[myblueroan]

Re Red Dress..Sarah reckons she sung off key on purpose to make a point..which is clever I guess.
Until you go looking for another song by her and it is also off key
I think we found the Raygun of the pop world.

 

[por_please_ya]

I still managed to nom a song released in the last month

 

[Stokey]

Ill end up doing the same. just need to see how far I can push the theme.

 

[raskolnikov]

Not really a Star Wars fan but nevertheless in. I did watch the original 3 as a kid but haven't seen any of the more recent ones.

 

[Stokey]

Vale James Earl Jones

 

[por_please_ya]

I instantly thought that one was yours and now I'm not sure why seeing youve only nommed them twice.

Yeah maybe it was just the genre and vibe of the song

 

[Purple7x08_24]

That was the tenth time I've nommed Van Morrison.

 

[Tonga Bob]

5) Lagwagon
4) Arcade Fire
3) Ball Park Music
2) Goodbye Meteor
1) The Orb

B) Scott Gairdner

Nobody picked what I nommed, no idea who voted for me, and nobody noticed that my nom comes from one of the cultest of cult classic films from the 90's. Ninja nomination!

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

My guesses FWIW:


Harp - LunchladyDoris

Kings of Convenience - Plugger35

I totally would nom that.

myblueroan nommed Harp - who coincidentally gave my nom the 5.

Maybe we are of similar tastes after all.

Here's a guide to help you guess what I nom if the guessing contest continues -

Total noms so far - 128

Genres -
13 - Indie
12 - Rock
11 - RnB/Funk, "World"
10 - Pop, Metal, Electronic
9 - Rap, Instrumental, Jazz
8 - Dance, Country, "Other".

Gender -
Female - 46
Male - 46
Mixed/Non-binary - 36

Countries nommed -
57 - USA
24 - UK
7 - Australia, Canada
5 - France
2 - Ireland, Germany, Japan, Italy, Russia
1 - Korea, Ukraine, Poland, Jamaica, Barbados, Columbia, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, China, Lithuania, New Zealand, Iran, Iceland, Ethiopia, Mexico, Benin, Puerto Rico, Indonesia

Decade -
2020's - 45
2010's - 36
2000's - 23
1990's - 11
1980's - 6
1970's - 4
1960's and before - 3

Song Length -
Less than 3 mins - 15
3 mins - 39
4 mins - 42
5 mins - 15
6 mins - 11
7+ mins - 6

Unique artists - 75

Repeated artists - 0 (although Timbaland has been a featured artist twice).

So my most likely nom would be a newly released, 4 minute Indie song from an American artist that hasn't been nommed before. Toss a coin for the gender (I'd probably be the only contestant with a 50/50 gender split though). It's a good chance a niche genre is mine too as I proportionately nom them more frequently than most contestants. On the flipside I am probably the least likely contestant to nom something Australian!

 

[Chipmunk]

[Ocha905]

I stand corrected! It seems the only Aussie you've nommed is Delta Goodrem.

I'll take 2nd place then

Im mostly 2010s, 90% original noms think about 40% original artists.
98% bangers

Im still confused about indie rock and pop. Hence the term ahoegaze, dream pop etc.


My genres are

Dark /Death Metal
Chilled / Ambient electronic
Moody Rock
Classical, piano and violin solo
Sax solos
Country

Other genres have some super tracks but far and few.

You're selling yourself short

I've nommed one song that had already been nommed ("Regulate" by Warren G) but that was in a round where we had to pick something that had already been nommed.

Can spot a few. The steps one is borderline billy bait / nostalgia.

Think I know Lunchlady Doris and Fossie.

Billy is sewn up

Arctic Monkeys is strangely good for me

 

[myblueroan]

Ok. Can we stop with the spewing gifs please?
