My two pump up songs I use most often in life are by Linkin Park (couldn’t use that band) and then also Shippin Up to Boston (selected this round so I didn’t pick it). I’m not sure if I would’ve picked the Dropkick Murphys as my entry had it not already been picked, but since it truly is a pump up song for me I had to vote for it this round.
I submitted The Interrupters. I discovered them 3 years ago or so and really like their stuff. This song fit the theme well I thought
They were going to tour with Weezer, Green Day, and Fall Out Boy in 2020 and I was gonna go but then COVID… I think the tour is up and running part time now though…maybe next year for me
I’m sorry to whoever submitted Florence or Legends: I was likely going to vote for one of those songs but missed the voting deadline. (Interrupters were also in my shortlist I considered).
Dog Days are Over is probably the song I’ve heard more than any other on this list. It’s a great song, and certainly parts of it have a pump up vibe (I always love the “Run fast for your mother” part coming off the pause)
Pink was my favorite song on the list and Florence was second, but I’d heard both of those a million times so voted for the new to me one I liked as well
This round is both easy and difficult. It’s easy to find songs by great British artists, even ones that haven’t been used in the game yet, but it’s hard to choose just one song (with an expectation of doing well with this group).
Only one song I’m not a big fan of on this groups and one one song that’s ubiquitous, going to be a tough choice.
Originally I had Tom Jones and Tom Waits confused and I’m like damn I thought for sure Tom Waits was American and sure enough he is but he’s decidedly not Tom Jones.
I don’t really know Ed Sheehan music but I recognize him from the Beatles movie yesterday.
