    Smalltown Boy - Bronski Beat



    Lyrically it’s a very sad song, but is a lovely listen. I do like this one, a lot. Another that wouldn’t usually be my thing but I could see myself throwing this on and bopping away.

    Spooky. Never heard this song before but it came up on my playlist this morning out of nowhere.

    AND HERE IT IS AGAIN NOW. Lovely soft little tune.

    Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen



    The most amazing thing is that I havent listened to this since having the implant, sure I have heard it when I wasn’t deaf but I wouldn’t have had much appreciation for it. Its an absolute fantastic song to be experiencing for the “first time” I actually got a bit emotional listening to this one, as I know the song so well and the first time hearing it like this has been an experience in itself.

    The Beautiful People – Marilyn Manson



    I never thought id be saying this but, I like it, I mean really like it , Its such an amazing lyrical song, everything just falls into place. I do think that his voice can be a bit grating after a little while though but it doesn’t overly ruin the song for me, it just goes. Great choice

    All along the Watchtower – The Dave Matthews Band



    I’ve heard a few versions of this before and was a bit wary when I seen it on the list. It doesn’t disappoint though does it, watched on the Youtube video and they put on some show. The intrumental is immense. Great choice

    with Black Night - Deep Purple



    Love it! The guitar solo is immense, a sort of bluesy feel to a part of it. I could just listen to this over and over, I don’t even care what the lyrics are!

    with Black – Pearl Jam.



    The only song submitted that is already on my main playlist, one of the first Pearl Jam songs I listened to along with Just Breathe when going through my rehab, so a very good choice. This is probably the song that made me go “Yep, Pearl Jam are the ones for me!” Eddie’s voice I believe is hit and miss between listeners. I absolutely adore his voice, and could listen all day. I can really emphasise with the lyrics and the guitar solo at the end is brill.

    The Chain – Fleetwood Mac



    I have only listened to two Fleetwood mac songs before this “Everywhere” and “Landslide” both are on my playlist so I have high hopes. Oh that’s a nice start, they really do have great voices, really liking this, another for the playlist, It’s a very relaxing song, id listen to this all day.

    with The Way it is – Bruce Hornsby



    I love this song, such a flow to it and the singers voice is fabulous, I usually wouldn’t be a fan of this type of music, but yeah, its definitely one that I could listen over and over, in fact it has gone straight onto my main playlist.

    This was the first song submitted, a very very good start.

    My absolute favourite song... Why didn't I go for this?

    Well played Stu! I approve of your choice.

    Some great songs in general in this round.

    The Sound of Silence – Disturbed



    The first time I tried to listen to this there was a connection error to my bluetooth and I was literally getting silence for about 20 seconds before I realised it wasn’t part of the song. :pac: I love it though, its my favourite of this round, straight onto the main playlist, the singers voice is great and the lyrics are beautiful. Top choice! I’m afraid to search for Disturbed on spotify in case I ruin my thoughts on them :pac:

    Well done tusk! into an early lead :D

    some great songs so far.

    I'm glad you liked Smalltown Boy. Initially I was thinking of submitting it in the "lyrical beast" category, but the one I ended up choosing, though not a lyrical beast per se, really gives me a lot of emotions.

    The Beautiful People – Marilyn Manson

    I never thought id be saying this but, I like it, I mean really like it

    I think this is quote a common thing with Manson - the band's image, and his persona, give people a certain impression. People think they're just in it for shock, when they are (OK, were) an absolutely brilliant band, I love them. He always seems really sound in interviews too, actually very balanced and articulate. Delighted you liked that (even though it wasn't mine!)

    Quoted for truth. Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals & Holy Wood have some outstanding tracks on them.

    Yeah I was pleasantly surprised.. there was a good few on it that I enjoyed that I wouldnt even think of looking at initially,thinking that I probably would find them difficult. Its opened my eyes and my mind.

    Top 5, I'll take it. The song was the first rock song I ever heard and made me into the head banger I am today, it has such a chunky riff, love it and its still a regular on my playlist.

    Yeah, musically it is very very good, as I said in the post I didnt even care about the lyrics, I was into it straight from the start, they are good also though and when I got them out and put them alongside to listen, its brilliant.

    Been a while since I've watched Bowling for Columbine but I remember him being one of the few people featured in it who didn't come across as an absolute fúcking nutjob.

    Desperado – The Eagles



    I like the Eagles, generally like most of their music, and this is probably my Favourite of theirs, “And your losing it all your highs and lows, aint it funny how the feeling goes, away.. Desssperaddoo” yeah its fantastic, a good choice to hear for the first time. Fantastic singers

    If you've never heard the lesser known doolin dalton-Desperado reprise, please check it out.. One of their very best!

    I've been a huge fan of disturbed since I was a teen and their believe album became popular. They've another beautifully soft song called darkness worth a listen.

    I still remember the first time I heard sound of silence. I damn near cried. It gave me shivers and goosebumps and Spidey senses all at once.

    Glad you liked it! Although how could you not :)

    I'm just blown away with sKeith's choice...he's never let me see that side of him :(

    Delighted to see both Bruce Hornsby and Don Henley make it into this round, any fans might want to check out their collaboration on a song called 'End of the Innocence'. I can't link it here because the studio version isn't on Youtube (Henley is worse than Prince and Lars Ulrich for that) but it's on Spotify. In fact, the full album 'End of the Innocence' is arguably Henley's best.

    Great hosting from Trigger, love his Pearl Jam link in the OP too. However...'Like a Stone' down near the bottom of the rankings? I wasn't prepared for that triggering.

    Meh. It got 6 points, that's hardly last :D as I said, I had difficulty listening to it, tbh in a couple of months time that could be up the top for me, it's just where I am at the mo.

    Baba Yetu in the bottom 5 :(. My current feelings about this reveal.

    I jest though, it was a somewhat out there choice.
