A Tune for June (song tourney)

Tools    





Round 5

1. The Cramps - What's Inside a Girl?
(If my brain had a soundtrack, it'd probably sound something like this flirtatiously sinister tune.)

2. Johnny Ray - Bury Me Out on the Lone Prairie
(My affinity for westerns means I also have an affinity for cowboy songs such as this.)

3. Thornetta Davis - Cry
(Was loving this for awhile, especially in the first half when it shows a lot of restraint, but I felt like the song lost some of its individuality once the rock elements took over. Still a good song.)

4. Charlie Rich - The Most Beautiful Girl
(Classic country.)

5. Dorothy - Raise Hell
(I've heard this somewhere before, perhaps on a TV spot or something. Rock with female vocalists always seems to appeal to me, even when the song is average. I'd say this is slightly above average. Moderately catchy, but I don't think it's dynamic enough to survive multiple listens.)

6. Bob Dylan - Maggie's Farm
(Love Dylan, but this is one of my least favorites from his well-known stuff. I feel like his voice is at its most grating here.)

7. Dream Theater - Untethered Angel
(I have a lot of respect for Dream Theater as musicians, but that respect rarely translates into outright enjoyment of their music. This is no exception.)

8. Quix*O*Tic - Lord of this World
(Not terrible since it has the backbone of Sabbath, but this cover feels too disjointed and messy. Those transitions are jarring.)

9. Breaking Benjamin - So Cold
(Too generic.)

10. Jeffrey Osborne - On the Wings of Love
(Too lame.)

12. Tyler Childers - Universal Sound - Couldn't make it through this one.



Round 6

1. Floorman - Crazy Boy
(Nice vintage sound and a welcome change-up from what I'm used to hearing in these tournaments. Makes me want to don a pinstripe suit and fedora.)

2. Opeth - Windowpane
(I've yet to listen to an Opeth album in full, but over the last 2-3 months I've been listening to a lot of random songs from them. They took awhile to win me over, but I'm becoming a fan. In order to fully appreciate them, though, you have to pay attention to the music. Put on headphones, close your eyes and let them take you on a journey. I'm no musician, but their music sounds incredibly complex to me. Odd time signatures, crazy transitions . . . No doubt, they're insanely talented. This likely would've been my #1 had it ended with more of an exclamation point than an ellipsis.)

3. Alestorm - Drink
(I loved these guys after first discovering them, but the novelty of "pirate metal" soon lost its luster. I mostly just nominated this to see what @Nostromo87 thought of it since he loves both alcohol and pirates (pretty sure he's created threads dedicated to each subject). I still enjoy "Drink" as a goofy, fun song. It'd be awesome to one day find myself in a tavern singing this song along with all the patrons, everyone hoisting frothing beer mugs in the air . . . but unless I'm transported into a musical version of Pirates of the Caribbean, I doubt that scenario will ever play out.)

4. Tyler Childers - Universal Sound
(The acoustic version was my introduction to this song, so in comparison this studio version sounds overproduced, sanding away some of Childers's natural grit and not allowing the spotlight to shine as brightly on his excellent songwriting. Had I heard this version first, though, it's possible I'd be raving about it. I was planning on nominating his "Nose to the Grindstone." He's one of the most promising young country artists we have right now.)

5. Sweet Tempest - Mine
(Not the type of music that instantly grabs me, but I like it well enough and I think that it should continue to grow on me. It definitely suits the mood/atmosphere of the movie.)

6. Twistin' Tarantulas - Let's Go
(Danceable rockabilly!)

7. Sam & Dave - Hold On, I'm Coming
(I sing this every time I climax.)

8. The Donnas - Who Invited You?
(Wish it felt more rock n' roll than pop, but an enjoyable, albeit forgettable, little ditty.)

9. Vic Mensa ft. G-Eazy
(Most of the lyrics are dumb as hell, but in an entertaining way, at least.)

10. Retröxx - Aerobics Tape 5 (W.A.S.P. - Wild Child)
(Classic Nostromo. I so hope spandex and aerobics become fashionable again. I guess the modern equivalent is yoga, which just seems like fancy stretching to me. How do you work up a proper sweat doing a downward dog? . . . Disappointed that "Wild Child" is almost unrecognizable in this remix. That's one of my favorite songs to rock out to.)

11. Bhones - 12 Rounds
(Sounds like the perfect soundtrack for a video montage hyping a boxing match. As a listener, I was ready to throw in the towel in round one.)

12. Madonna - This Used to Be My Playground
(Adore Madonna, but slow ballads are not her strength. This one nearly put me to sleep.)


Probably my favorite round so far due to the diverse range of genres. Also a very tough group of songs to rank.
