    I completely disagree...The Kick Inside of which Wuthering Heights is just one track off it is her best album by a country mile - Running up that hill was the weaker of the 80's stuff really - I thought Cloudbusting a much more melodic contribution and I nominated that but I think Army Dreamers or Moving are better tracks.
    Fair enough - for me though, she sometimes seems to be trying to show off how good her voice is and ends up warbling. That's how Wuthering Heights sounds to me. Her voice sounds much more natural and genuine on Running Up That Hill

    Who-was-the-stingiest.jpg

    So purple tin averaged about 14 and Zaph averaged around 7.5 :pac:


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Zaph was the stingiest followed by Shelly, Necro & LeVar.

    Shelly gave out a whopping 157 ZEROS. Zaph handed out 136 and LeVar 111. Necro just missed the century handing out 99.

    Our most generous point givers were Purple tin. Followed by Irish Aris and noby.

    Irish Aris loved the ol' 20s handing out 101 of them. The next nearerst were LeVar and ShaneU who threw 74 of them at the ladies.

    I didn't vote on either first time around. Get it over the line!

    So I was 3rd in handing out 0's and joined 2nd in handing out 20's, giving me podium placements in both most stingiest and most generous. Being both incredibly generous and extremely stingy, I'm an oxymoron.

    The Muse cover of Feeling Good is far superior and Nina Simone is overrated.

    Really surprised that I didn't win that badge too, I felt like I was running out of zeros to hand out. I'm afraid a lot of the songs nominated just weren't my thing, I'm not a pop or metal fan, so that got rid of a lot, and I suppose that a lot of the music I do like just seems to be male dominated.

    Whether or not you're a fan, calling Nina Simone "overrated" is a pretty wild statement. As both a songwriter and a pianist she was pretty damn accomplished and influential, particularly in a time where black women didn't have a whole lot of social capital.

    Now Muse....THEY are overrated! :p

    Well said and although I nominated Feeling Good - I was gunning for Sinnerman to win outright - kudos to whomever nominated that gem

    That's my 13th casualty.
    Two nominations left standing.

    Two nominations left standing.

    Considering there's only 16 songs left and there were 373(?) to begin with, that's pretty good going.

    I've still got 1 in, and seeing as only 4 of my 15 made it into Round 1, I'm pretty happy with that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    I have 2 left in the running. Most of my songs didn't make it out of the trap.


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]
