    Scouting For Girls - This Ain't A Love Song



    Have I listened to this artist before? Yes
    Have I listened to this song before? Yes

    The singer isn't great is he? Not impressed with the vocals here. Sounds like a b-side from The Script. Even the strings later on in the song aren't doing it for me.

    Used to love the Wildhearts, haven't listened to them in ages :)

    The first album is an absolute classic. Pop melodies, causticly hillarious lyrics and crunching guitars. Still sounds great to my ears.

    The Cure - Friday I'm In Love

    Fantastic song and excellent karaoke material. If The Cure had more upbeat songs like this I'd be a big fan but they're few and far between.

    Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name



    Have I listened to this artist before? Yes
    Have I listened to this song before? Yes

    A prime example of 80's rock. Those airy synths beginning at the 1:30 mark irk me, they don't belong in a rock song and this is why me and 80's rock will never get along. And what the hell is that solo at 2:28, the whammy bar effect made me violently ill. Bon Jovi give Rock a bad name.

    Could be worse Kol, you could be sitting here knowing a song in another category is going to do terribly.

    Didn't like anything about this, sorry. Haven't a clue what the singer is saying. Lots of distortion and screaming. It sounds like some loose spoons and forks in a washing machine at parts. Not for me.

    Thank heavens for small mercies... :D

    Can't fault your top spot actually, and Friday I'm In Love is one of the few Cure songs I actually like, so I may have over-reacted a bit there to the auld Top 5... ;)

    Ha, I thought it would be a load of heart-string tuggers so I wanted to choose something to cut through the treacle.
    Listening to these guys a good bit lately on YT.

    80s industrial/synthwave from former Yugoslavia. They really grow on you :)

    My third song is quite a scratchy song too. I don't feel so bad for submitting it now after yours :pac:

    Although, I doubt the host was too pleased lol

    I know I have three absolutely amazing songs for this Walrus, but I also think I'll be in contention for the wooden spoon... :D
