[Ocha905]

5. Unprocessed - "Blackbone" I even stopped listening to this wonderful PL to listen to their latest album. Ulahoopski 8th
4. Brenda Russell - "Piano in the Dark" Beautiful, soulful, piano flourishes, tick, tick, tick. Chipmunk 10th
3. Leslie Gore - "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" I sing this to myself often but only knew it from the Simpsons. Fossie 32 17th
2. Cloud Nothings - "Final Summer" A fav and excited to listen to the new album. omgfridge 7th
1. Between the Buried and Me - "White Walls" A bit indulgent but the peaks are so stupendous I couldn't leave it out. NaturalDisaster 14th

Billy. Doves - "Black and White Town" The harshest of harsh Billy's I've given. There's nothing wrong with this, just sounds slightly dull in comparison to everything else. Tonga Bob 1st!

HM's. Not voting for Lana, Anathema, Velvet, Joji, microwave, Agnes and Supergrass is a travesty.

Everything not named was also good!

Playlist rating - Best. Playlist. Eva/10

I was hoping for your votes and got worried when you said there were others in contention

 

[Ulahoopski]

5: White Walls - Between the Buried and Me
4: Lighterless - Microwave
3: Free Tibet - Hilight Tribe
2: Let the Light In - Lana Del Rey
1: The Lighthouse Song - Josh Pyke
Billy: Slow Dancing in the Dark - Joji

Beyond belief that 6 campaigners can't recognise the greatness in that BTBAM track let alone deem it the worst. I weep for them.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Ocha905 I would have given you 5 for Polaris if it's any consolation.

Jeses, if I didn't love these guys I'd pour derision onto their song choices because:

1. Never heard of them
2. Lacking composition
3. Inane lyrics
4. Repetive chorus
5. Out of tune instruments
6. Never heard of them

I expected Ula to give this votes, but you?

 

[Ocha905]

I was hoping for your votes and got worried when you said there were others in contention

Your's and my 5 were the "couldn't possibly leave out" choices. Banga!

Ocha905 I would have given you 5 for Polaris if it's any consolation.

That you enjoyed it is awesome enough haha. 1:55 on the song is probably my favourite moment in any song.

 

[Dinsdale]

I'd like to thank everyone who voted for some old school psychedelia in Pink Floyd even though the "noise only came out of 1 speaker".

Obviously in the days before colour and stereo were invented.

Dad's old Marantz stereo system could play that out of both speakers with the old mono button

Yeah not bad. I've got a few of Polaris songs on my playlists.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Also these are good

 

[Ocha905]

Yeah not bad. I've got a few of Polaris songs on my playlists.

A different band haha. 북극성 (Polaris) is the song name, 파란노을 (Parannoul) the artist's name. The person behind the name is a recluse, not much is known about them.

Parannoul appear very highly in RYM charts, but you never encounter them outside of that website.
