Curious which one will get picked. I'll probably check out all of them except one lol.

Had no clue Jimmy Eat World was still making music. They sound exactly the same in this song as they did 10 years ago lol.

John Lucas is christian singer/songwriter music - I'm not religious myself but I love this guy's vocals.

Afrojack is from The Netherlands. We lived in the same city for 12 years and he did Paris Hilton. Not my cup of tea but thought I'd go with something different.

The Strokes are quite alright, but an entire album idk. I absolutely love this song.

Biffy Clyro rock.

Jimmy Eat World is the type of music that douchy frat boys put on to hook up with a drunk college girl. Easy pass.

Now I want to know who voted this :P

5-way tie now lol

I quite liked the JEW song. Their last 3 albums each had 10+ songs that sounded exactly like this one though o_O I used to be into the Clarity and Bleed American albums and the 23 song but lost interest afterwards tbh.

I can break the tie if needed, I didn’t vote myself but after some more research I do have a preference for some over others lol.

Actually I’d prefer John Lucas but ppl will find it too slow I think, based on his earlier work. And y’all hated on Poo Panes soooo... He’s an independent artist with a small fan base. In comparison, The Strokes and JEW have 7.3 and 4.3 million monthly listeners on spotify, John has 210k.

The Biffy album, while this song is good imo, has so much filler it’s most likely terrible. Afrojack is garbage but wanted to see if you guys were up for something completely different :P

Alright, I voted The Strokes and John Lucas. Will listen to both anyway. I guess Wikey can break the tie if he hasn’t voted yet :p

I guess it is official?

Listening for the first time and so far it's quite good. Wondering if some songs will get old/boring real quick. P sure Bad Decisions will be one of those, it's very repetitive?
I really really like At The Door, might as well become my favorite The Strokes song. Some songs are v danceable.

Oh nice, Not The Same Anymore sounds like old skool Strokes. Liking it!

Whoa! Was there a nomination thread?

We changed the setup last month, it's no a longer a free for all with nominations. Just having one person nominate each month now, so that everybody can get a go. Here's the running order from here on:

May: Merc
June: Ahoda
July: Mads
August: Lamps
September: Spin
October: Mittens


I’m all for finishing this btw. Not sure what happened to Wikey but I can host the last two rounds if anyone is interested?

Spin’s turn would be in October and Mittens’ in November.

Would just need 5 albums from Spin and i can start the poll on Saturday when I’m back home.

Yeah whatever is fine with me! I hate that you had to sit through our stuff and didn’t get a turn yourself lol. But leaving this dead/on hold is also OK with me!
