    Holding on to the lead this early in the game is much harder than making a comeback towards the end...

    This round was a spur of the moment idea that I decided had to be included. Trouble was I already had 9 categories – and hence the 10 category Walrus was born :P


    It’s also the first category where we have duplicate entries – 2 in fact! A sample of a few songs I was thinking of when I came up with this:

    Format here: Bottom track scores 3 points as we have 2 dupe entries. I’ll reveal 19th to 4th as per usual…. Let the top/bottom crew sweat it out – will a dupe feature in either top or bottom pile???

    In 19th Place, scoring 6 points:

    Deja Boo



    Pink - Me & Bobby Magee



    We’ll have to wait for another Walrus for Pink to do well folks. This one just doesn’t resonate with me, and while I like Pink’s more upbeat stuff and absolutely loved her live… well here we are with this track.

    Not to worry Shane, many of my choices are off the beaten track, so I don't think I will stay long up high.
    Round 3 will probably be the start, I picked a song that is rather low tempo and I don't think it fits Necro's style.

    Linkin Park - She Couldn't







    It’s another case of love the band, not a fan of the track here unfortunately as the Walrus Wizard doesn’t manage to weave his magic in this round. I take it this is stuff recorded in their early days and released after Chester’s death? Yeah, just did nothing for me sorry to say.

    Strange that this ends up so low as I am typically a QOTSA fan – let’s blame Bob Dylan for that :P Again I just didn’t get anything from this.

    A CONFESSION

    Yours truly, Reberetta, forgot that the 21st century began on Jan 1st 2001, and submitted a song which was released Sept. 2000. I apologise in advance and hope we can look past this technicality when it receives maximum points due to its inevitable finish in first position.

    If it finishes last however, I think we should re-evaluate this error, and permit an allowance for me to submit something else in order to make up for the innocent mistake and the unfair advantage other competitors gain from it.

    Tina Turner, Kygo - What's Love Got to Do with It




    Admittedly I winced when I saw this one initially, we had a Kygo remix in my previous Walrus that I absolutely savaged (Green entered it I think). Thankfully, they haven’t altered this one so much and I don’t have to do it again :P

    Seven Bridge Road (Live) – The Eagles



    Yep… recurring theme I think… just can’t put my finger on it! This one didn’t really resonate with me that much if I’m honest. It’s alright, and I'd prefer it to the songs prior but I think that’s about the best I can say for it.

    Boy & Bear - Fall at your feet



    The entrant seems to be a fan of these lads, I seem to recall him entering them into previous Walruses. This one was a nice track, if a bit slow for my own tastes to give it a higher ranking.

    Make You Feel My Love - Adele



    Adele is normally a huge hit with me, and would easily top the pile… unfortunately for you both, it’s my least favourite song of hers. Her voice is almost unrivalled in the modern day imo, but this track is just so slow and sombre it’s a bit sleep inducing. Still a good song, but here would be about right for it imo.

    Ahhhh Gwen. Old No Doubt tracks are great, new No Doubt tracks… erm. Not so much. Still, this poppy upbeat number is enough to bag this entrant 14 points.

    Think I forgot we could submit covers for this... Bringing an Original Track (salvaged from the cutting room floor 20 years later) to a Covers of Fan Favourites Battle is like bringing a Gun to a Drone fight...

    Smashing Pumpkins – Let Me Give The World To You


    This is a dangerous band to enter, because I find some (NOT ALL) of the Smashing Pumpkins stuff borders on sleep inducing. There are elements in this, the dreary guitars and Corgan’s tone however I definitely enjoyed this much more than I expected.
