Kisschasy - Strings and Drums


0 votes, 1 billy


Cool environmental message and inoffensive in a musical sense — MWPP

Needs more Do-Do's and Woah-oh's as it's boring as batshit — Plugger35

It's a pretty basic song, but I love the chorus — por_please_ya

Fairly cheesy but still can’t help but like it — NinjaSwan

Trying hard to be a good song and not quite making it. — Hoos

Eh not too bad. In the top half for sure. Will it feature in votes? Slight chance. — Loonerty

Paint by numbers “punk” (using that term loosely) rock. Boring. — roo2macca

On the 5th January we drove a semi trailer of equipment, a catering bus, and band trailers to the forest. We then ran a few petrol fuelled generators to everything. We then danced around trampling the local ecosystem and scaring away wildlife with our music, just to show how to green we are and how we can conserve energy. Well done us. — Chappyuk

Machine Head - Davidian

5 votes, 2 billies

Vocals and lyrics were Billy worthy but the instrumentals and Lemon being worse saved it — MWPP

Too much like death metal for my liking, the sort of shit that makes you wish you were dead — Plugger35

KILL IT WITH FIRE. — por_please_ya

How I wished this was even one tenth as good as anything from the Deep Purple album they share a name with. — Hoos

Hey, something I want to listen to less than Some of Adam's Blues. Good, that song didn't deserve a Billy vote. This one I'm okay with. — Loonerty

Not bad, but then the singing started. — roo2macca

The Mars Volta - Wax Simulacra

5 votes, 2 billies


The lyrics were interesting .... pity the style meant that I just could be appreciate them. So much noise. — MWPP

Millennial style hard rock that isn't every hard and is more just very dull — Plugger35

It's like Closure In Moscow took helium — por_please_ya

Sounded familiar despite having never heard it. Short, sharp and brunchy. — Hoos

Dunno. Music is really good but I really am not a fan of the vocals. It sounds very Chipmunky at times. — Loonerty

Is Wax Simulcara Latin for incoherent mess? — roo2macca

Pup - Free at Last


5 votes, 1 billy




The best thing about this was that it was short so that I didn’t have to wait long before being free at last — MWPP

If i wanted to listen to shouty punk rock I'd listen to Blink 182 rather than this shit — Plugger35

This was another headache — por_please_ya

When in doubt, turn the drums up way louder than anything else. Not too bad otherwise. — Hoos

Ooh I don't mind PUP. I thought they were Australian, was a bit surprised when someone said they're Canadian. — Loonerty

Listening to this makes me wish I was the guy in the canoe getting chomped on by a shark. — roo2macca

The Gap Band - You Dropped A Bomb On Me


6 votes



Vocals, video and lyrics were catchy but just missed out on votes from me because I got sick of the title chorus. — MWPP

Gazza dislikes this song. — Chappyuk

I wanted to drop a bomb on this song, the video was more interesting — Plugger35

The dilemma when the lyrics are terrible but the music is kinda cool — por_please_ya

One of those songs that you hear everywhere without ever seeking it out or hearing anything else by the band, was ok but don’t think I’d go looking for it again. — NinjaSwan

The black cowboy Village People tribute band. Have mercy! At least the clip made me laugh, although that's hardly a ringing endorsement. — Hoos

Snore. A bomb dropping now would end this sooner. — Loonerty

You Dropped a Bomb on Me? I wish I did. — roo2macca

The Bohicas - Swarm


9 votes




I felt like I was being attacked by a swarm of bees , and as I’m afraid of bees , it wasn’t a pleasant feeling — MWPP

Quite liked this little rock number with the drums and guitars making it buzz along — Plugger35

Sounds like a Loonerty song. That fast-paced guitar is like a swarm of bees but I kinda love it — por_please_ya

Nice song, liked the guitars especially in this. — NinjaSwan

It reminds me of someone else I like, just can't pin it. I like the drive to it — Elton Johns Wig

Not the best on here, but a long way from the worst. The riff does get a tad annoying. — Hoos

Feel the noize... don't sign to a label that names themselves after a Quiet Riot lyric. They're better than them but that's like saying bathing in lemon juice and razor blades is better than a roundhouse kick to the nuts. — roo2macca

Northeast Party House - The Haunted

9 votes



A tale of two songs. Really liked the first half but the second half had me reaching for the Panadol — MWPP

Sounds like the sort of song millennials would love and everyone else thinks is shit — Plugger35

My song. I remember first hearing that epic ending, the guitar riff is SO damn good and there's sirens and MAN I just want to RAVE! — por_please_ya

I’d forgotten about this band, remember liking them a couple years ago, decent song. — NinjaSwan

With any luck I'll be barred from their party. Monotonous and boring. — Hoos

Really enjoyed this one, like some of their stuff. — Loonerty

I have nothing to say about this which is reflective of the song. Just a whole lot of nothing. — roo2macca

Fastway - Far Far From Home

9 votes, 1 billy


Not even the “11” and the lyrics could earn it a relisten — MWPP

I've never heard of this band before and going by this song that's a good thing — Plugger35

…and here we have some generic rock n roll. Pass. — por_please_ya

Thought this was painfully generic, wasn’t like terrible or anything but even on some bad songs there are aspects I like but I there wasn’t really much I enjoyed here. — NinjaSwan

I hope they obtained Robert Plant's permission to use his voice. A passable stab at Zep. Falling well short despite the bang on vocals. — Hoos

Is this Robert Plant? *google* No it is not. It's alright. — Loonerty

I never knew Led Zeppelin rip-offs dated way back to the 80s. — roo2macca

Joan Armatrading - Drop the Pilot

10 votes, 2 billies


I found myself singing along. Lovely voice and unique lyrics. — MWPP

I liked this song back in the 80s but it's another one that hasn't aged well — Plugger35

Great voice! A song for MWPP. — por_please_ya

Catchy pop song with nonsensical lyrics. Didn't like it then and still don't. — Hoos

I mean it's fine. — Loonerty

Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual… what is this, 20 questions? — roo2macca

What an obnoxious piece of shit this song is. In any normal round this would be well in contention for the billy, but in a round with drum intro's as the theme what did you expect? Smell my perfume? Smell my billy campaigner — The Jesus
