Hot chip - Over and Over; used to love this song. It introduced me to the band. I happened to see them last week at a festival. I wasn't expecting much as I'd fallen out of favour with them but they blew me away. They hit a perfect combination of soft dancy music; the leads clean voice but can also turn on a harsher overdriven sound which I love. It completely reinvigorated this song and its been back on rotation. Lucky you!

I feel love - Donna Summer;

Nice shout.
*adds to running playlist*

Harder than you think - Public Enemy; Love a bit of horns. Chuck D's booming voice always gets me.

The Rocky Road to Dublin - Dropkick Murphys;

Not working for me. There's an element of "You had to be there" around punk and Irish folk imo. They try combine the two. The lead singer is just shouting. Tin whistle doesn't add anything.

Aww I like the Dropkicks

School - Supertramp; I was waiting for this song to grow on me. It never did unfortunately. Sounds like a Pink Floyd copy cat. Really gets going with the piano but feels a bit disjointed. Still think a few more listens could have helped.

I like shipping out to boston... that's about it :pac:

Aerials - System of a Down; Some heavy metal gets through to me. System of a Down was one of those bands. Loved this whole album. The lead singer can actually sing and doesn't go for that visceral scream at any point. Excellent if you gotta dig deep towards the end of a race. That over driven guitar really does it for me in those situations. I have no idea what the song is about. The sitar gives a funky mystical vibe to it towards the end.

Red Moon Slide - Nitrous Oxide; Under certain circumstances I might enjoy this song, but its the kind of song I imagine is blaring in a gym. Its the reason why I have massive headphones to drown out their own songs. It really gets going in the middle though with the synth. First two minutes is a slog then it eases up a bit. Has really grown on me after repeated listens. It could do without the constant UNCE UNCE UNCE though

King Kunta - Kendrick Lamar; Love this song. I found it really hard to get into Kendrick. I still do. But this song got through to me straight away. That baseline from the start. So many random elements get thrown in throughout. I'm utterly perplexed how a song like this is created. There's a sound in the first quarter that sounds like a dog panting. Big electric guitar solo at the end. Yet it all works. We want the funk.

It was so much easier to listen to that in work rather than the music videos :pac:

Thanks Partyjungle - Supertramp are one of my favourite all time, ever - School didn't do it for you - I suppose it's not an exercise track - speedy reveal - another great line-up of tracks.
Well done Mr Kingsley for the top spot -

I totally agree I hate heavy metal where the singer screeches but I love it when the singer is good

Actually it was used for the London Paralympics, and is still used as the theme music for The Last Leg, which started as a show covering the Paralympics.

I've got a better idea for future reveals. I'll have it set up and ready to go; then reveal them all during the day while in work. All I'll be doing is copying and pasting. Better for you guys over a longer period?

Missed this but landed higher than I expected with Titanium!

I've no idea what to expect Partyjungle - I can't wait for the computer game category.

Some cracking tunes there, can't wait to get a chance to listen to them all.

Works for me! I've got a pile of meetings over the next few days so might miss a good bit of reveals however they're done, but if they're stretched out longer I might be able to drop in and out. Whatever works for you though!

An idea i had and i dont know if it works would be to release the play list the day before the reveal and give everyone a chance to listen to all songs before the reveal but no placings or names.

I don't think it'd ruin the suspense, curious what others think though

Might work, I find it hard enough to listen to all the songs during a live reveal anyways keep having to skip them and come back to em so would be kinda cool.

If you were releasing a YouTube playlist as an example you could just compile them in order submitted that way it doesn't reveal anything.

I think it's great what you're doing - somedays will be busier than others - and we can all.have a few days to check over and listen back.- that's always hard to do in reveal mode unless you already know the track well, anyway. Whichever suits you Party.

I LOVE Supertramp (you and I seem to have similar tastes ) but I'd not have called it a work-out song.

Rikand

I don't even notice the unce in my preferred music category anymore, im all about the melodies. Either way, that's still perfect music for me to get into the zone for a workout. Completely shut out the world. I also listen to it when on a plane. Just makes the flight go so much faster. 7 tracks and you know your an hour in!

Hoping to get half of these out today and finish it off in the morning. Apologise, I've been listening. Just haven't got around to ordering.
