He hit the post with one. The rest are in row Z.

Presumably hit the post is right artist wrong song rather than right song wrong artist? :)

 

[Mancitydoogle]

Looks a good playlist with some choices appearing to be obvious unless there’s a few double reverse Clarkies

I'll give him a point if he guessed one of the ones I considered but didnt end up going with.

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

The criteria is that the nominator heard the track for the first time this year.

Quite a variable too

I almost guessed the new Local Natives for you, but I went Steven Wilson instead.

Neither correct, hence wildly wrong (so I was right?). :-)

Prior year songs was not what I was guessing either.

I'll give you half a point. I considered Desert Snow.

That guitar solo that I've only just heard this afternoon is fantastic. Nuno is a great guitarist.

One of my friends who plays a bit and has seen plenty of great guitarists (quite a few with me) reckons Nuno's performance at their recent London gig was the most complete he's ever seen by a guitarist.

On the new album, especially the early tracks, he channels his inner Eddie Van Halen in a very deliberate tribute. The solo on Rise is immense.

Empty Mansions for me

 

[Coatigan]

Who are Ballymash and Homerdog?

2 wildcards, eh!

Not quite - he predicted that a certain poster would pick a certain artist.

Said poster told me in his PM that he could have picked that artist because he had an album out this year, but he wanted to go with something different.

That's at least another half a point surely?

Maybe it can be used as a tie-breaker.

 

[BimboBob]

I'd suggest no points and a weeks ban.

Before my ban, here's what I recommended (Merry Christmas?)/predicted for you.

Depeche Mode - "Ghosts Again"

Enjoy the Silence!

The first lottery number is number 9. You all will have to fill in the rest once you change your minds.

But that was so obvious!

Was going for Before We Drown...but that was far to obvious and anyway, I liked Extreme as well.

There's another song on the playlist - a late entry. I'll see if you can guess who (that'll add an extra layer of mystery!)

"Sunshine in 1929" - Dominique Dumont

 

[GornikDaze]

Not a bad listen so far - a few that have piqued interest to explore further. Not really sure who’s who but I’ll have a very unforensic stab in the dark before the deadline.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

I like a good number of these, especially and including one that everyone is going to think I picked, and probably would have had I heard it before.

Damn, got to change my guesses then.

Which one is that then?
