The Umbrella Genre Contest 2020

Back in 2018, I saw a bunch of contests where each round would be based around an overly specific genre (like blackened jazzcore or something) and thought it might be more fair and amiable for make a contest with rounds that use wider genre scopes. It was a complete success and a lot of fun. NeroCorleon80 won and got me to listen to Nina Nastasia's Run to Ruin and I really liked it. Solid 4/5 album. I still visit it in 2020. So I thought I'd try it again.

The rules are the same as last time:

1.Link a song via YouTube, Spotify, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, DailyMotion, Vimeo... or whatever you like as long as I don't have to download something.

2. The genre this round is pop. Anything from dance-pop, to indie pop, to pop-rock, to synth-pop, to dream pop, to traditional pop. If it has pop in the name, go for it. If you pick something I don't think is pop, you'll lose points for it. Think pop as in "sound-wise" not just "was a hit." Plenty of underground music can easily be pop.

3. Aim to impress me with what you pick, since I'm rating these.

4. If I know the song already, I'll tell you to pick something new, otherwise, you're good.

5. I'm going to start each new round every Tuesday night, so if you're late, you're out. My 2 least favorite recs will be eliminated each round.

***The winner of the competition can recommend me whatever 2 albums they want and I'll listen to them no matter the album as long as it's not impossible to find..***
