The next song is by an artist who by now is as controversial as you can get. The song itself ranks on AM – sorta – as part of Trapped in the Closer (Chapters 1-5) at #5353. 621. R.

Queen – Tenement Funster: 5 It's odd that out of three Queen songs that have appeared here two of them did not feature Freddy Mercury on vocals. And really, it immediately doesn't sound like Queen anymore. This sounds like your standard early seventies hard rock song. Now I like this genre, but this...

Rob

Here is the third appearance by Queen, although it’s been a while. Their last song appeared all the way back in February 2019.

Hot R.S. – Slow Blow: 6

I couldn't figure out the imgsize... how does that work? Did you fix the image size with Live in Phoenix tip or not? I'm asking, because I think the images are too small for a visuals based poll like this. I know loading a page full of big pictures can be cumbersome, but these are so small that the...

I'm thinking that to honor Hymie for being a loyal and reliable participant in this project that there should be a "Hymie Week," where we vote on nothing but items from his list for 7 days in a row! Amazing idea! Sadly, the Randomizer makes rules. Ana Laíns – Quatro Caminhos: 7 Well sing, good tune...

Rob

You all probably noticed this guy Hymie voting here every day, but there was also a time he used to be a big provider of content for this game, with a song of his list appearing here seemingly every week. Today we get to relive such glory, with a new oldy from his list, the first in a long time. You...

I want to familiarize myself with more mythologies beyond the Abrahamic religions and Greco-Roman mythology but never know where to begin (and then there's finding time to do so...)

Duke Ellington – The Tattooed Bride: 8
I'm far from a Duke Ellington expert, but I have yet to hear something by him that is not great. Jazz magic from start to finish.

My reading time wavers immensily from month to month it seems. Since visiting Ireland last year I've become really fond of Irish literature. Something about their use of language in combination with a mischievous sense of humor clicks with me. Also, their myths are probably the strangest I have enco...

Sydney Forest – I’m Gonna Fly: 6 This type of bright self-empowerment ballad seemed to accompany every American children's movie in the nineties, so why not paste one onto a English dub of a Japanese film? To be fair, anime themselves are equally prone to using these type of songs to this very day a...

The next song is an odd one, as it was created for the English version of Kiki’s Delivery Service, but does not appear in all English releases of the film. As far as I can tell only people who saw the film during a specific window of time could have learned about it. It is not on Spotify as part of ...

Beck - Chemtrails: 6 Beck can be a tough one to rate every now and then. Chemtrails is one of those songs of his that is clearly original, well executed, but to me just not that engaging. I tend to like his more outspoken crazy stuff the most and this is not quite that, even if it doesn't make for a...

Look at our man Benny Goodman just dominating. Or did none of the participants hear his album? So, just after posting this I listened to his album, the complete 2 hour version that Spotify offers and it is damn great!

The Alan Parsons Project – Eye in the Sky: 5 A mild classic here. It is always present in the Dutch phenomenon the Top 2000 of Radio 2 and it seems to be loved by quite a few people, but I feel it is a missed opportunity.
