PJ's Odobenus rosmarus reveal

Pretzill

I must apologise to Mick Jaguar for saying I'd shoot these two...:o

Like you PJ I can't get the barbershop thing and also I like Billy Joel

Airplanes - B.o.B.; Just not into this genre at all. Rap/Rnb/Pop fusion. Whatever you want to call it. Rhianna made a whole career out of songs that sound identical to this. Not my bag, sorry.

17th place and 2 points for

Necro

Apologies Necro. We clearly have different taste in music. I expect nothing less than the wooden spoon in yours :P

Cake - Flo Rida, 99 Percent; Jaysus hated this on first listen. Didn't hugely improve. Again, not my genre at all.

Which means ...

Love Yourself - Justin Bieber; I may have name dropped Bieber when mentioning this category. I absolutely love this song and this album in fact. I found it utterly bizarre when I found myself eventually listening to the king of the teeny boppers. Goes to show you shouldn't feel guilty about liking anything. A good song is a good song.

MrKingsley

Quite a low result for you Kingsley, your slipping.

We Are Never Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift; I love that "Ever ever ever" hook. I should probably give Taylor Swift a proper listen as I've liked a few of her songs. Her lyrics are hilariously specific considering she had a few high profile relationships. Great pop song.

Would I seek vengeance like that



You can have your Miley Cyrus crap and I'll take Airplanes any day :pac:

Congrats MrKingsley. We obviously have very similar tastes considering many 1st's you got. Thanks for all your entries. I've certainly expanded my horizons.

Pretzill

Well done Ecto on the category top spot and Mr Kingsley and Ecto for rocking this entire Walrus to claim a deserved 1st & 2nd overall.

Thanks PartyJungle, great game.

Necro

Cheers for the game PJ.

Voting down Traffic over Adagio though is an unforgivable sin I cannot let go :P

Well done MrKingsley

Ectoplasm

Ha, I'm delighted. Didn't expect top spot in this one at all. Well done Mr. Kingsley.

Ah missed this and luckily enough by heart may have been broken ha ha.

Well done Mr.K some unreal song choices.

And great warus PJ great craic.

On the Barber Shop Quartet i get people dont like it but i love it and have spent many an hour on youtube watching some past America finals on it, its so cringey it actually breaks through past cringe into something i love.

Or to put it another way im not even sorry

I enjoyed it Mick. I think you should host a Walrus at some stage, I'd say the categories and the rankings could be very interesting

osh

Cheers for running PJ and well done to Kingsley and Ecto.

Think I got myself third place so I'm happy with that

It's clearly the taking part that counts...

Right?

RIGHT? :pac:

I was mulling over it last night, mainly trying to come up with wacky categories, i might eventually get there with it, just not sure how i feel about ranting others music tastes

I think it's less about rating people's taste and more about finding songs you like. I had one category where I liked pretty much every song in it but just some more than others.

Here's your final table folks! (Where there are ties I just left them in the order that Excel sorted them - sorry barney92! )

Big congrats to MrKingsley for a very impressive score of 95 out of a max 108. Congrats Ecto for a very strong showing in second place. And congrats Necro for an impressive margin of "victory" in the chase for the wooden spoon.

And of course, most importantly, big thanks to partyjungle for hosting. My first time playing Walrus and I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for doing the table. I've tried doing one on boards once and never again :pac:

All Summer Long - Kid Rock; This bastardisation. Mish mash of Sweet Home Alabama and Werewolves in London with that oh so coveted Kid Rock flavouring. I think this fits the guilty pleasure moniker quite well as I absolutely hated it at first but it did grow on me too.

6th place and 13 points for Electric Nitwit

That is disgracefully high scoring, you should be ashamed PJ

Just typing that I realised I should have entered this...



Thanks for hosting Duncan

I'd say your Walrus would be great MJ. I agree it's not about rating, it's just what you enjoyed most, and it's all very subjective. I think overall it's just great to be introduced to something that you haven't heard before that you will listen to again and again.

Go for it!

osh

Yeah cheers for the score updates throughout Homer.

Only way I can do them is by quoting one already made and editing the details

If you put your stuff into excel then directly paste it into boards and then use the table function you can get a pretty primitive one tbf.

Anything more than that and I'm lost though :pac:

Hilariously I only actually came last once :cool:

Other songs didn't finish high enough up to make an impact though

No bother at all, it's a welcome distraction from the kind of stuff I normally have to use Excel for. Also I think it was osh who put up the table for the first one, so I just copied their one and ran with it!

Woo! 4th place is best place!

Thanks PJ that was a fun walk through other people's musical hellscapes

I actually felt weird about this category. Don’t really feel guilty for listening to anything but I just picked this one because it would mean my mates would give me the most sh1t for it. Really like the song though.

Thanks for running it PJ. Great fun and it’s always nice to take home a trophy.

There is a trophy right........

Shoulda just posted the original. Was class all on its own.

Choc Chip

That was brilliant! Really enjoyed it PJ. Thanks for running it.

The last category had me dancing round my kitchen to lots of tunes last night.... I really don't know what that says about my musical tastes.

Rikand

Thanks for running PJ

Grats to the winners, which of course is all of us
