    That's a blast from the past!! Bamboleo is a great song, don't know about Ireland but very popular in Greece for a few years!!

    Hahaha it's such a good song though!! It tells the story of the band and they have such spirit :D

    God you just listen to the intro again, getting serious flashbacks:pac: first thing the intro reminded me off was some sort of 90's kids TV show. I didnt enjoy that first 20 seconds of it and you're still left with 6 MINUTES of it!!:p

    I've heard of Gipsy Kings but wouldn't have been able to tell you anything about them. Like phatkev I recognise bits of Bamboleo but I don't think I'd ever heard the full thing before tonight.

    Great tune, but it's no Morning Musume! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,150 ✭✭✭Gru


    I have to say i am shocked you haven't heard it, although i remembered it from a friends dad playing it a lot back in the old days, and now often hear it around world cups/in kids movies (Sing), so when it popped into my head i threw it in, i have to say i was getting very nervous towards the end result there. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Wait until Kev finds out that the Gipsy Kings aren't even Spanish!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭osh


    Also shocked that you have never heard that bamboleo song before :D

    It was a big enough song, though can't remember from what. Could have been football or something alright.

    This is better than the original, the kazoo solo really seals the deal.
    That Japanese song was excellent too. The lyrics were hilarious :D

    I'll get the 3rd round (Women in Music) results started in the next hour or so. This was probably the strongest round so far, I enjoyed listening to all the tracks this round and the ones that ended up at the bottom of the pile aren't there because I disliked them, but because they just didn't click with me as well as the other entries

    In 15th place Joan Jett & The Blackhearts- I Hate Myself For Loving You- submitted by
    Sawduck




    Have I heard the band: Yes

    Have I heard the song: No

    Thoughts: It’s a grand song but nothing that really pulls me in. "I love rock and roll" is the only Joan Jett song I’m familiar with and this sounds very familiar. She sure does love that drum beat

    In 14th place – Nightwish Planet Hell, submitted by
    FixXxer



    Have I heard the band: Yes

    Have I heard the song: No

    Thoughts: Nightwish are a band I’ve definitely heard of but wouldn’t be able to name a single song from them. Intro wouldn’t be out of place in a film score, there is a lot going on in this one! Always thought it was just a female vocalist in the band. Im really not sure whats going on with that keyboard solo, really not the sound you’d expect to hear in a metal song, sounds very difficult to play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    In 13th place - Pat Benatar - Hit me with your best shot - submitted by
    CJ Maxx




    Have I heard the band: Yes

    Have I heard the song: Yes

    Thoughts: This is instantly recognisable for me. Vocals are very good, but outside of one guitar solo the music just comes across as lacking that something special, gets a little repetitive after a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    In 12th place we have Kim Carnes – Bette Davis Eyes, submitted by
    Y0ssae1an22




    Have I heard the band: Yes

    Have I heard the song: Yes

    Thoughts: Like the Pat Benatar one, this is another instantly recognisable song. Very 80’s , love the synth melody that goes throughout the song. I also really like the husky sound of the vocals


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    In 11th place we have Marlena Shaw - Let's Wade in the Water - submitted by
    Osh




    Have I heard the band: No

    Have I heard the song: No

    Thoughts: Nice intro. Very Motown feel off of this one. Really like the piano track played throughout and the Brass accompaniment


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    In 10th place we have Daughter – Youth - submitted by
    Eletric Nitwit




    Have I heard the band: No

    Have I heard the song: No

    Thoughts: Vocals sound very familiar to me, but I don’t remember hearing this band before. Big fan of the music but I’m not 100% set on the vocals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    In 9th place we have Within Temptation - Covered By Roses - submitted by
    Mustang Shelly




    Have I heard the band: No

    Have I heard the song: No

    Thoughts: Great range on the vocals and really like the chorus. In my ignorance, this is what I thought Nightwish sounded like! Not big on the sampled bit at the end, there are some tracks that get this spot on but it just seems a bit pointless on this one.

    In 8th place Pink - I am Here - submitted by
    Gru




    Have I heard the band: Yes

    Have I heard the song: No

    Thoughts: I always enjoy Pink songs when I hear them, she’s got a great voice and knows how to write a catchy tune. Not a fan of the second part of the chorus, feel like it doesn’t really fit the song. Backing vocals/choir are class


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    In 7th place YONAKA - Teach Me To Fight - submitted by
    Also Starring LaVar Burton




    Have I heard the band: No

    Have I heard the song: No

    Thoughts: Nice energetic intro, followed by vocals that are full of attitude. Liking the chorus as well. I think some artist really over think songs, sometimes its refreshing to see a band have a nice short and to the point song


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    OOh a stealth reveal

    In 6th place - Siouxsie and the Banshees - Cities in Dust- submitted by
    Irish Aris




    Have I heard the band: Yes

    Have I heard the song: Yes

    Thoughts: As I said in the last round I was a big fan of new wave/post punk sound and Siouxsie and Banshees were right up the top of the list. Great voice, love when the drums come in. Like the breakdown as well.

    In 5th place - Beach House - 10 mile stereo - submitted by
    Homer J Fong




    Have I heard the band: No

    Have I heard the song: No

    Thoughts: Like the synth pop sound, vocals sound very familiar to First Aid Kit imo. Like that they’ve really pulled the vocals front and centre. The dynamics of the song are very interesting, they seem to have made the loud bits quiet and the soft bits a loud (that probably makes 0 sense, but I know what I’m trying to say). I would have liked the Antlers song you submitted in an earlier round to build the sound up in a similar way to how it was done here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Nice pick Homer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    In 4th place - Fiona Apple – Under the Table - submitted by
    S1ippy




    Have I heard the band: Yes

    Have I heard the song: No

    Thoughts: Never realised Fiona Apple had a new album out. Love the style of singing in this one, there’s an excellent choice of instruments in the piece, played by some very talented musicians. Love the sound from around 2:25 to 2:50. Have since listen to the new album and its very impressive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    So that leaves the podium places and the bottom 3. Players with their name yet to be called are Barney92, JP Liz V1, Lassykk, Rothko, ShaneU and The Purple Tin

    In 16th place Julie Jacklin - Don’t Know How to Keep Loving You - submitted by
    Rothko




    Have I heard the band: No

    Have I heard the song: No

    Thoughts: Enjoyed the vocals, but it got a little boring after a while. I think it got pushed a little further down the list because there wasn’t a whole lot going on and they could off have shaved a minute or 2 of the song.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    In 17th place - Lisa Leob – Stay -submitted by
    Lassykk




    Have I heard the band: Yes

    Have I heard the song: Yes

    Thoughts: Heard this in Lassykk’s surlaw for the first time, it didn’t get into my top 10 in that completion and its well outside the top 10 in this one as well. Very 90’s sounding. I wouldn’t turn it off if it came on the radio, but I wouldn’t be making it a priority to listen to any of her other music either.

    Ah well, not too bad

    It was reasonably big when it was out so you might have heard it before but obviously it didn't register :p

    Their debut album is beautiful, although if you didn't like this you probably won't love the rest either


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    In 3rd place - Bonnie Raitt - Angel From Montgomery - submitted by
    The Purple Tin




    Have I heard the band: No

    Have I heard the song: Yes

    Thoughts: Anything written by John Prine is going to score high in my books. Big fan of this Americana/bluegrass sound. Not usually a fan of talking but I feel it works really well on this track. Big fan of her voice. Great version of a great song


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    In 2nd place - Andra Day - Rise Up - submitted by
    Barney92




    Have I heard the band: No

    Have I heard the song: No

    Thoughts: This lady has some voice, sounds like a mix of Amy Winehouse, Adele and Ella Fitzgerald! I like how the simple accompaniment really lets the vocals shine. This is another track where the backing vocals really add to the overall enjoyment of the song. Powerful song, really enjoyed it.

    In 18th place - Kelsea Ballerini – Peter Pan, submitted by
    JP Liz V1




    Have I heard the band: No

    Have I heard the song: No

    Thoughts: Talking at the start sounds pure cheesy. Wouldn’t be a massive fan of this style of country. She has decent vocals but I just wouldn’t be a massive fan and unfortunately in a strong round this means it ends up on the bottom of the pile.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    Which means 1st place goes to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps - submitted by
    ShaneU




    Have I heard the band: Yes

    Have I heard the song: Yes

    Thoughts: I am a huge fan of Karen O and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. You wouldn’t believe how many hours I put in as a teenager trying to do the guitar bit for 3 and half minutes without fecking up! Mentions this already in an earlier round, but tom drums can be so effective when used properly. Ah when that “Wait” kicks in it just brings me straight back to being a teenager. Great song executed to perfection!
