And...we’re back! My apologies for the delay. Life kind of happened, so results took longer than anticipated. Sorry everyone! So let’s skip the fluff and go straight to my and Becksta20 comments.
lukesurvives: Dancing Queen by ABBA
T: Definitely a classic, but it isn’t something I’m super into. It is fun and catchy though, so points for that.
B: it’s ABBA… I have a place in my heart for the ABBA songs I listened to growing up. This is probably just beaten out by the other ABBA submission but I do enjoy this song.
valgarfield: Barracuda by Heart
T: I dig some Heart. They really go hard, and I love that about them. This song really just takes me back to my guitar hero days.
B: I’ve never been a huge fan of this song. I’ve listened to it again and I kinda like the message but I still don’t overly enjoy the song.
Mrkk: Dream On by Aerosmith
T: This isn’t my favorite Aerosmith song. I mostly just find this to be kind of boring. There are some cool guitar licks that brighten up the song a bit, but overall, it’s not my favorite.
B: I like most of this song… until Steve Tyler takes it to that next level, it could do without that. I also loved it being used by Eminem many years later!
kingjames13: Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
T: Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t like this song.
B: This is an iconic song. I love Freddy and this masterful piece of work has lived throughout the decades!
BBlover96: September by Earth, Wind & Fire
T: Classic. Iconic. It has soul, it has funk, it has everything.
B: I do love this song. I also like the Taylor cover of it of course!
vanitysmurf: Living for the Love of You by The Isley Brothers
T: This song is honestly such a vibe. I love how smooth and soulful this is.
B: I haven’t heard this song before and can’t say I’m a huge fan!
chels052_: Come Sail Away by Styx
T: I’m not sure if I was confusing this for a different song, or if I just hadn’t heard it in so long that I forgot what it sounded like. I do like how dynamic the song is, but it’s not something I’d continue to listen to.
B: This is one of those songs I forget that I know until I hear it and I’m like oh yeah! Good pick.
galaxies: I Want You Back by The Jackson 5
T: I do enjoy this song. The baseline is solid, and I’m all about that. Not my favorite Jackson 5 song, but it’s a nice choice.
B: THIS is exactly what I wanted from this round! You literally hit my mood bang on!
joshgillespie: Mamma Mia by ABBA
T: This song was kind of cute. I found the “tick tock” melody in the background to be a little overwhelming and kind of annoying. But you can always count on ABBA to deliver a fun, feel good song.
B: Here I go again… ABBA… I do enjoy this song! It just feels a bit more fun than the other ABBA submission!
cheritaisdelicious: Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
T: This is one of those songs, where I have to be in a pretty specific mood for. This definitely scratches that acoustic itch. Whenever I have that itch, I’ll definitely remember this song.
B: This is one of the best songs you’ve picked in this competition (in terms of my taste). It’s not quite where I wanted to be taken but I love the song nonetheless.
carolinasteele: Into The Void by Black Sabbath
T: I really enjoyed this. I feel like I would’ve liked it more as an instrumental since I’m not super into Ozzy, but this is definitely something I’d come back to if I just wanted to vibe to some metal that isn’t too heavy.
B: I’m sorry, Black Sabbath is not it for me. I don’t know the song, I didn’t dislike it but it’s just not my thing.
#Cheritaisdelicious. Unfortunately, you were not able to beat #Galaxies this round, so we must leave you here in the 70s. Thanks so much for playing! We definitely appreciate you taking it upon yourself to embrace the early round obscurity points and introduce us to new songs <3
