lolno, there's some great country

Nu-metal < pop-punk.

There's the odd bouncy pop punk track I get on with, there's virtually no good nu-metal.

That Alien Ant Farm album was the first CD I ever bought

When I think of pop-punk, All Time Low are the first band to come to my head. They know what they are, and they're good at it. For my sins, I enjoy this:



There are good nu-metal songs. Even just sticking with the 'big' songs from that period 10 years ago, I still enjoy listening to these:

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life
Deftones - Back To School
Korn - Freak On A Leash

There's definitely a stigma attached to liking this sort of thing though.

Movies >>>>>>>>>> Smooth Criminal

Glad no one submitted SC.

A genre invented to describe a group of three bands everyone already hated or more likely have never heard of and never will is cheating.

Aww. I was about to suggest... CRABCORE.



I promise you will laugh at this video.

LOL crabcore GOAT genre name

Oh right, for some reason everyone seemed to like the 2010 Deftones album. I tried to keep a straight face when my friends told me.

I know I'm doing a bad thing when I listen to All Time Low but I don't care. They're not deep or special but, as you say, they're good at what they do.

Definitely. I love Movies. I used to like Smooth Criminal but I was young and it was my first exposure to the genre. I just thought it was the most obvious one someone could submit.

Lol

I'm going to start diversifying starting with the next category. Maybe I shoulda kept up the theme and submitted a Saints song.

In my opinion, the weakest Jam songs are to be found on their first two albums. Now, I wouldn't pick "Heat Wave" if the category was Jam songs, but it's a fun, energetic romp through a classic tune.

The original is great. Still, I love the guitar and the somewhat more dynamic arrangement in the Clash version.

its like some of you guys are just pulling out all the terrible music on youtube

its pretty impressive

It's not a walrus but this is the best gif of the year so far.

Continue your reveal.

Great gif.

I'll probably reveal a little earlier tonight as I want to be done by the time Match of The Day starts (17:50 server time).

Who's your team? And what's today's category?

Accrington Stanley , so my interest in MoTD is more general. It would be fun to see Palace stay up (it would've been a lot more entertaining with Holloway still in charge, pretty disappointing to see Holloway and Di Canio go) and Arsenal win the title (just because it would be unexpected and Wenger is the only manager who's stayed at his job more than a few years, I don't care one way or the other about Arsenal)

A song from Asia or Oceania.

We want reveal!

Twenty minutes!

I'm just shoring up the order at the top, then will follow a smooth and uninterrupted reveal.

I was surprised that some people had difficulty with this. After all, it is two whole continents and a bunch of stuff immediately springs to my mind for it.

It was inspired by this band:



I didn't know there was a video for it until right now. I didn't even know it had been released outside of Japan, and yet there are white people in this video.

I found it randomly on Beatport, the iTunes of dance music, whilst looking for The Music Sounds Better With You by Stardust. Weirdly, it's only one there and iTunes (in the UK at least) on compilations. What I did find though, was Elmio's cover.

More people should cover house classics.


This is also amazing:



He's a video game composer whose worked on a few big franchises.


If I was to go for Oceania then, apart from Seeking which I posted for the first question, it would probably be this:

Pretty sure I will score low again. Maybe one category left where I am not in bottom half.

In 17 place scoring one point is...

In 16th place scoring two points is...




Yup, you were right.

Not last!

You could put more than one answer in the same post if you have already ranked them.
