Round 6 Banks, Artful Dodger and Craig David - This was everywhere when I was younger. Not a fan of drum and bass or the lyrics, so hearing it so often was awful. Time hasn't really helped. JohnErle, Sparks - File this under the Sparks that I am well aware of. Far too theatrical for my tastes. Lees...

Round 7 Banks, Selena Gomez - Better than the last song just as it waw a bit more energetic, but thats about all. JohnErle, Sparks - On the other hand, this is kind if what I have come to expect from Sparks, and so it didn't really grab me like some of the previous songs have. Leestu, Matt Berniger...

Round 8 Banks, Future/Drake - For something that was apparently everywhere pre-pandemic (I really wouldn't know), thus literally just passed me by without leaving an impression. JohnErle, Sparks - My favourite Sparks so far, this sounds very modern, not something I would expect considering how long...

Round 9 Banks, Hamilton - It's never a good sign when a song reminds me of Jack Johnson's Curious George soundtrack, this was pretty uninspiring for a musical with so much acclaim. JohnErle, Sparks - When you take the fun out of Sparks I don't really see the point. Way too serious and the added cho...

Round 10 Banks, Ellie Goulding - I do know this song, its a little repetitive and the beat is nothing remarkable so unfortunately I kind of forget I know it until it is on again. JohnErle, Sparks - I usually dismiss Sparks due to their over theatrical element. This harnessed that a little an became...

May as well take day 1 and kick off 10 days of awesome songs!

Fallen behind a little this thread, so will do a quick roundup of standouts in each round rather than each song: 18: Pendulum, Grouplove and Adrianne Lenker clear standouts. Not familiar with the latest of the first two, haven't listened to Pendulum in probably a decade, and while they sound very si...

Catching up on last three rounds: Banks: Dua Lipa- Obviously not my type of music usually, but this was undeniably catchy, despite the male vocals. Snow Tha Product - Didn't really appeal at all. The Scotts - Again, not for me. Not familiar with Kid Codi or Fortnite either really so not surprising. ...

Round 25 Banks: Mothica, Blackout - Didn't really do much for me, auto tuned vocals and forgettable production unfortunately. JohnErle: AC/DC, Realize - This next batch is going to be a struggle. I'm sure this pleases the hardcore fans, but recycled riffs from 40 years ago is just lazy. Leestu: Jeff...

Round 26 Banks: Run The Jewels, Just - This is the second time this has appeared now I think, and its starting to grow on me a little more. Bass is still too high in the mix for my liking, but there is definitely something undeniably catchy about it. JohnErle: AC/DC, Shot In The Dark - Didn't like t...

Quickly commenting on last few rounds: Banks: The little I habe heard of Childish Gambino has been decent if not spectacular. This was nice, liked the Prince vibes. Not so much a fan of Christine, while the other two just kind of passed me by. John: My Morning Jacket are always a pleasure to listen ...
