spudmaster has been a legend. Keep forgetting to thank him with votes though.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Knew it. I reckon you've billied me more than anyone in the history of this thing.

You got my 5, only recently discovered this artist and liking what I hear.

Q: How are we supposed to know 'previous top 10 noms'? Are we expected to go through the results at the start of the thread, cuz that sounds like work.

 

[Stokey]

I thought it was funny. That song also had a good link with the Haircut and the lyrics being really closely connected. Wonder if Stokey made this deliberate

Every song that's ever been nommed is on the first post of the thread named "List of Previously Nominated Songs". With a CTRL+F search it's pretty easy to search but I'm sure Riviat will help if need be.

Also good to have you in the contest btw!

Man I guarantee my nom has never been nom'd before, don't need to search, don't know why I even asked sorry.

Cheers.

This sounds promising! I can't wait to hear whatever it is.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Someone help me.

This song previously won so not eligible this round, but the first first 30 seconds sounds incredibly familiar. Can someone tell me where I might have herad this in another song.

It's got the same strumming pattern. Almost identical

Unless I've heard it on tv, or or somewhere like that.

The ol' I V vi IV progression starting on the vi (Am) chord. Must be hundreds of songs that use that.

Passenger

Thats what ik talkin about. A song similar but has similar vocals too

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Somehow wound up on Kayo and they have the Tetris championships. The way they went on about hitting the kill screen made me laugh given the round.

It sounds like New Slang by The Shins. You might have heard it from Garden State.

Can you ask AI what his formula is and PM me? Also how it could be modified to 60s and 70s music. Ta

If you want to win, and that is your goal you need to start nomming mor familiar music. Especially more energetic. Your Nancy Sinatra song while nice was never going to attract enough votes.

I mentioned this a while back with your choices of Donovan and The Who. one of which I scored 2nd, and sokeone nommed and won with The Who.

Take The Church, The Cure REM etc. The familliar songs will always do well. The less familliar are hit and miss. I nommed a Cure song in December and got 10 votes.

Also if you do want to win, start mixing it uo. Most days your songs are obvious. But if you just want to nom stuff you like then dont change.

Further the SC generally gives votes to 80s and 90s bangers and songs in the 2010s.

Riviat wins mostly from building intensity prog rock songs with various arrangements..

YOu get on runs and then go cold. Think Riviat has 1/5 podiums but a lot of wins. Im about 1/5.2

EltonJohnswig had 1/4 podiums but looking at their list its mostly bangers
