Btw Ocha905 this might be controversial but I prefer this cover of your song lol

 

[Purple7x08_24]

I have so many favourite genres dammit.

I'm the same. I could easily nominate Country, Death Metal, Black Metal, Moody rock (National, Nick Cave), 80s synth pop, Electronic, Classical.

I don't really have a favorite but tend to cycle between styles/genres on my mood and where I'm at.

I think 3 months ago my top 5 played artists were

Ellende (Black Metal)
Band of Horses (Rock)
The Irrepressibles (Orchestral, Electronic Pop Rock)
OMD (Synth Pop)
Logan & Isabelle (Country)

I think I've only been playing Ellende in the last month.

Congrats, that was an awesome tune, ahead of its time.

Thanks! It's probably my favourite Goth rock tune. Such a simple bassline to play too but such a groove.

This is great because I can nom anything, but I seriously have no idea what my fav genre is. Like at any time.

You're another who I have no idea what you'll nom and am keen to find out!

I don't think people looked that deep and Gabriel has that musical style that doesn't always resonate with people. It's either love or hate. I liked it and voted for it but some of his songs I couldn't get a feel for.

Some of Gabriel's songs took time for me to appreciate.

Ooh I'd never heard of this version before, nom it one day so we can find out if it's indeed controversial.

I don't mind the billies at all. Long song and not to everyone's taste.
Just thought it was worth sharing what the song is about in case some don't know.

Song Contest Update -

So far there's 16 songs nommed with 6 returning entrants and possibly a debutant.

What's amazing is there hasn't been the same sub-genre nommed yet (yes there's some genre overlap). Therefore it's a virtual guarantee there's something you will enjoy... but also a virtual guarantee you won't like something as well . Suffice to say I'm pleasantly surprised by the diversity!
