    That helps quite a bit, actually, and makes sense.

    Now, someone rate my song! I don't care if it gets a 0, though I always hope a song is enjoyed.

    Alright, if no one want to rate that, how about this?

    I was staying out of it to give someone else a chance, but wotthehell...


    The Opeth thing, I thought, was a perfectly serviceable - if slightly long - ballad, though there's a chord change around the 2:55 mark which was a nice idea but which didn't work in practice. It's one of those things which, played on an acoustic guitar in your hotel room, sounds unsettling and cool, but with an entire band in tow comes over as heavy-handed and a tad contrived. 5/10

    The Bach was pretty good - made me want to pour a kir royale and read the Sunday papers in the garden. We should bear in mind that Bach was actually Mozart - which is more than can be said for Mozart who was not, in fact, Mozart. 8/10

    Lucrative though it must have been to join the bloody awful Eagles, I'd say that that move was the end of Joe Walsh as a creative artist. Not that this is immortal music, but it's pretty special American blue-collar-stoner rock'n'roll.

    No way! That's the best part.

    As to your song, it was perfectly described, and while enjoyable, it went on a bit long, I think. 6/10.

    Something a little different from me.

    Not desperately memorable, to be honest. 4/10

    I've never heard of XTC or that song, and it was quite interesting, MarkBastable. Not really to my taste, but I've never heard anything like it. If I was to describe it as a physical being, I would say that it was a modern art piece made of black onyx. Most intriguing.

    Not one of my favorites 4/10 -- the line "no one knows what it's like to be hated" sounds just too whiny-teen for me to get beyond.

    Song here sort of describes my mood right now:
    Lonesome, On'ry And Mean.
    “Oh crap”
    -- Hellboy

    Not awful, though it does sound like Yes auditioning Simon le Bon. 5/10


    This is going back a bit. So there's a shock.

    I like, but not a fan of vocals and lyrics 8/10.

    I can't take Tom Petty, although Free Fallin' isn't one of the worst of his songs. 3/10

    I liked that - unpretentious, homespun and fun. 8/10

    Uncharacteristically for me, an instrumental.

    Well, grats on posting a link to the song with least views. Who is Waverly? Wikipedia came up with nothing (that matched, at least).

    In any case, I found it's oddity a bit charming, but an overal extremely ponderous piece with no real pay-off. 4/10.

    Saw this performed Friday night, and it gave me goosebumps.
