A song for August

1. Led Zeppelin - Ramble On
   Hated Zeppelin growing up, but they've grown on me like a comfortable fungus over the years.
   
   
2. Graveyard - Please Don't
   Yup.
   
   
3. Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky
   OMG I LOVE The Beatles!!!
   
   
4. Phoebe Killdeer and the Short Straws - The Fade Out Line
   Sessy voice with a catchy chorus that reminds me of something that I can't quite place and will likely be angry once connect those two dots. But I do like simple guitar riffs like this one.
   
   
5. Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
   I'm a bit smoked out on this song. I had their Machine Head CD in high school. Once I heard Highway Star, I was a convert.
   
   
6. Sonny James - Young Love
   Nice.
   
   
7. Queensryche - Best I Can
   Not a personal favorite of mine from them. I'm also pretty sure Eddie Vedder learned his stage presence by fronting Queensryche earlier on. o.O
   
   
8. Balance of Power - Chemical Imbalance
   Weird and JUST outside of my range. Never could get into string synth metal. =\
   
   
9. Moby - My Weakness
   Moby is hit or miss for me. The few things that I like I REALLY like, but I always had a weird feeling that he did a lot of the same stuff and couldn't quite get the draw past a few singles. Just me though.

nomincoming.

Also, if anyone wants to know what my initial idea for a troll nom was, it was Baby Shark.

I think we may be sharing a wavelength....

Imagine if that song actually won this thread.

Round 9 nom:
Vincent Neil Emerson - The Ballad of the Choctaw-Apache

Yours was the Moby one, right? For what it's worth, I like some of his stuff, and I even own that album, but that's not one of my favorites from it. Didn't dislike it, though.

Round 10 nomination:

Crying - Roy Orbison

The link is correct, but I mistakenly put the name of the album ("February Son") instead of the song when listing it. @Chypmunk, can you fix it?

Yes, I get a blissful, euphoric, near-religious experience from that song. Not the majority opinion, obviously. Also, with all of the rock and roll in that round, it probably stood out like a circus peanut would on a charcuterie board.

Oh well. I find it funny more than anything.

Corrected - thanks for pointing it out.
Shows that I (and presumably Seds too) listen without watching doesn't it
At least we listened to the right song .... phew!
