Song Contest Part XVI, Host: ???, Theme:???, Noms Due: ???

[Noobz0r]

I didn't actually expect you to say yes. I didn't prepare any themes. Uh...

Music made by machines
Flotsam round - rare gems you stumbled upon

As far as safer choices go, animal in song/artist title, or a galaxy theme could be interesting.

Flotsam is gold.

 

[Hoos]

Dreamy vocals and a washed out melody from a revered group? Winner every time.

Exactly.

 

[SSwans2011]

Found it pretty boring and seemed to drag on, I consider Chris Cornell one of the most overrated vocalists in music history though.

Post-grunge would probably be my absolute least favourite genre as well.

I'm a Chris Cornell fan, but agree regarding post-grunge. Awful genre from a largely awful time period for music.

Needs more autotune

 

[Plugger35]

I'm happy to say that it was never a chance for a vote from me.

It was never in the mix for me either, surprised it got so many votes, sounded pretty bland to me,

Flotsam round - rare gems you stumbled upon

In all seriousness, animal in song/artist title, or a galaxy theme could be interesting.

I like Flotsam, let's go with that. Noms due tomorrow 10pm AEDT.

Surely I can't stuff this up. Surely...

 

[Back One Out]

thanks for playing. I love you all

Thanks for hosting

The only genre that comes close for me is late 80s glam metal, can't stand that either.

 

[Loonerty]

So what's the idea of the theme

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

So what's the idea of the theme

Hidden gems that you've stumbled across, be it through Spotify, Bandcamp or any other means. Hidden gems is fairly subjective but I would say that the likes of Soundgarden, Beach House, Crowded House and RHCP are not what come to mind for this theme.

 

[Smeg Head]

5 - Mellow
4 - Misty Light
3 - Molotov
2 - Maybe Tomorrow
1 - Myth
BM - Moving the Goalposts

 

[SSwans2011]

So what's the idea of the theme

My idea was any largely unkown gems you happen to know about. Could be a random YouTube suggestion from an uknown afrobeat musician, could be a DJ Loonerty masterpiece, could be the high-school band you played in.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Btw Van_Dyke, given that this is somewhat similar to the Great Unknown theme a few years ago, Luke McPharlin is not a hidden gem.

Haysi Fantayzee?

Fair enough. Everybody can't love everybody. Just don't tell Jackie Moon.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

[_Rake_]

Votes from me Loonerty, that woodblock/bell was orgasmic.

 

[Drunkgoliath]

Was there a theme? Or did I miss it

Shorts.

 

[ChappyUK]

I almost billied Melbourne Bitter just cos it is the Billy of beers.

I remember Weir getting 50 votes when it one. There's a huge bias towards 90s Australian rock in this contest.

I remember nomming Myth in the early rounds for * all.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I did think of a Best of 2019 theme but that should wait until after Christmas. You never know if Human Nature will release another Christmas album.

Would you billy West End Girls?

 

[ChappyUK]

Would you billy West End Girls?

I have to actually drink something to dislike it.

 

[_Rake_]

I remember nomming Myth in the early rounds for **** all.

* off. It's a 5 every time.

 

[Back One Out]

I consider Chris Cornell one of the most overrated vocalists in music history though.

You're welcome to your s**t opinions, but by any objective measure, Chris Cornell was a GREAT vocalist.

The guy could sing anything.

Just because you don't like something, that doesn't make it "overrated".
