I've been reluctant to do more of these because of slow response and lack of response but they're fun to do so I'll try another one.

Except for Jonathan Roy AF, you and I had these ranked almost the same top to bottom.

Sorry CB, because of my surgery, I wasn't able to give these too much love. Getting around better though and feeling more energetic, so... Keep 'em comin'.

I agree that Roy's voice is whiny, but the lyrics speak deeply to me of loss.

Flagging this to come back to in a couple of days when I should hopefully have the leisure to listen through them all.

Well the Lucy match has been up since December and is still being ignored.

I've been allowing slight variations of the title ever since I started these. The only reason I didn't add more songs without the s is everyone seems to be having a problem with having too many choices as evidenced by the lack of participation in the "Lucy" match.

Rival Sons - Wow. Liked this a lot.
Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Bodeans
Grand Funk Railroad - good, but not great.
Zedd and Kehlani
Jonathan Roy
Rich Boy

say no more.

I would keep these at around 6-8 songs max, because it is hard to give love to some of these that have 4 or 5 groupings.

I'd agree with VG on this. As much fun as it must be to find 15-20 different songs with the same title to run, they feel kind of overwhelming. Something like this with 6-7 at most is good

The way I pick these songs is that first I go with a song that I really like that I think most people are unfamiliar with and I want to make others aware of it. . In this case it was the Rival Sons track. Then I do a search on YouTube and another on Wikipedia. Then I do a quick listen to the songs to decide if they're worthy. I try to include songs that sound well done that aren't really in my wheelhouse and that's why I include rap songs and hip hop. in this case the only song I'd heard before I did WAS the Rival Sons track. I included the Zed and Khalani track because it came up on my YouTube feed first. I liked the video and thought it should be included.

1. Rival Sons
2. Jonathan Roy - his voice isn't perfect but neither are many of my favorite artists such as Dylan and Neil Young. I can get around voice imperfections to enjoy a good song.
3. Cherry Poppin' Daddies
4. Grand Funk Railroad
5. Bodeans
6. Rich Boy
7. Zed & Khalani

For the record I liked all those songs. I have a lot of black friends and it's fun to surprise them by showing a little knowledge of the music they like too.
