Green & Reds Walrus Reveal

Green&Red

6th Place - The Gardener - The tallest man on earth

Really liked this, not what Id consider folky but too good to be marked down

I used to work with a girl who raved about the tallest man on earth and for whatever reason I never properly checked him out, I will definitely be after this, absolutely loved this, fantastic pick, I think if I was too listen to these for another month this would keep moving up the rankings

Awesome song

Mr Kingsley

Here I am again!

Green&Red

20th - Donovan-Jersey Thursday

Never really got me going

Didn't like his voice I'm afraid, sorry

Sheridan81

Green&Red

5th Place - Tony Reidy - Mayo Man

Why couldn't you have come up with something like this for every round?

"I come from the bogs of north mayo, I come with turf between my toes"
May as well be describing me, consider me pocketed. Genuinely did like this, I'll be looking up more of this lad and learning this song

Thanks

Pretzill

for giving me a load of music to look into

I imagine a cowboy whos never had sex wrote this song

I didn't really like this,

sorry SKeith

Green&Red

So we have Necro, Rikand, Fixxxer, Joban, Ecto and Strawbs left

Green&Red

4th Place - James Taylor - Copperline

Great song, love this fellas voice

I've always loved James Taylor, never heard this before and this live version is amazing, its hard to describe how much I like this

This song went up a few spots while the reveal has been going on, great pick

Rikand

3rd Place - Billy Ray Cyrus - Busy Man

Cat stevens only happier

Its like a country version of Father & Son only he learns his lesson on time

What can I say, I really liked this, thanks

22nd Place - Fintroll - Trollhammaren

Folk? At a stretch, noise would be a better description

Sorry

Fixxer

, should have said metal wouldn't go anywhere with me

Necro

Good ol' Billy Ray

His stuff is really, really country. Just avoid Achy Breaky Heart :pac:

So this is the Galway girl, from the song

2nd Place - Steve Earle - Copperhead Road

How have I never heard this before??
So I looked up the meanings for this song and there's some argument but my favourite is that both his father and grandfather made moonshine, the granddaddy was killed by the revenue man and the father ran off the road before his whiskey was set on fire. But he's not going to fall into the same trap

Well worth a listen for the lyrics alone

Not that she deserves it but 2 points for Strawbs

Are we sure MIck is not actually a cannibal?

Yeeeeeeehaw!!!

Green&Red

23rd Place - REM - Country feedback

So a lot of songs were borderline country, this song can't see the line, the line is a dot to this song

Just cause it has country in the title does not make it a country song, great song, sh!t choice for this category -

Joban

1st Place - Jason Isbell - Live Oak

Loved this, was top for a long time

Loved this from the first time I heard it, amazing voice and song, love this live version of it too. Very close with the Steve Earle song but this song is just too good

Thanks a million

Ectoplasm

, you were right I'd say we do have very similar tastes in music

I will defend REM until my dying day, even if that means calling them country...

Well done ecto.

Green&Red

Final scores guys, well done to Spook_ie on his winning debut, Wings did you proud. Hard luck to Molly but like I said you're probably not too upset to be losing points to Billy Ray Cyrus. Shout out to Ecto for a solid showing after a poor start

Thanks for playing guys, really enjoyed it although I'll be happy to get listening to my own choices again but theres a load of music I'll be checking up mainly The Tallest Man on Earth and The Decemberists

Banjo probably changed that in fairness

Necro

Thanks for the game GnR, mammoth task and you managed it effortlessly.

Well done to the podium

That’s the best I’ve ever got in a walrus!

Damn you Bob Marley!



































Not really Bob. I love you x

Electric Nitwit

Well done Spook!
And well played tonight Ecto

Thanks G&R, monumental effort made to look effortless

From a personal point of view, comments like this are why I play, so thanks for that...

10th Place - Enter Shikari - Gandhi Mate, Gandhi

This is just noise, really, really bad noise, Mrs G&R asked "what is that sh!t" when I put it on in the kitchen. And yet here we are, the more I listened the better it became, I laughed out loud at the "Gandhi mate, remember gandhi"

Brilliant pick, 10 points for Electric Nitwit

I would advise everyone to listen to this song

Green&Red

Well done spooky.

And big thanks Green for running a great walrus. 23 entrants! Well done you

Pretzill

Thanks G&R that was great - lots of good music choices to listen back to. Congrats to Spook on the top spot - the final table is out of order on mobile view but I don't think I came last or even second last - hard luck Joban/Banjo :")

Well, I'll try to keep the speech short, thank you G&R, thank you Mom n Dad, thank you etc. etc. etc.
Thank you 3rd cousin Archie, thank you 3rd Cousins wife Samantha, and a real big thank you to Paul and Linda for that first album Band on the Run, it just wouldn't have been possible without you all.

MrKingsley

Cheers for running Green. That was a might fun walrus and picked up a few tunes and artists I’d not listened to before at all

Me too. Top half. I'll take that.

Good stuff, GnR! I liked your reveal method and your mini competitions.

Congrats Spook.

Mollyb60

Ah I knew the Country round would pull me down. I'm not a big country fan at all. Congrats spookie, and well done G&R for running this whilst winnjng Werewolf at the same time. A mammoth feat!!!

Banjo

Sorry I missed the final reveal but great fun catching up. Except Camouflage, being the greatest song of all time, should have won the whole thing for me.
I believe Joban has taken this as a sign that they should not be playing, and also that this "****" could "**** right off"
For the record, I did not edit the Wikipedia article. Nor do I need to - Country music isn't a guitar. It isn't a banjo. It's a feeling. Not my words, the words of top gear magazine Waylon Jennings. Waylon "Dukes of Hazard Theme Tune (why did no one submit that?)" Jennings. And there ain't no more country feeling than laying out a ****ty relationship bare.... I digress!

Cheers G&R!

Green&Red

I hope Joban took it in the spirit it was intended, if she didnt I suggest she sets up a band called the "The Banjo String Players" and does a rap/country mash up ala Lil Nas/Billy Ray Cyrus and Old Town Road

Rikand

I really thought Copperline would top 3, but very happy with 4th.

How on earth had you never heard of Copperhead Road ?


Songs about Copper are obviously very popular with you :pac:
