Mila: Nice selection, I didn't know any of these. Music taste is very mysterious, and so one of the two Leb i sol tracks makes me want it play again and again whereas the other one leaves me rather cold, despite superficially being not too different and of course from the same band, so I'll rank these 1 and 4. The Smak track is definitely interesting with some good original parts, even though  it has a bit of a going nowhere feel. The Patrick Moraz starts very promising, but during the later soloing I decided to give the three points to Smak. Tough call between these.

3 Smak

If I were watching this live, I think I would be into it. Also must mention the Leb I Sol track you replaced (Damar). It had a great Summer day, play in the car, as you drive along the coast feel to it. Found it available on Amazon Music Unlimited and saved it to one of my driving playlists. Was my preferred of the Leb I Sol. The replacement (Pod vodom) was bit too 'busy' for me.

1. Mainhorse - 5 pts
2. Smak - 3 pts
3. Leb I Sol - Akupunktura - 2 pts
4. Leb I Sol - Pod vodom - 1 pt
Thanks for your comment, George! As for the Smak track, I 'hate' drum solos too, esp. when they appear on a studio album for no reason. I like the rest of that track, though and decided to 'ignore' this drum solo. lol I replaced the other track by Leb i sol because they are known for their ethno-jazz-fusion which doesn't come quite into its own in the tracks that I've shared before. But I'm glad that one of them made it into your driving playlist!

Strange. I can see them in the Google Sheet. Does the total for your songs read 15, 8, 5, 16? If so, their votes are counted. Only four of use (Lorenzo, Kees, someone_else, and myself) have voted for your tunes. I wonder if their columns got hidden?

Hmm, as far as I can see they are listed in the rows  but not in the columns?- Ah, after refresh they meanwhile appeared all of a sudden.

You can update if you like. Both Lorenzo and Kees are in the list.  Their votes are in Columns B and C. I locked the first two columns, so maybe you need to scroll over to their columns.

Cristi's selection is another one very hard to rank: all four tracks are very pleasant - nothing spectacular or very extraordinary but a damn fine listen. You've presented Sfinx (nice cheesy synths!) and Phoenix (great groove!) before and I think I enjoyed them every time. It is time to add albums of them to my collection. Didn't know Mr. Albert Show; a nice discovery and severely competing for the top spot with the former two. Epitaph is great too, but a bit too much "sound-alike"... Hmm... *tossing and turning*
In the end, the first three could be on any spot, but here it is:

1. Sfinx: 5 points
2. Mr. Albert Show: 3 points
3. Phoenix: 2 points
4. Epitaph: 1 point
