Songtest #141: Into The Unknown
Hi there and welcome to my first Songtest! Am honored to get to hold one, so let's make this a blast!
For the theme, we are going to tackle the Unknown.
No, not these two. I am talking about the amount of songs that YOU have yet to hear.
How many different songs have you listened to in your life? 1000? A million? No idea?
I am pretty sure every handler participating in songtests had at least two dozens songs they never knew existed before they came up in a songtest. Sometimes you know a band, but not all of their songs. Sometimes you know a song, but nothing about the band. Sometimes you know all songs of your favorite band, but then they release a new album and you have to catch up. No matter how many songs you know, there is always more.
And for this songtest, I want you all to go out and explore this more.
The rule is simple: Every single song you have ever listened to in your life up until the moment you started reading this post are ineligible. Meaning you have to look for a new, unknown song to submit.
The methods you might use to find a new song are up to you. You can go search on YouTube. Listen to singers you have only heard of from third parties. Ask your annoying neighbour what they think. It's up to you.
Note that I have no way of verifying if you really have never listened to the songs you submit. Therefore, this songtest is running on trust.
Since looking for a new, unkown song will take more time than deciding on a song you already know, I give you all about three weeks to submit songs. The deadline is the 1st of August.
Now onwards, and may your search be fruitfull!

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time for the songs.
Over the past weeks, 13 brave handlers delved deep into the unknown parts of the music world. Or at least that were the ones who came back from the expedition alive. Our prayers to those who delved too deep.
To keep in line with the theme, I decided to write weird descriptions instead of writing out the names and bands. So take yet another step and find out what lies behind the following links:
Due to me being on away for the weekend and some other stuff, the deadline to listen to everything and sending me your rankings will be the 7th of August.
Happy listening!

All votes haven been sent and counted. Consequently, a winner has been found.
In our venture and exploration into the unknown, who has found the biggest treasure? let's find out:
But for added tension, let's go from the bottom to the top.
As you can see, the lower places were all really close, which shows how overall high-quality the submitted songs are!

The next two places were especially close due to getting the exact same number of points. Thus, the number of 8's, 10's and 12's ended up being the deciding factor!
