Welcome boardsie to my walrus reveal. Huge number of people in for this, thanks to everyone who entered, that would be

Some first timers there, best of luck to everyone.

I'll be running the reveal in the order that I enjoyed the categories!
So tonite will be A Song from your first album

Then
Song to walk up the aisle to
Song with a number
Song with a name
Finally Country/folk song

Hoping to get the first one out of the way this evening, then Wednesday, Friday and maybe Saturday & Sunday but that'll depend on the weather at the weekend. If its fine I'll off to the Battle for the Lake in Achill

For each round I'll post up a list of comments, one for each song, fairly generic. If you can spot your song its worth an extra point to you, just post on thread and highlight the blurb that belongs to your song. If you're wrong you lose a point.
Remember I don't want to give you the point so I might be trying to lure you in and some of them will be just too vague to be able to guess, luck of the draw.
I'll leave that open until 4pm, no obligation to enter that

Good luck every one

So here are your 23 clues

Saw this artist live once and kinda ruined them for me

What a cool album to be your first

Blast from the past, good upbeat tune

We all had our favourite didnt we?

Its like two songs put together, neither of which are that good

The best thing about this is that the artist isn't singing that much

Would have been at home in a different category, or left out altogether!

I hope i'm in this good of shape when I'm that age

Great song - probably too familiar

Heard of these, heard the song, didn't realise thats who sang that

I think there must be better songs on this album?

Not the best known song on this album but very good

Hadn't heard this before which is surprising given who it is and the title

Not sure I'd go and listen to the full album but I like this

Thankfully I'll never have to listen to this song ever again

Sing-along ability is very high here

Could easily have been my entry to best song ever

Classic film, has kinda ruined the song for me though

I've heard of these but never listened to them before, I'm on the fence, got the most listens of any song to try and make up my mind

Had their greatest hits growing up,really like them

Won't be my cup of tea normally but actually liked this

I didn't hate this but it did outstay its welcome

I kept expecting John Barnes to break in with You've got to hold and give but do it at the right time, you can be slow or fast but you must get to the line

osh · 23-09-2019 12:30pm

I was thinking the clues would be pretty easy to guess but I could probably go with half of these for my pick

Necro · 23-09-2019 12:39pm

Thankfully I'll never have to listen to this song ever again

This is 100 per cent mine

Electric Nitwit · 23-09-2019 12:39pm

Ha ha, some of those clues are amazing!

Good work being ready for this soon, looking forward to it

EDIT: I'm going to be brave/cocky and claim this

I know two songs like this.
And I submitted them both

(although only one to this category)

kitten_k · 23-09-2019 1:12pm

I will take a guess at

Won't be my cup of tea normally but actually liked this

I can see why you would think this but unfortunately not

Bonus point for Necro!

This made me laugh out loud, NO

When you see my description of your song it'll make perfect sense to you

No, but death or glory!

I actually thought mine was the "saw them live..." but then noticed you said artist not band. The band i entered are famously hit or miss live

23-09-2019 2:14pm

I’m taking this one

I hope i'm in this good of shape when I'm that age

Green&Red · 23-09-2019 2:34pm

Hah, I was trying to lure someone else in but you're right!

Like I say there's a bunch of these that could fit, depending.

I'm gonna try this one. As I've no idea if you like the song or not.

osh · 23-09-2019 2:44pm

Hopefully I'm wrong

Green&Red · 23-09-2019 2:50pm

You are wrong, I quiet liked your song

Banjo · 23-09-2019 3:30pm

Green&Red wrote: »

Is this a guess?

yes. Unless it's wrong and then I'm afraid the jokes on you!

My only regret is that I didn't know the song It's A Rave Dave in time to submit it for this, and all future walruses. Walrii?

Well its incorrect for Banjo..........

Banjo · 23-09-2019 5:00pm

Oops. didn't see you're doing it backwards.
I haven't heard the song she submitted in about 15 years but I bet I live with the person who suggested the song you're talking about in First Albums.

Electric Nitwit · 23-09-2019 5:00pm

2 correct
4 wrong?

Pretty good ratio!

fixXxer · 23-09-2019 5:04pm

Can't pick mine outta those so gonna ABSTAIN

Going with this.

Anyone not prepared to gamble on a guess will be giving away the fact they want to win walrus and, therefore, cannot be trusted

I may be wrong every time but I’ll do all of them. Adds to the fun

Green&Red · 23-09-2019 7:27pm

Right lets get things kicked off
If there's a MOD or WW Mod here you might announce the reveal on the WW thread please

12th Place - Tupac - Heartz of Men

Not sure I'd go and listen to the full album but I like this

Can't say I've ever listened to Tupac other than Ghetto Gospel, liked this a lot
Solid mid-table showing for MR KINGSLEY

quickbeam · 23-09-2019 7:28pm

Will let the game mods announce. Not gonna butt into WW thread.

osh · 23-09-2019 7:33pm

May as well stick a link up to the reveal in the sign up thread G&R

Green&Red · 23-09-2019 7:35pm

Next Up

13th Place - Boyzone - Melting Pot

The best thing about this is that the artist isn't singing that much

The lady on this song is an awesome singer and I found myself singing along to it, what can I say its catchy

Kitten_K

Electric Nitwit · 23-09-2019 7:38pm

Quite like that Tupac one. I know next to nothing about rap, that's a lot more jaunty than I'd have imagined

Green&Red · 23-09-2019 7:51pm

11th Place - Faith No More - Epic

Heard of these, heard the song, didn't realise thats who sang that

So I would have said I didn't know any Faith no more songs but turns out I do, liked this, good solid rock tune, remind me of rage against the machine

Banjo · 23-09-2019 8:03pm

The real thing - what an album. Impressive taste for a first purchase!

fixXxer · 23-09-2019 8:04pm

Excellent taste OSH!

Green&Red · 23-09-2019 8:08pm

14th Place - Bon Jovi - Lay your hands on me

I think there must be better songs on this album?

I remember liking Bon Jovi but this didn't really do it for me

osh · 23-09-2019 8:10pm

I was never one for buying a lot of albums. Mostly borrowed siblings/friends stuff or taped off radio. But was a big fan of faith no more for a stage. Angel dust was a great album too. Must give it a relisten

I remember seeing Dolly Parton covering this at Glastonbury and trying to claim it was about god!

osh · 23-09-2019 8:12pm

Loved mr bungle too

Think again! This was pure crotch rock magic! Although Homebound Train is pretty good too.

Green&Red · 23-09-2019 8:18pm

10th Place - Utah Saints - Something good

Blast from the past, good upbeat tune

Great song, had forgotten all about it

10 points go to

Fixxxer

osh · 23-09-2019 8:23pm

Ah yeah used to love Utah saints. Not heard any of their stuff in a long while

Electric Nitwit · 23-09-2019 8:24pm

That is a blast from the past!

Sure I liked them back in the day, not loving it now though...

Wow, they're still going too, according to wiki. Although their last single was 6yrs ago

Banjo · 23-09-2019 8:26pm

It's catchy but when you think of the song they butchered for it, it's like making a decent burger out of a golden calf.

MrKingsley · 23-09-2019 8:26pm

is it too late to guess G&R?

Green&Red · 23-09-2019 8:28pm

15th Place - Blue Suede - Hooked on a feeling

Classic film, has kinda ruined the song for me though

The start kinda grates on me now after seeing Reservoir Dogs so many times
