Announcing the Nikola Tesla / Lemmy Kilmister Memorial-Honorary Science Rock-Off!
Long ago,
niwandajones and I attempted to answer the question: "Does any song rock harder than Motorhead's Ace of Spades?"
We came up with a number of qualities that we felt defined rocking hard (believability, non-stop rocking, involuntary acceleration), but did not, at the time, definitively answer the question.
After much consideration, it has been concluded that we need to hold a ROCK-OFF, to determine not just the answer to this burning question, but to find the HARDEST ROCKING SONG EVER.
Thus, the Nikola Tesla / Lemmy Kilmister Memorial-Honorary Science Rock-Off.1
64 songs will enter the single-elimination tournament. Only one will emerge victorious. Will it be Ace of Spades? Or will the mighty Motorhead fall before the final rounds?
In the comments, please add your suggestions for competitors. Not all suggestions will necessarily receive seeds!
The following songs are already on the list for consideration:
Ace of Spades
Back in Black
Crazy Train
Paranoid
Welcome to the Jungle
HELP SCIENCE, HELP ROCK! THERE ARE FACES STILL ATTACHED TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN ROCKED OFF!
