I’m so depressed after last nights lack of love for Bob that I’m gonna have to book a holiday to cheer myself up.

Bob's a music god

Legend was my first proper album, I'd probably have picked that very song if we weren't including compilation albums

Went to see the Wailers some years ago in Sligo of all places, they were so good (too late to see Bob but they did him justice) Get Up, Stand Up gave me goosepimples.

Interesting, I've always assumed they'd be a bit of a let down. I'll have to keep an eye out to see if they're coming back

It was about 15 or more years ago but I had the same expectations as you but by the end of it I was bouncing up and down with everyone else

Green&Red

Right enough whining about last nite, hopefully ye'll be as put out by tonite's scoring :pac::pac::pac:

12th Place - The Sisters Of Mercy-Nine While Nine

Yes I know this should be in the numbers category

*shrug

I liked this, good song

Reberetta

Green&Red

13th Place - Frank Black - Speedy Marie

This would have scored higher but it kinda loses it towards the end, still a good pixies song

13 points for

Banjo

Green&Red

11th Place - Houndmouth - My cousin Greg

Another song I'd never heard, it reminds me of someone and I can't place them, its bugging me! But great tune in its own right

Good selection

Mr Kingsley

Green&Red

14th Place - Eminem - Stan

This would have scored higher only I know it so well, great song

Sorry

Necro

Green&Red

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

I'll accept it being called noise, I'd accept people not liking it but I fücking love Enter Shikari. This isn't their best, but it is awesome

I saw them live recently and the gandhi drop was followed by "I'm actually very calm these days, I do yoga and everything"!

EDIT: might just chuck up a non-live version, it might be an easier introduction, maybe...

15th Place - Spearmint-Julie Christie

Another solid entry, really enjoyed this, just a reflection of the songs around it that it ends with 15 points -

Sheridan81

Green&Red

9th Place - DeclanO'Rourke - Sarah (Last night in a dream)

Toss of a coin between this and the 8th place entry, both songs I would know very well. This guy really dropped off after his debut album

Pretzill

Great choices Micks

Green&Red

16th Place - Roger Hodgeson - Along came Mary

Apart from the weird Queen Elizabeth bit at the start I enjoyed this, I enjoyed that too but just didn't see how it fitted.

Another thats unlucky to score this low cause I really liked it,

Pretzill

Green&Red

8th Place - Josh Ritter - Kathleen

I submitted Josh Ritter for an earlier Walrus so its obvious I like him, love his voice

8 points for Ectoplasm

Pretzill

It's almost 19th...but better. Yay - Roger liked his historical audio he has Churchill's famous speech at the beginning of Fools Overture great Supertramp track. I think there is a royal link here with the Mary or something.

Saw him live twice. He’s amazing! As always (with me), good choice.

Green&Red

Why don't the two of you get a room

Green&Red

17th Place - The Silver Jews - Smith & Jones forever

Still with songs that I enjoyed, never heard of these, I'd listen to more

17 points for

Osh

Green&Red

7th Place - Bat For Lashes - Daniel

Took me a while to decide how much I liked this, in the end I really liked it, stands up to repeated listening, wouldn't be out of place on the Drive soundtrack

Another good pick from

18th Place - Bob Dylan - Sara

I'm not a massive Dylan fan so that is probably responsible for the low scoring here but again its a good song -

Tammy!

Oh god! Here we go again

Green&Red

6th Place - Johnny Cash - Don't Take Your Guns To Town

Love a bit of Johnny Cash so even though I know this song really well it still scores high - nice one

Quickbeam

Green&Red

19th Place - Therapy? - Diane

When I saw this entry I thought brilliant, I love that song, its not as good as I remember though. Didn't remember the dark lyrics either

We can cruise down Rober Street all night long
But I think I'll just rape you and kill you instead

Please don't let me incur another Trump gif...I'm sorry you're the best G&R :-\

Good number I don't think I know tonight, haven't been able to listen but looking forward to catching up tomorrow

Now though, my hangover is driving me back to bed

5th Place - The Kinks - Lola

20th Place - Infected Mushroom - Suliman

I think

SKeith

and I just have different tastes, this was ok

Pretzill

Another great track Spook!

4th Place - Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl

Poor Jessie with his buddy trying to steal his girl

21st Place - Plain White T's - Hey there Delilah

I think I'm just allergic to this after too many plays, sorry

Kitten_K

Pretzill

Some great choices tonight - a strong category.

My nerves can’t take this. I think I need to buy shoes to calm down.

Green&Red

3rd Place - Arty - Kate

Really liked this, great upbeat tune, thanks

Rikand

Green&Red

22nd Place - Weezer - My name is Jonas

This low rating probably had more to do with the submitter rather than the song itself -

thanks Joban for being a scapegoat

Green&Red

The last three songs are by The Decemberists, Beautiful South and Nick Cave

Pretzill

I'm beginning to think Joban is just here to deny me my wooden drumstick - is it a conspiracy?

Cue Trump gif.

2nd Place - The Housemartins - song for whoever

Probably the greatest pop song of all time, add in the trolling its absolute perfection - fantastic choice from

Strawbs

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Green&Red

23rd Place - Nick Cave - O'Malley's Bar

I was cooking lasagne while listening to this category, this song came on, sometime after we had eaten it and washed up it ended. 15 f**king minutes.
So thats why its here -

Sorry $hifty

Green&Red

1st Place - The Decemberists - Oh valencia

It took a lot to beat the Housemartins but this is absolutely brilliant. The Decemberists are a band I listen to and always think I like them but this will make me get into them.

Well done MollyB

Green&Red

MollyB extends her lead at the top of the table but there's a long way to go yet and any of the top seven could still win

Glad you liked the choooon!

Pretzill

Well done Molly they're really good actually the last three are fab choices considering they span the category. Thanks G&R I am realising now what turned out to be my last choice may look like it was deliberate because of my lowly position...best category of the four so far tonight looking forward to listening back!
