September 9, 20231 yr Ooh some great artists here - Joy Division, The Moody Blues, Serge Gainsbourg, T. Rex, Television etc. <3 looking forward to listening to all of these!
September 9, 20231 yr Well there are at least 2 songs here that have already been played at the weekend SyncTube sessions ('Cosmic Dancer' was at the #1 albums sessions and 'Marquee Moon' iirc was played as an RIP slot) - I don't think I've heard any of the others though, looking forward to hearing the rest. 2 out of 15 songs being over 10 minutes :cheeseblock:
September 9, 20231 yr Will be interesting to see whether I enjoy these or not(!) - 15 is a nice enough number though. I already know 3 (and probably wish I'd thought of the two that aren't my own entry haha)
September 10, 20231 yr I had Close to the Edge on my shortlist and also Joy Division's New Dawn Fades but alas someone got there before me.
September 13, 20231 yr Author Just a reminder that the listenthrough will be tomorrow evening. Is 8pm alright for everyone? I can start at 8.30 if required. It should take about one and a half hours.
September 14, 20231 yr Voted also, good round though my 12 pointer was miles ahead, great discovery :heart:
September 18, 20231 yr Author Six people have voted so far. The rest of you have this week to get your votes in.
September 21, 20231 yr Author Four days to go now and there are still eight entrants to send in their votes. Don't forget.
September 22, 20231 yr Despite there only being 14 songs to vote for I really struggled to order this! My 12 was clear of everything else but I made numerous switches. One song I ranked second last after first listen eventually made its way up to my 5 points.
September 22, 20231 yr Voted! I was away at the time of the listenthrough so I'm intrigued as to how these went down.
September 22, 20231 yr I sent my votes right after the listenthrough - it's #longsongbloc supremacy for me for the most part!
September 22, 20231 yr voted! an easy 12 pointer to a long-time fave, and I tended to rate the shorter punchier songs - it's the punk in me....sadly no punk at all in the contest though! :lol:
September 23, 20231 yr Author There are just three people left to vote now. Reminders have been sent. I will also be pleased to receive any guest votes from non-participants. The deadline is Sunday night.
