Bryan Adams – She’s a Little Too Good for Me: 6
As far as Bryan Adams songs go this isn't too bad. The tendency towards sappiness is largely absent. Nothing too special, but good enough.

I seem to be a little off these days, because I thought I had posted today's song already. It's another classical piece from Dexter, but instead of the stately halls of Europe we now present you classical music from the American frontier! For once, the version in the playlist is actually Dexter's preferred version. If you don't have Spotify, look for the recording by Nicholas Collon and the Aurora Orchestra.

150. Aaron Coplan - Appalachian Spring: VII. Doppio Movimento (Variations on a Shaker Hymn - Simple Gifts)
Year: 1944
Composition: Appalachian Spring
Biggest Fan: Dexter (#358)

I had never heard of Shaker culture before, but I did immediately recognize the main theme here. Whether its from the tune Simple Gifts that inspired it or the classical piece itself. It certainly makes for one of the most wholesome sounding classical songs I've yet heard.

The third nomination by Moonbeam and still no Prince? Who is this imposter? Then again, it is a Eurythmics song, so I guess it is still typical Moonbeam.

151. Eurythmics – Conditioned Soul
Year: 1985
Album: Be Yourself Tonight
Biggest Fan: Moonbeam (#942)

Eurythmics – Conditioned Soul: 6
An okay Eurythmics song that showcases their sense of melody, even if I don't get why this of all things has an Asian motif. This band has done better though.

As a piece of electronic music it's quite good, but like Gillingham I feel the autotuned vocals take it down a notch. Still surprised that this comes from Romain's list.

Mileswide is one of the great wildcards for Biggest Fan. What has he cooked up for us today?
Edit: Mileswide is indeed a wild card, as he didn't want the regular version of the song. Go with the Trucker Sessions take.

153. Frank Turner - Photosynthesis (Truck Sessions)
Year: 2008
Album: The First Three Years
Biggest Fan: Mileswide (#60)

Sorry, Mileswide, but I personally very clearly prefer the 'original' release. This one is just too ugly in its shouting. The lighter touch of the other version works better for this song.

This wasn't available on NZ Spotify, and there wasn't an official version on YouTube. So I had to listen through a Tangled AMV on Youtube.

It’s only just over a week since we had a Bang Jan selection. This is his second-to-last eligible song. He proves just like Nick that Wilco is a band tailor-made for people who have few original songs on their all-time lists. So Wilco becomes the fourth artist to get two songs in this edition of Biggest Fan. To say nothing of that other Jeff Tweedy band Uncle Tupelo that we also saw rather recently. The song of today ranks on AM at #6378.

154. Wilco – Spiders (Kidsmoke)
Year: 2004
Album: A Ghost Is Born
Biggest Fan: Bang Jan (#149)
