I think it's just years of being told how great Stairway and Bohemian Rhapsody are, but I really dislike both.
And let's be honest, if Rolf Harris and a wobble board can improve your song then it really wasn't that great in the first place.

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

Same again. They are, after all, my two remaining nominations! They are truly memorable songs.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a classic too, even if I omitted to include it in my list of nominations, and I would not be too disappointed if that beat Nirvana. In my opinion, Metallica's Nothing Else Matters has done extraordinarily well to get to the QFs, never mind the SFs, and I think it is about to leave the stage. I could think of plenty of songs already knocked out that would have been a more worthy QF and SF entrant than that song. Don't get me wrong: it's quite a good song, but even Enter Sandman would have been a better song to have reached the semi-final.

I do agree that it's not Metallica's best, but equally it's not up against Led Zeppelin's best. By some distance. Can't believe the way Kashmir got treated, it's the filthiest rock riff of all time

 Eh - maybe not.   If it does get through, it's due to the lack of people voting. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!  

[Trigger]

Or its due to music being subjective to individuals..

Others may class it higher than you, for various reasons..

Just my thoughts anyways

[Kol]

Current scores with just over an hour to go. Nothing in these semi final matches.

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters 6 Vs 5 Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody 5 Vs 6 Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

[Kol]

I hope we get time to run the final this evening, as is tradition with my tournaments, the final vote will be conducted via PMs

If you don't think you will be around this evening, you can PM me your vote now, the songs in order of who you wish to win, I can accept it that way.

What nonsense is this? Anyone who disagrees with me is categorically wrong, you just remember that when you're marking your walrus

Starting with a negative is not going to work out for you! (Not on your music choices, haven't listened yet)

[Necro]

Shot you my final vote there Kol. As long as Stairway to Heaven doesn't win the whole thing outright I'll be happy. Over-rated to high heaven that track.

Aw poor Led Zeppelin, taking a tumble down that never ending Stairway. That song invented musical wankery!! For that it shall never be forgiven. NEVER!

Not really!!

 That was already happening before that song! I can't believe that Nothing Else Matters knocked out a couple of Led Zep songs and the wonderful London Calling by The Clash during the tournament! 

[Kol]

FoGs greatest rock song is, Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit.

Not a big surprise, was always a contender. Metallica were a surprise package it must be said.

Thanks everyone for playing, see you again soon for another FoGs greatest.
