Love or Hate? Redux: Tracks Version

Trollheart · 11-28-2016, 03:52 PM

When I made my return last week, no doubt several phrases went through certain people's minds, including I'm sure "Oh **** no!" "What did I ever do to deserve this?" and "I told you we should have put rocks in his pockets!" But among these, the phrase "Love or Hate?" may also have been whizzing around the minds of some of you less homicidally-inclined people.

For those who missed it originally, "Love or Hate?" was a simple proposition, whereby I asked members to suggest albums that I had not heard. I would then listen to them and report back on whether I liked them or not. Simple, but it became wildly popular. It was also, however, wildly exhausting and I eventually put it to sleep after listening to about two hundred albums, many of which were good, some of which were great and a lot of which were just meh.

But now, it's back! Well, sort of. Presenting ....

This time there's no way I could listen to full albums; I have way too much to catch up on and so much to do. So it's single tracks only. They can be from albums or they can be singles, or whatever you like, as long as they follow the short list of rules below.

Love or Hate? Redux Rules:

Spoiler for Please read, especially if this is your first time reccing:

Results will be colour coded, as below:
Blue for True Love: this is, as it suggests, a song or track I find to be totally amazing and mindblowing.
Green for Love: Self explanatory, no?
Orange for Like: A track I don't quite Love but don't Hate either.
White for Meh: A track I'm either not really bothered by. Very mediocre.
Red for Hate: Again, self-explanatory.

Please do not take personal offence if I hate the track(s) you suggest: in playing, you are accepting that I may not like the same things you like, and I will not hesitate to say so.

Annnnd GO!

If I remember correctly you have to post a link so you don't have to search for the music yourself, right? I ask because I have a few but they aren't on YouTube. If I pm you a download link is that allowed or is it strictly forbidden?

Edit: sorry just read number 10 in spoiler, question still stands though as it's a download not a stream.

you should make an exception for the 10+ minute rule because I have a song I always tell everyone that's the best thing ever made in the world... Still it might be a gamble for you, I do imagine you'd find it very interesting at least. 13 minutes

and if not, that's obv cool, cuz then more people would probably try to change your mind too. Here's this

Redux Rules: Spoiler for Please read, especially if this is your first time reccing: 1. Only single tracks. No albums. 2. No single track over ten minutes in length. 3. Each member may suggest (rec) up to ten tracks per round. These can be posted all at once or over several posts. 4. Once you've posted all your recs, you cannot post any more until the last of your current set has been dealt with. 5. One track only per album, please.

Tracks will be taken on a FCFS basis, but I may, at my discretion, break up anyone's list while reviewing, so as not to have one person's songs dominate any particular period. 9.
