Really strong playlist, lots of things deserving of points. I thought a certain song was going to run away with it but it’s actually not done that well (better than mine obvs but perfectly happy as always that people bothered listening to it).

#182

Trying to work out which song @theShipment picked because I don’t think he’s going to wake up in time to vote!

Yeah there was one song I didn’t give a point to and commented that it would already do well without my help, but surprisingly it hasn’t. Maybe lots of people thought the same way

#184

Ha, yeah, I’ve stopped dong this because of the times I’ve thought, oh this doesn’t need my points, then I vote and see it has four points or something

#185

I only do it as justification when I really need to narrow my choices down to 10

#186

Whilst we wait for the results to come in, anyone care to list their submissions so far? Might aid people in the side-game of guessing who submitted what when the round are live.

One thing I’m noticing from my selections is I haven’t got anything here earlier than 2009 other than the rounds where it was forced. Might try and balance that out in coming rounds. Otherwise I think I might actually make this into another playlist for myself, feel like I have a stronger connection to all of these tracks now that I have been rooting for them in competition.

This was one of my highlights of Music League so far, I genuinely couldn’t stop laughing at how bad it was (apologies if you actually like it).

I like going pretty new usually as I know there’s a contingent of people who might not find much modern music they enjoy, or who don’t have the time to keep up with things - so if I can introduce someone to an ongoing band who they get into then all the better!

Oh god no – but I wanted to be completely honest and not cheat the game for a ‘cooler’ track!

It still got more points than quite a few of my real choices…

#195

Oddly that is the only time I have given @spicer a point (which seems harsh looking at the list).

#196

Yeah, if my pick outscores Mistletoe and Wine then I generally consider it to have done well.
