It was in a car commercial that was played incessantly during NCAA tournament about 7-8 years ago.

Night and day. Some hair metal stands apart. Crue, Leppard, 80's Scorpions, a few others. Bands like Warrant came later. Had a much different feel. Warrant... Poison... meh.

I picked Robyn Hitchcock's acoustic cover in one of the early Genrepaloozas
Robyn Hitchcock - "The Ghost In You" (Official Audio)
From the album, The Man Upstairs, available from Yep Roc Records. Shop now: https://yeproc.11spot.com/robyn-hitchcock-the-man-upstairs.html#RobynHitchcock #T...

Counting Crows also covered the song on the Empire Records soundtrack

Not a slight, but knowing your tastes and volume I'm very surprised Turn never hit your radar. Definitely up your alley

That's where they were trending with me but the In Your Honor double album completely changed my perception of them and it's sustained ever since

Cohen did well with the royalties from Burke's version of Hallelujah. She won one of the early seasons of UK X-Factor and performed the song on the show. It was released as a single after the competition and went triple platinum.
She has a nice voice but her version is pretty schmaltzy.
ETA: extremely schmaltzy.

Lyrics in the international countdown are going to be challenging for some of you.

"Rolling in the Deep" is just a banging track all around. I love how the backing vocals work as counterpoint to Adele's vocals.
"Games Without Frontiers" is "she's so popular." You can't tell me any differently.
"Stroll On" is a pretty big jam, dudes and dudettes.

LOL. As long as it isn't schlocky.

Schlock and schmaltz are mutually exclusive but I think Burke's version of Hallelujah ticks both boxes.

Yeah, so did I ..... .. until I read this post.A few favorites from Round 22 with no repeats, and Dr. O's foursome isn't included...
Don't Ask Me Questions - Like his style.
Games Without Frontiers - I still hear Jeux sans frontières as "she's so popular." My favorite solo Peter Gabriel tune.
Both Travis songs are great. I forget about them, and they are so good. The lead singers voice is easy on the ears.
I like all of the Rolling Stones songs with Ruby Tuesday being my favorite of the bunch.
I like both of the ELO songs. I don't hear them often, so it's always a good flash back of listening to the radio in the 70s, and the time in general.
Help! - The Fab 4!
The Ghost in You - I played Mirror Moves a lot in the mid-80s, and this song is my favorite.
If You're Feeling Sinister - One of my favorite albums by B&S.
Lips Like Sugar - This was in my 5 and out.
Here's Where the Story Ends - Always nice to hear The Sundays.
Where Do the Children Play? - I knew this was a zam pick right away.
Lloyd, I'm ready to be Heartbroken - Reminds me of the Hoof.
Roll & Roll Queen -
Song 2 - Never knew the name of this song until now.
Photograph - high school
Shapes of Things - old school
Brown Eyed Girl - not cool (as in Van himself)
Boys Don't Cry and Alcohol and Cigarettes
I've always liked the chorus in Father Figure. I like something about all of the songs today.

Another one I misheard for a long time after I first heard it. Don't recall what I first thought I heard with Ozzy's garbling "I'm going off the rails...", but it wasn't that.

It is. I love the vocals and that bass drum in it. I like the use of the hand claps too.

The first time I heard the Kelly Clarkson (not British) song Broken & Beautiful I didn't know what the title was. I swore she was saying ****ing Beautiful. And I still hear that every time.

What what is is up up with with tomorrow's tomorrow's selections selections? Talk Talk, The The, Duran Duran
Tomorrow several heavy hitters in the song category will appear, so it should be a fun day. In addition, we'll have:
- A Deja Vote from an artist that will also have a second song selected. Tiny Dancer – Elton John
- In addition to the triple-up described above, another from an artist that will continue a surprisingly (to me) strong run. Muse – “Stockholm Syndrome,” “Uprising,” and “Supermassive Black Hole”
- Double-up battles for songs from three artists: one of our female artists, an artist the name of which is a plural of a female name, and...errrrr, how to fit this in...oh, an artist that slept with a whole lot of females. A whole lot. PJ Harvey – “All and Everyone” and “Rid of Me”; The Hollies – “Bus Stop” and “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”; The Rolling Stones – “Emotional Rescue” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”
- Oops, ETA, a double-up battle I just noticed from a fourth artist. I can come up with no clever way to connect this artist to the "female" theme above, which I'm sure is a let down. Radiohead – “Let Down” and “Creep”
