    The problem with Neil Young is he's so variable, in style and quality. I'd recommend his Unplugged album as a starter though, I think it's brilliant

    That's what I meant. He's so variable and yet two songs that were pretty similar (IMO), LeVar liked one and didn't like the other so it's hard to judge what he'd like.

    Unplugged is good, for sure.

    I really wouldn't consider Like A Hurricane and Sleeps With Angels to be all that similar at all, but that could just be me. Maybe I have sound-blindness the way other people have colour-blindness, and I just don't hear things the same way as other people do even though I can hear things I like and don't like in song, and that's why my taste is all over the place... You're all hearing Green, but I'm hearing Purple... :D

    Actually, I'm pretty sure that I am literally tone deaf, so it could be me either.

    I tried learning to play the guitar once. I literally couldn't even tell the chords apart, beyond that I could phsycially see they had different finger positions.

    for the challenge,




    i'd argue it has six of the 7! Just need to find the tv show that had it as its theme song...



    Number In The Title: Check
    Black Artist: Check
    Animal Name: Check
    Heaven & Hell: Check
    Year of the Rabbit: Check
    Weather Related: "the wind is Howlin' and the rain is pounding down" :pac:



    does it being uncredited in a soundtrack count?

    If only he sang it in the song, then maybe I'd accept that. There's a whole point on the line here though, so I'm not going to be in any way flexible... :D

    5 out of 7 is still pretty impressive though.

    You can argue it until you're blue in the face (blue like the sky where the sun shines and the rain falls down), but it's still a no from me on the weather front. :pac:

    Additionally, I can't stand sunshine, being a creature of the night myself...

    Certainly not. What do you think I am some sort of nice individual who wants to help you people get extra points like they were going out of fashion or something? Pfft.

    Bonus Point Challenge

    So if anyone missed it earlier, I've thrown down the gauntlet. Anyone who can come up with one song that fits the criteria (to my satisfaction) for all 7 categories by 1pm on Saturday will receive a bonus point

    So the song must have a number in it's title, it must be by a black artist, it must be about the weather or make reference to the weather in its title, it must be from an artist with an animal in their name, it must be about Heaven/Hell/etc, it must have been released in the Year of the Rabbit, and is if that weren't complicated enough, it also must have been a TV Theme Song, if such a song even exists...

    Answers on a Postcard please!

    fair play if anyone meets that challenge

    Ah, this was my submission at one point but I kept looking and changed my mind, so close! :p

    Love Feeder, think I've seen them more than any other band. I used to know their tour manager so I hung out backstage with them once, before they played their free Olympics gig. And by "hung out" I mean nervously said hi as they walked past :pac:

    Would only really know their singles and greatest hits, but they've got some cracking tunes.

    They really have, they deserve to have been so much more successful than they were. I'd have them up alongside Foo Fighters

    As much as people love to hate them (usually people who've never even listened to more than one or two of their songs), they have some really good stuff.

    Only one before 1990, the rest are incompatible and cannot be considered music.

    don't know what to expect for this round. I decided to take a gamble with an album track/non single from a famous album. I think it is a brilliant song but the choices so far have set a very high standard. In any case, it's one of the categories that I would be very interested for the reveal, especially if people select 1987 songs which is a key year for my music taste.

    i'm working on getting a Black artist with an animal in their name to record before Saturday a song they won't release until 2023 named " Heaven 11 is a Rainy place" if that helps?
