@T4920 You’ll have to wait to find out what mine are into but thankfully it’s not K-pop

[Tago Mago]

@mclaincausey question for the admin (and I’m fully aware there may not be an answer): I’m lazy and don’t want to sift through every category to sort songs by player. Is there an option to compile playlists by individual player across all categories?

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago by chance the subject came up on a podcast I was listening to on my commute this morning. Apparently you can neutralise an earworm by writing out the lyrics on a piece of paper. No idea if it works but might be worth a try if they’re particularly egregious.

[SKT]

@T4920 Dawned on me that what they listen to might be more objectionable than k-pop for some. We’ll see

[mclaincausey]

@Tago-Mago not that I am aware of but that’s a great idea

[GraemeE]

I'm sure there are ways the categories could be improved but at the end of the day this game gives me a chance to talk about music and hear new things so, even though I'm holding up the bottom of the ranking, it's absolutely a win in my book

@endo said in Iron Heart Forum Music League:

@Graham has no guilty pleasures

Or too many

[chrisjohnnick]

I joined another open league as well. First round was "Songs you would use to introduce someone to a band or musician"

[Mizmazzle]

@chrisjohnnick that’s a great idea for a category!

[jerkules]

Agreed.

Couple of other potential categories: “Teenage Dream” - songs you that you loved as a teenager that you still love.
Or “Sexual Healing” - songs you use to seduce your partners (just cause I’ll take any help I can in that department)

[goosehd]

@jerkules Pro tip: This song will probably not work in your favour…

[GraemeE]

@jerkules I can't speak for the seduction category but in my experience going with deep cuts from either steely dan or rush will do the trick if you are looking for the opposite effect

[mclaincausey]

While Rush is absolute chick repellent, I haven’t found that to be the case with the Dan, but JJ Cale’s “Troubadour” is a nookie generating machine

[GraemeE]

@mclaincausey I think the repellent factor for the dan may be more due to having to hear a bunch of guys babble on to eachother about chord voicings or keyboard/guitar tones

I can neither confirm nor deny being a party to such shenanigans in the past....

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey don’t think there’s a JJ song out there that doesn’t put me in the mood for some lovin!

[Alex]

@steelworker think we are waiting on you

[Nocturama]

I hope many of you are indeed feeling guilty looking at the latest playlist, although I find it hard to believe we will generate a more enjoyable list throughout the whole competition - game on!

I’ve used the iPhone app SongShift to transfer the playlist to Apple Music - 2 minute job.

[Steve]

Thing is i dont don't feel guilty at all!

This theme has me wondering...
Will you be voting for songs you like, regardless of your embarrassment level ? Or, will you be voting for songs you'd be genuinely embarrassed to like ?
