Song Contest Part XVI, Host: ???, Theme:???, Noms Due: ???

[Back One Out]

Lol. I think they all sounded similar to me because I didn't like any of them.

Whenever someone says "it all sounds the same" or "I found it boring", it's usually because they don't like it, they've switched off and they're not listening. It makes the initial criticism invalid. More accurate to simply say: I just don't like it, not my style, so I didn't really listen.

All blues sounds the same. All jazz sounds the same. All big band swing sounds the same. All rap sounds the same. All metal sounds the same. All punk sounds the same. All techno sounds the same. All classical music symphonies and piano sonatas sound the same

It just sounds the same to people who aren't into it and don't like it.

People always say every song by AC/DC or the Ramones is the same. I know what they mean, but it's a cliched criticism and it's horseshit anyway. I love the those bands and I can tell you what song of theirs is playing from the first few seconds. To my ears, all of their songs are distinct. As bands, they found their sound and didn't feel the need to use any gimmicks and make cosmetic changes for for the sake of change. Doesn't mean their songs are the same.


edit: shit, I'm repeating myself, aren't I? I've posted all this before...

Thanks

I listened at work this morning. And I could definitely tell there were differences but yeah you're right, it's not my style and it's hard to focus on it if I'm not enjoying it. In fact, I have billied one of the songs.

Hahaha yeah you've probably said this shit before but all good

 

[The Speaker]

RIP to all WA listeners.

apparently we're not 'working class' enough

You're not alone, Hoos was bagging the shit out of those first 5 songs in the song review PM.

Stand your ground Porps they all sound the same, they're boring and don't tell me how to listen to the playlist campaigner.

That was a song review PM?

 

[_Rake_]

Yes.

You were awfully harsh with your scathing comments. We told you to calm down, but your wanky pretentiousness was overbearing; and honestly, quite scary.

 

[DroopStDanny]

And here comes the sooking.

Two days to listen to just over an hour of music and submit votes. If you can't be arsed doing that why bother entering a nom.

 

[The Speaker]

Not going far enough. We should only be given just over an hour to vote from the time the playlist goes up IMO.

 

[Hoos]

Yes.

It must have been something to do with that plant based pie that I was forced to eat in some weird focus group.

It's not as if it was only just revealed either.
I commend you on your hosting, Danny.

 

[por_please_ya]

I was busy Mon AND Tues night, but thankfully a quiet work day meant I could listen this morning.

It's not like the theme was songs over 10 mins lol

Might be due an anything but Rock redux when I win.

I became so accustomed to the short songs I went to give votes to an ad.

 

[Back One Out]

The one obvious exception is Billie Eilish (or Finneas O’Connell feat. Billie Eilish)

All of her their songs sound identical.

 

[HahnPremium]

One would think a sub 3 minute playlist would lend itself heavily to a preponderance of a punk/pop genre no?

 

[Back One Out]

Vampire Weekend are this century’s answer to Paul Simon in the way they shamelessly steal music from Africa, the Pacific, etc, in order to enhance their own shitty lame tunes.

I nominated the Melanesian Choir for one of our previous rounds and got donuts
