I am the Necrus - Walrus Reveal Thread

Necro

In 3rd Place with 20 points

Rikand

Justin Timberlake – Take Back The Night

I mean lookit, you aren’t going to go too far wrong entering the trousersnake man into one of my Walruses, particularly a solo category. For me he’s one of the stand out artists of the last ten years (Awaits the boos). Great song. Cry Me A River or What Goes Around Comes Around would have likely topped this category but this isn’t a bad choice either… Evidently :P

If your earlier comment about "controversial" was in reference to JT. . . well, let the haters hate Necro, JT is absolutely fantastic!!

Night of The Swallow - Kate Bush

Oh dear. I am likely to get slated for this but I just don’t get Kate Bush at all. I think her voice is weird and not enjoyable to listen to.
There are three artists I was sort of praying people would avoid submitting and unfortunately she’s absolutely one of them.
I really tried with this song but her voice grates on me like nails on a chalkboard. I just.. I just can’t even..

Deja Boo

Remember When - Alan Jackson

This is absolutely incredible and exactly what I love about country. Just the raw emotion in his voice with little to no backing or protection.

It’s the song I absolutely want to play at my funeral, as morbid as that may be. Lovely entry.

Madonna - Live To Tell

*facepalms* There are three female artists I was sort of praying people would avoid submitting. Kate Bush was one. Madonna the other. We won’t go there with the third… :P (It's Sinead O'Connor btw) :pac:

On Madonna, I find her incredibly over-rated and I just don’t get her at all.
Again I tried with this song but it ended up with me skipping it midway. I cannot stand her, worse than my Blur hatred is my dislike of Madonna songs. The only two good parts are before it starts and when it finishes. Sorry… irrational hatred shining through here.

Little Wonders - Rob Thomas

Another fab entry that I just loved from the moment I heard. Helped my wife was literally dancing around the kitchen to it everytime I put it on Great pick and for me a deserving winner.

For others...

*I'm definitely more offended by the outrageous disrespect to Kate Bush of course

It's a TIE at the top between Shelly and LeVar

But the chasing pack are catching up on them....

ShaneU is just 10 points behind with Rikand and Green&Red 2 further points back.

Trigger and Deja Boo are tied then behind that, and Reberetta is only 20 points off. A bad round for one of the leaders could spell disaster....

Three to go

Irish Aris

I guess I shouldn't be the one talking, placing Foo Fighters and Radiohead at the bottom 3, but Live to Tell last?

Jerry Cantrell, Jesus there's an artist I've not listened in too long. To Spotify!

I only hate or dislike your taste of music, nothing personal. Although I think Levar's tastes were worse hence him scoring so highly. If you insult my hiphop song, I will find you and I will, do nothing.

Pre-Covid Fun Times

Ah a simpler time. When licking faces wasn’t frowned upon, isn’t that right Clara Likely that restrictions are going to keep us from our normal every day life for another while anyways.

Here’s a few of my fave fun time songs, pre-Covid.

GOOD NEWS THIS TIME!!

I liked every song in this round in some shape or form. So I had to get really nitpicky to rank them.

Necro

In 19th place with 4 points:

Arghus

Love and Happiness - Al Green

This just doesn’t fit my idea of a fun time song unfortunately. I’m not getting those vibes from the song. It's a very good song mind - just scores lower than others because it doesn't fit my vision of the category.

I love that song by Alan, great choice

I glad you liked Rob Thomas, no. 1 that is a first for me

Sawduck

Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime

Definitely a happy song, but too much of that psychedelic vibe that I don’t like ala Pink Floyd. It’s like they’re trying to hypnotise me :eek:

ShaneU

Mac De Marco – Freaking Out The Neighbourhood

This is okay. Only okay though, the tune is upbeat but the voice.. I dunno, it isn't??? So it has to suffer in the rankings unfortunately.

Necro

In 16th place with 7 points

Reberetta

Mark Lanegan - Down In The Dark

Hmmm. Song title already had me a little bit wary, not sure Down in the Dark is going to give me the right sort of vibes here… Yep, it’s erm… rather dark :pac: Good song, but not what I’m looking for in this category really.
