Feel free to ask questions of people in the thread about music preferences or about their category.


Let's set a deadline of June 15th to submit although we can go quicker if people want. I don't know what's realistic for people right now.


To submit, just pm me a list of 8 entries (enter every category but your own and don't send me your entry for me) in one pm with "Walrus Thread 1" in the subject (since there are 2 games going on).

Include for each entry:
Artist Name
Song Name
Youtube Link


Once I receive all entries, i'll randomize order and send everyone the entries for their category.

Then everyone will listen to their entries and rank them and reveal them in this thread sometime in the weeks following.

someone please volunteer to take entries for my category. Each person will pm me 8 entries and pm their entry to my category to this other person.

nich, give me a sense of your general taste...

hate: hiphop/country
love: rock/newwave/lite rock/easy listening/fusions of things

if you panda iwht something i've heard a million times you will be docked a lot of points. Mainly because lots of songs I've heard a lot i like a lot less than i used to.

My general taste in order: Symphonic metal, singer-songwriter, alternative and hard rock, 90s rap (especially southern), classic rock, 80s love songs, late 90s/early 00s country

is that things you like nich?

Yeah, edited to add thag

wow that's quite the combo

Sure I can

bloo, by pace you mean tempo? like a song that keeps changing?

yes

as an obvious example, Bohemian Rhapsody has three clear changes of pace in it

things i like: loud girls with guitars, rough-edged country, synthpop, hyperpop, indie pop, indie dance, dance rock, non-ambient electronica, punk, postpunk, jump blues, non-cliched lyrics, quirky stuff, catchy stuff, smart stuff with a sense of fun or humor

things i am unlikely to like: super ponderous indie folk, anything R&B or soul, anything symphonic (metal or otherwise), anything screamo, most high bpm EDM, Top 40 pop, mainstream country, mainstream hip hop, classic rock, arena rock, hard rock, hair metal, smooth jazz, anything very slick and produced

Bump to remind people this still exists

So send 8 entries to Nich, and Nich's entry to eleanor60?

Yep

and I’m traveling until tomorrow evening so you get a bonus day

putting together my submissions for both walruses and will finalize by tonight/tomorrow

+1

didn't someone give an example song from Led Zepplin in one of these thread or am i going crazy?

I found it!

Who's Lead Zeplin?

Behind where I want to be on this. I've found a few songs but am struggling on a couple of categories.

Hopefully we're not all just waiting on me. How is everyone else doing?

Sorry- behind on this and finishing up too
