[CakeEater]

[CakeEater]

Theme royboy2

 

[Chaisa]

5) Losing My Religion
4) Discovering Japan
3) Doing The Right Thing
2) Who Sold Her Out
1) The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret

BM: Givin' Up

Again pretty tough. Billy had a couple of other contenders but this one annoyed me the most. And 4-1 could've competed with 5 other songs.

TBH I was tempted to not give my 5 to REM because of how much of a whore it was but given that it hadn't won/podiumed before, meh. (plus it was comfortably the best song there)

 

[Loonerty]

Oh for *s sake

 

[LiterallyNobody]

I almost gave votes to rem because I really do like that song but in the end I was able to find some other songs that were decent enough to warrant votes over it.

5 - giving up
4 - the list art of keeping a secret
3 - don't wanna lose
2 - lost in the supermarket.
1 - the song that was supposed To apparently win the billy - lol Roo2macca. Stfu you idiot. That was a good song.

 

[Plugger35]

Not surprised Losing My Religion won, it may be a bote whore and got flogged to death on radio but still a great song all the same.

Thought that Badloves song deserved better, got my 5 botes.

5. Lost
4. Losing My Religion
3. The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret
2. Stolen Dance
1. Lost And Running

Billy - Givin' Up (The Darkness are almost autobilly material for me, horrendous band)

Good nom, Plugger. Got my 5. Love that song.

Good nom, roo2macca (you flog). Billy Madison, my arse. Great track. 4 votes from me.

Cheers

I'm a big fan of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, surprisingly I'm the only one to nom them so far, I took their virginity a few rounds ago with Rattlesnakes.

 

[Smeg Head]

Oh for ****s sake

At least you didn't cop any billies from disgusting soulless cretins.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Harsh harsh billy. Was not even in my top ten for billies in fact could have gotten botes.

That playlist annoyed me. It wasn't bad; it wasn't great; it wasn't easy; it wasn't super hard but it was very samey. An enjoyable playlist if I didn't have to vote for the songs.

Anyway Royboy you shameless whore give us a new theme.

Yeah it was a harsh billy, the only reason I didn't give it botes was that I didn't think it fit the theme very well, was far from the worst song there.

 

[Smeg Head]

5 - Help Me Lose My Mind
4 - Stolen Dance
3 - Don't Wanna Lose
2 - Discovering Japan
1 - Losing My Religion
BM - After You've Gone

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Back One Out I agree. With a playlist it was hard to remember what songs were which so reading the results half the time it was like "which one was that?"

Btw marklar that's not a criticism of your decision to release with titles - just an observation; as a fellow father I appreciate the difficulty of doing things on your phone whilst contending with children.

Btw great song but I'm struggling to see how "doing the right thing" fit the theme? I missing something?

 

[Chaisa]

tbf, I feel like nomming the Whitlams is always a task fraught with danger; they seem to have a lot of people that dislike them.

And that song was very straightforward, most of their other songs have something more going for it composition wise.

 

[Bet on Blue]

5: Gone Daddy Gone
4: Steal My Kisses
3: Losing My Religion
2: Lost and Running
1: Lost in the Supermarket
B: Soon We'll Be Found

 

[Smeg Head]

Its in the lyrics and overall theme of the song, way to actually listen there.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

More like way to read. I thought it was only the title.

 

[Plugger35]

Bloody royboy2 bote whores and then isn't around to pick a new theme #worsthostever

Don't know why they cop so much hate. I've seen The Whitlams live a couple of times, they put on a great show, good band.

 

[Smeg Head]

You could be right, it was late when I nommed and I looked at the thread title.

 

[Marklar_33]

I'm never too strict with noms. Going with titles is easy but if a nom can be explained to me why it fits then I'm happy to allow it

Your first theme since I joined (full names) gave me a lot of trouble. That and Allikat's exercise theme.

 

[Back One Out]

I hate his voice. It gives him a punchable head, if that makes any sense.

You should've been here for Gigantor's 80s clips with keytars and double-headed guitars. Chappy had to give 5 noms to people who were stuck and it would've been 6 had I been beaten to the punch with Whip It! That was the only song I was familiar with that fitted the theme.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Good nom, Plugger. Got my 5. Love that song.

Good nom, roo2macca (you flog). Billy Madison, my arse. Great track. 4 votes from me.

Nomming an electronic song in a round with no real Billywhores is always a tad risky. Pleasantly surprised that it podiumed but the genre isn't to everyone's taste.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Poor form from royboy2. Blatantly bote whores and yet isn't here to give us a theme.
