24 Hour Cheese & Crackers

[nothing]

Based roughly on the Today FMs Dermot & Dave's format.

The rules are simple - two songs face off against each other, one very cheesy and one an absolute cracker. 

Votes are via Thanks, and you can only vote for either the cheese or the cracker, and vote runs for 1 day.

The winner chooses the next cheese and nominates an opponent to choose the cracker. 

If you'd like to participate, thank this post! 

I'll kick off with the first cheese and nomination at midday.

[nothing]

Welcome to our first match up for Cheese and Crackers! First up, me with the cheese and @Kol with the cracker, winner will be the most thanked by midday tomorrow. Remember you can only vote for either the cheese or the cracker, much lighthearted music choice banter welcome! 


Our inaugural cheese is... 




@Kol please grace us with the inaugural cracker, I've no doubt I'll be fighting a losing battle!

[Butty Brennan]

What a puntastic thread title nothing.

[Kol]

Cracker: Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way

[nothing]

Ooof, I knew I'd be in trouble, but dammmmmn I'd nearly vote against myself here!

[nothing]

Just over 90 minutes left to vote on our first round - it's currently 6 to 1 for the cracker, Fleetwood Mac absolutely obliterating the cheese, Hanson!

[nothing]

@Kol takes it out, with an epic cracker choice!

@Kol choose your opponent from those who thanked the opening post who will nominate an absolute cracker, and choose the best cheesy tune you enjoy!

[Kol]

I nominate @Butty Brennan as the player who thanked me first yesterday

and now for the cheese

All-4-One - I Swear

[Butty Brennan]

My cracker: Just A Girl by No Doubt

[nothing]

Ooh tough but excellent choices on both counts, but the cracker just edged it for me!

[jp liz v1]

I'm torn I do like both but Gwen and Co., takes it for me

[E.N.]

Congrats @Butty Brennan on a 6-3 victory!

[Butty Brennan]

Woot!  
I think you have to go back to the 80s for the big cheese so here is:
Kenny Loggins - Footloose


I will nominate the next thanker in line to choose a cracker @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick

[nothing]

Oooh that's some cheesy cheese! Excellent

[RSOAPS]

CRACKER:

R.E.M. - Losing My Religion

[nothing]

Wow, excellent cracker choice! Think I'll need a few listens to both to decide

[nothing]

Cracker takes it for me, again! Loved the cheese, but it just missed it by a hair!

[E.N.]

Not trying to be a hipster, but it's genuinely one of my least favourite REM songs. I still love it, though. They were the first gig I ever went to, got to stick with them

[jp liz v1]

Kenny Loggins knew catchy tunes, cheese for me here

[nothing]

Cheese wins 5 to 2! Great choice @Butty Brennan, you're up again, give us another cheese and nomination

[Butty Brennan]

Double woot!  
Here's the Cheese:
The Weather Girls - It's Raining Men

@jp liz v1 to choose a cracker please.

[jp liz v1]

[jp liz v1]

I think this is a cracker by Disturbed

[ShaneU]

Simon and Garfunkel would have got my vote

[jp liz v1]

[Butty Brennan]

Woohoo! Three in a row. Now I know how Necro feels.
Here's another serving of cheese (and may God have mercy on my soul)  

If @ShaneU would like to choose a cracker please go ahead.

[nothing]

Butty, you're on a roll, and you know your cheese!

[ShaneU]

Cracker:

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps

[E.N.]

Maps is an absolute belter

It would have taken my vote anyway, but I really like Dancing in the Street and don't think it's that cheesy at all... 🤔

There's definitely some subjectivity to what makes a song cheesy or a cracker, but I guess it's going to depend on your own taste at times!

[Kol]

I'll have a cracker I suppose

[nothing]

@ShaneU takes it from @Butty Brennan with 5 to 3 votes. Can he hang onto the title with some cheese? Choose your cheese and opponent!

[ShaneU]

I was singing along to this on the radio earlier

Cheese: Lighthouse Family - High



I nominate @Homer J. Fong for the cracker

[Homer J. Fong]

Thank you for the nom Shane, ask and ye shall receive!

Inspired by a recent Heardle, my cracker is:

Outkast - Ms. Jackson
