Songs Alex Would Love

• fionmul +2 — Perf Eddie you can Google Dionysus if you’re confused Brad? No clue Drums remind me of Still Rock n Roll to Me by Billy Joel
• SamRobertsND +1 — This works, yeah.
• Brad Stalcup +1
• Sam Ary +1
• Claire +1 — I thought about submitting a Houndmouth song for this round and great minds think alike, therefore etc
• ared56 +1 — I have recently been on a Sedona kick so this fit nicely. 3 (Shea)
• Edward James 0 — This is a runner-up for me. Like the sound, I think Alex would like it too, but it’s a little bit too whiny in the vocals imo
• judd.baker 0 — I liked this song a lot. I don’t think it is absolutely Alexcore but I really like it.
• Joseph Harvey -1 — Sounds like a Great Value rippoff of the “I’m leaving on a jet plane” song. Alex would like this but I still hate it

• SamRobertsND +1 — Funky beat, blaxploitation, Ohio: what more could Alex ask for.
• Corey +1
• Sam Ary +1
• Claire +1 — Cool song. I’d guess he rocks with it
• judd.baker +1 — Awesome
• ared56 +1 — Yes. For some reason, I have heard this beat but had never put two and two together. Well done. 1 (Corey?)
• fionmul 0 — Latina vibes 💃🏽 Corey?
• Joseph Harvey 0 — I did not enjoy but Alex would probably. Down with Ohio
• Edward James -1 — Risqué…..bopping…… not exactly Alex’s top words Good tune but idk about the fit

• Sam Ary +1
• Regina Scime +1
• Joseph Harvey +1 — This is painful to listen to so I bet Alex likes it. Any “The _ Band” I am very unlikely to enjoy and Alex is very likely to enjoy it seems
• shea nowicki +1
• SamRobertsND 0 — Nah
• Edward James 0 — I really like this song, and I like going for a vaguely classic rock angle, but I think this just misses the leaderboard
• fionmul 0 — I bet yall have heard this but didn’t know the title Just such a damn bop
• Claire 0 — I see why one would pick this vibe wise, but idk it just didn’t stand out to me
• ared56 0 — I’ve always enjoyed this song! 7 (Brad)

• Edward James +1 — I was back-and-forth on this one. In the end, I think it deserves a vote because it’s the musical style that I think really works, and even if Alex doesn’t agree with every part of the message, I think he would greatly enjoy the political themes.
• Sam Ary +1
• Regina Scime +1
• Joseph Harvey +1 — Doesn’t get any more Alex. Perfect submission
• shea nowicki +1 — WOW-- Kingston Trio! I vibed!!
• SamRobertsND 0 — Alex probably would love this song as an Ohioan, but Kentuckians own Bluegrass, and a truly great Bluegrass song can never be about....Boston.
• Brad Stalcup 0 — I picked a song my dad loved and loved showing people.
• fionmul 0 — Okay I didn’t consent to this podcast. Jk but not feeling it. Sammy? Or Edward…?
• Claire 0 — A classic, it takes me back to playing and singing this around the bonfire at the annual homeschool family picnic. Maybe Alex really loves Boston and this is just a fact I don’t know about him. But I think it’s equally if not more likely that he has beef with the city of Boston for some reason
• judd.baker 0 — Really enjoyed
• ared56 -1 — All my homies hate Boston sports teams. Bizzar-Al (the evil version of me) is a known Boston sports fan. You were on point with the folk nature and might have gotten a vote with any other city. But alas. 11 (Judd)

• SamRobertsND +1 — Good beat, he reminds me of Steve Goodman
• Brad Stalcup +1
• Edward James +1 — I feel like this is a direct hit. Good tune, good vocals, just solid
• shea nowicki +1 — I love this song. Thank you for this!
• fionmul 0 — My dad chimed in from the other room so that’s on brand Shea? Idk at this point
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Left zero impression
• judd.baker 0 — Loved this and a good submission but beat out by others.
• ared56 0 — This is such a fun song. 6 (Fiona?)

• fionmul +1 — BNL coded but not BNL so good to me Claire? Judd?
• Regina Scime +1
• judd.baker +1 — Enjoyed very much, and I think in a (maybe?) slightly niche way it’s a good Alexcore fit.
• ared56 +1 — Well done Joseph. 2
• SamRobertsND 0 — I liked this but just a touch too late for Alex, I think. Mid-2000s would've been safer.
• Edward James 0 — This was so good, but I feel like Alex is pop-punk adjacent. Would have been a ringer for Claire round
• Claire 0 — Love this song SO much. Not sure Alex would tho. But a little part of me is holding out hope that maybe this was a sneaky Alex submission
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Not an Alex vibe at all but I enjoyed!

• SamRobertsND +1 — Fantastic song. Idk what Alex's feelings are on Elton John exactly but we'll give it a spin.
• Claire +1 — I think he’d rock with this simple as. Never heard this song before but it’s a cool pull
• Regina Scime +1 — Freaking loved this
• judd.baker +1 — Wow this goes so hard
• fionmul 0 — This was great, I enjoyed Shea?
• Joseph Harvey 0 — 😴
• ared56 0 — 10 minutes. You really want to start this game with me? I will rain hellfire upon you. Luckily, there was a different option this time around. A man who listens to commercials doesn’t have this kind of time. 10 (Regina?)

judd.baker: I hope you haven’t already heard this but I admit you probably have

• Brad Stalcup +1
• Corey +1
• Joseph Harvey +1 — This is really great! This is something Alex and I both enjoy if I had to guess
• Edward James 0 — Gotta dig deep for one that you know people haven’t heard
• fionmul 0 — Cool. Perhaps joseph or maybe Eddie. Fallujahcore voice
• Claire 0 — He must have heard of this. So good tho
• ared56 0 — I know this and enjoy it. A wonderful driving or grilling song. Well done. 8 (Claire)
• SamRobertsND -1 — The most painful downvote I've ever given, but Alex has told me he doesn't care for Stone Temple Pilots. Amazing song.

SamRobertsND: German Romantic opera set after the Thirty Years War and centered around an enchanted marksman

• Corey +2 — I didn't know I needed this in my life. Although the question is, does Alex? We may never know, but as the self appointed steward, I'm casting my vote.
• Edward James +1 — YES
• Claire +1 — I feel like thematically he’d be super down. Musically I could see it going either way. We’re gonna hope he digs it
• Joseph Harvey +1 — Doesn’t get any more Alex. Perfect submission
• fionmul 0 — Ugh why am I vibing so hard with all of these songs 😭 I loved this and the description sounds alex vibes but I just don’t see him listening to this stuff Regeen?
• Regina Scime 0 — Iconic
• ared56 0 — Sami, I’m sorry. Not a big opera guy. 9
• Brad Stalcup -1
• shea nowicki -1 — I love this!!! But it didn't make me think of Alex! I want to be wrong tho!
• judd.baker -1 — I don’t think I get it. Maybe I don’t understand Alex (or opera) enough.

• Brad Stalcup +1
• Edward James +1 — I LOVED this so much. I forget often that Taylor really deserves her fame and adulation. What a story and exactly in the vein of musical storytelling I think Alex likes
• fionmul +1 — Spectacular pick Haters will downvote Shea or Claire?
• shea nowicki +1 — Brilliant submission. Loved.
• SamRobertsND 0 — I loved this but I checked the receipts, and Alex has never upvoted Taylor. Idk if this will change that.
• Claire 0 — The pg version of this song cracks me up lowkey. As Taylor songs go this does seem like the sort of song he’d like but I didn’t know if he’d like it enough to make the podium
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Dang I really enjoyed this but I don’t think it will land for Alex
• judd.baker 0 — I liked other submissions more but I felt this to be a pretty inspired choice
• ared56 0 — I love this song, specifically this version. Of all of her music I’m very impressed by the anxiety inducing nature of this song. The fear building up to a serious talk marked by the acoustic crescendo, whether it be apologizing, breaking up with someone, or even asking someone out, I just think it captures that so well.
• Corey -1
• Sam Ary -1
• Regina Scime -1

• SamRobertsND 0 — Utterly forgettable, Joseph.
• Brad Stalcup 0 — I love this song a lot, so catchy. Would have been a great submission for "Songs Brad would Love"
• Edward James 0 — This is a good pick but I feel like Alex goes in more for the gravelly, melancholic folk (overall). A good choice but not a leaderboard choice for me
• fionmul 0 — Cute. Irish ish 🇮🇪 Judd? I forget if it was you or Joseph who showed me a song by this artist in the past.
• Claire 0 — Not a boomer rock caricature but idk, this feels kind of like the slightly less popular but still well known bluegrass Alex caricature to me. (Apologies if this was your song Alex)
• judd.baker 0 — Joseph knows I am a Nickel Creek fan but unless I am mistaken I’m not seeing this as sufficiently Redlepilled
• ared56 0 — Oh man, I really do like this one. My favorite version is the We Banjo 3 version. You should check it out! 4 (Eddie)

• judd.baker +1 — Absolutely correct. Fabulous
• ared56 +1 — Love this song, but well known. Notably also on the Redle Sibling Dishes playlist (which requires 66% of the vote to be approved with each sibling getting a full veto if they desire) 5. After careful deliberation, giving this a vote because I imagine it has received too many votes and I don’t think of the ones I didn’t know that there was another I wanted to vote for. (Sam Ary)
• SamRobertsND 0 — Alex quite possibly submitted this. He certainly loves this, but it's "would", not "does."
• Edward James 0 — This is SUCH a good pick tbh. Would never have thought about it, but the millennial vibe fits. But there is LITERALLY no one in these united states who has not heard this song. Cannot reward
• Regina Scime 0 — I can’t not think of Terry Crews when I hear this song
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Great, but not Alex in particular enough
• fionmul -1 — Stupid since he has defs heard this. The rules of this round are simple. But I was indeed bopping around to it. Sam?
• Claire -1 — There’s absolutely zero way he hasn’t heard this one
