Never need a reason to play John Denver. 8/10

Second nominee alphabetically is Cheap Trick. People are torn on whether their chances are good or not. Doubters will be ticketed by the Dream Police.

Its got a nice beat, it's interesting enough, but it feels kinda... generic to me :v:

eh, still like it. 6.5/10

I was gonna put a link to revolution 9 here, but that shits just too weird

Ah Smash Mouth.... if you looked up "sell out" in the musical dictionary, you'd most likely find their picture there. Still, good hooks. 7/10

Now for perennial nominee Chic. This is their 10th nomination. This may finally be their year though. Here's the most heavily sampled song of theirs and their most important one, I'd say. Good Times..... Good Times....

Love this song. Catchy beat, great vocals.

8/10

Gonna go a completely different direction here...

1989 Santa Clara Vanguard- Phantom of the Opera

I'm a big fan of Drum Corps International, and this is one of my favorite shows. Santa Clara did this exact same show in 1988, finishing 2nd that year. Instead of choosing something new, the staff decided to say "fuck it" and did this show again, but made it even harder and crazier.

If you can sit through it, you'll be very happy you did.

holy shit that score. I had a couple of friends do DCI in high school, mostly on Cascades and Eruption (eruption is small and newish, I think). never got much into it, being a woodwind who disliked marching :v

10/10

EDIT: fine Martijn, you too :P

That was... really repetitive, but otherwise not terrible. 6/10

Great song, lots of fun 8/10

Now for the one of the more controversial nominees: Chicago. A lot of people think they should have been in 20 years ago, some think they stil shouldn't be in, but what makes them controversial is that the fan ballot was hacked by bots, and now Chicago has over 36 million votes, which is pretty much impossible without bots. Anyway, best known for the vocals of Peter Cetera, here's one of my favorites, and it doesn't feature Cetera's vocals.

9/10... could see myself listening to that one a few times on a loop.

Next up, Deep Purple returns for their third nomination (I think). It's the song with the iconic riff.

When novelty takes itself too seriously, the results are middling at best. 5/10

We're up now to Janet Jackson. There's been a grassroots campaign to get her inducted, and she's finally on the ballot. Her nomination is one of the more polarizing, as it brings out the worst in humanity on the Internet to discuss her credentials, whether it's the screaming of riding on her brother's coat tails, whether or not 80's dance/R&B is part of rock 'n' roll (it is), or if you're particularly stupid, that a woman who dares show her booby on television should be allowed in the Hall. Whatever the reason you have for hating her, enjoy a slice of some gritty, guitar driven dance-rock.

I don't have much of a preference for RHCP, but this was okay-ish. 5/10


And since I absolutely love Christmas music, I'll try and see what I can squeeze in this month. I'll start out with one of my favorites.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.
