Mother's Finest - Give You All the Love (live)
Not the best version of this song, but definitely better than the studio version. Might seem a bit strange that I like this rather happy music, but I actually find the old live stuff by Mother's Finest very enjoyable - especially while ironing. 9/10

Submission revealed lol.

Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep
I was ready to hate this but it's pretty damn well done and this guy does the bestBon Scott impersonation I've ever heard. 8/10

Descendents - Pervert
Awesome. 10/10

Enrique Iglesias - Tonight (I'm Fucking You)
Thanks arg 1/10

Rick James - Give It To Me Baby
Sexual chocolate 10/10

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love
Obvious choice is obvious 6/10

Queens of the Stone Age - Make It Wit Chu
Good song but I think I'm starting to hate Josh Homme 7/10

Nine Inch Nails - Closer
See Led Zep 6/10

The Vindictives - In the Corner
Ace. 8/10

Mother's Finest - Give You All the Love (live)
Cool funk stuffs 8/10

Anti Nowhere League - Reck A Nowhere
Cheesy novelty punk isn't my thing 4/10

Jeff Buckley - Everybody Here Wants You
Great song 9/10

1. AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep - 3/10
Gets old fast, and I've heard the original 1000 times more than I ever wanted to.

2. Descendents - Pervert - 6/10
Typically goofy/charming Descendents effort.

3. Enrique Inglesias - Tonight I'm Fucking You - 1/10
... and giving you AIDS.

4. Rick James - Give It To Me Baby - 8/10
#metoo

5. Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love - 6/10
-2 for obvs

6. Queens of the Stone Age - Make It Wit Chu - 5/10
Josh Homme has a good voice for this sort of thing, but this is uninspiring and repetitive.

7. NIN - Closer - 6/10
-2 for obvs

8. The Vindictives - In the Corner - 5/10
Mildly interesting snotty throwback punk

9. Mother's Finest - Give You All The Love - 6/10
Interesting discovery, there's definitely talent, but sounds like a safer version of Parliament/Funkadelic.

10. Anti Nowhere League - Reck a Nowhere - 6/10
I like ANL but their songs don't really hold my attention for long

11. Jeff Buckley - Everybody Here Wants You - 7/10
What a voice, not just in its range but in the subtleties of intonation. I would have chosen Lilac Wine instead for this theme - I had a friend at uni who'd say (half seriously) she'd fuck anyone who could sing that song to her

12. Slashstreet Boys - I'll Kill You That Way - 5/10
I lol'ed. OK, it's a bit of an easy target, but I've always found those boy band dance moves to be really quite gross and creepy, so it's ripe for a serial killer parody. How the fuck does this fit the theme though?

 

[challenge_everything]

Jeff Buckley - Everybody Here Wants You
Another song which leaves me cold. 4/10

Insert German stereotype joke here.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

to the guys who keep asking/complaining about the slashstreet boys and the theme, did you miss my post where i said it was accidentally added to the playlists?

Dirty Deeds - this is fucking killer! Top Bon take and totally on theme 10/10
Pervert - Shitty but not too shitty punk 6/10
Tonight - yeah...it's catchy in a gay pop way l guess 3/10
Give it to me baby - l can't fault anything about this. And the girl is fucking gorgeous 10/10
Whole Lotta Love - Never was one of my fav tunes off of Zep II, it's just not as great as it's allure. Killer riffs of course but l always hated the middle. 7/10
Make it Wit Chu - The more l hear this band the more l like - l only know Songs For The Deaf and that's an awesome album 7/10
Closer - Ugh l have always hated Trent fucking Reznor and l hate this song. But l saw him on a HR soundtrack episode recently and l decided l like him 4/10
In The Corner - Yep you know with the intro beat it's gonna be ok. Nice and short. 7/10
Give You All The Love - Another perfect track! Top pick! 10/10
Reck-A-Nowhere - Criminally ignored band, not their greatest number but l love the geetar tone 8/10
Everybody Here Wants You - Apart from personal taste (an' that's all we got right?) it's another peerless tune. l can easily see the talent but it's just not my sort of background music. 6/10

That wasn't as distasteful as l was hoping. Cool enough tho.

Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep
7/10
lol

Descendents - Pervert
8/10
I haven't listened to much to Descendents, but I've heard good thangs.

Enrique Iglesias - Tonight (I'm Fucking You)
4.5/10
Pinche pendejo.

Rick James - Give It To Me Baby
7/10

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love
7.5/10

Queens of the Stone Age - Make It Wit Chu
7/10
Not the best QotSA

Nine Inch Nails - Closer
9/10
It may have been an obvious pic, but it's essential. And it's the only song so far that I find to be apropos fucking a big tiddy goth girl to, so there's that.

The Vindictives - In the Corner
8.5/10
This is a great find.

Mother's Finest - Give You All the Love (live)
6/10
I can only get so funky in one sitting, and Rick James already filled that quota.

Anti Nowhere League - Reck A Nowhere
9/10
This never fails to get the Christmas spirit going.

Jeff Buckley - Everybody Here Wants You
5/10
I don't associate coffee houses with sexy times, so why are we playing coffee house music?

[TechnicalBarbarity]

What do we do when there's a tie for the top spot?

@EspaDa where's your list man?

 

[EspaDa]

I'll try to flesh it out shortly.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I'll try to flesh it out shortly.

Definitely needs fleshing.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

hopefully one of his gypsy sisters isn't getting married tonight so he can turn in his ratings and we can wrap this up

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

What do we do when there's a tie for the top spot?

In such a scenario, I would use the median score as a tiebreaker, assuming they aren't also the same.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I'll try to flesh it out shortly.
