Breaking this up into short listening sessions, we have a contender after the first 4 tracks...

How's everyone dealing with point allocation?

Planning on 5, 4, and 3 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively.

From what I can work out, you have 12 votes, to use as much as you want, but can up vote by 2. So you could vote for 6 songs giving them 2 up votes. or any other combination with your votes (but only 2 up votes per song)

@Steve ah ok! Good to know

[jerkules]

Never heard that Sonic Youth cover, loved it. Good shout whoever that was.

[AdamJ]

@jerkules the naming and shaming comes at the end!

[Steve]

looking forward to the 'Guilty Pleasures' choices!!! Thats defo anonymous!

[T4920]

Holy shit! Supernaut goes hard

[SKT]

Voting for yourself is off the table. There goes my plan.

@Alex like Phoebe Bridgers too

[goosehd]

I’ve listened to a 1/3 of the playlist so far. Nice job guys!

[SKT]

Votes submitted. This is awesome… getting into new music is a joy for me. Also that Cactus tune rocked my shit.

Thanks @mclaincausey

[Matt]

Dude, that one was standing out for me as well.

[SKT]

And totally new to me. How did I not know of them?! Damn

[goosehd]

That was a fun round and had some great music in it…thanks for doing this.

SongShift does a good job of shifting playlists from Spotify to other services (in my case ) if you have a free account like me and can't handle the commercials or limited skips through songs you already know.

Side-note: my voting philosophy isn't "best" cover, but most interesting, which means something I may not have heard or a particularly creative reinterpretation. So there are some songs that I absolutely love that will not get an upvote in favor of a song I may like less but find a more interesting submission.

Amazed at how prompt y'all are in voting!

[SKT]

^ this was basically my criteria too

[mclaincausey]

Fuck man I think I failed to upvote that Cake War Pigs cover and meant to. Anyway my votes are in. Impressive first round playlist!

[SKT]

I put one in for Cake. Underrated band I believe

[mclaincausey]

I love them and the cover met my standard for creative reinterpretation but that one slipped.

It would be hard to vote for an undeserving song though, a strong round, which did not surprise me.

[Mizmazzle]

I 100% gave that Cake Sabbath cover top bill. Was saving three points to give but was limited to two. Two of my favorite bands coming together as one!!

[Mizmazzle]

Also glad to see that Sturgill In Bloom get the props it deserves!
