Grab Bag Walrus - Reveal Thread

It was originally meant for Jalfrezi’s category until I saw yours. I guess i made a bad switch. I legit think Poly Styrene was incredible.

I am nailing this thing.

Alright, one more, then we can get to the better stuff.

In 8th place, scoring 5:

A to B by Gliss

This made me think of something you would have seen on the Pure Moods collection back in the 90s. Perfectly listenable and pleasant, but not a whole lot more to it. Technically rock, but its a stretch to call it much more than “Technically” rock.

Unoffensive and semi-listenable is about the best I can say for it. It can be on in the background while I’m doing something else and Ill generally not even realized I listened to it.

Sounds like Le Tigre. I’ve liked these first ones so far.

Erm… @CanadaMatt3004…I think there should be 13 entries?

Lol, you’re right. No worries, the one I was missing from my list would not have hit the bottom 5, so just bump everything back a place.

And I get 8th place while writing a post in response to the previous song.

Posting confirmed to curse you.

Alright lets move into the section called “Hey, remember the 90’s? Cause these bands do!”

Luckily, I enjoy the 90s so these scored fairly well.

In the real 8th place, Scoring 6 points.

Gravity by The Superjesus

Damn it, when I saw “The Superjesus” I was REALLY hoping for something that would just blow me away.

I liked this, but it doesn’t live up to Superjesus. When I was listening to this, I could not stop hearing Like a Prayer by Madonna. Listen for it and let me know if you think I’m crazy or not, but I swear there are parts that sound like they are directly lifted from it (sans the lyrics of course.)

Anyway, got off track there. This is good, I enjoyed it, but its the least of a pretty ok bunch coming up.

In 7th place, scoring 7 points -

Ship to Shore by Stars

This is less 90’s than the others in this group, but this is where they had to go and I wanted some cohesion.

I like this a lot. Very toe tappy and easy to listen to, and the chorus is fun and memorable and easy to sing in your head as the day goes on. Not a ton to say otherwise. Nothing super inventive or interesting but it has that earwormness that I like in my songs.

5 minute break. Don’t fear the curse, talk amongst yourselves.

I’m the median line, I guess. Ship to Shore is mine. Better than 10th!
