I wanted to post a montage of John Wayne saying "Pilgrim" but I couldn't find one.

Yeah, but I was looking for a montage from all his movies. Obviously he said it a hell of a lot in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

Eleven songs? Whew, this may take a while

Eleven songs and some pretty long ones at that.

Sarah Slean - wish the sound quality on the video were better, because what I heard I liked a lot.

MO - Maybe all the clapping brainwashed me, but I really liked this one.

Steve Earle & Del McCoury Band - Soulful and heartfelt. Don't know that I could listen to too much of this, but it was good.

Widespread Panic - More than decent

Pain of Salvation - Pretty firmly in the middle of the batch

Wolfmother - Kind of had a Beatles go heavy vibe going in places.

Kris Kristofferson - Melodically okay, but some interesting lyrics

Iron Maiden - Not exactly my style, but not terrible either

Wishbone Ash - It was interesting. I'm not quite sure I liked it, but at least it wasn't boring.

Enya - I usually enjoy her stuff more. She's still got the ethereal voice going for her, but this one did nothing for me otherwise.

Eric Clapton - I was expecting better of Clapton. This bored me silly.

This will take a while! And looking forward to it!

1- Wolfmother- I love Wolfmother's blend of current and throwback driving rock. This one is destined for the iPod.
2- Widespread Panic- Excellent sound and feel.
3- Steve Earle & The Del McCoury Band- What a pretty, heartfelt song!
4- MO- A poppy type song I really like! Very nice vocal performance, great song. I can imagine many different arrangements of the song from blues to heavy rock that I could like more, but enjoyed this one.
5- Iron Maiden- Projecting image over musical content gets thinner and thinner. Heart and creativity make great music, not putting on a tough face. Image is fine if the music backs it up, but its not enough when all your songs are the exact same formula.
6- Wishbone Ash- I love Argus, but actually have never heard anything from this album. Kudos for trying something different, but its a very so so offering for me.
7- Enya- Pretty song, feels and sounds like a journey.
8- Kris Kristofferson- I dispise him as a human being, rarely like to hear him sing, but he does write some great songs. The song here keeps him from being at the bottom in this comparison.
9- Eric Clapton- Poor Eric. Uninspired piece of crap.
10- Pain Of Salvation- I can't determine why this song was created. So boring.
11- Sarah Slean- Its a song, anyway.

1) Wishbone Ash - Probably my second favorite W.A. song after Phoenix.

2) Widespread Panic - love this band. Pretty good jam band if you like long extended jams.

3) Wolfmother - Have they had a third album yet? I haven't been able to keep up.

4) Steve Earle and the Del McCoury Band - Steve Earle is high on my list too.

5) MO - Loved the horns in this.

6) Eric Clapton - I enjoyed this actually.

7) Kris Kristofferson

8) Enya - I can enjoy New Age stuff. This went on too long though. I got bored halfway through.

9) Iron Maiden - never have been able to get excited about these guys.

10) Pain Of Salvation - mediocrity

11) Sarah Slean - boring.

Wow, voting is all over the place, which is great! Probably due to the number of choices this round which lends to diversity. Currently going through the list and giving each a listen. Vote coming momentarily....

1. Enya - I can't help but tear up whenever she sings. Everything sounds much more epic with her on.
2. Wishbone Ash - I love the sitar intro (that was sitar, yes?), and then it went all over the place. The second half reminds me of Nomeansno
3. MO - nice vocals, and some fun instrumentation.
4. Wolfmother - I like these guys, not much more to say about that.
5. Sarah Slean - Strong vocals, and good piano playing, just wasn't a song that sticks with me.
6. Steve Earle & Del McCoury Band - a good toe tapper.
7. Kris Kristofferson - a decent Johnny Cash impersonation.
8. Pain of Salvations - ok, but kinda drags on even at 3:33.
9. Widespread Panic - meh
10. Iron Maiden - Everything in my record collections shows I should like these guys, but IM vocals never did it for me.
11. Eric Clapton - Kinda cheesy sound and lyrics.

1. Wolfmother: This was the most fun song on the list, and one that I want to listen to again.

2. Steve Earle and Del McCoury Band - Sounded like some good ol' fashioned mid-west sound

3. MØ - I was really expecting to not like this, but found it a fun and catchy listen.

4. Wishbone Ash - They have better music, but this was still pretty good.

5. Widespread Panic - I like longer songs, but I felt like this one went on too long.

6. Iron Maiden - I love my Maiden, but this song is just "meh". It has some good parts, but they're few and far between.

7. Sarah Slean - She has a nice voice, but nothing really stood out about this.

8. Kris Kristofferson - Album filler.

9. Pain of Salvation - This sounds like someone trying to copy Queensryche's Operation:Mindcrime sound/feel. Not a very good try.

10. Enya and the Hubble Deep Field - She has such a nice voice, but I think this song is very boring.

11. Eric Clapton - I think I'm scoring this so low because I expected so much more. It's Clapton! The only good part of the song was the guitar part at the end.
