I'm still calibrating the balance between what I'd choose for me and what I'd choose for the rest of you. I have a few ideas that I will surely forget several times and maybe remember again before I need to submit.

[T4920]

I've opted to stick to my favourite songs in each category. My taste can be a little eclectic, and I'd be surprised if many of them turned out to be genuine people pleasers, but I'll follow my heart til the end..

[ARNC]

@T4920 Eclectic is good. I'd say the same about my taste - my friends might use a less complimentary word!

I'll definitely choose stuff I like or that means something to me, but if other folks like it too that could help with scores, especially as I'm a round behind!

This is so much fun. Thank you @mclaincausey for coming up with it. Really enjoyed the first round. Congrats to @goosehd, love that track, remember when the unplugged session aired and we watched it on TV.

Greatest news for me was Cactus. Don’t know how and why, but I was complete unaware of them. Awesome stuff!

And, my mistake about the origine of that ‚Crazy‘ song is certainly inexcusable. Mixing up Gnarls Barkley with Willie Nelson, omg. I‘m open to harsh punishments like getting all points of round 1 retroactively denyed.

In an deplorable effort to get me out of this mess I‘m sharing here a playlist into which I‘ve shoveled all kinds of covers during the past year or two. Hopefully not making it worse, and some of you finding one or the other interesting.

@endo So glad you are digging the Cactus discovery, they are one band I would have loved to have seen live in the early 70’s!

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey the love of Panic is going to play a factor throughout this whole affair. Haha. However, only you and I and any other potential fanatics may pickup on the connections.

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 agreed! All choices of mine are genuine loves I have. Perhaps slightly culled in an attempt to hit a broader target audience….that attempt seemingly fell quite flat in that first round.

[mclaincausey]

They have some mighty fine instrumentals too @Mizmazzle

[goosehd]

I’m stumped…who is Gommel? What’s the user name here?

[scooter]

I've been all over the place, this round. Being a lover of all things guitar, I started out choosing a couple flat out shred fests, by 2 of my favorite virtuosos (Buckethead, Vai). But, it just didn't seem right to submit pieces that favor one instrument so heavily. So, I scrapped both. I managed to recall one that has always resonated with me. But, the second has been a revolving door. I think, I may be putting too much thought into this...

[scooter]

The next round is likely to give me fits, as well. I really don't have any guilty pleasures. I either like something, or I don't, and I really don't give a flying f@#! what anyone else might think about my musical tastes...

[Mizmazzle]

I have a couple guilty pleasure tracks in mind that I’m sure will garner me negative points more than likely!

[endo]

oh, I do have guilty pleasures and I‘m already begging your pardon

[mclaincausey]

Let’s try to explain our guilty pleasures in the comments, team

[GraemeE]

@mclaincausey - is there anywhere, after the round is completed, that shows the name of the person who submitted each song?

[jerkules]

@GraemeE scroll down to “Completed rounds” and click “Results”. Shows song choices and voting results

[GraemeE]

@jerkules thanks - I didn't scroll that far

I might be a little more cautious of my guilty pleasure choices now

[scooter]

Seeing the movie and television selections in the new playlist got me thinking, Linus and Lucy may have been a good choice for this round.

I think most of my faves are guilty pleasures. Im gonna have a hard time with that one.

[ARNC]

I keep telling myself there's no right and wrong in matters of (my) taste - yours, however ...

Anyway, I'm down to a shortlist of 4 I should probably feel guilty about!
