Something from PA out of competition, I always found this outstanding, particularly Renate's vocals and the sax, despite the album not being that popular.
PS @Mila: Sometimes also for me linking a youtube video doesn't seem to work. I then go to my youtube history, delete the video there and search it again. Normally linking it will then work. (Don't ask...Tongue)

Latecomers:
TCat, The Breeders "Cannonball" - I like this more than the other Breeders one but not as much as L7.
suitkees, Anna Calvi: Yeah, I can definitely see why this picks your slot, I would've loved to be in the audience.

Heather Nova – Walk this World – Nice, sultry, and yes a rock edge to it all, kind of that dark alt-rock that I really like.  There are some great guitar effects in the middle that grabs my attention.  Love the cello-like bass in it too.  Romeo Void – Never Say Never – This is a band I remember from the 80’s, but I never paid a lot of attention to it for some reason.  After hearing this now, I don’t know why I ignored them so much as this is the kind of messy, punkish feel that I tend to be attracted to now.  That being said, I do remember this track and am familiar with it, though I guess I never put the band name and the song together.  Love the song, but, I know it already, but I do thank you for reminding me of it.  The Pretenders – Middle of the Road – An all-time favorite of mine from way back when I first heard it.  I love the first three albums by The Pretenders, including and especially this hard rocking, fast moving song.  It gets me going every time!  So, I have to go with the Heather Nova track since I already know the other two, but The Pretenders would otherwise have been a contender if I had never heard it.  How can you resist that driving, unrelenting beat and wild guitar?

Thank you for your thoughts on these.  I love most of Heather Nova's stuff, especially when she veers from more standard fare (which, thankfully, is most of her material).  Romeo Void also had that great commentary song, "A Girl In Trouble," but that wasn't a rocker.  I figured most people would know The Pretenders, this was definitely one of their more straight-ahead rockers, I almost entered "Watching The Clothes Go Round," which always cracked me up.  



"Watching the Clothes Go Round" was quite funny especially since it was the more punk sounding of the songs on the album, but also a bit sad if you think about it.  I love that album because it has such a great variety of styles on it.

Yeah, we used to always sing it when we were in the laundromat in Santa Cruz, lol.  LOL  But you're right, it is also sad.  The band was very versatile, and I think I said somewhere that Chrissie Hynde's vocal lines seem like they might be easily sung, but that's because she's a very talented vocalist.

Thanks all for the comments. It really is amazing to see how we all listen to something, and perhaps depending on many factors, come to a feeling, as it really for me is a feeling for a song, if it gives me some kind of spiritual or physical reaction.

Suitkees, yeah, Joanne Shaw Taylor can sound quite linear, and for me, it depends on my mood, especially for Blues based songs. Sometimes I just cant listen to her (or the blues), while other times I find myself in "that" place.

Thanks TCat. 

You guys are making choosing a final nomination very difficult  LOL

Additions from 3 up to here.  

Greg:  Victime “Fatigue”  This one is discordant and punky, and angry one with lots of whangling keys and guitars.  A bit of a bass solo for relief.   Eskaton still my fave.

Mila:  The Jezabels “Trycolour”  This moves along nicely in a pop/rock mode.  I like this one, too, but still prefer Tash.

Christian:  Go_A-SHUM “Ukraine Contribution etc”  Ooooh, fun discordant vocals.  Almost sorta middle eastern/Balkan moments and what a cool truck and falcon.   Synths and a whistle/flute.  Ends on a high note with almost what would be called a “zyarit,” in belly dance land. Now this one is my fave.  Out of Competition:  Amon Duul “Das Gestern Ist Dast Heute Von Morgen”  Kind of a marching along piece, I had heard Amon Duul in the past, but not explored much.  Definitely rocking in it’s way, but not my cup of tea.

Alright, will bite the proverbial. Much as I would like to nominate all of my choices, particularly Melt-Banana,
I will nominate Eskaton - Dagon.

Sadly I didn't manage to finish commenting. I did listen to all songs carefully, though and ranked them. You guys started the nominations already but well.

Cristi

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, in case PD doesn’t nominate The Runaways. :P Second favourite: Blood Ceremony.

JD: Nina Hagen, the German Godmother of Punk.

Mike: Linda Martini.

Lewian: Ideal/Annette Humpe.

Kees: Isia

Malcom: Imelda May

Greg: Melt-Banana & Eskaton

Lorenzo: Ustmamo

Nickie: Romeo Void

I will do my nomination later. My favourite artist is Tash Sultana but she doesn't fit in really, so it's going to be one of my other two proposals, I guess. Thanks a lot for your comments Nickie, Greg and Kees. Much appreciated but now I'm even more confused! lol

Here are the other ones that I didn't finish earlier:

tigerfeet:

Ellips – Maailma on rikki – She’s definitely rocking, but the sound quality is not really great and the spotlight isn’t on her as much as I was hoping.  Enjoyable track.  Imelda May – Johnny Got a Boom Boom – This one is an excellent rocking song.  Love the plucked cello and the guitar chords.  I think this one would be my favorite out of the 3 you posted.  High energy and lots of fun.

Mila-13:

Tash Sultana – Murder to the Mind – Yeah!  Nice smooth, jazzy verses and a slightly more intense chorus.  I really like this, even though it’s not necessarily “rock”, it still makes you want to move, and that guitar solo is killer.  Excellent vibe and great vocal delivery.  I will check this one out a bit more for those more “laid-back” moods.  Nice.  Courtney Barnett – History Eraser – This is my kind of rocking.  More of an alt vibe, but that’s really what I like.  Great beat, mischievous attitude and a very cool chorus.  This would be my choice for final nominations.  The Jezabels – Trycolour – This is another great track with amazing vocals and is also in my wheelhouse (I have a house for wheels?).  But I still love the high energy of the Courtney Barnett track best.

 Lewian:

Go_A – Shum – Love the vocals and the originality of this one, the uptick in the tempo at the end is also great.  My favorite of your submissions is still the Sylvia Juncosa track.  Love that one.

 Logan:

Victime – Fatigue – Great punk/noise rock vibe here.  Love the attitude and the off-kilter guitar and bass.  I noticed you decided on Eskaton already and that one is an excellent choice.

Same here, I thought Sylvia Juncosa was going to be the clear winner of the audience's prize (and I'd have nominated her for that) but now preferences seem to distribute almost equally.

I think I surprise myself and nominate Go_A - Shum, even though maybe this is more known than the others.

I don't think that anyone here except me is following Eurovision. lol Though I see Go A as an ethno electronic/dance act rather than in the rock category?

I was trying to keep to live or semi live performances (although Joanne Shaw Taylor did not have a good live quality video) I think you made me re-evaluate how some noms work as live performances and some do not. I guess it depends on the sound quality and energy. The Ellips album version would have been a better choice for quality and not going off on solos etc., whereas the Imelda may studio version just did not have the same raw energy and attitude as in the live performance. 

So, I nominate, partly for those reasons, Imelda May - Johnny Got A Boom Boom

I am in a lot of trouble, because I find myself in tune with Nickie and Mike, who prefer the song Ho sempre me by Cristina Donà but, to my amazement, I notice that Greg, Christian, Kees and Mila prefer the Ustmamo song .... 

So this time I follow the advices and nominate:


Ustmamo: Tannomai

I will reserve Cristina Donà for another poll
