American Girl vs. Into the Great Wide Open

American Girl.

I like the speed and choruses on it more.

Great Wide Open

I think American Girl is one of the best although I usually go for the slower ones or the ones with quirky lyrics.

I left out one of my favorite lyrics from the tournament. The music isn't quite there, but the first verse is superb.
"My sister got lucky, married a yuppie
Took him for all he was worth
Now she's a swinger dating a singer
I can't decide which is worse"

American Girl is THE signature song .... also has the pop culture backing of Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Easy - American Girl. Great opening for Fast Times.

Was she kind of a big American Girl?

Pipe down or we can make this double elimination.

As a fellow 80s like yourself I am usually the one saying "get off my lawn"

On BF we did Beatles (twice?) And maybe Stones once. Stranger can do Elvis or Bobby Vinton (who had a smoking hot daughter in Branson in the early 90s) if he wants. I am going to stick to 70s and 80s mostly.

Some don't translate to this competition like Jerry Jeff. Pissin in the Wind is always going to win.

I'd vote for Pissin in the Wind over anything ever done by Tom Petty
