@SKT Turtles is my favourite song of all time.

It'll always be tied to the one of the most amazing memories my life... I heard it for the first time whilst tripping on shrooms on an island in Indonesia, I went snorkeling as I was starting to come down and came face to face with a giant green turtle in the shallow water. Couldn't tell you how long I floated there, fixated on it, but by the time I pulled myself away I felt like knew the creature better than any of my friends or family members

I was too slow to sign up but I’m following at a distance. @T4920, listen to @GraemeE’s wisdom. Some time ago (I think I was still in my 20s) I played Headhunters while on holiday with friends. They said it was weird. I can no longer remember when I last saw any of them

[T4920]

@ARNC Nice to know y'all have taste in more than just clothing. Headhunters is one of my all time favourite records, but don't wanna take the piss when people already have 40 songs to listen to each round ahaha

[SKT]

@T4920 Now this is how you imprint a song! Great story

[mclaincausey]

@ARNC there is a slot left! Join us. You will miss only the first round.

Headhunters is one of the greatest albums I’ve ever heard. I love it!

[ARNC]

@mclaincausey thanks and done. I’m still getting to grips with Spotify but I’ll try to keep up

[mclaincausey]

Sweet! I mentioned above that there is a free app called Songshift that can move the Spotify playlist to your streaming platform of choice @ARNC if you find listening on a free Spotify account as insufferable as I do with the adverts.

[Nocturama]

@mclaincausey - do you mean Songshift? I could do with transferring the playlist out of (free) Spotify.

I suppose I should probably use your same logic and avoid dropping a 20 minute Godspeed You Black Emporer jam as well.....

[T4920]

@GraemeE storm crossed my mind as a potential pick

[T4920]

Finally submitted, that's a wrap for round one folks.

[T4920]

Congratulations to @goosehd and @IH-GARY for taking a decisive lead.

And commiserations to myself, for submitted the only song with zero votes ahaha..

[IH-GARY]

@T4920 Cheers Tom! However I fear I may have had my best round! I'm really looking forward to seeing all the picks in the future Guilty Pleasures round!

[T4920]

@IH-GARY Gonna be hard to resist the temptation to get some harsh noise music into the mix, or a 10 minute drone metal monolith

[goosehd]

Three songs really stood out to me and grabbed my attention:

1. Summer Breeze
2. Evil
3. Supernaut

All 3 of them are new to me and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them. Thank you for the new introductions

[T4920]

@Alex I Know The End might be my favourite closing track of all time!

[jerkules]

Great round, although surprised “Lost in Music” by The Fall didn’t prove more popular! Something about Mark E Smith covering Sister Sledge just makes me smile. Should’ve gone with my first choice which was “Changes” by Charles Bradley.

Instrumentals round is quite difficult, so much to chose from but hard to think of something that makes direct impact!

[Nocturama]

I stuck with my original choices in the end - my third and fourth choices were Nirvana (different song, same album) and the Futureheads track. What might have been…
Anyway, I’ve dialled in the audience now, so will be headed straight to zero votes in the next round! 🫣

[ARNC]

As I missed the first round, here’s one that you would have had. My other choice might give away my plans for a future round so I’ll keep it to myself!

The original post at the top of this thread has been updated with the Round 1: Covers results. Great round folks! On to Round 2: Instrumentals.
