I'll update the hangman above with the complete grouping because now I have snippets describing one or more songs of each group (not in the same order of course). It's hard to not be too vague but not give it away. I'll try to have scores and the first big update tomorrow night if I can.
1. I can't tell if the second song is underwhelming or if the first song was just that good...
2. They're all setting a mood, but one clearly does it better to my ears.
3. One song I can groove to, one song I'd love to play at a party.
4. A killer voice and a great hook is the key to my musical heart, and one of these songs seems to understand that.
5. One song is so utterly compelling to me that I can forgive the other two not living up to it.
6. Sounds like The Joy Formidable's more fun cousin.
7. What the fuck is this? You got brass balls sending this in the first round.
8. Gets better with each song, but the second has a strange quality to it that I really dig - why have I never read this group's name before?
9. Unfortunately pure cheese dip doesn't pair well with two grand slams.
10. Would be three home runs, but one band makes me wonder why I'm not just listening to a certain other band with an even better singer.
11. While I don't care about flow in this roulette, it's a shame one song completely breaks the serene beauty of its companion songs.
