And in triplicate.

[Restricted Free Agent]

Heh, I actually tried nomming this, but it had already won.

We have a similar taste in music...

When Weezer break-up, they'll become known as Wheezed.

5. Aqualung - A prog rock classic.

4. September Gurls - My main gripe with this is how girls is spelled. Otherwise, quintessential jangle pop.

3. I Wanna Be Everybody - Loonerty's right, the riff is similar due to the lyrics about teens having identity crisis. Far more laid back than their other stuff, nice guitars.

2. What You Gonna Do - Nice Blues jam. I do agree that it's a couple of minutes too long though.

1. No Rest For the Wicked - The fusion of drum and bass with the Indian vocals works surprisingly well especially given it's two styles of music I don't generally listen to. Again, a bit too long.

Billy: Help - Gross

Drown - Hidden early Pumpkins gem. I agree about the distortion in the last few minutes, spoils what is otherwise a great song.
Kids - Overplayed and I've already podiumed with which is why I left it out.
The Other Guy - Pretty bad
The Man Who Sold the World - Meh
Prisencolinesnsinainciusol - I'm not quite sure what this is
The Greatest Man That Ever Lived - Very average
Inner City Blues - Not his best work
How to Save a Life - A bit whiny
In the Heat of the Night - Very catchy but very dated
Hemidalsgate Like A Promethean Curse - Ok then...
Stayin' Alive - Streetwalker. It's a classic but that falsetto can get grating
Leave - Not a fan of REM and that siren that kicks in after a minute does nothing to help

 

[Back One Out]

I'm all out of novel theme ideas, so we'll go with something easy

It's a redux, but one we haven't had in ages...

New theme: Questions [redux]

• Song title must be framed as a question.
• It doesn't matter if there is no question mark. Songwriters are s**t at punctuation anyway.

• No previous winners
• No songs from the previous 50 rounds

Noms due by Monday 9pm (roo2macca, please update thread title)

Wall to wall whores there.

I nommed REM for that round too.

 

[ChappyUK]

Good redux. Original theme was a great idea.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Now THIS is a theme that should be reduxed.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Wall to wall whores there.

I nommed REM for that round too.

That was commonplace in the early days of the contest, there's a shitload more variety now which is why, nomwise, it's better.

 

[Back One Out]

What do you mean wtf Back One Out , a herd is the correct collective noun I believe.

Just wasn't sure what you were driving at.

I'm 98% certain it's a burn, but I've got no ideer what you meant

 

[Smeg Head]

That was commonplace in the early days of the contest, there's a shitload more variety now which is why, nomwise, it's better.

Probably why I always did so poorly.

 

[RelaxMax]

I liked reading the reasons

You lot are brutal

Bravo!

 

[Hoos]

Bravo!

It makes me want to give a reason for every song I bote for or not.

 

[RelaxMax]

It makes me want to give a reason for every song I bote for or not.

Please don't fellow Bruncher

Novelty factor and all that jazz

 

[NaturalDisaster]

My favourite part was when Smeg Head bagged a song he has nommed before.
