Green & Reds Walrus Reveal

Green&Red

In at No. 2 - Al Greene - Lets Stay Together

This was No. 1 for a long time and really just missed out cause I knew this and the other song was new to me. What a tune, I can just imagine

Ectoplasm

smoozing her way through this

Great pick

Green&Red

23rd - Jim O'Rourke - Something big

Maybe it was just the creepy pic on the video but I needed a shower after listening to this

I've let one massive shoehorn of a song in for a later category so I wasn't adverse to that but just what the f**k


No spoiler for OSH

Maybe I should have submitted the original by Burt Bacharach. I didn't think the album cover would be what you base the decision on...

osh

Also I like that cover

The best holiday I've ever been on has been to Cinque Terrre in Italy




All these little restaurants and bar down winding stairs that all lead to the sea. Literally the most beautiful place I've ever seen, add in the food and wine, it was a dream.

The winner reminded me of that holiday, I could imagine it been played while we relaxed with red wine after dinner

Green&Red

1st Place - Andrea Bocelli - Love in Portofino

It also sounds like it would be an epic aisle song


Top marks to

How could I not? It traumatised me

Ahhh ya, I deffo have to go there some time it looks gorgeous, Andrea Bocelli is also 1 of my all time favourite singers.

You can watch 47 minutes of the concert on Viemo, it really is beautiful looking and sounding

1st whoop thanks Gnr

Fair enough. Just be better if you based it on the song imo. I'd be fine if you didn't like the song.

Well done MJ, no arguing with a bit of Andrea

I might need a big lead before the names round

Ouch! Wasn't expecting top marks here or anything (weddings are not really my thing) but didn't think it would be quite that bad. If I hadn't already used "Into My Arms" for Necro and Stu's Walrus it probably would have been my first choice here. I did wonder if "Today" was perhaps more of a first dance song than a walk up the aisle song, but the lyrics at least seemed to fit the occasion and the melody is beautiful (or I think it is, anyway). Ah well, can't please everyone I guess.

Anyway I've never been up the aisle and that's not likely to change in the foreseeable future, so at least you haven't pissed all over a cherished memory or anything.

Spoiler alert!

Guessing you really don't like my numbers pick

Another song Andrea and his co singer kill

in this case Katharine McPhee

This song would also suit this round

And from all accounts Katharine McPhee has married david foster who is Andrea's right hand man have got married recently

Slightly beside the point but another wonderful duet

I've never been able to find the live version

Green&Red

So here are you clues for the numbers round, one guess per person. Hope to get around to it tomorrow evening, probably from 4pm

Never heard this before but another solid pick

If it ain't broke don't fix it

Just never got me going, sorry

Yes, love this

These peaked long before this

Pitchforks at the ready

I just dont like this guy

Kings of leon anyone?

Cheeeeeeessssssyyyyyy

Good solid choice, liked it

This did get me going, really liked it

Saw these live and love them since

Droll

My ears

Never heard this before, went straight in @ No. 1

You came back for this?

Classic tune, great choice

Meh, a nice song

Middle of the road

Never heard these before, not my cup of tea but I liked it a lot

Sounds like it was made in a garage

Apart from the synth stuff I really liked this

What’s the category? Names or numbers?nevermind lol

Classic tune, great choice

Necro

Classic tune, great choice

Gonna go with this one for me...

Necro

Ha LOL Strawbs

We could have picked same tune

fixXxer

My ears

Me. No doubt.

Based on the reaction when I submitted the same artist in Molly's, I'm going with this.
