Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

yeah l knew that tbh but the rate of subs being quite puny - hell, why not. i've no argument tho. l don't even have a song lined up.
And, it's a pretty pathetic theme. Blame the drugs and booze.
But come on people, more tunes please.

Michael Jackson - Dirty Diana
Not a fan of his dramatic schlock rock crap at all. Michael did so much better. 3/10

Elliot Smith - Say Yes

This is nice, I like Elliot Smith but have never really been able to fully get into his stuff for some reason. This starts out a bit too sweet but I dug it in the end. 8/10

Coven - Wicked Woman

Pretty cool, this is the second time they’ve been in this game I think. Like Jefferson Airplane took the evil acid. 7.5/10

The Dudley Moore Trio - Song For Suzy
Dudley Moore was a hell of a musician. This is great. 9/10

Tori Amos - Blood Roses

This is ok but I'm not a huge fan, she's too melodramatic or trying too hard or something. 5/10

Pink Guy - She's So Nice
This is obvs dumb but I enjoyed it. The chorus is lovely. 7/10

Yapoos ロリータ108号

This was super annoying 2/10

Swans - I Remember Who You Are
Nice haunting way to finish. 7/10
 
Michael Jackson - Dirty Diana
Definitely not one of the songs that made him King. More like one of those songs supposed to arouse in girls in the crowd/club that bad girl/bad ass feeling after they've had a couple mai tais. 2/10

Elliot Smith - Say Yes

One of my favorite singles from him. Also the first song I learned to sing and play at the same time (excluding death metal) and still one of my favorites to jam on. 9/10

Coven - Wicked Woman

If not Omni's pick, in any case applicable. Good stuff. 8/10

The Dudley Moore Trio - Song For Suzy
Solid sounding jam, though I'd prefer it without the skat. 6/10

Tori Amos - Blood Roses

It's got the melodrama of Nina Hagen, except it's not good. I'm calling auggie on this one. 2/10

Pink Guy - She's So Nice
Smooth transitions. 5/10

Yapoos ロリータ108号

Eh, never thought I'd say this, but K-Pop I would rather have listened to K-Pop. 2/10

Swans - I Remember Who You Are
Solid listening. 8/10

Check out From a Basement on the Hill. It's hands down my favorite album by him, and I really like all of his other albums. I seriously had the thing in my car's CD player for two months straight once and never got sick of it. Musically it's super diverse and incorporates more electric guitar than anything he had done since he went solo. It's also disturbingly melancholy at times, but never in a way that's over the top, immature, or unrelateable.
 
Michael Jackson - Dirty Diana
7/10
I never expected Michael Jackson to appear on a playlist about girls. Ironically, the original Diana of Roman mythology was a virgin goddess

Elliot Smith - Say Yes

5/10
Tepid sensitive guy songwriter crap, but it had some redeeming points towards the end.

Coven - Wicked Woman
8.5/10
Not as good as "Black Sabbath" but still a great song.

The Dudley Moore Trio - Song For Suzy
6.5/10
Not much to sway me either way, but those vocals were goofy. At least it was short, so that's a plus.

Tori Amos - Blood Roses
8/10
A rather fine work of harpsichord-driven balladry.

Pink Guy - She's So Nice
6/10
It's pretty silly but not terrible.

Yapoos ロリータ108号
4.5/10
Too kawaii desu. But at least it's not abhorrent from a melodic standpoint, which I totally expected.

Swans - I Remember Who You Are
9/10
I haven't actually checked out the album this appears on, but this song is trenchantly haunting even if its mellower than usual Swans fare.
 
These ratings don't take that long guys. It's not like you have to give it your full attention span and write some complex analysis. Also, I don't want to win, so I need some of you misanthropes to down-rate my shit.
