Taylor Swift – Folklore – Submitted by cee_jay

This is my daughter's favourite album (my wife is winning!) so I've heard it more than any other album recently!

Just catching up properly. I agree with all of this until the end sadly. I worshipped this album when it was released but recently I've gone right off it. Still love Definitely Maybe and The Masterplan, don't know what it is about this one...

Stop trying to sway the judges..

ShaneU

You picked the best selling album of the 90's...I'd be deducting points!

I think it's my most played album of 2020. It just struck a chord when I listened to it on the day it was released. Taylor Swift is always up towards the top of my Spotify artists, but this album placed her firmly on the top.

Ok...

Reveal Part Uno

In 10th place, scoring 5 points

Apostrophe - Frank Zappa submitted by RasTa


In 9th place, scoring 6 points

Good Years - The Shires submitted by Also Starring LeVar Burton


In 8th place, scoring 7 points

The Silent Force - Within Temptation Submitted by mustang shelly

Incredibly tough to decide between a lot of these.

Irish Aris

Full Moon Fever is such a great album.
I don't think I will do well, but I don't mind. I knew Notorious was a risky choice, but it was the first album I ever bought at my 15th birthday.

Yeah but there is a very good reason

I was 13 when I went deaf, I idolised Oasis at the time, want to know what year I went deaf? 1996 a year after that was released. Its probably the only album that I knew and kept with me all these years, until I got the implant tbf, I used to imagine the music and lyrics when I couldn't hear a jot. So yeah, thats why it was selected.

I love it, and it will always mean a hell of a lot to me as it got me through some absolute tough times:D

I know, it was just funny :pac:

And to be fair, if the version of the album you know has your internal voice rather than Liam's I can see why you'd rate it higher

I like Liams voice :pac:

I like some of his more recent stuff too.

It may be as I'm so used to the Manchester accent, as I used to be there a lot, family and exes from there too :pac:

Stop taking my stupid comments seriously
I think his voice is very unique and when applied to the right song it's great. And most early oasis it was the right songs. It doesn't fit all songs though

Ah well, it was a gamble. Even more so when I found you really liked vocals!
I hope you enjoyed the listen anyway, I genuinely entered it hoping you'd liking it, I wasn't being obtuse. And they are my favourite band. I did umm and ahh about which album to pick but I'm not sure any would be up your street

Well done to the purple tin, really enjoyed your entry. Still all to play for, particularly with the duplicate... will there be more?

Aiming to get Round 2 done and having the reveal maybe next weekend sometime.


Thoughts on the reveal folks? Like? Hate? Anything needing tinkering?

Just the half points yoke

Good reveal, I enjoyed it.

Electric Nitwit

Nice one Necro, good work!
Congrats purple tin. That's one I'll be giving a good listen, Steely Dan are a name I know but I've never listened to them that much

I'll give most a spin, a few I know the odd song but nothing deeper - Tom Petty, even Bruce to an extent. Within Temptation sounds very, well, tempting too!

I liked the reveal - I liked the focus being taken away from the points, let the thoughts on the music breath a bit

Irish Aris

I like the way you do it, with the 2 parts!!!
Gives everyone the time to read the comments.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Fair play Purple.

Enjoyed the reveal Necro.

ShaneU

Good reveal apart from Zaph, who I both love and hate right now :pac:

I was close to picking The Postal Service album for this, ever listened to it?

Sawduck

I loved that reveal Necro, great job and great winner too, steely Dan are brilliant nice selection purple tin
