Re: Overlooked Songs 2: Round 1 Week 5 (open until 1/1)
So many songs I love that I'll have to vote against this week...that Take Me Home, Country Roads vs. This Corrosion match is brutal. At least my own nomination (Rez) is facing off against another song I love, so if it fails to move on like I expect, at least there's something I'm fine with taking its place. Like last time, there's more I'm excited about in the 2000-3000 range than the 1001-2000 range.

The Pipettes - Pull Shapes (very very very very veeeerrryyy close)
Kurt Vile - Wakin on a Pretty Day
John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads (which is odd, 'cuz I usually hate John Denver and enjoy what I've heard by Sisters of Mercy - including "This Corrosion" - but "Country Roads" makes me happy every time I hear it)
Beach House - Zebra (although I'm pleasantly surprised to hear a good Herman's Hermits song)
Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
Blur - Tender (though it had a very good match)

Patti Smith - Piss Factory
vs.
Underworld - Rez...but I wouldn't honestly listen to either one by choice.
Rush - The Spirit of Radio
vs.
The Pipettes - Pull Shapes..Really liked the girl group pop meets disco vibe of the latter but "Spirit" is my favourite Rush track
Frankie Knuckles - Your Love
vs.
Kurt Vile - Wakin on a Pretty Day Not a techno fan but Vile didn't make much of an impression either
John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads
vs.
Sisters of Mercy - This Corrosion
Beach House - Zebra
vs.
Herman's Hermits - No Milk Today
Luther Vandross - Never Too Much
vs.
Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight ARGH! Tasty liquid soul from Luther, largely overlooked (by the general public at least) singer/songwriter great from the Thompsons..can't I toss out the Patti Smith and vote for both? No?!? Fine...
Blur - Tender
vs.
Brook Benton - Rainy Night in Georgia The Blur is pleasant but can't compete with one of the most soulful vocals ever recorded.
Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me
vs.
Elvis Costello - Veronica A snappy pop ditty from Mr. MacManus loses out to the tangible ache in Raitt's vocal.

I'm pretty sure the John Denver song in the playlist is a re-recording, and this is the original:

Re: Overlooked Songs 2: Round 1 Week 5 (open until 1/1)
3. Patti Smith - Piss Factory vs. 9. Underworld - Rez
Rez is a good dance track, but the poetry delivery of Patti Smith is really unique, even over forty years later.
6. Rush - The Spirit of Radio vs. 7. The Pipettes - Pull Shapes
Two good choices, but the rock fan in me wins out.
14. Frankie Knuckles - Your Love vs. 10. Kurt Vile - Wakin on a Pretty Day
Though Wakin on a Pretty Day overstays its welcome somewhat I get more out of it than out of Your Love.
2. John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads vs. 4. Sisters of Mercy - This Corrosion
A tough choice, but Take Me Home, Country Roads has been a mainstay in my personal playlists for a long time and I guess the extra memories make it hard to vote against here.
5. Beach House - Zebra vs. 8. Herman's Hermits - No Milk Today
No Milk Today is fun 60's pop with a great melody, but Zebra is a good example of the beauty Beach House is capable of.
16. Luther Vandross - Never Too Much vs. 1. Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
The easiest choice of the week. Luther Vandross isn't my cup of tea, while I love the mood of I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight, a personal favorite.
11. Blur - Tender vs. 12. Brook Benton - Rainy Night in Georgia
Two decent songs, that I appreciate without feeling a deep connection. Tender seems more unique to me, although Benton does have a great voice.
15. Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me vs. 13. Elvis Costello - Veronica
Like the last matchup these are good, but not amazing to me. But I do easily prefer the rock edge of Costello to the slowness of the Bonnie Raitt track.
