I like the dissonance in the Polvo one.

Polvo - 1
Youth - 0

Ahem, don't you know there's a war on?

Bungle - 5
FNM - 2

Seems Bungle is the clear winner though.

Yeah I think we can take it that Bungle won that one. So we're on to Josef K. But please in future don't start another war while one is going on; wait till the end is declared before you post new videos, otherwise it's gonna get confusing.

Polvo one is interesting, but there's something simple but very atmospheric about Schizophrenia's riff, so:

Sonic - 1
Polvo - 1

Sonic Youth for me. Riff is tasty. Thurston Moore never disappoints.

Sonic- 2
Polvo- 1

Quiet, you.

Also, I hated the riff in Polvo so it's Sonic Youth for me.

Polvo - 2
SY - 3

But yeah, it is about the riff. As I said, even if you like or hate the song, concentrate on the riff only. It's not "Song wars" (tried that) it's "Riff wars".
Now, someone give Batty a cigarette so he'll calm down...
I am. i've mainly been concentrating on the Riffs.

Don't be so dramatic.

The bungle song had a better riff.

while we are on the subject, so far ive been rating the guitar riffs AND the bass riffs too, ive been focusing on the overall string section.

Should i just be rating the guitar riffs?
