    @Rikand The Cranberries - Linger (Iain Cook Remix)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,401 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    Oooh lovely mix of songs there!

    On a quick flick I can see there are very few that I wouldn't vote for either because I wasn't that fond of, or just because of over familiarity.

    But then I'll feel bad for those few.

    Ahhh, I need to think - THE PRESSURE.. 😅

    ...I'll sort dinner then vote ☺️

    Some great tunes, Firestarter and Linger took me back to my youth disco days

    I love the judges.
    Great to put faces to the names after all these years 🤣 and to know that Necro is in fact Louis, Nothing is Nicole and ShaneU is actually Simon Cowell! 🤣

    Some seriously good songs in this category, though I knew most of them

    From the ones I didn't know:

    @SineadSpears - top marks for Kalandra, great new discovery for me

    @Sephiroth_dude - great instrumental selection, I need to listen to more Dream Theater

    From the ones I knew:

    @Tauriel - by far the most interesting selection

    @suvigirl - not my favourite Smashing Pumpkins song, but a great song nevertheless

    @Deja Boo - great blast from the past, haven't heard Paula Cole in years

    and of course

    @rainbowtrout - classic Depeche

    @StrawbsM - classic Prodigy

    @Leg End Reject - classic Midnight Oil

    Upcoming gigs and events: VNV Nation, Lord Of The Lost, Dry Cleaning, The Shawshank Redemption, These Charming Men, Sasha Velour, Disorder Festival, David Byrne, The Cure, Garbage, Bob The Drag Queen, Sigur Ros, Olafur Arnalds, Cabaret Voltaire, Cardinals

    @Irish Aris Wasn't sure about this at first. Didn't not like it, just wasn't sure. But after a few listens it's grown on me and i think it's cool.

    @jluv My fave of the round! - love Teddy Swims ❤️

    He's a bit overplayed atm but I don't care, I'm all here for it. Hadn't heard this song before so two thumbs up for that and the fact that I love the song too. (Side note: Rag 'n' Bone Man would wanna get his ass out of hiding before Teddy takes over)

    @StrawbsM Banger!! 😈

    When driving in my car, I like to test the kiddo's to see if they can name any old songs that come on. Only last week this came on, and to my HORROR… they couldn't name it 😱!

    As much as I love this song, I never noticed that I don't play the Prodigy enough in the house. I'm currently in the process of rectifying this 😜

    (Also, when it was on in the car, I had considered changing my 90's song to this but decided to just leave things as they were)

    Never heard of Teddy Swims before but that's a cracking tune I'd not heard before

    Glad to see my left field Offspring song is appreciated 🤣🤣🤣

    Absolutely loved kalandra, Keith urban and midnight oil. Midnight oil was the pick of the round for me. never heard it before and really reminded me of some kmfdm stuff. That Keith urban song really surprised me and kalandra, her voice and the drums.

    The famous songs don't need to be mentioned and I'm glad people liked that remix of linger. It's a bit of a chord change from the original and at first I was unsure of how he did the chorus but it's really grown on me and I love it now..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,401 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    I already forgot what I submitted, had to check..

    My No:1 song is from a band that is well known and probably one that a lot are sick of hearing, hehe.

    But it's a band that I've loved ever since they brought out the song I submitted. They take the tops spot as being my all time favourite band so I'll be happy to hear my song played.

    Anyone bored and wanna guess the band? 🤑

    (I won't reveal the answer but you'll get virtual points of awesomeness tomorrow if you guess correct)

    Ooh, intriguing... but very difficult to guess. I would think something rock-y...

    I think you are deeply dippy about Right Said Fred 😉😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 22,602 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    My no 1 song is like Marmite, but I love it.
