[Vegard Pompey]

Everyone's rated except @Talos of Atmora. Do you plan on rating anytime soon or should I just wrap this up?

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I'll rate today.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Broadcast - According to No Plan: I liked the atmosphere but it doesn't do enough with it, in my opinion. 6/10

Split Enz - One Step Ahead: I actually liked this. Never heard a single track by them before but this definitely made me want to check them out more. 7.5/10

Usher Waltz - John Williams (Nikita Koshkin): A brilliant piece and a brilliant performance. What's not to like? 10/10

Pixies - Where Is My Mind: I've always liked this track. Despite how it may sound originally, the more you listen to it, the more the melancholy it conveys becomes blatantly obvious. Very few are like it. 9/10

David Thomas - Semaphore: This was pretty cool. 8/10

Ink: The Complete Soundtrack - Recognize: Good stuff. However, I don't know how it relates to confusion. Haven't seen the movie though, so I'll be generous. 7.5/10

Wipers - What Is: Bog-standard punk with an extremely grating chorus. 3.5/10

The Who - I Can't Explain: I much prefer their work after this but I still liked it. However, not on theme. 4.5/10

Gentle Giant - I Lost My Head: Completely topical and completely great. 10/10

Buzzcocks - I Don't Know What to Do With My Life: I liked this as well. 8.5/10

Tim Buckley - Hallucinations: Really good. 9/10

Bob Dylan - Ballad of a Thin Man: One of my favorite songs of his with a great live performance. 10/10

OK, so I'm on a friend's computer without excel or any other calc software so I started tallying this up by hand but I made a mistake somewhere in the process forcing me to start over and I'm not going to. So I'll just post who submitted what and let someone with time on their hands figure out who won. Sorry.

Broadcast - me (snuck this in while waiting for more submissions, didn't feel like taking it out when I had enough. Very positively surprised by HBB's 10.)
Split Enz - STN
Koshkin - Baroque (thought this was a fantastic pick that strongly conveyed a sense of confusion instrumentally even without context.)
Pixies - arg
David Thomas - HBB
Winans - dweller (thought this was a bad pick that did not convey a sense of confusion instrumentally without context.)
Wipers - no country
The Who - Elric
Gentle Giant - sirjack
Buzzcocks - CIG
Buckley - Funerary
Dylan - Talos

...Just realized the reason I fucked up during tallying was because Talos rated one song less than everyone else for some reason. good job

Split Enz - One Step Ahead

I’ve said I’ve planned on checking them out over and over and I never get around to it. The synth line a minute in seals it, I WILL listen to this album this weekend. Except apparently this is from a single and not an album? Wait, LastFM tells me I listened to Second Thoughts in July, so I’m good. 8.5/10.

Check out the albums True Colours and Waiata. One Step Ahead is off Waiata.
