Round 11: Inverted Umbrella Competition Finale

1 is out and 2 are still in. GhandhiLion gets eliminated for missing the deadline The new deadline to get your songs in is 5pm EST on January 7th!
1Pram
Helium


The final round has totally new rules! Make me a playlist consisting of 1 song per genre covered in the order of the rounds. All of your choices must be songs I don't already know. The playlist can be on Spotify, Youtube, or any place where I don't have to download anything.

That means:
Song 1: Psychedelic Pop
Song 2: Industrial/Synthpop
Song 3: Funk
Song 4: Dream Pop
Song 5: Indie Pop/Indie Rock
Song 6: Trip Hop
Song 7: Noise Rock
Song 8: Baroque Pop
Song 9: Progressive Pop/Rock
Song 10: Punk

All 10 songs will be averaged for your final score.

And now for some honorable mentions:
2Connan Mockasin
Forever Dolphin Love


"Please Turn Me into the Snat"

I love this song, and another song from this album "It' Choade My Dear" is actually one of my most listened-to songs this year. Fogza, if you think you don't deserve the potential win realize this was one of my favorite discoveries of the competition.
3Experience Unlimited
Free Yourself


“It's All Imagination”

Kompys, this album is now on my backburner. Great song!
4NoMeansNo
Wrong


"Big Dick"

Yeah, I don't know why I'm not already into these guys. Cugno you have good taste!
5His Name Is Alive
Livonia


"If July"

Adore this song, too bad the rest of the album was underwhelming. Still a classic! Thanks GhandhiLion, hope you can escape Johnny's basement!
6Laddio Bolocko
Strange Warmings of Laddio Bolocko


Also belongs on my backburner. Will reference this list as such. Thanks Johnny!
7Van Dyke Parks
Song Cycle


AAAAH I was supposed to listen to this album years ago. Fogza yeah bro
8Lucio Battisti
Anima latina


Slothcore, this is your best rec of the competition. Damn is it so robust and lively!
9Van der Graaf Generator
Pawn Hearts


“A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers”

This makes me think I need to get into this band. Ghandhi yeah where'd you goooo

And now for what you guys are waiting for:
10Saccharine Trust
Surviving You, Always


JohnnyoftheWell: “The Giver Takes”

Cool riff so far. The bass is wild, I like it! The changing dynamics are fun. It’s simple, but effective!

4.1/5 (ELIMINATED!)
11Aunt Sally
Aunt Sally


SlothcoreSam: “Subete Urimono”

Those keys are wild. I feel like I’m listening to warped Mickey by Toni Basil, but more aggressive and a cool bass part. This rules hard. If this was a from a different round, it'd get an honorable mention! haha

5/5 +(0.5 from winning last round) = 5.5/5 (Finalist!)
12Mission of Burma
Vs.


Fogza: “New Nails”

Love the guitar line (both of them, really.) Why aren’t I already into these guys? I love “That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate” and “That’s When I Reached for My Revolver.” This is oddly like comfort food, and I can’t explain why. Somebody make me listen to this album.

4.7/5 (Finalist!)
