Poe with Mark Danielewski - Hey Pretty

Wet Leg - Wet Dream - I don't think I'm familiar with any other song in this round, so this'll probably by my #1.

Twisted Sister - Ride to Live, Live to Ride - This is ok, like most of the stuff of theirs I've heard. They're American 80's rock and this is what it sounded like. That's not a bad thing.

The Alan Parsons Project - Don't Answer Me - This sounds a little familar, but I don't know why. Maybe a soundtrack? Or just evocative of its time? I don't think I've heard it before?

Volbeat - Doc Holliday - I was cautious when this started, but I really bought into that guitar intro. The rest is good and that other guitar solo is nice.

Yeule - Pocky Boy - I quite liked this. The title gave me a fairly good clue as to the kind of vibe it'd have.

Kero Kero Bonito - Rock 'n' Roll Star - It's a great song (obviously) and I like her voice. Everything else doesn't quite come together for me. Quirky, but not to the point I love it.

Judas Priest - Turbo Lover - I don't mind JP, but they're not a favourite. This is just another JP song to me.

Rush - Red Sector A - A bit like JP and TS, it's them and it sounds like them. I've never gotten into Rush and so this is just there.

Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger - Percussion and hook. That's all this song is for me. So, not the song at all. If this isn't bottom half for me, it won't be a good round.

Joe Stamm - Flower of the Everglades (ft. Charles Wesley Godwin) - This has been an inauspicious opening for this round.

Miles Davis - Rated X - I'm sure he's a genius and I'm a philistine. But at least the country one had the decency to be about 3 minutes shorter.
