Great winner - this is a firm favourite of mine.
I could have also used it as an entry in my own category as I can remember exactly where I was when I first heard it, driving home on the road from London to Brighton after a night out
Driving through the countryside in the dark with music loud enough to make your ears bleed is one of my favourite things

I was going to say no way that Arrested Development deserves to be below Staind but I ended up turning the AD song off so maybe (didn’t bother listening to Staind).
Glad seities enjoyed 9th through 7th because I didn’t really like anything there.
OK now we’re talking, this is good!
This song shreds but honestly I’m tired of music that sounds like this.
This is one of my coworker’s favorite bands. Good song but I still have Undertones as no.1.
This goes on for 7 minutes? Kudos to you for listening the whole way through and I guess giving it first place.
Edit: OK it’s growing on me a little as it goes on, maybe it does just need a few listens.

I love your days/weeks later category rails. It’s like 6ix, but for Walrus.

I think everything’s in hand for kick off in half an hour or so. Child still perilously awake, but surely soon unconscious.

The virtue? of my submission is that you can listen to it once and feel like you’ve listed to it 5 times, so actually it was a time saver, you’re welcome!

So, for the rail, I asked for long songs.
Why would I have done this? Wasn’t it stupid?
Well, probably it was, but in these days of endless home working I listen to music a lot anyway, and I wanted to pick a category where you were almost forced to send me something I would find a little bit interesting. I’ve always liked long songs.
I was particularly hoping for songs by bands that don’t normally do that sort of thing. Get them outside their comfort zone and forced to do something different. I realised when I was younger that those were the songs (or parts of songs) I loved the most, and tracking down stuff that always sounded like intros or outros or weird long or short songs opened up new worlds back when they weren’t just a spotify click away.
I got a few examples of that, and also some happy to just go where the sound required. Well done!
What might I have submitted? Obviously as a seasoned Walrus professional that would have depended on who asked, but here’s a song I’ve often thought the peak of its class, Moya by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Just shy of eleven minutes of epic rock genius.
