AMF Survivor, Season 2: Qualifier Round, 1890s, Part 1

Post by Holden »

Welcome to AMF Survivor! In this game, we slowly eliminate songs following a theme until we have a winner! You have three days to pick your least favorite of the following songs. This season's theme is the Lowest Ranked Songs from each year. We are determining our final track list by going through each decade and finding our favorite songs from that decade. After we do that, we'll have thirteen songs, and fill our next seven songs with the closest runner ups from the qualifier rounds.

Here are your songs:

Vess L. Ossman | Yankee Doodle (1897)
Vess L. Ossman | A Bunch of Rags (1898)
Vess L. Ossman | Honolulu Cake Walk (1899)

These really aren't on Spotify so here are Youtube links:

Yankee Doodle: Songs
A Bunch of Rags: Songs
Honolulu Cake Walk: Songs

Chose your least favorite song or the song you wish to eliminate! You can change your vote throughout the three days of this round.

Yankee Doodle may be the most famous tune but it seemed to be the lesser of the three to me.

First off, I find it really cool to just listen to songs as old as this. Especially for a poll. I also read a bit about mr. Ossman and he was big in his time. Unfortunately, a lot of his recordings have racist titles - he made instrumentals of the so-called 'coon songs', which were extremely popular at the time.

The banjo playing is quite impressive still. A Bunch of Rags is pretty great and Honolulu Cake Walk is worth a listen too. Yankee Doodle suffers from a really rough sound quality, but it is also not as impressive a composition as the other two, if you ask me.
