BM: Crack The Shutters

 

[CakeEater]

5 - down in the flood - great track. The guitar solo at the end of this was tucking sick. Good to see el dub go from my billy to my five.
4 - dry the rain - loved the build up this had. Really enjoyable song. Started off a bit mellow but still intriguing.
3 - don’t work at yellow snow suite - frank zappa is just a crazy and eccentric bastard and I wouldn’t have him any other way.
2 - butterflies and hurricanes - one of the best tracks from the last decent muse album (bhar was “ok”)
1 - it never rains in Southern California - no idea why this one resonated with me so well but it was a really great song.

Hm - only happy when it rains (pretty sure I’ve voted for this before - great song but above were better)
Here comes the rain again (Annie Lennox. I mean. Need I say more? I love the strings in this)
Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses (great track even if it sounded a little mainstream)
Vaughan Monroe - Let it Snow (expected this to be my billy. But his beautiful baritone voice saved it. Was quite pleasant)
Snow Patrol - crack the shutters (surprisingly good song for this band I frankly don’t think much of)
Singing in the rain - impossible not to smile as you watch this dick head literally running around in the pouring rain.
Ccr - who’ll stop the rain (best of the whores. I can see this winning)
I can see clearly - I love this song. Though this version is ok it’s not as good as the cover. Yeah I said it. Fight me.

Dishonourable mentions - boring dull shit from something for Kate (sorry marklar), smashing pumpkins, bob Dylan (no shocker there), the tide is high (one of my least favourite blonde songs), Leonard Cohen(yeah he’s a dead campaigner - so what. I find him almost as dull as Dylan. Sue me)
Oh yeah and ******* Peter Gabriel who came so mother******* close to my billy. That song ate penis.
And a bunch of others.

Billy - the end of the rainbow (the second half of this playlist was awfully disappointing save for the above two I voted for but this was probably the most dull and unlikaeble song)

Teach me how to melt. Im horrendous at it.

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

5. Yellow Days - Gap In The Clouds
4. Frank Zappa - Don't Eat The Yellow Snow

I nommed it when I saw it was 4th place in the last weather themed round and changed it out of guilt for whoring.

I can only assume with this attitude that you are only happy when it rains?

5 Singing in the rain - 7th- Gene Kelly raskolnikov

I was so close to nominating it (and expected por_please_ya to, but she didn't even consider it ). A classic , and he has such a rich voice . Perfect for the theme . Was always going to get 5 from me . Deserved a podium .


4 Eurythmics - Here comes the rain again roo2macca - 4th - an easy choice for my 4 votes . I don't love the artist , but I liked this song enough to purchase it after the first listen . Well done on the moral podium .


3 Albert Hammond - It Never Rains in Southern California I Dont Care (22nd) - I was unfamiliar with this song but the moment I heard it knew it would get votes from me (it was just a matter of how many).


2 Peter Gabriel - Red Rain NaturalDisaster (21st)- I liked it even more on the second listen . Should've finished higher


1 Snow Patrol- Crack the shutters CakeEater (27th/ Billy)- so harsh! Deserved more votes and fewer billies


BM- Ulysses - Franz Ferdinand Loonerty (8th) - staggered that this atrocity got so many votes /just 2 billies . Dubious link to the theme too

 

[NaturalDisaster]

I liked "No rain"but it didn't deserve to win or even podium.
