Plugger missed his chance to nom this

 

[Agent93]

And I must admit, this Little River Band song is quite good roo2macca

Booooooooooo. Down with dad rock's dominance in the competition.

 

[Agent93]

This is another song I thought of that fits the theme well.



I don't think Placebo would count as dad rock either.

Would have billied it.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Not a fan usually, although a couple of ok ones.

It's not getting anything from me either way.

 

[GreyCrow]

MWPP missed a golden opportunity as well

 

[Agent93]

Welp. Grizzly Bear are going to win the weirest MV of the round.

I only saw a bit of it and I'm going to have nightmares.

 

[Plugger35]

Either way they are ******* shit

They are good live, saw them at a rock festival years ago and that's when I became a fan of theirs, one of those bands that are better live than on record.

Doesn't really fit the theme as the "slice" isn't referring to slicing people, that's one of the reasons I didn't nom Cut Me Down as it's a metaphorical cut.

It wouldn't matter. The word is there. We had this discussion recently about artist's intent vs viability for a theme.

They have quite a few weird videos, they are like OK Go on acid, their videos are more interesting than their music.

I'd value the artists intent personally in this case.

 

[SM]

Absolutely.

 

[BRAB]

Absolutely.

I'll always have your back mate

 

[RedmanWasHere]

My votes are in.

My decision is final.

Over to you guys.

 

[krisholio14]

Was expecting to see a version of this

First song I thought of

I still would have nommed Cut Me Down as it's a brilliant song that fit the theme but the song I nommed fit the theme better.

Lloyd Cole is one of the great lyricists, he's even better than Bono in terms of writing lyrical poetry.



Compare that to the sort of dross Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift write.

Rattlesnakes is a ****ing great record.

A theme like this wouldn't be complete without spam like this....

 

[por_please_ya]

Listened through. Have 12 on my shortlist. Only a couple I know I'll definitely be voting for and the rest have to fight it out. Three on my billy list. Overall an ok playlist.

Speaking of, I saw this recently (possibly because I'm out of the loop)

During my time here, you are the only person I've seen care about the artists intentions.

Songs are art and art can be interpreted differently.

Good counterpoint

HE CARES A LOT about intentions, cruyff and McCartney.

 

[DroopStDanny]

Just curious how someone justified 'Lone Bird' being part of the (title) theme?! Cool song but the only thing I can think of is being pecked to death by a bird lol.

Cause and effect of cuts and bruises. I'd say the nommer is a Hitchcock fan.

 

[Plugger35]

Rattlesnakes is a ******* great record.

A great song too.



I nommed that back in Round 179 for a measly 11 botes, robbed.

Also nommed this Lloyd Cole classic back in Round 186 for 19 botes and a moral podium.



I'm the only person to nom Lloyd Cole in this contest which is shameful for everyone else here.

They'll never top their treadmill video, they're just trying too hard now.
