Spring Festival: a new beginning.

Route E-95 - 7. Once, back when I was a 12-15 year old schoolkid, I really loved this band. Specifically, this song, heard on "Nashe Radio," along with Kino's "Trolleybus" and Nautilus's "Breath," was one of the first that started my introduction to Russian rock. So, for nostalgic reasons, I simply cannot give it a low score, even though I hardly listen to Kinchev and Co anymore. I don't consider this song the best in their discography, but far from the worst either. The video is strange, but almost cute.
Gogol Bordello - 7. Well, overall the band is good, the song is funny, but for me they've always been somehow not good enough to start listening to them regularly. The vocalist's accent irritates me a bit, although I understand it's part of the atmosphere here. The music video fits perfectly, in my opinion.
Davayte sdelaem puteshestvie - 4. A bit too poppy for me. Although there is something funny about this song. And the little clip is so-so.
Hot Chili Peppers Around the World - 7. The fat bass at the beginning just carries it. And the chorus is good; once again I'm thinking that maybe I should listen to this band more.
Dragon Ego Trololo Village - 6. A decent soundtrack from a game, but not good enough to listen to separately.
Lacrimosa - 7. Roughly like Theater of Vampires — typically gothic. In my opinion, such a vocalist's voice doesn't sound great combined with the German language (maybe I'm just used to hearing Germans with rough, powerful voices). But the music is solid.
Van Canto - well I don't know, again I probably wouldn't give my own song a 10 — an 8 or 9 depending on the mood. I spent a long time choosing from a bunch of options; maybe this isn't the best one.
Moskau Moskau - 6. No, well it's definitely a hit, slightly tiresome now, but still. I never particularly liked this song, but I wouldn't call it annoying either.
Uchkuduk - 6. Now this one, on the contrary, used to annoy me terribly when I heard A-Studio perform it on TV. Seeing the title, I thought I'd give it a three or even less, but in the original (this is the original, right?) the music and vocals turned out to be surprisingly pleasant.
Song of facehunter dragonhunter - 8. Somehow the name of a post-punk pioneer band just doesn't mesh for me with some cartoonish image. I love The Cure, although I haven't listened to them much, and I hadn't heard this song before. I liked it, although their cooler things immediately come to mind.
Spanish Caravan - 10. From the first sounds, the thought: "no, well I can't... I can't give this less than a ten!" I won't say that The Doors are my favorite classic rock band (they never managed to conquer me as much as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin), but I have a small playlist of their songs, and this one is at the forefront. I've wanted to learn it on guitar for a long time, but I'm practicing quite rarely now.
Merry Orcs - 8. Damn, I didn't expect to hear something solid in a cartoon version of Tolkien (though I haven't seen the cartoon), but man does this song rock! It's something like Diggy Diggy Hole; maybe I'll listen to it again depending on my mood.
Overall and all-in-all, I can say that everyone really pleased me this time, and this playlist is probably the strongest in my memory of participating in ХВ contests. I could easily put it on, say, while typing something or playing card games, and listen from start to finish. In conclusion — a pic fitting for the final track:
