A Song For March (a song tourney with a difference)

[Chypmunk]

Thought I might as well put this out there and see if there was any interest.....


Join in and drop out as you please
No set number of nominations
Nominate on the fly
Max song duration: 10 minutes
No individual matches - no random or (as in some cases) no host fixing the matches
Only one nomination per person per 'round'
Only those with songs nominated in any 'round' are eligible to vote; except the 'Final' where all those that have previously nominated a song in the month may vote should they wish


Every couple of days will be a new 'round' where any and all newly nominated songs are up against each other. As soon as voting starts for one 'round' nominations will be accepted for the next 'round'.

Players vote by ranking all the songs in that 'round' from 1 (their favourite) to n (their least favourite). Songs will be awarded points based on their positional ranking in each vote (number of points will depend on the number of songs contesting the 'round' - if 10 songs #1 song would get 10 points, #10 song would get 1 point).

The winning song from each 'round' (or songs in the case of a tie) goes through to the 'Final' at the end of the month.

Simples but if any relevant questions just ask.

Now taking nominations for Round 1 (only 1 song per player), nominations will close 9am GMT on 2nd March.

The Dead South - In Hell I'll Be In Good Company
- Maybe I was put off by the video, but even the music itself seemed to be something that wasn't nearly as cute as the people putting it out thought it was.

New Light Choir - Queen of Winter
- I enjoyed this. I like the music more than the vocals and lyrics, but the overall package is bearable.

Clutch - Electric Worry
- Not feeling this. I guess musically it isn't the worst thing I've ever heard, but it's kinda obnoxious. Sorry to whoever nominated it.

Siegfried - Forging Song from Act 1
- Hella dank, bruh.

Catatonia - Road Rage
- Not terrible, but also seems like the kind of thing you have to be into at the time.

Battle Beast - Black Ninja
- I am not sure exactly what's going on here, but I think I like it. Cool throwback metal song.

Hanging Gardens - Unearth
- This song had to follow Black Ninja, which isn't good a place for this song. This kills the energy created by Black Ninja, and now I'm just thinking about how I'd rather be listening to Black Ninja agaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnn. She's a blaaackkk ninjaaaaa. I don't think I thought about this song at all as I listened to it.

Journey - Wheel in the Sky
- I'm not a Journey fan, but this song is alright. Better than the average song, but not really deserving of its status in our culture. But, I mean, I guess that chorus is undeniably catchy, so that's always going to a soul-winner for the cult of Journey.


Dillon Carmichael - Hell on an Angel
- My nom. I love this classic outlaw country hard-driving music. It hits all the outlaw country tropes you need for a badass song. You hit the bottle and drugs, you do some wild sh*t, and you make it hard on your mama and every other woman out there. You might go to prison. You include some references to Hell or the devil and how thats where you are headed or something like that. But you better have the music and the voice to convince me that you are really the bad sumbitch that said all those things. Dillon Carmichael gets it.

number girl - omoide in my head
- I like listening to the Japanese language. That dude can play drums. Then sh*t gets wild. Whoa, I'm digging the f*ck out of this. I'm reminded a lil bit of Teenage Riot.

Shal Marshall - Splinters
- Nah.

Sam Cooke - Nothing Can Change This Love
- yassss. Sam Cooke was a bad, bad dude.

[jiraffejustin]

Round 2 nom

Bat for Lashes - Winter Fields (m.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ9gv5VMksM)

scaredy rabbits make good paper ghosts

[John-Connor]

Round 2 nom:
*edited.. to a more suitable nom for this 'crowd'..
Foo Fighters - Everlong (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eBG7P-K-r1Y)

[Sedai]

Listing as I have time. That The Dead South video was pretty fun.

[pahaK]

1. New Light Choir - Queen of Winter
Late addition to my top-10 of 2018. What a marvelous mix of old occult rock and metal.

2. Journey - Wheel In The Sky
Very nice old school rock with great vocalist. Maybe I should put some Journey on my playlist.

3. Catatonia - Road Rage
Good alt rock from the 90s. I like the vocalist again (am I the only one who thinks she looks a bit like Franka Potente?).

4. number girl - omoide in my head
What's this, progressive pop punk or something? I kinda liked it more than I expected though.

5. Hanging Gardens - Unearth
What's with all the Finnish metal on this round? It's OK doom, nothing too unique but decent.

6. Battle Beast - Black Ninja
Kabanen always finds great vocalists but I vastly prefer Battle Beasts 3rd album over everything else they've done. This song is just too corny.

7. Sam Cooke - Nothing Can Change This Love
Not really my music but not too bad either. Great voice but it's maybe little too much about just that.

8. Siegfried - Forging Song from Act 1
HoHo! I don't how this would work as a part of the whole opera but as an individual song it kinda lacks (funnily it works better without the video now that I listen it again).

9. Dillon Carmichael - Hell on an Angel
Very standard country rock. Goes little overboard with guitar solos.

10. The Dead South - In Hell I'll Be In Good Company
Kinda boring but still not too bad. I hate that finger snapping though.

11. Clutch - Electric Worry
Yeah, not my kind of southern rock. Hate the chorus and the intro with just guitar and vocals.

12. Shal Marshall - Splinters
Not much into reggae and this isn't an exception. Maybe I should do some drugs to get this?

[pahaK]

Round 2 nomination:

The Gathering - Strange Machines (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1HUMwinV2AQ)

Very standard country rock..


If this was actually true, I'd be so happy

[pahaK]

If this was actually true, I'd be so happy

It's just an (un)educated guess. I even originally had (I guess) after that but as I know my fondness towards stuff in parenthesis I try to consciously remove some of them :D

[MijaFrost]

1. Sam Cooke - Nothing Can Change This Love

Simply perfect. (You have to be into oldies to appreciate it though, certainly doesn't sound like new releases you'd find today.)

2. New Light Choir - Queen of Winter

Wow, thanks pahaK for the introduction to this band! In this tune they sound like a fusion of The Cure and Muse with light metal.

3. Shal Marshall - Splinters

My nom. The first couple of times I heard this I was kind of like, "eh," but after a few listens it grew on me. Now it's one of my most-played tunes from the Caribbean.

4. Battle Beast - Black Ninja

Head-banger! (I have long hair so I can pull it off, lol)

5. Clutch - Electric Worry

This is good. Reminds me of the Black Keys.

6. Catatonia - Road Rage

Intriguing. I'll check out more of their stuff.

7. The Dead South - In Hell I'll Be In Good Company

This was different, in an interesting way.

The rest weren't to my taste...

8. Siegfried - Forging Song from Act 1

9. Dillon Carmichael - Hell on an Angel

10. Journey - Wheel In The Sky

11. number girl - omoide in my head

12. Hanging Gardens - Unearth

[Captain Spaulding]

1. Battle Beast - Black Ninja
(Super cheesy, but I love that aspect of it. Maybe because I've watched too many cheesy 80's ninja movies? The singer sounds so much like Dio when she belts the chorus. Was hoping to avoid ranking my own nom first, but it'd be disingenuous if I didn't since I like it the most of this bunch.)

2. Dillon Carmichael - Hell on an Angel
(I can always count on JJ to introduce me to some awesome new country artist.)

3. The Dead South - In Hell I'll Be in Good Company
(YouTube is often recommending The Dead South to me since I listen to a lot of similar sounding music. Listened to some of their stuff before but nothing has really grabbed me. This song is good, but even though I'm into the folksy/bluegrass sound, there's something about the song that I still find unappealing. The finger-snapping, maybe? The whistling? Their faces? I don't know. I like the song fine but feel like I should love it considering my taste.)

4. Journey - Wheel in the Sky
(I used to scoff at Journey due to their inherent corniness, but Steve Perry's voice eventually turned me into a fan. Don't think there was a note he couldn't hit.)

5. Sam Cooke - Nothing Chan Change This Love
(Was just listening to Sam Cooke's Greatest Hits the other day. Whether you're a fan of soul or not, I don't know how anyone with ears could listen to his music and not feel something stir inside them. With that said, this is far from being one of my favorite Cooke songs, but it's still very, very good.)

6. Number Girl - Omoide in My Head
(That was fun. Great energy. Some surprisingly good musicianship as well.)

7. Clutch - Electric Worry
(I really like Clutch's "The Regulator" and a few of their other songs. Not as impressed with this one. Still like the singer's deep voice and how their music always sounds like it's been smeared in grease. Seems like good music to play in the garage while tampering beneath the hood of some hot rod.)

8. Shal Marshall - Splinter
(At first I mistook this as a commercial for Corona or a cruise vacation. Not at all the type of thing I'd normally listen to, but I can see it being a fun party song in the proper setting.)

9. New Light Choir - Queen of Winter
(Solid, but the unremarkable vocals stain the song for me a bit.)

10. Catatonia - Road Rage
(Grating.)

11. Hanging Gardens - Unearth
(Not a fan at all. No energy. Just seemed to drone on and on.)

12. Siegfried - Forging Song from Act 1
(Good for a laugh, at least. My manly perception of blacksmithing has just been shattered.)

[Captain Spaulding]

Round 2 nomination:

Meg Myers - Desire (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bR5u9jb0PJE)

[edarsenal]

The Dead South - In Hell I'll Be In Good Company I was actually introduced to this band on a previous Song Tournament and enjoy a number of their songs as well as a few "live" performances on youtube. It's catchy, it's fun and I love it.

Clutch - Electric Worry I had stumbled upon this tune some time ago and while I'm not a fan of Clutch, I really do enjoy this tune.

Sam Cooke - Nothing Can Change This Love ahh, Sammy, baby! How I DO love me some Cooke and this is a lesser known one, but still captures all that is beautiful in a Sam Cooke tune.

Journey - Wheel In The Sky There are very few Journey songs I like and the ones I do are their early material such as this. A lot of heart in this.

New Light Choir - Queen of Winter Being an Old School Metalhead, I really liked the musical aspect of this. Especially the opening that reminded of a lot of metal bands during the Eighties that followed the mystical/fantastical motifs. Then the singing started. It didn't gel with the music for me. He sounded like the singer from Billy Talent, a band I do enjoy, so it is not the voice itself, it just felt "off" for the music's landscape that had been established. Which WAS d@mn good.

Dillon Carmichael - Hell on an Angel Since I am not a Country Song kind of guy I cannot say this atypical, but it does seem to hit all the right notes and feels of a solid country tune. Really like the groove of this.

Battle Beast - Black Ninja a definite throwback to the old school metal bands I grew up WITH a singer that is a cohabitation with the music and the whole spike-wristed persona. But a little TOO much like copying past bands without giving substance aka their own take on it. Solid, all the same.

Siegfried - Forging Song from Act 1 Never did get to watch a full sitting of the opera Siegfried and got a kick out of this little segment.

number girl - omoide in my head a lively little number. Some very real potential going on here. Quite curious to see where this band goes in the future after a couple of albums of where they go musically.

Hanging Gardens - Unearth They seemed to be caught up on never leaving the slow drudging path, musically. Even the moments elevations are sort of anti-crescendo. I am a big fan of music with gravitas to it, but it seems to have pretense without the depth. Like an author writing about something bleak without ever really experiencing such.

Shal Marshall - Splinters a very fun dance party tune. Definitely. But if you're not at a Caribbean party, it only makes you wish you were instead of listening to one.

Catatonia - Road Rage sadly, did not really hold my attention nor did I enjoy the "pop" groove of this. Sorry.



And, for Round 2
EDIT -- change of songs --

The Doors - Waiting For The Sun (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W1WnrjciO8c&start_radio=1&list=RDW1WnrjciO8c&t=0)

[Derek Vinyard]

Round 2
System Of A Down - Aerials (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L-iepu3EtyE)

[edarsenal]

1. Battle Beast - Black Ninja
(Super cheesy, but I love that aspect of it. Maybe because I've watched too many cheesy 80's ninja movies? The singer sounds so much like Dio when she belts the chorus. Was hoping to avoid ranking my own nom first, but it'd be disingenuous if I didn't since I like it the most of this bunch.)
I was thinking Rob Halford when she was hitting those high notes. Which ain't easy.

[MijaFrost]

Round 2:

The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu (https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=v4xZUr0BEfE)

(I don't know what's up with the intro, but the song doesn't start til just over a minute in.)

[ahwell]

1. Siegfried - Forging Song from Act 1
My own nomination, I regret the performance I posted... the costumes are a bit laughable and I should have done something non-programmatic perhaps. But I still love this piece, it is really energetic and is Siegfried's symbolic reforging of his parent's former glory, no matter how incestuous or adulterous it may have been.

2. Journey - Wheel In The Sky

3. Sam Cooke - Nothing Can Change This Love

4. Clutch - Electric Worry

5. Hanging Gardens - Unearth

6. New Light Choir - Queen of Winter

Too bad, Iron Maiden was a great nom, use to be fascinated by their albums cover art when I was a kid..

I just may bring it back for another round. Loved the artwork as well. Remember doing a pencil version of Eddie from that album (Killers) and giving it a friend who hung it upon their wall.

[edarsenal]

CONGRATS john-Conner!! Solid first round win Cooke, bravo!

And THANKS Chypmunk for setting this up; great idea!

[honeykid]

The Doors - Waiting For The Sun - I haven't done one of these song tournament type things for a while, so I'll go with how I feel. I usually feel that I should vote against stuff like this because it's practically cheating, IMO. I'm not calling the person who nominated this a cheat, it's just how I feel. The Doors, The Beatles, The Stones, Elvis, etc. It's too easy.

Jade Bird - Uh Huh - She's one of my new discoveries (not actually discovered by me, it's just how I describe finding someone/something new to me. For example, I discovered Lady Gaga last year :D) and I think she's great. I was going to go with Breathe by The Prodigy. Kind of wish I had now given todays news. RIP Keith.

The Gathering - Strange Machines - Not often a new live performance does so well with me, but I really liked this.

Meg Myers - Desire - I think someone has nominated a song of hers before. Possibly with one? I liked that and I like this. I should try some more of her stuff.

Jinjer - Pisces - Her singing is quite nice. She has a nice voice. Then the growling starts and I tune out even though the music gets better. :D

Bach - Mass in B Minor, Kyrie - I like a lot of classical music. I like this, but it's something I have to want to listen to. Otherwise I might as well be on hold. A bit unfair on it here, as I'd prefer to listen to it than a lot of stuff here, but at this moment it's difficult to place.

Foo Fighters - Everlong - I'm not much of a fan. Liked their first album but not really connected with much after that. This is probably where it is on familiarity as much as anything.

System Of A Down - Aerials - It's ok. Makes me feel a bit like the following song on the list.

Bad Sons - Cardiac Arrest - Meh. It passes the time without annoying me. That's in its favour.

Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Rewrite - It's alright. It sounds like all the stuff that sounds like this sounds to me. :D

The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu - Not really my thing. I like songs to start when I start listening and not go on for 6 minutes. I didn't dislike it though.

Bat for Lashes - Winter Fields - Still to hear anything from this band which lights me up. I don't do folk music, so this put me offside from the intro. :D

It's not really fair putting a Back piece in the tourney! ;)

I like a lot of the other songs, but come on, some random pop track just doesn't compare to JS friggin Bach!

I will post my rankings soon...

[Sedai]

1. Bach - Mass In B Minor, Kyrie - One could make an argument that this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created by humans. Not really a fair contender, eh? :)

Well, I mean, there weren’t any limits (except time), and I love the piece to death, so I just had to nominate it. For me it’s a real trip to Heaven and back.

[pahaK]

1. Meg Myers - Desire
I think I nominated this on one song tourney. The song, the voice and the video are one of the sexiest ever. I'll but it ahead of my own nom to reward Captain Spaulding for reading my thread.

2. The Gathering - Strange Machines
Really catchy and mellow stuff. My favorite album by The Gathering. Anneke looks so happy and lively (and stoned) that even a grumpy ass like me starts to smile.

3. Jinjer - Pisces
I'm not really a fan of Jinjer but this particular song is good. I really like the vocals too, both clean and harsh.

4. Bat for Lashes - Winter Fields
I listened to some Bat for Lashes years ago but remembered it being more rock than this. A tad too long intro but otherwise pretty nice.

5. The Doors - Waiting For The Sun
Haven't listened to The Doors that much. My impression is that they're often really repetitive and this isn't an exception. Still clearly better than I expected.

6. Foo Fighters - Everlong
Laid back and easy to listen. Wouldn't probably put it on myself but wouldn't mind if someone else does. Goes on for too long though.

7. The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu
Somehow this reminds me of Rammstein. It's a tad too long and repetitive but I think there's more positive than negative things still.

8. Jade Bird - Uh Huh
At first I thought I was listening to Smells Like Teen Spirit cover but it's just the intro. Not bad but not too memorable either.

9. Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Rewrite
Feels quite generic pop-punk but in Japanese. Passable background music but nothing more.

10. System Of A Down - Aerials
Serj is great singer but I've never liked SoaD's music.

11. Bach - Mass in B Minor, Kyrie
I'm not sophisticated enough to get this. It kinda works as a background music but I can't get a hold of it if I really try to listen.

12. Bad Sons - Cardiac Arrest
So repetitive and dull for such a short song. Totally forgettable.

[pahaK]

Round 3 nomination:

Nom for round 3
Wagakki Band - Tengaku (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2meWkWqc-I)

[MijaFrost]

1. Jade Bird - Uh Huh

Awesome, very spirited performer. I listened to a tonne of her tunes on YouTube after this. She kind of reminds me of the underdogs I would root for on American Idol back when I watched from like 2008 - 2012...

2. The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu

I think these guys are bad-ass. They've only released two songs so far but a full album will be out soon.

3. The Doors - Waiting for the Sun

<3 the Doors.

4. Bach - Mass in B Minor, Kyrie

This reminded me of a radio station I used to listen to on Sunday mornings that would play choral church pieces like this and others. It was nice to hear it again.

5. Bat for Lashes - Winter Fields

Love Bat for Lashes.

6. The Gathering - Strange Machines

Wasn't what I was expecting when it started playing, but I liked her voice.

7. Bad Sons - Cardiac Arrest

This is fun.

8. Jinjer - Pisces

Pretty singer, not so much into the growling though.

9. Meg Myers - Desire

Whoa, scary psycho girl. I hope I don't date anyone with an ex like this, haha...

The following were not my style...

10. Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Rewrite
11. System of a Down - Aerials
12. Foo Fighters - Everlong

Round 3 Nom:

SKÁLD - Run (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s9NIBZfVBW4&feature=youtu.be)

[edarsenal]

The Doors - Waiting For The Sun my favorite from the bassless band of poets.

The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu Loving those instruments! Very glad to have the heads up to go in a minute and get into the song.

Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Rewrite Quite the rockin number. Really enjoyed this

Meg Myers - Desire A dark and sexy song with a great guitar lead. Gonna hafta look into more of this.

Jade Bird - Uh Huh Uh Huh is right!

Jinjer - Pisces Wow. Did NOT see the heavy growling coming, but it didn't hamper the song at all

Bach - Mass in B Minor, Kyrie Quite the beautiful bit of Bach, I must say

The Gathering - Strange Machines Quite the pleasant surprise - did NOT expect such a strong voice from that little girl. VERY nice.

Bat for Lashes - Winter Fields Quite haunting and ethereal. Especially the opening.

Foo Fighters - Everlong While I never got into the Foo Fighters this is a good song of theirs. Love the drums in this.

System Of A Down - Aerials Not a fan of the band but it is one I can handle

Bad Sons - Cardiac Arrest kinda so-so for me. No highs, no lows, just sort of meanders




Round 3
Concrete Blonde - Everybody Knows (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l5Fb4K8pNmg)

[Captain Spaulding]

1. The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu
(A shame that that is so low on most of the rankings. I loved the hell out of this and have listened to it a few times now. I don't even know how to describe what I've just heard. It sounds like a genre unto itself. Awesome song. Even the design of the instruments is killer. Never expected to have a Mongolian song stuck in my head. Yuve Yuve Yu!)

2. Meg Myers - Desire
https://i.imgur.com/EH5tpKr.jpg

3. Jade Bird - Uh Huh
(Surprisingly good. Love the attitude and spunkiness. Would not have assumed it was a modern song if I just heard it on the radio, and I mean that in a good way. Will certainly be listening to more of her stuff.)

4. Jinjer - Pisces
(Insanely impressive vocal performance. Love the juxtaposition between the two styles, which should feel jarring yet somehow meshes perfectly. Hopefully the exorcists steer clear because the demon residing in her throat makes a great duet partner.)

5. The Gathering - Strange Madness
(Don't think I'm familiar with The Gathering, but I found this live performance very impressive. Heavy enough to headbang, but melodic and catchy at the same time. Curious to hear a studio version and other songs from the group.)

6. The Doors - Waiting for the Sun
(The Doors is a top five band for me, but I tend to favor less familiar artists/songs in these tournaments.)

7. Bat for Lashes - Winter Fields
(I really like some of Bat for Lashes stuff, but haven't listened to her in a long time. This song doesn't make a strong first impression, but I could easily see it growing on me. Very relaxing song. Love her voice.)

8. System of a Down - Aerials
(Never liked System of a Down, mainly because I find the singer's voice so annoying. If somebody could go through their catalogue and edit out his voice from every song, I might be a fan since the instrumentation is never an issue.)

9. Foo Fighters - Everlong
(It's really an indictment against the state of modern rock that the Foo Fighters are somehow considered one of the great rock bands of the 21st century. Not being a hater, because I like some of their stuff, but they've received a lot of accolades for simply being above average. Grew tired of this particular song long ago.)

10. Bad Sons - Cardiac Arrest
(Pleasant, radio-friendly song, but instantly forgettable.)

11. Bach - Mass in B Minor, Kyrie
(I'd rather listen to the Sebastian Bach from Skid Row. Stop trying to class up this tournament, ahwell! Haven't you learned yet that we're an unsophisticated bunch?)

12. Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Rewrite
(Have always hated this nerdy pop-punk sound. Somebody shove these losers into a locker.)

[Captain Spaulding]

Round 3 Nomination:

Church of the Cosmic Skull - Cold Sweat (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7Yiq4ocwQJs)

[ahwell]

Captain Spaulding

Well I don’t really have anything else to nominate... And there’s nothing more “sophisticated” about classical music than rock/pop/etc, and nothing elitist about about it... I hope I’ll live to see that stereotype, but I’ll keep trying in the mean time, sorry.

Just to be clear, go ahead and nominate whatever you like.

We like to bust people's chops a bit here on MoFo, and it's all in good fun. :)

Round 4 Nom-

Concrete Blonde - The Beast (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z77tKGDRByY)

[pahaK]

Now that I read the "reviews" i had written on my text pad it seems that the boring was the theme of this round :D

1. The Warning - Ugh
I really like these young ladies. Really catch song and I like their live performances a lot (little rougher and heavier than on albums).

2. Wagakki Band - Tengaku
I liked this a lot. Very refreshing mix of old and new. It looks cool to have all those traditional instruments in a rock band too.

3. Metallica - One
Not the best Metallica song by any means but still good. Don't like the video though.

4. Brahms - Symphony No.4, Movement 3
Best of these classic pieces this far. Would probably work better on a movie soundtrack though.

5. The Prodigy - Breathe
Repetitive and monotonous but still not bad. Back when MTV (and VIVA) still played music The Prodigy was one of the few non-metal acts I usually bothered to watch.

6. SKÁLD - Run
It just feels too safe and traditional take on this sort of music. Not bad bad slightly dull.

7. Halsey - Without Me (Live piano version)
Great vocals but boring song.

8. Concrete Blonde - Everybody Knows
Not much is happening in here and I'm bored.

9. Demented Are Go - Bodies In The Basement
Back when I was in junior high couple of my friends listened to psychobilly so I was familiar with the band. Didn't like it much then and that hasn't really changed.

10- Church of the Cosmic Skull - Cold Sweat
This is so boring that I'm getting cold sweats just for listening.

[pahaK]

Round 4 nomination:

Therion - Schwartzalbenheim (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1TJcXsqgeMI)

[Derek Vinyard]

Round 4 nom:
JINJER - I Speak Astronomy (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KJoPIgg17U4)

my turn to nominate some Jinjer :D

[MijaFrost]

1. SKÁLD - Run

Well... I like my nom best out of this bunch. :p I think the Vikings style is cool with this group. Just discovered them recently, already listened to their album a few times.

2. The Prodigy - Breathe

Old skool hip-hop (?) is usually fun.

3. Brahms - Symphony No.4, Movement 3

This was a nice composition to listen to on my way to work this morning.

4. Wagakki Band - Tengaku

Reso nominated something from Wagakki Band before I got a chance to! They're great.

5. The Warning - Ugh

Not bad, though it'd be much better to actually listen to them live in concert as opposed to watching the video. The "energy" here just doesn't carry over through a recorded performance.

6. Church of the Cosmic Skull - Cold Sweat

I have no idea what this song is about, but the band name is awesome and I like the cult vibe going on. I thought this was going to be metal so I was very surprised that it's kind of folksy indie rock.


I wasn't feeling the rest...

7. Halsey - Without Me (Live)

Only those with songs nominated in any 'round' are eligible to vote; except the 'Final' where all those that have previously nominated a song in the month may vote should they wish



Welcome back for Round 4 though :up:

Round 4 nom:

The Swell Season - Feeling the Pull (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9aTL8nWNn3w&feature=youtu.be)

[Sedai]

2. The Prodigy - Breathe

Old skool hip-hop (?) is usually fun.

2. The Prodigy - Breathe

Old skool hip-hop (?) is usually fun.




:rotfl:

Well, I don't know what you call that type of music, whatever it is...

[Captain Spaulding]

1. Church of the Cosmic Skull - Cold Sweat
(Extremely repetitive, yet insanely catchy. Amazing harmonies. Love when the song slows down into a jam session, then comes roaring back to life. Just a fun, vibrant song. The cheesy hippie-cult-on-acid vibe and video are also plusses.)

2. Demented Are Go - Bodies in the Basement
(Great fun. Love the rebellious energy. Has more of a metal sound than what I'm used to hearing from the band. Been a fan of this lead singer, Sparky, for awhile since he has one of those gargles-with-battery-acid voices, although he reminds me a lot of Lemmy in this particular song.)

3. SKALD - Run
(Supposedly my dad's side of the family descends from Vikings, so maybe this tribal, haunting music is reigniting something dormant in my soul. Somebody hand me my horned helmet! VALHALLA!)

4. Metallica - One
(Hate all the movie sampling, but otherwise kick-ass song.)

5. The Warning - Ugh
(Some nice riffs, but overall a bit generic. Luckily I have a soft spot for lady rockers.)

6. Halsey - Without Me
(Nice, emotional vocal. She's quite the looker as well. Song itself is pretty bland, though.)

7. The Prodigy - Breathe
(Video > song.)

8. Wagakki Band - Tengaku
(Was enjoying this at first, but by the end it was getting on my nerves. Asian chicks are hot, but there's something about the Japanese singing style that I find consistently off-putting. Was digging the bamboo flute, though!)

9. Concrete Blonde - Everybody Knows
(A pale, sleepy imitation lacking everything great and iconic about Cohen's original.)

10. Brahms - Symphony No. 4, Movement 3
(*mumbles obscenities*)

[edarsenal]

Metallica - One Always loved this song and ESPECIALLY this video where they added snippets of the film that inspired the song; Johnny Got His Gun (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067277/) which is a haunting film all its own.

Concrete Blonde - Everybody Knows The song that turned me on to Concrete Blonde and, thereby, my favorite of theirs.

Brahms - Symphony No.4, Movement 3 A little Brahms goes a long, long way. I always found Brahms epic in its execution and this a valid demonstration of that.

Wagakki Band - Tengaku pretty wild take on traditional music and instruments and giving it a rockin edge to it. Pretty cool. Definitely a band to WATCH for the visual aspect of the performance.

Demented Are Go - Bodies In The Basement Got a Motörhead feel to it and I'm feelin it.

Halsey - Without Me (Live piano version) Nice bit of soul in that lady and f@ckin LOVE that dress!

SKALD - Run Really enjoyed the Viking song. Could easily picture this on a Nordic soundtrack.

The Prodigy - Breathe Was first introduced to this band when the film The Crow came out and I do remember this song though not one that stays with me

Church of the Cosmic Skull - Cold Sweat Is is me or were these people VERY unhappy about standing in front of a camera? Cool song though.

The Warning - Ugh Reminded me of a lot of local bar bands I saw back in the day

EDIT: somehow SKALD got lost in the voting, THANKS Captain Spaulding for the heads up!!

[edarsenal]

2nd - The Prodigy - Breathe (57 pts)
3rd - Brahms - Symphony No.4, Movement 3 (52 pts)
4th - Wagakki Band - Tengaku (51 pts)

Just a little promotion... I highly encourage people watch the video of this one, I know the other classical pieces haven't had the most interesting videos, but this is just mindblowing (at least for me).

I go with songs I love for the rest of the ''tournament''.

[jiraffejustin]

Tapiman - No Chance (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Px78pbJe5jQ)

[pahaK]

1. Therion - Schwartzalbenheim
Therion in their best line-up. Such a great group of singers and the band is really tight too. Very good mix of metal and some classic / opera influences.

2. Concrete Blonde - The Beast
Whoever wrote those drums should be banned from writing music (or if the drummer can't play anything more varied just get a new drummer). Other than that it's really good song.

3. Seether - Driven Under
Pretty good depressing Gothic grunge or something. Maybe I should nominate something depressing too?

4. Yoko Takahashi - The Cruel's Angel Thesis
Not the best anime theme (at least I think it is such) but just like The Bangles below it's really easy to listen.

5. The Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter
Not the best song by The Bangles but still easy on the ears. Would probably become stale in a while but every once in a while it's just fine.

6. JINJER - I Speak Astronomy
Not even nearly as good as the previous Jinjer. There's no room for the singer to shine and the band sounds just like your average metalcore group (it gets better towards the end when they slow down though).

7. The Swell Season - Feeling the Pull
Really simple and really short. Like The Bangles above this isn't bad but probably has too little going on to last a heavy rotation.

8. Comus - Song to Comus
There are some interesting sequences but they must have used way too much drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs...

9. Gaelic Storm - Scalliwag
Not my kind of folk music. Hate that percussion sound and verses sound kinda too hectic.

10. Night Club - Schizophrenic
Besides a pretty (I guess, the make-up is terrible) chick in straightjacket there's not much to celebrate.

11. Schnittke - Concerto Grosso #1, Rondo
Umm, this sounds mostly like a random noise to me (perhaps now I know how some of my more extreme metals sound those who aren't used to such music).

[pahaK]

Round 5 nomination:

My Dying Bride - Catherine Blake (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PSeubv7ulF8)

8. Therion - Schwartzalbenheim

10. JINJER - I Speak Astronomy

Round 5 nom:

L7 - Monster (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LEDENyZTajM&feature=youtu.be)

[Nostromo87]

1. Concrete Blonde - The Beast

Electric guitar, touch of attitude, I dig it

2. Comus - Song To Comus

Pretty cool pagan folklore style, somewhat low-key

3. The Bangles - Hazy Shade Of Winter

At ease carefree listening

4. Gaelic Storm - Scalliwag

Celtic style, pretty smooth playback

5. Seether - Driven Under

South African rock band

6. Night Club - Schizophrenic

Electronic band, enjoyed the music itself better than that particular video

7. Schnittke - Concerto Grosso #1 Rondo

Rather quality classical with a measure of attitude. Don''t know much about Schnittke

8. Jinjer - I Speak Astronomy

Hard metal guitar, contrast female vocals from what I was expecting. Angry

9. The Swell Season - Feeling The Pull

Mellow

10. Therion - Schwartzalbenheim

Harder metal, Goth-ish, yet a rather soothing sound in spite of that

11. Yoko Takahashi - The Cruel's Angel Thesis

Guessing this has something to do with video gaming

[Chypmunk]

Nostromo87, sorry but only taking votes from those that have nominated a song for that particular round. Nominations for Round 5 are still open for just under 24 hours if you wish to join in.

[Nostromo87]

Hmm, far-out http://i.ibb.co/mNLFrsJ/tongue1.jpg

[ahwell]

Round 5 Nom-
Bach - Art of Fugue, Canone per Augmentationem in moto contrario (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dEFPd8OznWc)

Just a little promotion... I highly encourage people watch the video of this one, I know the other classical pieces haven't had the most interesting videos, but this is just mindblowing (at least for me).
check out this channel, think you'll find it interesting too;
https://youtu.be/yojDu3E9jls

Yeah, I love this kind of stuff, and especially in the videos like the one I posted.... as in, there was no art involved, but Bach’s own music shapes itself (the lines follow the music) and it’s crazy how he pulls it off.

[ahwell]

1. Schnittke - Concerto Grosso #1, Rondo - The video is so cool, I love the chemistry of the orchestra... And a great and fascinating piece as well, written in the depths of the Cold War...



The energy and tonality make a lot of sense in this regard.

Yes, some tough times for Schnittke, especially considering any music considered hard to listen to was banned... so most of his work got banned.

[Chypmunk]

That's time at the bar for Round 4, unfortunately neither Captain Spaulding nor edarsenal put in an appearance but far be it from me to start any rumours when more than one participant go missing at the same time :whistle:.......

1st - The Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter (64 pts)

2nd - JINJER - I Speak Astronomy (61 pts)
3rd - Seether - Driven Under (58 pts)
3rd - Night Club - Schizophrenic (58 pts)
5th - Concrete Blonde - The Beast (57 pts)
6th - Yoko Takahashi - The Cruel's Angel Thesis (54 pts)
7th - Gaelic Storm - Scalliwag (52 pts)
8th - The Swell Season - Feeling the Pull (51 pts)
9th - Schnittke - Concerto Grosso #1, Rondo (50 pts)
10th - Comus - Song to Comus (45 pts)
11th - Therion - Schwartzalbenheim (44 pts)

So the John-Connor show continues, this one making it three through to the Final for them :up:

Mudvayne - Happy?

Tapiman - No Chance

Caravan - Winter Wine

My Dying Bride - Catherine Blake

[Sedai]

1. Billie Eilish - Bury a Friend - This girl doesn't interview well, but is a tremendous talent for her age. She writes all her own stuff with her brother, as well. Not your average pop girl.

2. Caravan - Winter Wine - Steven Wilson ftw on the mix here. Ridiculous how much this mix improved after he got his hands on it.

3. Bach - Art of Fugue, Canone per Augmentationem in moto contrario - Not a favorite canon, but still great.

4. Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage

5. Guns and Roses - You Could be Mine - Great tune, but I am sick of it at this point

6 My Dying Bride - Catherine Blake - MDB has always been hit or miss for me. Oddly, so is this song. I like parts of it, but others drag on too much.

7. Mudvayne - Happy? I've always thought this Mudvayne track sounded like some other song, which escapes me art the moment.

Round 6 nom
Alexisonfire - This Could Be Anywhere In The World (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PPcds3jOhRQ)

[pahaK]

1. My Dying Bride - Catherine Blake
MDB is little hit-and-miss for me too but Catherine Blake is of my favorite songs by them. I love both sides of this song and the contrast they make is great.

2. Guns N' Roses - You Could Be Mine
Quite decent GnR track (though it would be hard to find a bad song from either of the Illusions).

3. Billie Eilish - Bury a Friend
Surprisingly good based on one listen, mimalistic but not boring. Here Iiked the video as well.

4. Mudvayne - Happy?
Kinda generic but not bad. Little colorless vocals but above average bass lines.

5. Caravan - Winter Wine
Old school prog with little weak vocalist. I guess the verses do drag a bit too (at times it feels like these bands only fully wake up during the instrumental wankery parts). Pretty nice still.

6. Tapiman - No Chance
More old school prog but surprisingly short one this time. Doesn't drag like Caravan but otherwise I prefer Caravan's style over this.

7. Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage
This is little better without the video (doesn't feel so obvious joke). Still not exactly my thing.

8. L7 - Monster
I wonder if they'd ever become any popular without being an all girl group. At least this song as bland and generic as they come.

9. Mouth & MacNeal - Hello-A
Despite the missing bra I found this song really boring. Lady has a good voice though.

10. Bach - Art of Fugue, Canone per Augmentationem in moto contrario
Not really in the mood for these classical pieces right now (and considering how I don't usually get them it's not good for mr. Bach).

[pahaK]

Considering the lack of love for MDB no growls this round...

Nomination for Round seven:

Beethoven - Symphony No. 5, Movement 1 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rRgXUFnfKIY&t=53s)

[MijaFrost]

1. Brahms - Piano Concerto No. 2, Movement 4

Magnificent. Very much appreciating the classical selections from ahwell.

2. Wisdom - War of Angels

I like this because I find it catchy and it reminds me of the Lord of the Rings universe.

3. Hues Corporation - There He Is Again

Short and snappy and lots of fun. Nice choice, pahaK.

4. The Jarmels - A Little Bit of Soap

Likeable bouncy oldie about heartbreak.

5. Neu! - negativland

Some of this is kind of grating, but there's good meatier parts too, and so for me it sounds like one of those instrumental pieces I like to put on while I just tune out and chill. Already played the entire thing twice.

6. Tracy Chapman - Give Me One Reason

A pleasant listen.

7. Losa - Church of Pitted Vipers

Not what I'd normally listen to, but the emotion here is relatable; we've all been there at least once...

8. Alexisonfire - This Could Be Anywhere In The World

Eh, this one's not for me.

Round 7 nom:

My Morning Jacket - Highly Suspicious (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BPKc3Q2in4I&feature=youtu.be)

Nomination for round 7

Angel Vivaldi - FIVE (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KtgQIaKOcr8)

[edarsenal]

The Jarmels - A Little Bit of Soap A happy little ditties about a sad experience

Tracy Chapman - Give Me One Reason While I'm so-so with Chapman, I do LOVE this song

Wisdom - War of Angels some serious riffs in this one

Hues Corporation - There He Is Again a bit of funk, very nice

Brahms - Piano Concerto No. 2, Movement 4 it salves AND revives!

Alexisonfire - This Could Be Anywhere In The World was always on the fence about this one

Losa - Church Of Pitted Vipers A little repetitive but solid all the same

Neu! - negativland did not work for me



Next Round:

Godsmack - Cryin' Like A B#tch (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p-lAWZBHHgw)

[pahaK]

1. Hues Corporation - There He Is Again
Such a groovy song. Been listening to it quite a few times since I watched Blacula some months ago.

2- Losa - Church Of Pitted Vipers
Can't say how good it is yet but me adding the album to my Spotify playlists is a good sign. Kinda like Eyehategod but with less hate.

3. Brahms - Piano Concerto No. 2, Movement 4
There are many good sequences on this and as a whole I rather enjoyed it. What I don't get is why did Brahms (and all the other classical composers, I suppose) had to cram so many ideas on a single piece instead building multiple more uniform pieces. I don't like how things change every few seconds and nothings has time to grow.

4. Wisdom - War of Angels
A bit generic power metal. Not bad but doesn't really leave that much of an impression either.

5. Tracy Chapman - Give Me One Reason
I'm not that much into blues. Tracy has a good voice and the song isn't bad but I wouldn't really listen to this.

6. Alexisonfire - This Could Be Anywhere In The World
That screamer is quite bad and I usually don't like these something-core bands anyways. Clean parts aren't too bad though.

7. The Jarmels - A Little Bit of Soap
I don't know what the genre is called but I don't really like this style. It's not terrible but a bit too sweet and naive sounding (or something).

8. Neu! - negativland
How about no. There's absolutely nothing happening in these almost ten minutes. This review hails from true Negativland.

[pahaK]

Round 7 nomination (let's try some Finnish stuff for a change):

Ajattara - Harhojen renki (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jphdm0xE3kQ)

[ahwell]

There are many good sequences on this and as a whole I rather enjoyed it. What I don't get is why did Brahms (and all the other classical composers, I suppose) had to cram so many ideas on a single piece instead building multiple more uniform pieces. I don't like how things change every few seconds and nothings has time to grow.

Hmm, this is a very interesting thought... Brahms has five main themes in the piece, and this is only the fourth movement, so I can totally someone being turned off by it. That said, I think multiple listenings helped me a lot when getting into a piece, or else, yes, it can be a bit much.

Kind of ambivalent towards this. Don't dislike it, it's nice enough, just not crazy about it.

9. Ajattara - Harhojen renki


Round 8: Peter Gabriel - My Body is a Cage (https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=dTZQ2IB_x7c)

[Sedai]

1. Angel Vivaldi - FIVE - Angel was my guitar teacher for about two years. Great guy, and a fantastic talent. I can play almost all the sections of this song, as he helped me learn all the tricks involved. A couple sections are a bit beyond my skill, but I can get through it OK.

2. Beethoven - Symphony No. 5, Movement 1

[pahaK]

1. Ajattara - Harhojen renki
One of my favorite Finnish bands. Nice lyrics too.

2. Jim Croce - Time In A Bottle
Nice little song. Don't really know what else to say.

3. Beethoven - Symphony No. 5, Movement 1
Would work as a movie soundtrack but like most soundtracks it doesn't really interest me on its own.

4. Angel Vivaldi - FIVE
I'd rather have vocals than four minutes long guitar solo.

5. Godsmack - Cryin' Like A B#tch
It might work on a gym but that's about it.

6. Nogizaka46 - Nandome no Aozora ka
Really tired somehow. Almost feels like listening to 45rpm vinyl on 33rpm.

7. Pansy Division - That's So Gay
That's so gay.

8. Billy Idol - Flesh For Fantasy
Never liked Idol. Also works even worse when watching the video, just can't stand him.

9. My Morning Jacket - Highly Suspicious
I didn't get the joke.

Round 9
Garbage & Screaming Females - Because The Night (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tOmKGjy-Ct0watch?v=SRvCvsRp5ho)

[pahaK]

1. Uriah Heep - Circle of Hands
I've loved Uriah Heep since I was a kid. Demons & Wizards is one of the best albums ever.

2. Aly & Fila ft. Haliene - Paralyzed
I like this kind of trance(?). It's maybe a bit too chorus heavy and vocals are too high in the mix.

3. Brahms - Clarinet Quintet, Movement 3
Melodic and quite catchy. Also not too over the place and feels like a single piece.

4. Peter Gabriel - My Body is a Cage
I'm not sure that middle part fits the rest of the song. The more quiet stuff was nice.

5. Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
Not a huge fan and when I want to listen to them I usually pick Operation: Livecrime. Also the album works better than indivudual songs.

6. boris - flood III (part II)
I don't know. It's not really bad but longer isn't always better.

7. Creed - One Last Breath
Again, not especially bad but it feels like I've heard it too many times before (and I'm not speaking of this particular song but referring to it being quite generic).

8. Huey Lewis & The News - Back In Time
Not my music at all, sorry.

[MijaFrost]

Round 10
Dick Dale and the Del-Tones - Misirlou (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jtkcM7lerFM)

[pahaK]

1. Tiamat - Equinox of the Gods
Not really a fan of Tiamat but they have few kick ass songs. Gotta love the lyrics here too.

2. Garbage & Screaming Females - Because The Night
Good song and good performance. I like Garbage and Shirley is great. Never heard of the Screaming Females but the guitarist-singer does a nice job too.

3. Iron Maiden - Killers
Music sounds like proper Maiden but lets say that the best decision they ever made was getting Bruce on vocals (and that's not even saying that Paul was bad).

4. Depeche Mode - It's No Good
One day I'll try to listen these guys properly. Most of the songs I've heard are at least OK but somehow their albums have never landed on my playlists.

5. Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive
One of the better hard rock bands. They wrote a bunch of good songs and this is one of them.

6. Eisbrecher - Exzess Express
Wannabe Rammstein. It's rather OK song but little (or actually quite a lot) too similar to their fellow Germans.

7. Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 20, Movement 3
Could use little more energy and force on the piano. Too timid arrangement or something?

8. The Cult - Fire Woman
So it's like Peter Steele's little brother singing in a stadion rock band. Not exactly the best idea that comes to mind (though not the worst either, I guess).

9. Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First
It's too punky to sound really professional and too tame to replace that with energy or aggresion. Kinda like worst of the both worlds.

10. The Velvet Underground - What Goes On
Something with the sound of this almost hurts my ears. Combine that with dull and monotonous music and end up very low on my vote.

[pahaK]

Let's go with soundtrack stuff too so round 10 nomination:

Ennio Morricone / Christy - Run, Man Run (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zQX2TFxUfQ0)

Let's go with soundtrack stuff too so round 10 nomination:

Ennio Morricone / Christy - Run, Man Run (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zQX2TFxUfQ0)
Nice soundtrack, just watched The Big Gundown last week or 2 weeks ago, classic western, Lee van Cleef is a cool dude.:cool:

[honeykid]

Garbage & Screaming Females - Because The Night - This was something I stumbled onto a last week and think it's brilliant.

The Cult - Fire Woman - Love this song. Always loved this song. In another week or so I might put this at #1, but atm I'm still enthralled to that version of Because The Night.

Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive - One of a handful of songs by Bon Jovi that I really like a lot.

Iron Maiden - Killers - It's been a long, long time since I listened to this song. Great album, too.

Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 20, Movement 3 - I was in the mood for this today.

Eisbrecher - Exzess Express - Driving guitar will often do well with me.

Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First - It's OK. That's about it.

Depeche Mode - It's No Good - There aren't many DM songs I really like. This isn't one of them. OK, but nothing more.

Tiamat - Equinox of the Gods - Even after 2 minutes I was bored.

The Velvet Underground - What Goes On - I like The Velvet Underground, but there is something about that track which makes you think you have tinnitus.

Welome back :up:

[edarsenal]

Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 20, Movement 3 From a young pup I have loved Mozart. Especially when it comes to his string concertos. They inspire, intoxicate, enrapture and I wax poetic upon hearing them, and him.
In the Musical Artist Hall of Fame (https://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=48337&page=24#), with the nomination of Amedeus, SilentVamp (also a Classical enthusiast and just all around Class Lady) posted a truly beautiful/passionate piece, Mozart Symphony 41 K 551 - Molto Allegro (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcly8-RGhgw) and this made me reminiscent of that one.

Iron Maiden - Killers Always enjoyed the Paul era of Iron Maiden a little bit more and songs like this are reason why

Eisbrecher - Exzess Express Did anyone have issues with the original link? Came up "not available". No biggie, just curious. Any poop, f@ckin feelin this. Serious riff and the vocals are an excellent match up to the music.

Garbage & Screaming Females - Because The Night a very powerful rendition by both ladies in this video. Moving, like the first time I heard Natalie Merchant sing this.

The Cult - Fire Woman always loved this one

Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive Don't really like Bon Jovi, but I really do like this one. Love the guitar work in it

Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First Not extraordinary but definitely a good solid song to kick out

The Velvet Underground - What Goes On this one not so much

Depeche Mode - It's No Good Never a fan, nothing against the song itself, it works, just not for me

Tiamat - Equinox of the Gods good but not great

[edarsenal]

Round 10
Alice and Chains - Love, Hate, Love (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0ztdtvXmrFc)

Eisbrecher - Exzess Express Did anyone have issues with the original link? Came up "not available". No biggie, just curious.


The same thing happened to me, I assumed it was because I don't live in Europe or the U.K. Copyright issues in my country or something...
So I listened to it on Google Play Music instead.

i just did another search on youtube and got another version that did. I thought it was something like that as well. I remember that occurring on and off in past tournaments.

Sorry about the link, played ok for me here which is all I can ever tell I'm afraid (I don't use vpn's). More than likely copyright reasons as mentioned by Mija. Glad you enjoyed it, that meshing of sound and vocals is perfect isn't it. Group was started by two ex-members of Megaherz (who came into being the year before Rammstein started) which is another group you might enjoy checking out.

[Chypmunk]

No votes from 'Pops' but that's not really surprising as parental matters rightly take precedence.

Round 9 results:

1st - Garbage & Screaming Females Because The Night (64 pts)

2nd - Iron Maiden - Killers (57 pts)
3rd - Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 20, Movement 3 (55 pts)
4th - Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive (53 pts)
5th - Eisbrecher - Exzess Express (51 pts)
5th - Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First (51 pts)
7th - The Cult - Fire Woman (49 pts)
8th - Depeche Mode - It's No Good (47 pts)
9th - The Velvet Underground - What Goes On (38 pts)

Well done honeykid on getting one through to the Final on your return :up:

1. Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt
Rammstein is little hit-and-miss band for me but this one is surely one of the hits. Lindemann has one of the best voices ever.

2. Ennio Morricone / Christy - Run, Man Run
One of the best movie themes ever. Morricone is god and Christy does amazing vocals.

3. Alice in Chains - Love, Hate, Love
Very nice slow-tempo grunge. Sounds surprisingly bombastic. I'll need to check them out properly if this is what they do (did?).

4. Thin Lizzy - Emerald
One of the few Thin Lizzy songs that I know (though I first encountered it as Skyclad's cover version). It's also the best of that bunch.

5. Electric Light Orchestra - Last Train To London
Kinda groovy but would benefit from more power. The lead singer is pretty weak too.

6. Brody Dalle - Rat Race
Good chorus but little dull verses. Hard to make this simple stuff interesting.

7. Wagner - Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde
It's not bad but it just doesn't do anything for me.

8. gang of four - damaged goods
This one's again in the bad spot between punk and proper music.

9. The Stranglers - Always The Sun
This sounds like they've grown tired of everything. Nothing left but slow death.

10. Dick Dale and the Del-Tones - Misirlou
Really don't like this surf sound. The brass part in the middle was the high point.

[John-Connor]

Congrats! Sedai :)


Dick Dale and the Del-Tones - Misirlou

Great band, love 'Would?' !
Electric Light Orchestra - Last Train To London
Added this one to my 70/80's YouTube playlist 👍
Ennio Morricone / Christy - Run, Man Run
Ennio and John Williams are the soundtrack GOAT's, original choice, very un-devlish pahak :D

Another great band, fav. tracks are 'Boys Are Back In Town', 'Whiskey In The Jar' and 'Dancing in the Moonlight'

Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T1cQBP0Vzx8)

[honeykid]

Dick Dale and the Del-Tones - Misirlou - It's great. We all know it.

The Stranglers - Always The Sun - I adore this song. It can bring me to tears, but today I'm in a more up mood.

Electric Light Orchestra - Last Train To London - Late 70's ELO? What's not to like?

Thin Lizzy - Emerald - A bit like Rammstein really. Any TL track I'm not familiar feels very much like another. Their sound is so distinctive but I like it.

Brody Dalle - Rat Race - First time hearing this and her. I liked it quite a bit.

Wagner - Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde - It's Wagner. So I quite like it and it goes on for a long time.

Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt - Growly guttural German rock. I don't mind it, but much of it sounds the same to me because I don't understand the lyrics and I'm not that interested. This is one I am familiar with though, and that helps it on this list.

gang of four - damaged goods - Thought this was ok, but it felt a little long. When it finished I went to see how long the track was. I was surprised it wasn't at least a minute longer. Not a good sign.

Alice In Chains - Love, Hate, Love - I just never got on board the AIC train with the exception of Dem Bones, which is a great song.

Ennio Morricone / Christy - Run, Man Run - I hate Westerns. The music is just one reason why. TBF this isn't top rank terrible but that's almost entirely thanks to the vocals.

easy enough fix, no worries at all. Like I said, it was more out of curiosity than inconvenience and I'll be looking into Rammstein, THANKS
