OPEN FLOOR.



The Donnas - Who Invited You - I've nominated this a couple of times in tournaments and it never does well, but I don't care. I'm going all rocking ladies this month and The Donnas are among the best of them. I love this song.

Madonna - This Used To Be My Playground - I've always loved this song. I just really connect with it.

Sam & Dave - Hold On, I'm Coming - Classic. Honestly, how many don't like this? Gotta be a small percentage of the population.

Bohnes - 12 Rounds - Short and punchy. I like it. Get in, get done.

Sweet Tempest - Mine - I liked it.

Vic Mensa - Reverse ft. G-Eazy - This was ok and a nice change of pace for today

Floorman - Crazy Boy - Brassy with a strong bass. It felt a bit too one note towards the end but I liked it.

Alestorm - Drink - Has this been nominated before? Or something like it? It's fun anyway.

Twistin' Tarantulas - Let's Go - Not really my thing, but it's ok and at least it has tempo and energy.

Tyler Childers - Universal Sound - Repetitive, but that works in its favour. Not my thing, but it didn't outstay its welcome, which is something I always appreciate.

Retröxx - Aerobics Tape 5 (W.A.S.P. - Wild Child remix) - (I had to do the same as gbg, so I hope that's ok) - It does go on, doesn't it? Never gets anywhere though.

Opeth - Windowpane - Sorry, I'm sure it's all very clever and everything, but I just don't care. It's like rock trance or something. In a comedown room, I'm sure I'd appreciate it.

1. Opeth - Windowpane
One of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands.

2. Sweet Tempest - Mine
Makes me feel like dancing naked.

3. Retröxx - Aerobics Tape 5 (W.A.S.P. - Wild Child remix)
Gloriously 80's.

4. Sam & Dave - Hold On, I'm Coming
Great song.

5. Floorman - Crazy Boy
New to me, liked it a lot

6. The Donnas - Who Invited You
Oh wow, The Donnas. Been a while since I heard them.

7. Twistin' Tarantulas - Let's Go
I like the music more than the vocals.

8. Madonna - This Used To Be My Playground


9. Tyler Childers - Universal Sound


10. Alestorm - Drink
Oh god, so silly

11. Bohnes - 12 Rounds
wished it had been heavier.

#1. Retröxx - Aerobics (Tape 5)
I'd buy four zillion of these synth track tapes, and I'd want each one to be numbered like that, Tape 367, Tape 29,638, Tape 937,947,843, etc. While drinking the other day I came to this choice. The forum can definitely profit from some EXERCISE SPIRIT, I've seen that MoFo Personal Pictures Thread, LAFF. Unfortunate the aerobics video didn't work for Honeykid, and assume that also means that entire YouTube Channel isn't available to him, it's called The 80s Retrospective, lots of fun material!!!!

#2. Alestorm - Drink
Clear the decks for action or in her lagoon we'll drop anchor! Heave off yer corsets and prepare to be boarded! Firstrate gunpowder rum drinking music, now I want to find more Alestorm videos.

#3. The Donnas - Who Invited You?
I'm pretty good with it. *Attitude*

#4. Sweet Tempest - Mine
Stylish echo-ie muffled foxy-ness

#5. Sam & Dave - Hold On, I'm Coming
It's used in movies sometimes, classic

#6. Floorman - Crazy Boy
Swingin music with a welcome flow to it

#7. Opeth - Windowpane
Actually a fine song. Not familiar with the band

#8. Tyler Childers - Universal Sound
Pleasing melody and harmony, I've lost most interest in country music but sometimes I can enjoy it and this sounds pretty favorable.

#9. Twistin' Tarantulas - Let's Go
Upbeat throwback kind of rock

#10. Madonna - This Used to Be My Playground
Apparently the theme song for the film A League Of Their Own, sort of somber slow-dance song

#11. Bohnes - 12 Rounds
Wicked

#12. Vic Mensa ft. G-Eazy

Round 7

1. Tanya Tucker - The Wheels of Laredo
(A great return to form by a country music legend. Few artists possess a voice with so much character.)

2. Ihsahn - Until I Too Dissolve
(I thought this was pretty kick-ass. Hearing harsh vocals mixed in with very 80's sounding riffs gives the song a sorta schizophrenic feel, but it worked for me. Will be listening to more of their stuff.)

3. The Seige - Run For Your Life
(Rap is one of my least favorite genres, but this track turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. I love how intense and adrenalized it feels, really embodying the "run for your life" of its title.)

4. Don Williams - If Hollywood Don't Need You
(Pleasant, soothing, laidback.)

5. Ida Maria - I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked
(People usually tell me the opposite. I actually just listened to this for the first time the other day when it showed up in the YouTube suggestions and the title caught my eye. Funny that it now gets nominated. Fun, energetic song.)

6. Sly & The Family Stone - Dance to the Music
(Funky.)

7. Thin Lizzy - Boys Are Back in Town
(A classic rock staple that's grown a bit stale for me due to overexposure.)

8. Soviac - Strill
(I enjoyed this while it lasted, but it's so short that it doesn't make any real impact.)

9. Low Flying Owls - Looks of a Killer
(Didn't do anything for me and felt twice as long as it actually was.)
