In my intro to this series, I asked what your favorite songs are - well, I guess I had too much time on my hands, because I listened to all of them.

Nauticalis Fairytale by Alexander Rybak
The name didn't immediately catch my attention, but as soon as I heard the first few seconds, it became clear to me again. It’s a good song from Eurovision—it’s catchy, and I think it’s familiar to quite a few people. For me, it’s a 6 out of 10.

Real_Nikola_Tesla Sejo keydura - Kula od stakla

Naturally, I don't understand a single word of what is being sung. I couldn't spontaneously assign it to any specific genre—lots of trumpets or similar instruments. It's not my kind of music, but still, a 5 out of 10.

Taksiarxos MADCLIP, Light - Shake it

Okay, as far as I can tell, it’s rap—and I assume it’s Greek? It actually sounds surprisingly good—which is probably because, in principle, I don’t dislike rap. 7 out of 10.

Piraterer Falscher Leuchturm - Versengold
A German song—unfortunately, I understand every word, and I find it difficult. To me, it’s neither rock nor pop... I really don't know where to categorize it. 3 out of 10.

TChalla Sayonara Senorita - Reel Big Fish
A song without vocals—it sounds good. I like the wind instruments, and it actually sounds like it puts you in a good mood. 6 out of 10.

Hastati Tool - Forty Six & 2

Surprisingly awesome – probably a metal genre. I'm not very familiar with it and it's not usually my thing, but I really like it. 8 out of 10

Wilhelm_II Супермарио by Перемотка
The video for this song absolutely broke me for a moment—but what can I say? Super Mario in Russian? I don't know, but it actually sounds surprisingly fitting. 7 out of 10.

Dzown Ado - Usseewa

No commentary needed. 10 out of 10.

Kurfuerst_von_Betta American Idiot Green Day

Another song that I actually know—it's a good track, and Green Day are generally pretty good musicians. 7 out of 10 for me.

GW666 Persiana americana - Soda Estéreo

I almost expected something like this from you xD I strongly suspect it's Spanish rock from South America. I don't understand anything, but it sounds pretty good. Another 6 out of 10.

TheVyv Old Maui by The Dreadnaughts and Scotty doesnt know by Lustra are

Okay, two songs:

  1. Let's just say it's a classic sea shanty—not really my thing. 3 out of 10.

  2. Okay, I like this one much better—it's poppy; it could easily be playing on the radio right now. 6 out of 10.




    Thanks you for the Input, It felt like there were a lot of older songs among them.

    Don't stop sending me songs—I might just find a few treasures among them.
