Prince - Purple Rain






I think Prince gets a bit too much love around these parts, never been that gone on his stuff tbh. That being said this is very good… far far too long though, it would have been grand at half the time. Not sure if it’s blues but sure I haven’t a clue what is so it’s good enough for me

[ShaneU]

@Shane - I'm pretty sure it was you who introduced me to a great blues album earlier this year, I hope you've picked one off that

No idea, tell me when the round is over

Rolling Stones - Prodigal Son






This feels a bit upbeat for being a bluesy type track but again, what the heck do I know. I liked the track enough to stick it here. I’ll take my flogging publicly at the stocks tomorrow morning.

Neowise

David Gogo - This Is A Man's World






Well this is surely blues, just look at the video title!! One I’m definitely familiar with. Very much enjoyed this, I think it would probably be a little higher if it wasn’t just a tad too long. Nice entry.

[Kol]

I don't do blues either so was just happy to find a song to submit. I wouldn't say Purple Rain is traditional blues but I guess it's kinda blues.

[E.N.]

I'm a bit worried that you've already called two others "a bit long"

The Black Keys - Going Down South







Start of the track kind of reminds me of Stuck in The Middle With You. Really like the beat behind the track, I can ignore that the singer’s voice annoys me I like the riff that much tbh. Here is a fair placing imo.

Cream - Sunshine of Your Love






Again, I’ve no idea if this is actually blues… seems a bit rocky to be bluesy? Anyways I really liked this track. Was kinda open minded going into this but the guitar riffs are winning me over more than anything so far anyways…

Then again, maybe not... I was a bit worried earlier on when some of Necro's comments implied Blues shouldn't be up-tempo... Spent a lot of time in Blues bars when I was over in the States a few years back and it was much more common to hear something with a bit of umph to them than what people may stereotypically perceive to be Blues.

Glad you enjoyed it Necro.

Rachel Stevens has closed the gap on Neowise to a single point with a round to go. Liz and E.N. are 5 points back and still within touching distance of the title as well...

aaronjennings and Diamonds are currently battling for the spoon but only 8 points seperate bottom from 4th place so that could all change yet...

Squid - Narrator





Kinda similar to the Offspring in the way this dude sounds… didn’t really like this one though unfortunately. Very, very shouty.

[Spears]

Ah bummer I'm late to the party ..

[E.N.]

Ah well, that was short lived. Knew it was risky but I genuinely think that's an incredible song, love it. It is shouty though

Shawn James - "Through the Valley"






Bit slow and pondering, after the blues round I just wanted something more upbeat I think. Good track, but not one I’d revisit too often.

Ah here! I think that a brilliant song. tut tut...

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know






This is one I’m familiar with, I’ve never been sure whether I liked it or not so was good to have to sit down and make that decision. Our survey says… I do! Not as much as other tracks, but definitely enough to place comfortably here.

S Club 7 - Show Me Your Colours






I’m probably going to have a row with the entrant now but I prefer the more upbeat S Club songs, I think they sound a bit too generic when doing more serious songs like… erm… show me your colours. Still a decent track mind you.
