Lassykk's Music Walrus
-
11-05-2020 11:05am#1Hi,
Giving a walrus a go as I've enjoyed the ones that have been run so far and hoping it will be a bit of craic during lockdown
To give an idea of my normal listening my top songs on Spotify would include Pearl Jam, Stone Sour and lately Tonic. But I also enjoy Taylor Swift, Pink, Wet Wet Wet etc so I'm not locked into just one type of music!
I have expanded my music collection hugely since Spotify came along but I would have a few genres I don't like such as rap, grime or R&B.
I have gone with 5 categories that I know may overlap with other Walrus' (I haven't read them bar the most recent ones) but hopefully that doesn't put anyone off given the steer above on my taste in music.
One Hit Wonder - Some of my favourite songs are one hit wonders and I'm always open to listen to some new ones or just some of the classics!
Power Ballad - I love a bit of cheese and you can't beat a good power ballad when you are in a certain mood
Instrumental / Classic - Whenever I hear classical music I always like it but I'm very uneducated when it comes to it. To open this up a bit more in case not everyone has a suggestion here I will allow instrumental songs as well where there are no words so this would in theory open up some dance tracks, etc.
Acoustic Cover of a Rock Song (can be by the original artist) - I have a soft spot for rock songs that have acoustic covers done and a lot of my Spotify playlists are full of them. It doesn't need to have been released so a live version from a concert is all good too.
90s / 00s / 10s Rock / Punk Rock Song - This is my main genre and I'd love to hear what boardies suggest in this category.
Just a couple of things to note
- If there's a specific version of a song you want me to listen to you might include the YouTube link - if not I can find the links myself
- Entries can be sent to me via PM
- No current deadline for entries but will leave open until a critical mass have hopefully entered.
Looking forward to seeing everyones entries

For me it was the acoustic one that was the toughest, there are some excellent acoustic versions by the original artist and then there are some covers that are brilliant too.
In the end I just went with one I found about 3 months ago and really really liked. Ironically I found it after an entry in my own Walrus sent me on a deep dive of the original artist 0 -
It's a pretty wide category, taking me the longest for sure.
I had well over 30 songs on my initial shortlist for that category this afternoon. Managed to get it down to 6 and now I'm back up to 7... :rolleyes:
I have decided on my One Hit Wonder and Acoustic song now, as well as the Power Ballad, so its just the Instrumental and Rock Song left. Nearly there.

I've sent in my picks, it's been a few weeks since I last entered anything
I found the Punk/Rock category fairly tricky, as in recent years I've moved more into niche metal genres and any artist I chose was metal so stuck with a classic and a favourite of mine that is definitely classified as rock.0 -
Up to ten entries now
Really looking forward to listening to these especially the instrumental one as I only know one of the ten songs by their title.
Power Ballads is going to be hard to judge as some absolute crackers have been chosen
On the one hit wonders I'd have a top 3 in my mind but that's only off the songs I know - I'd be very surprised if the number one slot changed here as it's one of my favourite ever songs
Acoustic has thrown up some interesting choices - The only band/singer represented twice so far is in here and I don't like them
The last category, being so open, has thrown up some very different songs, again many I don't know by title so I'm looking forward to listening to them all.
Keep the entries coming
Thanks0 -

It that it then or is here still time?
Have half a list done but time is not my friends right now.
No still loads of time.
Will probably cut off somewhere between 15 - 20 entries depending on how much interest there still is
Will keep it open until the end of this week (Sunday) at a minimum0 -

I haven't took part in a walrus before but I'll give it a go. Is it just one song for each category?
Yeah one song per category, then PM your choices on to lassykk where he will go on to harshly critique and rank them against everyone else's choices, earning people points to determine a winner.
Its a brutal and unforgiving game, but you'll love it... 0 -
