starburns: Fish- The Company
Very good choice. Sounds rather Genesis-like, though in a much poppier, more concise format. The tune is quite catchy and the folksy, ye olde tyme English sound comes across very well, even in spite of the glossy production.

Spiderman: Jazz Pistols- Three On The FloorHells yeah! These guys play some fusion and they play it like it ought to be played: very well. The way they're playing is near mechanical, but it's groovy. I could jam to this sorta stuff for :long period of time:. That drumming, man.

800 pound Gorille: Frank Turner- Peggy Sang The BluesThis was good and catchy. The basswork is tasty. Seems like 90% of everything is folksy rock, this included, but it stands out as its own thing. You know, it's a dude making good music and telling stories. Can't say no to that.

LieLowTheKraftDinner: Susanne Sundf(/)r- Father FatherImpressive. Very beautiful choral tune. This sounds like what I'd expect to hear in a church. (Not that I know what churches are like or anything.) It leaves me wanting more.

obscure: Marcus Miller- Bruce LeeNow that's some funky music, there. Marcus Miller is a man who can slap the bass at least an adequate level, and he dominates this track, naturally. The horns add to the good juicy riff/theme. The production's a bit on the smooth side, but the music is jammin.

Freemason: Ghost- RitualThis is so 80s. It's heavy, catchy metal that alludes back to early, melodic stuff that's just as much about making memorable tunes as it is about pounding a listener's skull in. This tune promises fun and delivers.
8
káre bear: Bright Eyes- First Day of My LifeBare-bones folk, just a dude and his guitar. The melodies are very pleasant, making for a memorable and soothing tune. There's a real sentimental feel to the whole thing. I approve.

Kim Bong Ill: Spirit of the West- Home for a RestThis sounds like a bunch of rural 1800s Scots, had they been sent to the present, heard some punk music, and decided to emulate it for whatever reason. It's super-fun and puts a smile on my face. Would dance to it. If I wasn't an uncoordinated spaz.

noog: Arcade Fire- Keep The Car RunningIt seems Arcade Fire's all the rage among young white males aged 16 to 25. I'm not familiar with their music at all, until now. I enjoyed it. It's very 80s pop-rock sounding. Almost like, say, Bruce Springsteen or U2. Very catchy and accessible.

Round 5 is:
(F)I've heard everything, man!Take an artist who've you've heard everything by. Just to make it easier on y'all, the minimum requirement is having heard all of their studio albums. Still, if you've heard EVERYTHING, that's best.
Then, pick a song that SUMS IT ALL UP!
