Sorry, don't think I'll get to this until after Christmas.
After a year out, I've got another job lined up for the new year (I'm relieved and devastated!) but have loads to sort for it before Christmas

If I'm behind everyone else I'm happy missing out

If you have any time, just post a guess of whom submitted if not no hassle, real life takes priority, good luck with the new job @E.N.

I will leave open until I get a few more votes and guesses

[jp liz v1]

@ShaneU @Neowise @Homer J. Fong and anyone anyone else who wants to guess plus vote please do maybe @Leg End Reject get tagging all

[Spears]

Chayce Beckham - 23 - 3 - Spears

I take it your still not a converted Country fan!? 

[Neowise]

@ShaneU    @Neowise  @Homer J. Fong  and anyone anyone else who wants to guess plus vote please do maybe @Leg End Reject  get tagging all

watching and wondering when is the best time to pounce. very much a strategy game with the timing.

[Spears]

Might it be better for players to at least vote on thread the song scores. Then maybe PM Liz their quesses as to who submitted each song??

Liz can reveal their guesses afterwards.

I twould get the game moving

[jp liz v1]

If ye want to pm which ever suits is fine by me, just hope to get in some more votes and guesses

[RSOAPS]

• Daughtry - 9/10 (Spears) - normally I find Daughtry incredibly overrated, but this song is pretty good to be fair
  
• Matrix - 1/10 (Neowise) - I felt like I was being clubbed to death by boredom alright, this one wasn't for me at all
  
• Stevie Nicks - 10/10 (RSOAPS) - absolute banger, who doesn't love a bit of Stevie Nicks
  
• Tom Jones - 6/10 (jluv) - it's not unusual for me to enjoy a bit of Tom Jones, and while this one didn't do much for me, decent enough
  
• Taylor Swift - 8/10 (Shane) - there are better songs from either artist that could've been picked, but feck it, it's catchy
  
• Cheers - 6/10 (jluv) - it's fine, somewhat nostalgic, just not very exciting, very middle of the road for me
  
• The Sounds - 10/10 (RSOAPS) - bit of catchy energetic Indie, was on one of the Rock Band games back in the day, always a fun one to play along to
  
• Honky Tonk Angels - 8/10 (Neowise) - solid melody, easy to sing along to, pretty good tune
  
• Pat Benatar - 8/10 (Kol) - not one of my favourite Benatar tracks, but good enough for a relatively high score
  
• Santana - 10/10 (Shane) - it's a classic for a reason, 'nuf said, all the points
  
• Temple of the Dog - 8/10 (Homer) - it's alright, nice melody, it actually grew on me as the song went on
  
• Paddy Dennehy - 10/10 (E.N.) - the chorus is a beast, really elevates the whole song to top notch status
  
• Chayce Beckham - 10/10 (Spears) - my kind of song, great stuff
  
• Secret Garden - 10/10 (Homer) - it won for a reason, epic tune
  
• Paddy Dennehy - 10/10 (E.N.) - I do like Paddy Dennehy, another solid choice
  
• Kane - 10/10 (Kol) - pleasantly surprised by this one, was expecting something very very meh
  

Just went with my initial feelings having listened to each song, for the scoring... More 10's than I expected, and relatively high scores all around, liked the majority of 'em...

Hi @Homer J. Fong

[Homer J. Fong]

Theme: Reality show
Song: Daughtry - Artificial
Verdict: It's ok but not really something I'd listen to out of choice.
Score: 5/10
Guess: Spears

Theme: Movie OST
Song: Rob Dougan - Clubbed to Death
Verdict: First two minutes are great but then I start to get a bit bored.
Score: 6/10
Guess: Kol

Theme: 80's Pop or Rock
Song: Stevie Nicks - I Can't Wait
Verdict: Love Stevie's voice but don't know much of her solo output. Not sure if I heard this before, chorus reminds me a bit of Hall & Oates's "Out of Touch".
Score: 8/10
Guess: RSOAPS

Theme: Tom Jones
Song: Tom Jones - If He Should Ever Leave You
Verdict: Not a big fan of Tom's voice but the song is quite good, would prefer it with someone else's vocals though. Bonus point for not picking the obvious.
Score: 7/10
Guess: Homer

Theme: Taylor Swift or Pink
Song: Taylor Swift - Shake It Off
Verdict: Great song but very much low-hanging fruit (minus one point!   ). Would've liked to hear something a bit less well known.
Score: 8/10
Guess: ShaneU

Theme: TV Theme
Song: Theme from Cheers
Verdict: I've never watched Cheers so the show itself has no bearing on my score here. It's a nice enough tune, although "your husband wants to be a girl" was a bit of an unexpected lyrical turn!
Score: 7/10
Guess: Neo

Theme: About a country
Song: The Sounds - Living in America
Verdict: 
"Mom can we get Kim Wilde?"
"No, we have Kim Wilde at home."
Kim Wilde at home:
Score: 5/10
Guess: RSOAPS

Theme: Country and Irish
Song: Honky Tonk Angels - Hush Hush
Verdict: All I'll say about this one is that "it could have been worse". Bonus point for getting in the Christmas reference.
Score: 4/10
Guess: jluv

Theme: Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
Song: Pat Benatar - Promises in the Dark
Verdict: Aside from "Love Is a Battlefield" (obviously an absolute CHOON)  I don't know much by her. Sadly this one didn't do a whole lot for me, although it might grow on me more with repeated listens. Fantastic voice anyway.
Score: 6/10
Guess: Kol

Theme: Grammy Winning Song
Song: Santana - Smooth
Verdict: I wouldn't say I dislike this song but it's a bit overplayed for me, to the extent where I wouldn't be particularly pushed if I never heard it again. It's just....there.
Score: 6/10
Guess: Neo

Theme: Seattle Grunge Rock Song
Song: Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike
Verdict: I do like me some grunge but I hadn't heard this before. Very Pearl Jam-esque (because it is Eddie Vedder singing, duh!) Yeah, I'd play this again.
Score: 7/10
Guess: jluv

Theme: Wedding/First Dance Song
Song: Paddy Dennehy - Heaven Not Far
Verdict: Not familiar with the artist. Certainly fits the category. Quite a nice song.
Score: 7/10
Guess: EN

Theme: American Country
Song: Chayce Beckham - 23
Verdict: The lyrics make me feel old. Not much to say about it otherwise. Didn't hate it but wouldn't be putting it on a playlist.
Score: 5/10
Guess: Spears

Theme: Eurovision winner
Song: Secret Garden - Nocturne
Verdict: Hell yeah! Beautiful song, and a reminder that Eurovision isn't all about cheesy pop and campy staging but has some proper gems to offer.
Score: 10/10
Guess: Homer

Theme: Song by Irish artist
Song: Paddy Dennehy - Are You Still My Girl
Verdict: The Paddy Dennehy tracks have to have been the same submitter, right? Like that can't be coincidence that a not very famous artist would appear twice? Anyway I quite like this, think I prefer it to the other one.
Score: 8/10
Guess: EN

Theme: Wrestling theme
Song: Kane - Slow Chemical
Verdict: Never been into wrestling so have nothing to compare this to. It's fine, I guess. Was ready to write it off but it did grow on me a bit in the final minute or so.
Score: 6/10
Guess: ShaneU
