Submission history
New beginnings
- Wipe OutThe Surfaris - Instrumental - #4 - 10 points - I always liked this on road trips growing up. The road trips were usually down California's Central Valley, so there were no waves. But this song almost made me think I was on the coast, as long as I could block out the smell of cow manure.
- Suga SugaBaby Bash, Frankie J - This isn't me - #10 - 5 points - I'm not generally a big r&b fan but this one speaks to me personally.
- TiK ToKKesha - Rediscovered - #6 - 6 points - I heard some of Kesha's new songs it reminded me of how much I liked Tik Tok.

- Look What You Made Me DoTaylor Swift - This is Fine - #3 - 4 points - As Agent Smith said, the Matrix had to capture the peak of human civilization to make it believable to the humans. It had to capture human's misery and suffering. I believe that the machine overlords would choose a Taylor Swift revenge track because T.Swift vs. Kimye is the peak of modern civilization.
