I'll tell him, but I guess you are too enthusiastic. I like Roy Orbison and CCR a lot too and my dad isn't into doo-wop either.

Yes, he does. I mean, most of his favorite stuff is from the sixties and seventies and if he likes recent stuff it is mostly rock-oriented, but still.
New Order - Senses: 6
Early New Order, still closer to Joy Division than to the sound that would come to define them. Kind of cool, but it doesn't stand out that much among the post-punk stuff that was big in those days.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - February 2021
They both relatively long and I never knew them personally. Apparently the one on my mother's side liked classical music and he sung in the church choir. That's all I know.
It should be noted though that they probably wouldn't have had the same taste as you as American popular music wasn't big yet when they were young. I think there are exceptions like Glenn Miller, but music like doo-wop or old blues didn't travel much. As far I can tell they would be more likely to have listened to Dutch pop and folk music.

I’m surprised that this conversation didn’t live and end with “Tell him he's got much better taste than you” already.

To be clear, I also interpreted Hymie's comments in good fun, including the "better taste" remark.Hymie wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 3:26 pmRelax Lotion. All in good fun.FrankLotion wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 12:51 pmWhat kind of bizarre pissing contest are you trying to make happen this time?

A bit too sweet for my tastes. Surprising considering the song title and the game art. Perhaps something is lost in translation, though.

Not super captivating and like most of Zombeels picks it is a more modern song extremely beholden to the sixties, but there is a darkness in the sound that I do feel appealing.

It probably depends on who you count, but it might very well be that this is the first song we have by a fictional artist. The song exist nonetheless.

An honest to goodness lullaby. Well, I guess every genre should appear once here. As for me, I'm not ready to go to sleep yet.

Stone Temple Pilots - Big Bang Baby 7
Yo La Tengo - Yellow Sarong 5
CCR - Ooby Dooby 3
New Order - Senses 7 I get the feeling this has potential to see its score rise in my estimation, especially as I'll finally get round to listening to Movement this weekend (don't know how I've let it become their only pre-breakup album I've not heard)

One of the better metal tracks that appeared here yet. Great rhythm, riffs and overall sense dark drama. I also find this style of singing much more palatable than the more current trend in grunting and growling.

Already has that dreamy, somewhat melancholy atmosphere that they would perfect on Deserter's Songs. On another note though: don't was your hair in a car wash. I strongly advice against it.
