    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.

    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!)

    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.

    Here Trig, 9 points is Not Enough, so start over and bump me up the list a bit... ;)

    Just kidding, in any other Walrus 9 points would have you up top of the table, with 23 players though, this is gonna be a weird one. Fair f**ks for taking on 115 songs

    This was the toughest category for me in any Walrus, as I breathe music, so struggled to imagine not being able to listen to it. Think I just went with Our Lady Peace as I remember discovering them as a teen and just listening to their entire discography non-stop for about three months straight. Only went with Not Enough as its the first song of theirs I heard, but they do have better stuff

    Absolutely cracking song - Big fan of it.

    Happy with 3rd place - when I opened the reveal and saw a Pearl Jam song I hoped I would do well!

    No shame in coming behind sound of silence though. Couldn't believe how good that cover was when I heard it first.

    If you want other lighter Disturbed stuff they have a song Hold on to Memories - it's no where near the quality of Sound of Silence but not like some of their heavier stuff. I also like their cover of Land of Confusion too

    How dare you take my podium spot :( Me here organising the open-top bus parade, a slot on the Late Late Show, a brand ambassador role with Galtee cheese...and you just swoon in here willy nilly and try to Russian me out of the medal places.

    :D

    Seriously though, it was a pleasant coincidence, the songs which finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th in this round are all very special to me.

    Don’t get me wrong here, I love this song and the story it tells, I have just heard this so much (Father in law plays The Dubliners/Luke Kelly all the time) and its come to an oh god not again point. I just don’t enjoy listening to it as much anymore.

    One thing i will say here, there was no song that i disliked in this round, i really enjoyed listening to them all. Trying to place these was 10 times harder than the first round, and no song really deserved a low amount of points, i was tempted to give points from 10 - 33 in this round but decided against it

    In 18th place with 6 points is
    Gru
    with Jeff Buckely - Last Goodbye



    I’ve heard this before, it has come up along with Hallelujah on random playlists I listen to on spotify, that probably brought it down a bit in the scoring. It’s a lovely choice, I mean, who hasn’t suffered a gut wrenching break up

    In 17th place with 7 points is
    PhatKev
    with Damien Dempsey - Chris and Stevie



    I don’t like Damien Dempsey being honest, this song is a bit mad but absolutely heartbreaking also, and its pretty much him putting his emotions into a song, with lyrics that hit very close to home for me, so that has bumped it up the list a bit.

    Never heard this before so when it first came on I was like WTF is this, but by the end of the song I was singing away to it. It really grew on me and a lovely story inside it. Just not strong enough to place it higher up the table. I love it though! Thanks for this one

    I didn’t like this the first time I listened to it, but after a few more listens, I grew on me, a lot, after the first listen this was in the bottom 2. I do like it now though and wouldn’t turn it off if it came on.

    I love this song, it’s one of those that I knew well but havent heard with the implant before this, so listening with a new appreciation. This could easily have been chosen for the first round and I think it would have placed a bit higher in that one, its just up against some lovely tracks here.

    with Joshua Kadison - "Begging For Grace (Dragonfly Wings)"



    I had a provisional list made after the first couple of listens on spotify and this was in last place because I hadnt listened to it as its not on spotify, when I got the chance to listen on youtube, it shot up the table, it’s beautifully written and I really like the singers voice.

    Submitter mentioned in his PM to me that he tried to tailor his selections to what I like from the first sign up post, he did not disappoint with this one, this is exactly the type of music I like. That piano beat is amazing, Lyrically fantastic, I was disappointed that it is only in 7th but I think it is the right decision

The story it tells is amazing, really highlights the plight around the American Indians. Throwing that together with Elton Johns voice. Yeah its fantastic. Love it and would be one I could listen to again and again
