If I write out the songs, and a few of who might be what, it seems to group the same people together for a few numbers of songs.

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

If I write out the songs, and a few of who might be what, it seems to group the same people together for a few numbers of songs.

I've got you on 3, and some others are lumped together too, and yet there's a few I simply have no idea on. I just don't have the history together that some of you have here being the newest of the selectors.

I've got 3 pegged for sure, unless the Clarkie has been raised to a level even I didn't see. Even then, that would have required some advanced coordination and someone else actually owning the same song, which I don't think this lot is capable of. ;-)

Ha I am similar. I've got too many for a few, and not enough for others.

I had you down for 3 including a clarkie. In the end, I kind of randomised it and see what happens.

Coatigan - Matilda May

Well played, and no, not one of the 3 I had for you. It will make my Top 10 assuming I'm allowed to submit it! ;-)

Black&White&BlueMoon Town - Silversun pickups / CH

I only submitted one song despite once having 10 on my shortlist! ;-)

I trust rob to pick my first answer. Just wanted it there so if it turns out to be you framing him, I can j'accuse you.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

I’m pretty sure on about 3-4 of them and think I have a good shot on 3-4 more. After that it was quite random. Obviously have switched my actual with someone else’s. Credited one of my favo(u)rite posters (in terms of album choices) with the song I liked best. Had a hard time with the poster whose taste most aligns with mine ironically! Excellent subterfuge attempt by one poster but I think I’ve got him sussed. Another I am pretty sure picked one of his two favo(u)rite songs. We shall see!

Nice, an extra layer of picking the framers too. As if I'm capable of such! ;-)

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

First time through I thought this playlist was rather pedestrian, including my own pick TBF. Second time through I liked it a lot more.

 

[RobMCFC]

Good news. With the votes so far, every song has at least 2 points.

[journolud]

I played the playlist for my wife on our drive to Anglesey. Two definite likes from her for Imelda May and Silversun Pickups. Some of the others might take a few more listens for her but a decent playlist for me, only one I find hard to take.

Will submit my top ten over the weekend, can someone remind me when our guesses have to be in for?

Special mention for the Leonard Cohen lyrics;

“Ah you loved me as a loser, now you’re worried that I might just win

You know the way to stop me but you don’t have the discipline…”

Reminds me of something I can’t quite put my finger on.

 

[GornikDaze]

I’m still maintaining that someone has stiched me up like a kipper here….





Or have they…..? ;)

I've got you down for that Waterhouse number...left field...

Per Rob's text p 1495 - easier to just paste directly here. I waited a few hours to answer, so FYI:

Remember:-

1. Closing date for guesses is next Sunday (9th June).
2. Send you top 10 from the list to Rob in a PM.
3. If you want a crack at winning the prestigious guessing championship, the list of nominators is below. Put your guesses as to who picked what track in a post in this thread.

It is quite apt.

This is the one Leonard Cohen song that I like, and I'm still marvelling at the lyric:-

And I thank you for those items that you sent me, ha ha ha ha
The monkey and the plywood violin

If that’s the one Leonard Cohen song you like then you’ve not listened to enough of him. In my humble opinion of course

 

[OB1]

Is the Top 10 meant to be in order of preference?

 

[BimboBob]

Is the Top 10 meant to be in order of preference?

Yup...well I did mine in that order. I suspect Rob wants to have a winner.
