My round 12 list with an attempt at adding comments:
1. Wang Chung - Wait: The success of Tarzan Boy a few rounds ago and honeykid's King entry inspired me pick one of my favorite '80s synthpop songs, which is from one of my favorite movie soundtracks (and movies),
To Live and Die in L.A. Looks like it's doing great so far!
2. Shontelle - Impossible: A beautiful, passionate vocal performance.
3. King - Love & Pride: A fun, upbeat song that I'm surprised I haven't heard before.
4. Annie - Anthonio (Berlin Breakdown Version): Not a bad round for synth music, huh?
5. Rush - Passage to Bangkok: I love Rush, but it's not one of my favorites of theirs. It's a bit too clever for me.
6. James Taylor - Carolina in my Mind: A pretty good country-fied track exemplifying former president James Taylor's unique brand of bittersweet folk rock.
7. Cerulean Veins - Kiss Me Kill Me: I like Goth/darkwave music a lot, but this one seems a bit derivative and I'm not crazy about the vocals.
8. Stone Sour - Through Glass: Sorry, but this faded into the background to me pretty quickly.
