Match-up #24 - Daredevil Vs. Flamenco
I ask you to 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.

As always, you can hear both songs played back to back streaming online at http://www.power97.com at 11PM CST, 12AM EST.

This may be blasphemy to some, but Flamenco has never really done it for me.

never been a fan of Daredevil - sometimes I think without the hiccups rant and its favorable placement on DFN folks (excluding the Niagara Region) might have lost trace of this ditty – heaping it along side silver jet and coconut cream in the what could have been pile

its funny how these are two songs that have mixed emotion. Each song is tops for some, and bottoms for others.

no hip song deserves ridicule - not even silver jet or coconut cream. (I actually rather enjoy the latter).
As for Flamenco, I fell in love with it when hearing it live, especially in the 2000 Music@Work tour when Kate Fenner would take a verse!

If everyone who voted listened to this, I think Flamenco would be kicking Daredevil's ass.

I LOVE Silver Jet!!! Why is everyone dissing it? It's an upbeat, energetic song that is one of my faves on IVL...

...and Flamenco even has a CHANCE against Daredevil? Wow. I'm sorry everyone, but I just don't get it. :what

OK. I just HAD to give Flemenco another chance. So I listened to the studio mix, and then downloaded the live version from the link above and listened to that. The live version is definitely the better of the two. However, we'll have to agree to disagree - Daredevil absolutely blows away Flemenco in my messed up head. And No, I didn't listen to Grace and Greasy Jungle too! DFN is such a great album...

I think I just tied it up...

Neither one is my favorite on their respective albums, but I picked Flamenco. Maybe I'm just in a mellow mood today.
