    This is another one that I didn't hate but didn't love and yeah made me laugh a bit. Again though, not something I can see myself playing too often.

    I love the sense of style in this video though :D

    The next song is a song I like by a band I usually enjoy but this wouldn't be a favourite tune. I liked the invoking of the grandparents rule but despite that, other songs appealed to me more.

    Continuing a theme of taking songs I like by bands I like and giving them a not-super-high score is possibly one of the ultimate hometown songs. I really like the band and it's a great song but - as with some other songs that haven't done as well - it is massively overplayed.

    More than fair. I thought I'd be last for breaking the trade descriptions act, and I wouldn't have complained.

    The next song was a slow burner for me. I don't think it's the greatest song ever written and the production values need some work... :pac:
    The more I listened, the more I enjoyed it though and as my major aim with this was to expand my listening beyond my usual stuff it definitely did that.

    Next up was an another act I'd never heard of. I really liked the opening of the song, it's nice and upbeat. It got a little repetitive but it is a catchy tune from an artist I'd probably like to hear more of.

    12th place goes to a cracker of a tune. I'll confess after listening to this one I went down the rabbit hole of trad songs and may have ended up making myself a wee bit sad listening to Luke Kelly doing Scorn Not His Simplicity. This song however is much cheerier - if cheery is the right word for talking about red light districts :pac:



    Cheers to

    for the hours I spent on YouTube after listening to this one. 12th place gets you 9 points.

    I loved this next artists voice and I loved the melody. There was something I didn't warm to which is why it's further down the list that I'd have expected. A solid tune in 11th place.

    I probably should have picked another of Thom's he had some crackers - but I went for one of his most recent. He might be better know as a songwriter than performer as he's penned some hits for Mary Black etc. I did know him, he was a very beautiful man and supremely talented.
