The problem with these best of rounds is that too many people aren't willing to explore and just nom either shit they've heard on the radio or has-beens. Aside from the ones Loons mentioned, Bob Dylan? Seriously?
To be fair most new music is shit.

There was one or two songs I really like that I was ready to nominate but it was a case of why bother.

New music from has beens is almost always shit. Some people just can’t let go of the past.
My song is from a band that has been around since the 90s but it's definitely not shit.

it's better than most songs in that playlist but I'm not expecting many votes as they aren't a trendy modern band or a well known old timer like Bob Dylan.

I actually didn't listen to my nom. As I was in sa and as I never listen to music I just googled songs picked out two and the first was taken - didn't even listen to if to see how good it otherwise if was.

QOTSA are pretty well known and pretty trendy.

Around since the 90s is fine, I'm talking artists in their 70s-80s still trying to make music when they should be in retirement homes.

A 14 minute song and an 11 minute song? I don't care how good those songs may be, that's just taking the piss.
I actually didn't mind the 11 minute one! The 14 min one however....

He might be well known, but I feel like the only one out there who dislikes his music .... *hides*

You missed in the last thread where I repeatedly called him a campaigner. Massively overrated.

I'm not a big fan of Bob Dylan either, I like a few of his songs but find a lot of his stuff pretty dull, give me Neil Young over him anyday.

Glad it's not just me. It wasn't music I grew up listening to, but also haven't wanted to listen to as an adult anyway.

I'm finding this playlist very... blah. I'm going to struggle finding a five let alone a billy. I'm only at 17/33 so there's still hope yet....
