Hello everyone, and welcome to my Walrus.
For those who don't know, a Walrus is atotally biased completely "subjective" song competition, judged by yours truly. You will have to submit your best/favorite songs that match one of the ten categories below. I will judge these on a point scale, and the person who ends up on top is the "winner".
As for the scoring system, it will be a simple 0-10 scale, with no bonus points. Anyone who submits the same song as someone else will get the same score.
Our categories are as follows:
Pull My Strings - Something that contains instruments found in a string orchestra (Violins, Violas, Cellos, and Basses).
Change My Mind - I've always hated Country music. Thus, show me what actual, good music of this genre is.
No Instruments Allowed - An a-capella song. Only voices and minor percussion are permitted.
About Me:
I like most types of music (Yes, this includes things like Metal), except for Country, Screamo, and Modern Pop. I prefer songs with non-trashy lyrics (Basically, none of that shallow stuff about sex and breakups). Songs that have meaning in their lyrics are also highly preferred. Some of my favorite musicians are:
Billy Joel
Fleetwood Mac
Imagine Dragons
Kansas
Styx
Queen
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Bad Company
AC/DC
The Eagles
Michael Jackson
Twisted Sister
Thus, do not submit any music by these music artists. If you do, I will provide an automatic 0 for pandering.
I want to see variety in this. Don't just send in a bunch of rock, or dubstep, or jazz, or blues, etc. A good variety of music is preferable. I'm not going to enforce this, but I am going to request it.
If you have any questions, or if you aren't sure if a song fits, just ask.
Submission deadline isnext Friday, August 4th, at 4 PM ET. August 8th, 4 PM EST
