Great shout on Arkells, cracking band. Saw them supporting Frank Turner a few years ago

Kolido

Not heard any of these before.


Eminem - Headlights - Yay, big fan of his early stuff, this is ok I guess

Kendrick Lamar - Alright - Nay, sorry but this is muck

Disturbed - The Sound of Silence - Yay, these dudes seems to turn up in every contest, not really fan of them or this song, but I think they did a good version of a song I don't like here.

Snow Patrol - This Isn't Everything You Are - Nay, again, like their early stuff, this isn't great

Jay-Z featuring Justin Timberlake - Holy Grail - Nay, more muck

Scouting For Girls - This Ain't a Love Song - Yay, find of the contest so far for me, not really a fan of them but I like this catchy little tune.

bogman_bass

Eminem - Headlights nope

Disturbed - I think this should be disqualified since it’s a (bad) cover of a 1960’s song

same votes please!

the purple tin

Nay em all.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Eminem ; Nay
this is easily the worst song I've heard from him

Kendrick Lamar ; Nay
he's just started growing on me, liked the few tracks of his I heard, but not this one

Disturbed ; Nay
like it, but it feels like it has appeared in loads of tournaments and walruses recently so law of diminishing returns may be in effect. I also don't want to see a '60s cover song win greatest song of the 2010s competition.

Snow Patrol ; Yay
was gonna vote against it as its far from the best Snow Patrol song, then it grew on me and I was on the fence, but after listening to all 6 songs I listened to this one again and jumped over to the positive side of the fence, my negative feelings of the other songs potentially giving this a boost it would've not gotten amidst other groups we've seen.

Jay-Z & Justim Timberlake ; Nay
like the Smells Like Teen Spirit hook, but the rest of the song didn't grab me

Scouting For Girls ; Nay
Vaguely recall these guys having at least one pretty decent song, but based on the two that have appeared so far, I might be thinking of a different band (a better band), because after two songs I've written these lads off



tldr version ;
Yay to Snow Patrol
Nay to everything else
