Not surprised, it was a rather unique selection
Welcome to the lounge @Neowise , thanks for the interesting choices!!

[Necro]

Would have saved Neowise, was a better choice imo. But the ladies have spoken.

[Wichita Lineman]

The round you have all been waiting for, tomorrow is Rod Steward week

Thanks and see you all then

[Tauriel]

The Beatles and the Rod rounds were ones I struggled with as I don't listen to either. If the Beatles didn't take me down it was going to be Rod.

[RSOAPS]

I think I knew only 2 or 3 Rod Stewart songs before this game and didn't much care for any of them, so had to go looking for a new (to me) one I liked for this round. Found one that I quite like now in the end, but it was slim pickings

[ari101]

Tomorrow might finally be the round I don't squeak through... But it seems I'm not the only one thinking that way 😅🤣

[Kol]

Meatloaf bonus round? 

Noted for the next series   

[ari101]

I'm really not a Rod fan but there were one or two ok options in the end, though slim pickings from the remaining contestants. @Neowise was best of the day for me.

[Necro]

Meatloaf bonus round? 

Only if @Trigger is a guest judge, biggest Meatloaf fan going

[Declan A Walsh]

Rod Stewart did have some good songs a long time ago, but none of these I am afraid.Edit: Found one! His best period was actually the 1970s!

[Irish Aris]

Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought.
I never liked some of his big hits (like Baby Jane, Do You Think I'm Sexy etc.) but some of the selections here had an interest.

From the competition:
@Butty Brennan - because I love the original version by Bonnie Tyler
@Spears - has that nice 80s new wave sound - sounds vaguely familiar but I can't figure if I heard it before or someone "borrowed" it or covered it.
@ari101 - because it features Ms Dolly Parton
@Jluv - it was the second song I had in mind before deciding on his duet with Tina Turner
@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick - for the memories: It's from the Out of Order album I am pretty sure I had bought the cassette back in the day (I was 16 at the time)

From the lounge:
@Hello 2D Person Below - nice blues-y sound, something that early Stones had in their repertoire
@Neowise - same reason/album as RSOAPS above.
@Tauriel - not a huge fan of this version, but it's a song that has been covered nicely by Everything But The Girl etc.

[Spears]

Well I had below zero interest in this round & only put a smidgen of effort into it.

I've been surprised in other games with acts that I'm not into, so I'm open to the challenge & I look forward to the other submissions. But this round did nothing for me I'm afraid. I just don't like his voice at all. 

Felt like not voting for any of them but I end up giving a few pity votes just so I didnt appear to be mea.n

I suppose if I was forced to listen to any of them again, @Irish Aris wasn't so bad with the help of Tina.

Loved the video for @DejaBoo's song.


The only good thing that came from this round was that we got it out of the way, & we can move on now 

[Declan A Walsh]

Rod Stewart did have some good songs a long time ago, but none of these I am afraid.Edit: Found one! His best period was actually the 1970s!

On further examination, I realized it was one of the contestants’ entries that was already gone, so back to no thanks!

[nothing]

I'm horrified.

I think I might enjoy Rod Stewart.

[aaronjennings]

I'm detecting some subtle hints that people around here don't like Rod Stewart, not sure what gives me that impression...

Jluv had IMO the best song of the surviving competitors, while Irish Aris was definitely the best song from the LL

[jp liz v1]

No Grace

[jp liz v1]

I do like the song from The Three Musketeers, all for one all for love

[Butty Brennan]

Spears had the best one today I wanted it myself but she got in there first.    I used to listen to it in vice city.

[RSOAPS]

I think most of Rod Stewarts songs are perfectly fine, but I mostly feel indifferent to his stuff, there's no wow factor in any of his music, it's all quite generic and I feel the same about most of them, so I struggled to give votes to any really.

The few standouts for me were...

@Jluv I forgot that it was Rod Stewart that did this one with Sting and Bryan Adams. Had I remembered, I probably would've submitted it myself, because it's a cracker

@aaronjennings please tell me you submitted this as a nod to Star Trek: Enterprise? I'm one of the few people who love the Enterprise theme song, so this was my favourite of the lot - would've gotten a vote if it were in contention for a round win

[aaronjennings]

You'll be happy to hear, that is the exact reason I submitted it That was the first version of the song I'd heard, didn't even realise it was a cover until years later. Absolutely love the Russell Watson version

I was today years old when I learned it wasn't originally written for Enterprise, and the Russell Watson version I could listen to all day long... It's one of those songs that feeds my soul...

[Declan A Walsh]

Two of my favourites:
The Killing of Georgie Parts 1 and 2


Hot Legs


Special mentions too to: Maggie May, I Don't Want to Talk About It (@Tauriel) and First Cut is the Deepest.
