 04-23-2009
This shouldn't have happened.
my opinion is that FC won by popularity not quality!!

It's a popularity contest. It's more popular because more people think it is better "quality".

Wow! I'm shocked. Both songs are great, and definitely potential hall-of-fame-ers.
