Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Ight I'll try to break this tie for y'all, but don't blame me for making a new one or causing a preexisting tie to get even worse!

Turbonegro - Selfdestructo Bust
Makes me want to dance. Pretty rocking tune. 8/10.

Beastmilk - Surf The Apocalypse
I'm going surfing right after I'm done rating this mixtape. I remember listening to this album on my way to a Pearl Jam show, so automatic nostalgia points. 9/10.

Band Of Light - The Four Horseman Of The Apocalypse
This had some interesting elements that kept me engaged throughout. Kind of reminded me of a male version of Coven. Cool. 8/10.

Kate Bush - Breathing
I can definitely see why people say Tori Amos got a lot of influence from this broad. Pretty good. 6/10.

Suede - Shipbuilding
I like ballads like this. But it also reminds me of Aldous Snow, so there's that. 6/10.

Nirvana - I Hate Myself and Want to Die
Nirvana has their good tracks, but overall I find mediocre rhyming/screaming rock music. This is one of those tracks. 5/10.

George Crumb, "Black Angels," Movt. 1, "Departure"
Sounds like something I'd hear in "The Exorcist" or "The Shining". Yes please. 8/10.

Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball
I've been known to get quite drunk with my buddy and we'd karaoke this song whilst screaming at the tops of our lungs. We were not appreciated. 5/10.

Dweller to the rescue! At first glance, I thought the tie was perpetuated, but thankfully not.

Turbonegro - Selfdestructo Bust 60.5
Beastmilk - Surf The Apocalypse 61.5
Band Of Light - The Four Horseman Of The Apocalypse 59.5
Kate Bush - Breathing 54
Suede - Shipbuilding 51
Nirvana - I Hate Myself and Want to Die 50
George Crumb, "Black Angels," Movt. 1, "Departure" 47.5
Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball 27

So, whoever submitted that, congrats! It was caught up in both ties, so it is perhaps the appropriate winner.

edit: I'll add that if I fucked up the math on final scores, it wouldn't be the first time, so feel free to double-check. Or just ignore it if you catch it so we can finally move on.

You’re such a bizarre character to me Dweller. A surfing doctor that primarily listens to black metal! Just a really odd mix! Cool, though.

Cheers to Black Orifice for tallying. No thanks to TB for being the only one not to rate when the game was tied even after repeated requests.

Just got back from the water. It was cold, gray, foggy, rainy and generally miserable. Black metal af!

thanks

But yeah i'm really not interested in playing these games/polls with some of you guys anymore.

Old news, but what a manchild!

Old news, but what a manchild!

ooooohhhhh that was a good one. Damn, if only i can think of a comeback that's as devastating as that.

 

[challenge_everything]

I blame Dweller for costing me the win

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Is surfing the new theme???

 

[challenge_everything]

I'd pay that!

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Do it

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Tempting, but no, I think I'll go with NECROPHILIA instead. I say necrophilia, but any sort of romancing with the dead qualifies, even if it's not rooted in necrophilia per se.

 

[challenge_everything]

Cant believe you prefer fucking a corpse more than catching sick waves

 

[viewerfromnihil]

That's a tricky one for non-metal. If I come away with this round, surfing will be my pick.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I got nothing for this theme

 

[CiG]

Aren't you a fan of hardcore punk? There's a pretty obvious choice available here for anybody who is.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Yes, I know that to which you refer. It will find its way on the list one way or another.

If it’s obvious I can’t think think of it unfortunately and if I don’t know it then I wouldn’t post it anyway. I love hardcore punk but I didn’t grow up loving it and there’s a bunch of stuff I’ve missed or just haven’t checked out.
