[little graham]

I posted who made who last nite. edgie must be into shania twain at the moment.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I thought about nomming Bowie BUT thought the backlash would be too great and that would hurt my feelings.

 

[Bet on Blue]

Boted. Very good list that.

 

[little graham]

I'm a bit of a rebel, i voted for Bowie.

 

[Loonerty]

Doesn't say it on this video but the actual title is "A Punchup at a Wedding." (No no no no no no no no.)

 

[Marklar_33]

could an argument for this bin made?

Probably not because no two words in the title are the same...

 

[edgie]

I posted who made who last nite. edgie must be into shania twain at the moment.

I nom'd Who Made Who for robots round.

I should have nom'd this for this round. Think I'm ready to take the reigns from Axl.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Haven't listened to the playlist yet but just by looking at it I reckon it will be hard to narrow it down to 5 songs to vote for, a few songs will be unlucky.

When they were coming in its thought it wasn't going to be a great list. Really enjoyed the list when I played it though.

Yeah there weren't many bad songs in it. I reckon the Billy will go to an undeserving song again.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Agree with everyone on the quality of the list. I'm struggling to narrow it down to 5 as well as picking a Billy. Whoever gets it will be very stiff.

 

[Plugger35]

Another song I considered nomming.



The Mixed Up version is even better.



Mixed Up is one of only 2 CDs I've bought twice because it got lost or broken, Tool's Aenima is the other one, you know it's a good CD if you buy it twice.

Amateur. I've lost count of how many copies of Dark Side Of The Moon I've bought.

 

[Plugger35]

Amateur. I've lost count of how many copies of Dark Side Of The Moon I've bought.

Well I've actually bought Tool's Aenima 3 times, all in different continents.

Bought my first copy here in Perth when it came out. Lost it when I was travelling in the States so bought another copy in a San Diego music store from some dude that was a Tool fan and said "great choice man, awesome album" and I was like "yeah I know I already bought it a few years ago".

Then when I was living in London I came home late one night to find my Aenima CD broken, my housemates tried to pretend it was an accident but I knew they did it, it might have had something to do with me and a mate of mine who was a Tool fan always coming home drunk and blasting that CD on the stereo till all hours. So I had to buy another copy there which wasn't easy as Tool aren't that popular in the UK, I went to a Tool gig in London and it was mostly Aussies, Kiwis and Yanks.

It might come as a surprise that Aenima is my favourite album of all time considering I've only nommed a Tool song once and I don't like metal that much.

It's a bloody amazing album though, on another level to any other album I've heard apart from OK Computer which is my 2nd favourite album of all time.

 

[Chaisa]

Boted. Early for me but I'm out all Sunday and Monday would be too much of a rush.

Great round btw, best in a while.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

One song currently sits out by 5, it's only received 4s and 5s to date. 10 other songs are within two votes for second.

Half the votes are in.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Post-round update (145), brought to you by Chappyuk "Depreston? This song contest is depressing, * you all"

Two encouragement awards (from the same poster) but first...

• As already alluded to, ChappyUK gets his 4th Billy of the contest, 2 of which have also been top 10 finishes which makes him the #bestbillywinnerever
• Van_Dyke where art thou? His 78 contest streak came to an end due to an absence from BF. With the presence of Powderfinger in this contest, he may have returned though.
• Allikat's return to the contest lands her a moral victory! That takes her tally to 9 which seems a bit low given she's been in 75 contests but 5 of those have been wins
• the fly got his 12th podium and is chasing a threepeat this rounds. Something CakeEater failed to do as he flopped by going from 3rd to 25th

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

edgie STILL can't crack 2000 votes. The 3 votes for his nom takes his tally to 1998 votes in total, just 2 shy of the milestone. Did he put one in here this round? If he did, surely this is the round he cracks it? If he didn't, next round. All he needs is 2 votes. Just 2.

To the awards!

The drought is over! Hard Ball Get gets his first podium in 37 rounds and his 1st victory in 77 rounds! Given the drought, it would seem he hasn't seen too many podiums and wins but that was his 32nd and 8th podium respectively. He was dominant in the early stages of the contest but they dried up considerably as he sought musical integrity instead.

I'll be back. Couldn't guarantee I was able to vote for the first contest I missed, then was too late for this one.

At my current rate I could nominate some early 90s alt or perhaps some 80s indie new wave, even some 70s rock (not the AC/DC kind) and still not garner enough botes!

 

[Loonerty]

Great playlist.

 

[Smeg Head]

Great playlist.

Considering the seemingly universal praise its getting, Im going to take a stab that its not to my liking.

Yeah, it's not in our shared interest part of the venn diagram haha

 

[Smeg Head]

Yeah, it's not in our shared interest part of the venn diagram haha

Funny you would say this, was saying exactly the same thing to some mates last night that he and his gf have a small venn diagram overlap of shared musical taste.

 

[Smeg Head]

A bit of late breaking spam I guess.
