If we get a bit of chat going on this later on I'd be interested to hear if any of the songs were new to people and if you discovered any new bands/songs that you will listen to in future

I promise not to get offended if you hated any of the tracks, even if it's the Pearl Jam one

There is one song in my picks that I had heard before and completely forgotten about. Thanks to your Surlaw I can't stop listening to it

Glad you rediscovered it look forward to finding out what it is during the reveal!

I've heard about half of these before but I couple of nice discoveries (and rediscoveries) too.

The interesting thing about this one is that I don't think there's an obvious or really predictable winner.

Tried to avoid any classics so it wouldn't be too predictable

So for the results of the host nation.

Anyone who has followed the 90s band thread Kolido ran will know my love of Pearl Jam so I don't think this is any shock. I tried to pick a song that some at least would be unfamiliar with a I think Porch is just a brilliant track

Incubus have some unreal songs and I have only gotten back into the lately but Megalomaniac would be my favourite track despite others being more famous.

Silversun Pickups I only discovered very recently and must say they are excellent. Very similar in sound to Smashing Pumpkins on some songs and this is a particularly good track.

At the end of Round 2 of the voting the scores are:

Song Score
Pearl Jam - Porch 22
Staind - So Far Away 22
Incubus - Megalomaniac 21
Avril Lavigne - Head Above Water 19
Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye 17
Stone Sour - Imperfect 14
JJ72 - October Swimmer 12
Blink 182 - Feeling This 12
Guster - Happier 9
Police - The King of Pain 8
Semisonic - Closing Time 8
Scott Stapp - The Great Divide 4
Tonic - You Wanted More 3
Bad Company - If You Needed Somebody 2
Blue October - Fear 1
Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine 0
Lisa Loeb - Stay 0
Seven Mary Three - Wait 0
Metallica - Hero of the Day 0
Silverchair - Tomorrow 0

Porch got top from me and second from S1ippy so that's 22

Look at the two scoreboards you posted - they're identical. You jumped the gun a bit on the first one and were already including my scores.

You are of course correct!

Apologies - I blame my spreadsheet
