The Elimination: So Nice (Summer Samba) is a relic from a few years in the 1990s when I was REALLY addicted to Bebel Gilberto. I must have listened to this album 8 Million Times, and there are at least three songs from it on the Eliminator 1000. But, I think this is more a personal preference than a song that anyone needs to listen to a lot more, it’s not my favorite, and the song is 23 years old.
Crystalised is a song that has grown on me over the years. I think alt rock has kind of struggled over the past 15 years, at least in popularity, and it needs a revival. But I doubt that will happen with all the other massive music trends going on. More likely, alt rock will fuse with the other trends and be a part of something else. Anyway this is a good song that I definitely think belongs in this project.
Crystalised goes in at #775 (920 more listens). So Nice (Summer Samba) is Eliminated!
The Eliminator 1000 is a music refresh project, based on the idea that a really long playlist of truly outstanding songs can still be continually improved for the future listen.
