Irish Aris

Thank you all very much for taking the time to participate.
And apologies again for the big delay in completing this!!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

A worthy winner, I was listening to the playlist again earlier, and I probably would've ranked Feel It Still a bit higher than I did at the time ; think I had heard it a bit too much prior to making my choices at the time so I knocked it down a few spots for being overplayed, but hadn't listened to it since then.

Great reveal Aris.

MM proving to be quite devisive, all or nothing!

Kolido

A good winner. Skid Row was always going to top my list, a big fan of their debut album.

Thanks for the game Aris, a great reveal.

Reberetta

Cheers Irish Aris.

The winning song sounds like Please Mr. Postman, the only reason I gave it any points.

Mentioning Feel It Still and Please Mr. Postman together reminds me of this mash-up which includes both songs...

Thanks Aris!! I love Feel it Still and you introduced me to Savoir Faire

Electric Nitwit

Good job Aris, thanks for running and introducing me to some new stuff.

I'm gonna have to retrospectively take back the points I gave Brandon Flowers though - I did like that song but I got a haircut before Christmas and they were playing him/Killers all the way through and it reminded me how much I hate his voice. :mad:

I like some of his stuff but that particular song never did much for me.

Bora York continue to be on top, but with 2 consecutive 12 points, Marilyn Manson gets into the top-3.
When it came to selecting a Manson song I was between what I chose and this one which is also one of my favourites of his:

That is my favourite Marilyn Manson song, a great selection of songs in this surlaw so fair play to you aris. The winning song is a worthy winner too

I hope that OneRepublic song doesn't win it. Any of the other options would be worthy, but Something I Need is easily my least favourite song of the twenty.

I had forgot my votes Ryan Tedder is very talented though

Thank you Irish Aris

This surlaw introduced me to Conan Gray and I have since been obsessed with his album so delighted I entered. Great reveal Aris!
