Another new artist for me - this thing is working out well!

This song hooked me early on from the intro. It definitely appeals to me but after a few listens it slipped down a few places. Still, starting off our top ten is

I founded YouTube to host the video that will be posted.

I really wasn't sure about this on first listen. Or second or third. The more I listened to the lyrics though the more I enjoyed it. What appealed to me is that although it's so specific, it could be about so many places.

Ninth place of the evening goes to

ElectricNitwit

with a tasty 12 points.

Ooooh that's interesting.

Awww Necro. I was expect some trad music from Coleman county.

Necro too - I live not far from Coleman Country :O -

Nope, Unashamedly standing by my choice :pac:

(Also Coleman Country music is actually very hard to find an actual track of in my brief search)

Electric Nitwit

I'll take that. I had to pick that song, even though it's nowhere near his best. I literally grew up in Streatham, it was a no brainer

Next up we have our first duplicate (of sorts). It's an artist that I know but I'm far more familiar with her in terms of her collaboration with Damien Rice. I love her voice and think she is hugely talented. This wouldn't be my favourite of her songs but it's a nice catchy tune.

Eighth place and 13 points go to

Lisa Hannigan is one of my favourite chill out listens. And it turns out I work with her cousin. Small world.

Ectoplasm

And here is where the duplication comes into it. I am a sucker for a bit of violin too :pac:

Another solid tune from Ms Hannigan - not of Annie fame

Right side of the river, Nitwit.

osh

I like her voice. Name didn't seem familiar but sure I've heard her before

Ectoplasm

Another Damien Rice connection here. I remember when these lads were Juniper. Thoroughly delighted that they continued on after that all fell apart :pac:

A band I really enjoy and haven't listened to enough lately and a great choice of tune.

6th place and 15 points go to

Next up is a band I've not heard of before. I didn't totally hate it as in it didn't make my ears bleed or anything and I actually listened to it a good few times with a kind of wry smile. The question I had to ask with a lot of these was would I listen to it again or go looking for more of their work? The answer in this case was not really likely.

Irish Acoustic Punk Rock

The Spuds only ever released one album and only ever played one gig. They never intended for the group to end up being as big as they ended up being and wanted to come quick and disappear over night. All of them had their own bands, so actually Spud ****** was more of a supergroup among Athlone musicians Scratch Tracks was the name of the album. I do recommend it for anyone who is into hearing more Irish Acoustic Punk Rock

Baggly

Woo hoo. I remember them as Juniper too

Quite the niche genre there Rikand

Yea im not sure ive ever hear the words Irish acoustic punk rock in a sentence so I'm certainly intrigued and will be given it a listen

Ectoplasm

Top 5 tracks all went to songs that I either hadn't heard at all before or had heard them and didn't know the artist.

In fifth place is a band I've always kind of known but never really paid any attention to. I think I mentioned that I've done a lot of listening to these songs in my car and this was one that had me reaching for the volume to turn it up when it came on.

In at 5 and scoring 16 points is

If the last song was a driving tune with the volume turned up, this next song is one that makes you want to turn the volume on the rest of the world down.

I adore this guys voice. I love the idea that he is using the sounds of the sea as music in its own right. I really really really liked this song.

Thanks for the introduction

I may have lied about that bit

Ectoplasm

In third place is a band that I'm surprised I've not heard of. This track had a very Stone Temple Pilots vibe off it. I was intrigued enough to look them up and everything! This was another turn the volume up tune and I really enjoyed it.

Third place goes to

Strawberry Milkshake
