    Old Pine - Ben Howard




    This one suffers from a similar complaint as the previous ones in the lower echelon. Slow, meandering and, imo… just not very good. Those oohs and aahs again too :pac:

    Four kicks - Kings of Leon


    Unlike the previous KOL song submitted, this one is a cracking track and absolutely perfect for this category.

    i retract my previous statement! :pac:

    I was really vibing this, again until your man started singing. I just find it very sleep inducing.

    I forget there's even lyrics in this. It's all about that amazing hypnotic outro!

    Monster - Walking on Cars




    By jove,
    Clarabel
    found a Monster song I can’t completely rip to shreds! Though there’s something to be said about throwing enough.. erm.. yeah anyways. This is bloody brilliant. Lead singer sounds a bit like James Arthur… he’s not is he? *Checks* NO HE ISN’T :eek:

    Great voice anyways and this song is fab.

    I second that - not up the top but nowhere near last.
    I'm not the biggest fan of Air, but I thought Le Voyage dans la lune was their most interesting album and the ethereal vocals of Au Revoir Simone fit the music nicely.

    Wowser Necro, you're belting through these!

    The clever title was one of the only ones I had a plan for, I would have entered this:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imcSt2HyzEo
    Wikipedia wrote:
    "The Only Living Boy in New Cross" was a single by indie rock band Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine. The title is a pun on Simon and Garfunkel's song "The Only Living Boy in New York", substituting the London area of New Cross.

    I'm glad to see many people struggle with the definition of indie :p
    I know it's what I listen to most but still struggled. I think you'd have got something by Gene from me, they're criminally underappreciated

    Looking forward to a lot of catching up. I got a job today so, ironically, I should have loads more free time soon :pac:

    This category was pretty wide open for interpretation, you could have literally picked from any genre as long as it was a solo artist. Some songs that would have done well below


















    And of course ;)

    Jackson C. Frank - Blues Run The Game




    There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this song per se, it just isn’t my cup of tae unfortunately.
