Rule number 1 (we can't eliminate our own songs) scares me. I'm afraid the last remaining song is the one I like the less, the less "nicolesque" song if you see what I mean.

I was afraid the McCartney song would represent me and applauded it's dismissal. I proposed earlier that we can eliminate one of our own songs next time - sound good? Also- unfortunately, my favorite of yours is, I think, the one you like least, so I'll avoid your list for as long as I can!

[nicolas]

When you say next time, you mean in August? Well I got nothing against that song, I even like it, but it's more an average AMer favorite than my favorite (I'm talking about the New Order song, I dont think it is a secret to anybody)

Yes definitely August - probably start the list-posting on August 5th, that being the first Monday of the month!

[Blanco]

New Order - Age Of Consent (nicolas)
Yeah! That makes Leadbelly - Goodnight Irene (nicolas) the new song on the Random Rules Jukebox!

Here is IMO the best version of Leadbelly's "Irene" (a 1944 recording)

[nicolas]

Led Zeppelin- In My Time of Dying (Mattceinicram)
My least favorite of the reminding songs; a little too long and heavy, but great riff.

Beck - Guess I'm Doing Fine (Nassim)
If I guess right, I'm on the same page as Nassim regarding his chosen song (hopefully he wasn't referring to Beck, whose song here is excellent, but up against two monoliths).

Bruce Springsteen- Tenth Avenue Freeze Out (Mattceinicram)
Bob Dylan- Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (Mattceinicram)
Sonic Youth - Teenage Riot (Nassim)

I plan on kicking this off again on August 5th, with a couple minor changes: you can eliminate 2 songs each day (instead of one) from 2 separate submitter's lists until the full list is narrowed to 60 songs; then one each day going forward. In addition, you can eliminate one of your own songs (provided you submitted a list) at any time during the elimination period. Any feedback on these rules or anything else, feel free to let me know!

Nassim - I suspect you were rooting for Sabbath... am I right?

[Nassim]

Nassim - I suspect you were rooting for Sabbath... am I right?

I was, I really love this song, clearly my favorite by them (especially when following the also fantastic Supernaut)
Can't complain though, I love Teenage Riot too. I was quite lucky with my list, though it is strange that it doesn't feature any rap or electro song given how many of them I have

[Sweepstakes Ron]

Alright! I will be sure to listen to these songs (though I've heard the CCR song many times). And, as I mentioned before, I will submit my list for the next game!

Here's the spotify U.S. version of this month's Jukebox:

The Hold Steady - You Can Make Him Like You (live - from A Positive Rage) (Brad)
