Chapeau to whoever picked the song that samples Peter Finch, one of the great scenes in cinema.

Hats off to me for whatever I nominated

THE SPRING BREAK PLAYLIST

A reminder of the process.

- Listen to the playlist (stating the obvious).
- Pick out 5 favourites.
- Also pick a 'surprise find', a song by a previous unknown to you that was a surprise like.
- Have a go at guessing which song is whose with all of them.
- Post both the guess list and favourites/find list here, not via PM, it is more fun that way. They don't have to happen at the same time.
- You can swap your own song for another in the guess, to not reveal your song, as only I know the actual song, I will swap it back when tallying up.
- Or you can leave it and not bother, again only I will know, others may think you have swapped for any of the others.
- Clarkies welcomed.
- Discuss the songs you feel worthy of discussion

- Deadline for both lists posted Monday 9th of May. Gives time to reveal the results and clarkies on Tuesday the 9th, with a view of resuming the album runs on Wednesday the 10th.

Virtual prizes again for most liked top 5, best find, best guesser, best hide.

We could score each song out of 10 and then make a top 5 out of that ? And posters revealed then.

I don’t have a scooby who would pick what

"Boyz" by M.I.A. has to be either (i) a comedy suggestion to throw us of the scent or (ii) punishment for (the listeners) for some crime!

It was me as retribution for your lack of love for Fela Kuti ;-)
Currently trying to work out who I can offend the most by matching them to that song.

Na, just your 5 favourite songs in order of 1-5.

I mean if you want to score them for your own joy and selection process, sure, but in terms of posting just give us the 5 in order.

The songs that appear most times in most peoples top 5 will be the popular ones.

I swear this isn’t a Clarkie… Surfs Up - Brian Wilson is hard not to press the skip button!!

That album is often lauded as one of the greatest ever made but personally I have never understood that.

 

[RobMCFC]

Whilst there are a couple of tracks that I didn't like, on the whole, this is an eclectic playlist that I really enjoyed.

I even think that I've nailed about two-thirds of the nominators!

Of course, there are about four tracks that I have two people in mind and knowing my luck, I'll have gone the wrong way on all of them :)
