Walrus - Prepare to be Triggered - The Reveal

Trigger

At Long Last....

Bear in mind this will be a bit drawn out as work/life is currently hectic, The scores and places have been counted for the first category and i am hoping to get the first reveal done this weekend/early next week.

My current most played song is below which may or may not give ye an indication of how well you place

Firstly lets remind ourselves of the Categories:
1.Song you would like to hear again for the very first time

2.The lyrical beast
I'm a big fan of Lyrics that have meanings in songs, so I want you to give me a song that has given you an emotion through the words. This could be anger, joy, sadness or dispair, anything really.

3.Classic Rock Anthem/Ballad
I have progressed steadily through different genre's when rehabilitating starting with Acoustic songs. Rock and Indie Rock being my two favourite with my new Ear give me a Classic that will make me smile.

4. 00's club hits
This was the only form of music I could hear, albeit in nightclubs, I was big into the club scene from my late teens until my late twenties. Basically the whole of the Naughies. Give me your favourite club track during that time
Edit: Understandably plenty of people would not have experienced this scene, and while I would prefer the above, you can give me a your favourite song from the Naughties that you would dance to in an event/pub/gig something that gets you up from the table to the dancefloor. None of this dancing in front of the mirror stuff

5. Wildcard
Give me anything.. One piece of advice, Metal is a no-no and will instantly be marked down as I havent got the ability to listen to it at the moment

I suppose thats why music is so subjected, I did find it hard to listen properly, basically it didn't agree with the implant.

Might need some new batteries

Trigger

I will say, i did enjoy the majority of the songs in this round, but the top 4 have been some of my favourite in the whole walrus. with No1 reading in at 11/10 on the Triggometer.

I feel asleep before the reveal began.

Ah I like the Beasties but this tune gets so stuck in my head I cant help but enjoy it. In a maddening way.

Define how the Triggometer works. What scoring categories do you use.

Same! Thought I might have been pitching to the wrong audience with my choice and was dreading the wooden spoon. 11th place is as good as a podium finish for me here. Cheers Trig.

Trigger

Right, going to make a coffee and will then get cracking.

Its very complex, a little too complex for people to understand..

Ah no, I listen to each song at least 5 times. The first time is a straight up listen, then with the lyrics beside me, then again without to see how it find it again. Then I listen twice focusing on the music. Each time marking out of 10.. but its not a straight 1-10 could be 6.5 or 8.2 depending on different things, then I take the average of that

Trigger

So Here we go!

In 10th place scoring 14 pts is
