Tom Greens underated classic.

A 14 year old beakerjoe watched it with my 50 year old mother, unaware of Greens antics.

A very awkward movie night.

You all ready to find out whose musical taste sucks?

Ok, this is the animal round. Anything with a Rhino, Duck or Hippo are all fair game this round.

We kick off with 10th place and 10 points to ,

I like this sound. Nice vocals, esp the backing vocals, both blending well with the instrumental. The soft drums are pleasing, giving the song the “oomph” it needed after a calm intro. Its haunting, bring visions of a heartbreaking scene in a movie. The guitars hoit nicely at the finale, bring this track to a neat close. Very enjoyable.

You can't say all of that then give me tenth, that's cruel

If anyone hates Rocky or any of his cheeseball movies I will fight you. This iconic track has a great intro that builds to a belting riff that gets you ready for the fight. Yeah its a bit of a novelty track these days but its waaaay more listenable than it should be after all these years of being overplayed and its perfect workout montage music. A track I will always enjoy.

I’m sure I have heard this song before but can’t place where, but I 100 percent have heard it before.

A fun song, love the energy and it grows on you as you listen again.
Hard to not enjoy it, great melody and its got a nice zany sound to it. Its very infectious on repeated listens and really gets better the more you listen. Nice choice.

Coming at 12th place with a cosy 8 points, is....

Blackalicious - Swan Lake - submitted by Osh.

I am not a huge hip hop fan but I know what I like, and I like this for what it is despite it not being my cuppa tea.

I like the opening and its a got a nice old school feel to it, very Jurrassic 5 esque. Its nothing mind blowing, but the rhymes and lyrics are a beautiful example of smooth musical poetry. An easy listen, nothing to hate and I can appreciate it.

beakerjoe · 28-10-2020 2:56pm

12 points is earned by the person in 8th place, which is....

Gojira - Flying Whales, submitted by

Phatkev

Have I listened to this artist before? No

7 minutes of whale noise!!!!

Ok not quiet, a nice slow intro which maybe is a bit long for my taste as it doesn't really change gears during the intro. I do enjoy the drum work in the intro though, however the whale sounds add nothing for me. I don't mind a long intro, but it's all very samey for 3 minutes.

But when the intro is over, business picks up big time. Great stuff. Love the sound here, nice dirty rock. The shouty vocals are just the right amount of growling for me and overall it's an enjoyable track, not going to break the top tier of this round but it's a fine track that I can enjoy. The long intro did it no favors but what followed the intro more than makes up for it, edging it over those below.

Looking back at what I picked for this one, I may have made another error in judgement on this round...

A song with a horrible hook, it's so annoying it almost ruins the song. But annoying hook aside, it's a good track. Like the vocals and it has a very enjoyable beat. The chorus is very good and overall it's a good track but it could have been better if they had binned the annoying soundbite.

Smooth sound, nice vocals, poo poo hook.

David Bowie - Queen Bitch, submitted by

This may get me a lot of hate, but I never really liked Bowie. I like some of his tracks sure, but he never really appealed to me.

But I like this one, and it was a track that benefited from repeatedly listens, as I wasn't too keen at first.

It is an easy listen and it has got me nodding in sync with the melody. The lyrics are zany for sure "She's so swishy in her satin and tatt,
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat". Like it. Overall its a nicely paced track thats hard not to bop to.

14th place and 6 points, goes to.....

Ween - Mister, won't you help my pony? - submitted by

Arghus

Have I listened to this artist before? yes
Have I listened to this song before? No

Ah the lads from voodoo Lady fame. My first listen didn't do anything for me, but on repeated listens it grew on me. Whether it is my love of animals, but I gave the poor pony a chance and I grew to enjoy it for what it is. Its a simple song, the lyrics are cute if not a little sad, its not a bad track overall.

Repeated listens make me feel even more sympathetic to the pony…. Damn my heart strings. NO BJ, Be strong.

Ultimately Its a nice track, nothing to help it jump places in this round though.

A classic track, one I hadn’t heard of in a long while. An iconic, catchy chorus truly makes the song and wrapped around the chorus is a nice vocal harmony with cool lyrics. It sticks in your head and doesn't get old. Great choice.

Ive just worded it poorly,
