Homer J Fong

Green&Red

22nd Place - Britney Spears - Born to make you happy

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

God this is an awful song, I'll never forgive

Necro

A deserved 22 points, although he did pick up a bonus

Banjo

I think I'm on the worried side, but if one is a cheat then I should only get 22 points at worst

My wife entered (fnaaaar!) But used my account as she's not a boardsie. Hence the name. Coincidentally we both bought the same first album but my choice in songs was better than hers I suspect.

Rikand

Well played Homer!

Melanie was a stone cold fox!

Rikand

Necro

Britney is an even bigger fox!

Green&Red

2nd Place - Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm

What a cool album to be your first

Great song and great first album, again unlucky not to be top

Bit of a cocky git though is

One of my fave albums

Spook_ie

Well next one's going to give the last one away

That All saints song is a real blast from the past and is also very good

I'd love to claim Siamese Dream as my first album, but it was actually Now That's What I Call Music 27

Here's hoping blasts from the past are the currency for the round.

But my first album was around the times of Radio Lux.

Green&Red

23 Place - Seal - Deep Water

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

Did not like this song, like I say, two bad songs sellotaped together

23 points and early wooden spoon contender

So we have a first time Walrus entrant picking up the top prize from the first round

1st Place - Wings - Band on the Run

Could easily have been my entry to best song ever

Have always loved this song, its absolutely fantastic, fair play to

Have you still got it, must be valuable by now I would have thought.

Green&Red

This is the only round where I had heard the winner in advance of this competition

For me anyway the competition gets a lot better from here

5th Place - Elton John - Made in England

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

Never heard this before and with a name like that you'd expect it to be played off Sky Sports or some such. Really great song

5 points goes to

Mollyb60

Damn Werewolf! I would've picked this comment as mine too. No one's ever heard of the Made in England album and it has some great songs on it. Slightly cheated on this category as I won the album on a phone in radio show. It was the first CD in my house.

I was Crazy (Wow).... sorry, Britney Pun :P about her when I was a teenager.

Had a few albums on cassette that the parents bought for me but I felt that was cheating to enter something from them

As I said to GnR in my PM, twas my first summer working with my dad, got my first payment and went and bought an Alcatel phone and Baby! One More Time from the shop feeling like I was super rich

Banjo.

That Kate Bush song was a mucky clay that Utah Saints fashioned in to a masterpiece. Raw materials.

Pretzill

Great choice Spook - was listening to that track today (prophetic ) excellent reveal G&R! I'm away most of the week, hopefully I'll get a chance to follow.

Do we get another quiz in the next round?

Next round is without a quiz because some of you actually came up the aisle to these songs and I've insulted enough people on this forum without calling their magical moment a steaming turd

But the quiz will return for the later rounds!

Electric Nitwit

Well played Spook, classic choice there

I feel like that was my safest round, I'll enjoy my elevated position for now!

Ooooh choose your words carefully, Green
