Yeah, it's always nice to read that. Unfortunately, most of my votes here have been done haphazardly at the very last minute, so I haven't been able to share, but I'll try for this one

Tony Bennett/Bill Evans - Young and Foolish

PJ Harvey - 50 Ft Queenie - Another from my youth. I've always loved this song and I rediscovered it a few weeks ago.

Beastie Boys - No Sleep Till Brooklyn - This is a classic I've loved since release. I was 13/14 when that first Beastie Boys album was released, which is nearly the perfect age for it. This could have a good chance of winning with me.

Smokie - If You Think You Know How to Love Me - A nice, laid back 70's song. There's a lot to like here.

Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe! - Well that's a nice little pop song to start us off.

Queen - Stone Cold Crazy - I don't know if I've heard this before? I'm not a Queen fan, but it's difficult to actually not like them. I guess I'd say they're unexplored for me.

The Runaways - Dead End Justice - The Runaways is another pool I've rarely swam in, but always liked when I did. At half the length I might've had it higher.

M.I.A. - Bad Girls - I've just started listening to this for the first time about 2 weeks ago. I like it quite a bit.

Beastie Boys - Make Some Noise - It's the Beastie Boys and I like the Beastie Boys.

Amaranthe - Boomerang - When blokey isn't growling this is OK.

Lana Del Rey - F*ck It I Love You - It's there and it passes. Pleasant enough but that's it for me.

The Cure - In Between Days - I've never really vibed with The Cure. This is inoffensive enough, but I'm pretty uninterested by the end.

Ednita Nazario - Espíritu Libre - It's not a bad song, for a country song, but that country twang puts me of so the language barrier is a problem for me too.

Chat Pile - Slaughterhouse - Musically I quite like it, but not a fan of the vocal.


This has been a great round of tracks though. I don't think there was anything I outright disliked and most would've done well with me in most other tournaments I've participated in.

I did have something else in mind but I've completely forgotten what it was, so I'll stick with the 90's and this classic.
