There are a couple reasons I chose the '07 team. One, my musical tastes sucked major ass pre-2000, at least. Secondly, there's nothing greater than the immediacy of the present. Being alive at this moment in musical time is awesome - there are so many kick-ass albums being made every day it's hard to keep up. '90-'97 was ok - it had plenty of great tracks - but it can't compare to what's happening RIGHT NOW. I'll take a quote from SLC Punk:
"Bob: You tell me if this doesn't rock
Stevo: This isn't anything.
Bob: Just give it a chance:
Stevo: What is it?
Bob: What is it?
Stevo: Yeah, what is it, Bob?
Bob: It's new."

Bob: It's new."

Mixtape Contest XXIV - Winning Team Badge
Yeah, that first track is a typo. It meant to be a "Fuck You!" to the '97 team.

The Yay! Badge VII
More points for quoting SLC Punk. It seems like a large task to convince someone born in 1986 what they missed when they were five. No disrespect, but you took quite a stance. Did you mean, "Fook You, '87" on track one?

Some very good stuff here, as there is in all eras of recorded music (if you look hard enough) The immediacy argument has some weight though!
