That's a great result, the top 3 were all in my own top 4. Congratulations to Suedehead.
I'm happy with 15th place for my own song. Thanks Wardy for all the hard work you put into hosting. |

Robbed of last place
 thanks to any voters! Congrats Suedehead on the win - I personally didn't get into the song but I'm pleased to see some of my faves (crushed, Italia 90, Beak) in the top ten! Thanks for hosting Wardy

Congrats Suedehead! Your song was my favorite of the contenders, and closest to getting points from me so I'm glad you didn't end up needing them. What an exciting finish!
I'm happy enough with 18th, at least I can say I was 2nd on the first scoreboard.  And I got votes from 12 people, nearly half! 'Deepest Darkness' was actually a BJSC potential but I did a swap with the Bartees Strange song that I wanted to send to Nuggets, but figured everyone would know it was me - maybe I should've after seeing Chez sent Lights & Motion again (great choice by the way!).MAY-A was my 12 and I'm sorry to see Y'all Starlight kind of disown it, thanks for the discovery!  I was also curious who was behind Wanda Jackson and The Audition, was thinking someone might think the latter was sent by me, I think I used a song of theirs in CD Swap years ago. Glad I could save them from last at least.Thanks for hosting, Wardy

So so pleased with how this went, thank you everyone, it's so good to be ending up in 4th with an entry like this - one that even threatened to win at one point, I'm very happy with having sent this. Congratulations to Suedehead as well, a great song winning, and good to see Orphaned Land and Dayseeker in the top 10 too - and thank you for running this so thoroughly Wardy, really great hosting.

What an incredible set of results!
My top 4 finishing 1st, 2nd, 6th and 3rd with my own entry 5th! Italia 90 the winner on the 'Olympic Medal' table too Was slightly hesitant about sending more post-punk in Leisure Activities after the complete failure of DEADLETTER in UP, so delighted to see it finish as high as 5th. They're both comfortably in my top 10 of the year. Thanks for hosting Wardy, good job! |

Wasn't fussed on the wining song at all but what an epic comeback, as many as 38 points off the top at one point and seldom inside the top 10 even throughout the whole reveal, kudos there and congrats to Suede! A very very long time since your only other contest win on here I believe?
Pretty satisfied with a midtable placing. Interesting set of results for it, only the winning song received more votes yet not a single voter awarded it a medal placing. Very much unlike the usual breakdowns for much of my entries to site-wide contests. Thanks to Wardy for running this one, a really great edition! |

Yes, my solitary BJSC win was, I think, in 2017

Thanks everyone for 19th! Sorry for the controversy - just a disclaimer, I obviously do not align with or are pro-Nazi / Neo-Nazi in any way, and the song I picked was the only one of Silencer's I was familiar with. Out of interest, was that a reason for people to not enjoy the song or did it put people off? Based on what I know of the band (and the genre of music) they seem to address difficult topics, not necessarily known whether or not they align with them, and I think that is a common theme in death metal music. They take on the shocking subjects no-one else will touch and sing from perspectives that no-one else would. I guess it's up to the listener or the public if consumption of that kind of music is endorsement of the subject itself. I find it more of an alternative perspective that doesn't shy away from the horrors we've faced as human beings and explores the psyche, the motives etc. behind them, something we will never tap into because it's not our scene. I guess I liken it to watching crime documentaries on Netflix - it doesn't mean I support the crime, but I do have a curiosity to explore a side of human function that is not at all what I align with. It comes with human instinct.
As for the song itself, the horror of it and the background story behind its creation truly fascinated me. It's a blatant dive into someone's destructive mental health, and as someone who struggles with depression, I was blown away by hearing something so raw from someone who is going through a version of what I'm going through that's THIS extreme. It's something we know as people but not on this level. Rumours are the lead singer is in an insane asylum which I wouldn't doubt too much LOL. Congratulations to Suedey (I think I may have managed to miss your song on my listens completely, I don't know how I did that?) but a good edition. Guitar music isn't my fave but definitely did take home a few good bits. Thanks all! |

Amazing discovery^ I certainly thank you for that, powerful stuff.
And I'm guessing you used the Spotify playlist where the Suede entry was sadly unavailable? |

It was largely the rather unpleasant vocal that put me off the song, but I will confess reading up about the band did not help at all. Although I never thought about it that way so thank you for allowing me to see it in a different light, it is similar to how I can get some enjoyment viewing extreme or polarising horror films.

thanks for the great hosting effort and glad to see my first entry here make it to the top 10, I had sat on this for a couple of years as a BJSC potential but decided it would probably fare better here.
particularly yay for the big point swap with Iz, +10 from the host, Rollo enjoying my entry much as I expected and an additional +12 from Smash Mouth's #1 stan too |

Fake top 10 or not I'm really pleased with how well my entry did! I thought it was bound to get forgotten right at the start ahead of an eclectic mix, yay.
Thank you for a great hosting job Wardy and congrats Suedey!!

The vocal on Silencer meant I didn't even make it to the end of one listen tbh.

Love that whole Top 5 and very pleased to be 3rd in such a strong competition! Thanks for hosting Wardy, you did a great job - sorry that I wasn't able to be here for the results.
I discovered that crushed track just before the contest and was sold from about 20 seconds in when that lush synth lead crashes in, I'm happy that so many others also enjoyed it also. The lyrics in particular just drew me in. Shame that Have A Nice Life just missed out but I did everything I could to support it for the win so I won't feel too guilty at it missing out, and many congrats to Suedey ofc! QUOTE(Brer @ Sep 13 2023, 12:27 AM) Sorry to be annoying  We would be lost without you, don't apologise x |
