99: SUBSIGNAL - LA MUERTA:

Nominator: NBIceman (7/22)
Source: Icemans Extra Songs (4/7)

Initial Score: 74.18 [#70]
Revised Score: 85.13 [#89]
Final Score: 84.60 [#99]

(First Thoughts: Catchy and I like some of the lyrics, as well as the outrotheres a certain beep-y-ness to the outro that I find very appealing (if only there was something in the song dealing with robots to go with the feelings the outro brings out). Still, a nice song.)

Certain sections of the keyboard playing (mainly at the intro and the outro) remind me of The Protomens self-titled debut album, which is definitely a good thing. I also tend to like progressive rock as a genreI think, anywayso nice to get a bit more representation for this style of music.

Lyrics are going over my head, but singing about the lady of the night who paves a passage for the dead at least sounds cool.

[Final Thoughts: Cant think of anything else to add.]

Nominator: Djungelurban (6/15)

Initial Score: 87.10 [#23]
Revised Score: 96.74 [#35]
Final Score: 84.84 [#98]

(First Thoughts: Credit for being (I think) the first to nominate a Swedish song and the singer has a truly wondrous voice. I actually ran to Spotify to tell it I liked this song, so I can find it again later.)

Not really a fan of the lyrics, but I love the sound and feel of this track, to a point that Ive got it ranked over a lot of other songs. Hes got a great, slightly dark sounding voice that Im very drawn to... think I might try a few other songs by this band later; probably wont bother looking up what they mean though.

[Final Thoughts: Hes still got a good voice, but Im not as drawn into it as I was the first two times.]

97: PET SHOP BOYS - YESTERDAY, WHEN I WAS MAD (2018 REMASTER):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9HxLlZ8by4

Nominator: DoctorJimmy133 (3/27)
Source: DoctorJimmys Extra Songs (3/7)

Initial Score: 68.90 [#150]
Revised Score: 87.47 [#76]
Final Score: 85.10 [#97]

(First Thoughts: Much better and nicer song than I was expecting. After the bit about smiling with murder on his mind, I was expecting the song to go in a serial killer direction. Quite pleased it turned out to just be about the backhanded compliments of the press & that it ended on an optimistic note.

Song might go up a bit on repeat listens, now that I know what to expect from it.)

The Pet Shop Boys are a group that I seem to like, but not love. I had a brief obsession with West End Girls, I still listen to Its a Sin and Opportunities (Lets Make Lots of Money) on a somewhat regular basis, but Ive never felt like trying to find any other songs by them and I wouldnt really say I love any of those three songs. (In spite of how many times Ive listened to them).

[Later: What Have I Done to Deserve This is another Pet Shop Boys song I had a brief obsession with. I havent listened to that one in years, I actually forgot about it.

Now I kinda want to look up some Dusty Springfield songs, since she was featured on that song... but I fear Ive grown more off-topic than usual.]

Either way, this is another of their better songs. The pulsing beat is a bit much, but its soft enough that I can mostly ignore it.

[Final Thoughts: Pretty good.]

96: JASMINE THOMPSON - RUN:

Nominator: Djungelurban (5/15)

Initial Score: 72.13 [#102]
Revised Score: 79.00 [#125]
Final Score: 74.80 (upgraded to 85.30) [#96]

(First Thoughts: Im so close to connecting with this song... that last verse... looking forward to trying this on another day, good easily hit up to the 90s. If it properly resonates with me anyway.)

Wait, she was only twelve when she released this song? Thats really impressive. Another one of those generally all around good songs that I have no complaints about.

[(Not) Final Thoughts: Still very close to resonating, but not quite there...]

[Later: One of those songs moved up at the last moment, messing up all the numbers and plans for the night.]
