The 90s Song Ever - Semifinals 2

As usual: listen to both songs before voting (if you somehow haven't yet), and define "better" any way you wish!

Having discovered your blog well after this tournament started I'm devastated to see neither Polyester Girl by Regurgitator, Leaving Home by Jebediah, or Prisoner of Society by The Living End not making an appearance, even in the beginning round. I wouldn't expect them to get very far but I would've hoped some fellow Australians would've put their names forward, I think they would've been popular choices if they were more well known. :(

Those are some great picks!!! Yeah sadly even with 256 entry slots almost all of them were taken up by the more well-known songs of the decade. Although it wasn't really plausible, sometimes I wish I could've doubled or even quadrupled the tournament size just so we could see some underdogs like these go up against the big names.

That being said, if anyone is in the mood to start an Australian (or any other country - I've heard some interest from the Canadians) music poll, you have my wholehearted support...

Imagine Kurt, Chris and Fletch in heaven watching us vote in this poll

If anything, I hope they find this as amusing as we do and are up there dropping bets on whose song wins. RIP 🥲

If Closer were still in the running I would say we were spinning in the microwave with Trent

Putting all of y'all in the microwave

Fascinating that the final four are all songs from the early 90s. Gen X are the real winners here. Good for them 🫶

Indeed! Gen X alt-rock fans must be delighted at this final four lineup.

You, an edgy mall goth: Personal Jesus by Marilyn Manson

Me: an even edgier mall goth: Personal Jesus by Mindless Self Indulgence

I'm glad I'm not the only one who tells my parents about these tournaments. Out of the four remaining me and my dad want Friday I'm in Love to win but we think Smells Like Teen Spirit will win.

Back during the hot musician tournament we had an anon who would write in with whole paragraphs of their parents' opinions of the week's polls. It was glorious.
