Porcupine Tree I always found pretty dull for proggy type stuff.

In 7th place, scoring 5 points

Willi with Chaos by M4SONIC



A fellow Australian, I see. Feels a bit by the numbers, like a computer wrote it. From what I understand he is actually playing the track live on that gadget, that is pretty impressive and elevates it to the top of this boredom tripleplay. But it doesn't do a lot for me.

Open Your Heart is great, if a bit Buzzcocks.

Maybe stick to songs you're not over the moon about?


Spoiler:
Bloobird with That Summer, At Home, I Had Become The Invisible Boy by The Twilight Sad



Don't know what to say about this. I never really liked or hated it. It's definitely a song. Because it has personality I could see really liking this and I have a hunch it would be on the podium if Nick were running this one. Indifference feels like a weird reaction to a track like this, but that's my reaction.

I enjoyed this. Very musical, quite a lot of depth. It's a questionable category fit and to really love it I'd prefer it had a bit more light and shade. So it falls a bit short of podium material.

No way that's a questionable category fit.

Wicked bit of Mogwai. Saw them live last month, ears still ringing.

Fun track. I quite like mainstream dance that has some nice vocal lines. Calvin Harris, that kind of thing. Not going to win any awards for intellectual interest, but I enjoy it and if nothing else, it does make me want to crank it up

Yeah Mogwai is more a hallelujah than a questionable fit for this category.

Boooo for the Twilight Sad rating. Boooooooo.

At normal volumes San Pedro is a fine listen, turn it up and will shake the foundations of both your music taste and your house.

Indeed, I felt a bit dirty for submitting them.

Yet to reveal: Jabonator, DonkDonkDonkDonk and Mankey Banana.

In 3rd place, scoring 9 points

Spoiler:
Jabonator with Blackest Eyes by Porcupine Tree



These guys again. This time around there's just enough griminess to keep things interesting. I really like the guitar sound on the main riff. Much better category fit. I still wouldn't say I love it, but this category has been like that.


In 2nd place, scoring 10 points

Spoiler:
DonkDonkDonkDonk with Reconfiguration by Other Lives



This was a grower. It's a good category fit because I didn't start really liking it until I cranked it way up. It's got a complex sound, a lot of texture. Again, it's benefiting from there not being that much I liked this category.


In 1st place, scoring 11 points

Spoiler:
I super love this track and am fully prepared to be laughed at by people for not already knowing it, since I imagine fans of this band know it like the back of their hand.


Spoiler:
Monkey Banana with Sunrise by New Order



I haven't listened to much new wave/post punk since most of it tends to be either irritatingly synth-poppy (Blue Monday for eg) or else a bit on the mopey side. This track though, while being immediately appealing, is also brimming with dark menace and energy. It sounds remarkably like a version of The Cure headed up by Robert Smith's psycho brother who will ****ing glass you if you look at him the wrong way in the pub. It's physically impossible not to listen to this at top volume. Awesome.

When I warned against submitting punk in the signup thread, this is pretty much what I was talking about. It's not a style that interests me at all. Rolling the dice on classical last round worked out well, but this just isn't my thing at all.
"Punk" is a moving target, I C.

For such a great category the outcome was really poor. The correct podium is some combination of Bloo, tappo and MB.
