Quite surprised how well mine did, although it was clearly obvious who’d picked it! :grinning:

@phattrien you lost us both so many points :frowning:

Can I make a suggestion for the overall game? (Hope ok to post here.)

A thread suggesting categories? To either help someone who can’t be bothered, or is struggling, to think of 10. Or just to get great ideas for categories!

Some of this week’s could easily be repeated as well, in my opinion…

:+1: good stuff! He has quite a large discography and some of it really goes for it with the trance synths.

This was off an early album and may explain the poor levels it has on Spotify.

Any of his stuff is worth a listen but I would recommend his 2019 album The Density Parameter as a starter.

Apology not accepted

:disappointed_relieved:

Didn’t realise the Boys Next Door album was on Spotify finally. Not sure I’ve ever heard the whole thing as I can only remember a couple of tracks, though I’m not sure I’m missing much. Interesting how commercial they started out before turning into The Birthday Party and making violent post-punk noise.

Shivers is good though

Love how everybody laid into the Hard-Ons song AND YET IT STILL SCORED MORE POINTS THAN MINE

Could have got double Australia points with this version

Loving that Mr Bolus wasted two kingmaker votes.

Maybe stick them there eggs in more baskets next time?

Dunno I think I gained points. No way I was going to try and find an aussie artist not already picked once 40 odd people had already entered :joy:

Having said that no one did nick cave so…

think I was in a bad mood that day. do hate that type of music though

well i heard that type of music hates you!!! how’d you liek those apples!

Best live band I have ever seen, and I’ve seen a few.

The league is full of Philcollinsistines.

The Castle Face record last year was quite good but definitely listen to the earlier stuff first. Primary Colours (the album which had the song chosen (not by me)) is a massive banger).

Quite disappointed that (I don’t think) the person who chose the Divinyls was our in-house Cupcakke nominator as it’s kind of like a proto Cupcakke. Amazing it made it onto the radio 1 playlist.

Was tempted to go in two-footed on the Middle East song but decided that it was probably a good example of a genre that really isn’t for me. Feel somewhat vindicated that even the people who enjoyed it think that it’s twee and wet.

he wrote Shivers at 16?? Fuck sake
