Alabama 3 - Woke up This Morning § (alt link if needed) - As JJ said, it's impossibe to not think Soprano's but that's perfectly fine with me.

Dmitri Shostakovich - Cello Sonata in D minor, II. Allegro - I think a nice short piece of classical music may do well with me this round. Just a feeling I have.

Michael Sembello - Rock Until You Drop - No love for The Monster Squad?

boris - 1970 - This does play well for me though. It's fairly generic, but that's OK if you like the sound.

Survivor - The Search Is Over - I don't know this but it's definitely 80's. Unless they're great though, I'm not the biggest fan of power ballads and this doesn't really cut it in the power part of that description.

Queensryche - Eyes of a Stranger - Queensryche are another band which I can't really connect with.

Flowing Tears - Kismet - This felt a lot longer than it was. Didn't hate it, just thought it'd been on for 5 or 6 minutes and when I looked it's only just over 4.

"Weird Al" Yankovic - Dare to be Stupid -I really don't like comedy songs. I do like the premise of this though.

The Builders And The Butchers - Raise Up - Again, traditional so rarely works for me. I didn't hate it though so it'll depend on the rest of the round.

Spoon - Lines in the Suit - I don't know what it was, but I really didn't care much for this at all.

1. Alabama 3 - Woke up This Morning
Of course, The Sopranos intriduced me to that song (and band). Cracking song...

2. Spoon - Lines in the Suit
Never heard this before, and like it!

3. boris - 1970
I quite like this band in general.

4. The Builders And The Butchers - Raise Up

5. Michael Sembello - Rock Until You Drop
I think I've only heard the song "Maniac" from him. Not bad!

6. Queensryche - Eyes of a Stranger

7. Dmitri Shostakovich - Cello Sonata in D minor, II. Allegro
I like Shostakovich but classical music doesn't really fit song contests for me. I think because they're too formal.

8. Survivor - The Search Is Over

9. Flowing Tears - Kismet

10. "Weird Al" Yankovic - Dare to be Stupid

Bit of a deja-vu round for me

  1. Hooverphonic - Frosted Flake Wood
  2. Player - Baby Come Back
    Previous nom of mine
  3. Brandy Clark - Stripes
  4. The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
    Another previous nom of mine
  5. The Radiacs - Do Bad Things
  6. Warren Zevon - Werewolves Of London
  7. Garth Brooks - Learning to Live Again
  8. Savatage - Believe
  9. Dead Territory - 4' 33'' (Death Metal Cover)

Solid enough round - even the track I had to place at the bottom was pretty much faultless in its execution.

My R11 nom:
Chris Knight - Down The River

Dang, I missed the vote! I think QR would have won, too...

I will catch the next round!

@Yoda - errrrmmmm, sorry Chris but that round's over and done already, did you not get my response to your PM yesterday? I do hope at least some of them were enjoyable listens to soften the blow.

Also as you didn't nominate a song before the deadline you can't vote in the current round (round 10) but like Sedai is doing you are more than welcome to nominate a track for Round 11 and rejoin at that point.

Guess I misread it, thought an AM was a PM or something. Oh well.

Sorry dude, I always end/begin rounds at around 9am my time as it's the most convenient time for me. As stated earlier, you're more than welcome to nominate and rejoin for next round.



NBD. But yeah since you're five hours ahead that means the hours leading right up until the deadline I'm asleep, so when it falls on a weekend like that I'll almost always miss it.
