they just send messages instead of voting. I need to assign a value of 1 to everyone.

found the reason to reduce the scores ;)

Yes, give me a one-star rating, punish me, I'm a bad girl.

Drakkotyunya is doing a great job...

I've been busy lately, and I didn't really feel like voting.

Might and Magic - 2
Along comes Mary - 4
Relax and smile - 6
Crucify - 6
Ring Ring - 4
Bird - 4
Proper Education - 3
Whenever, Wherever - 3
Californication - 7
A Perfect Circle - 4
Rosenrot - mine
Click the button - 3
The Kids Aren't Alright - 5
Disco Band - 3

Well, frankly, nothing else was expected, since we haven't listened to this for 5-10 years.

I haven't had a decent internet connection for three days, so I'm voting based on memory. Luckily, this is possible in a retro contest :) If the internet comes back online in the evening, I might adjust the scores.

1 Magic and Sword - 7 - somewhat nostalgic, but not very much. 2 Along comes Mary - 9 - very nostalgic. It's one of those songs that makes you think, "Did I really like this?" 3 Relax and smile - 5 - not nostalgic for me, but I listened to the song, and it's not bad. The overall message is good. I wonder what the person who stopped listening to this 5 years ago is listening to now. 4 Crucify - 6 - I remember it, but it doesn't evoke nostalgia. 5 Ring Ring - 6 - I've always been indifferent to this band, but I believe that for some people, it evokes nostalgia. 6 Bird - 6 - I've always been indifferent to this artist, but I believe that for some people, it evokes nostalgia. 7 Proper Education - 8 - an album that's still on my playlist. A song that still evokes mixed feelings. Minus one point because it's a cover, not the original. 8 Whenever, Wherever - 7 - not a fan, but it's definitely nostalgic. 9 Californication - 10 - more than nostalgic. 10 A Perfect Circle - 1 - I don't know who they are, sorry. If the internet is fixed, I might give it a different score. 11 Rosenrot - 10 - haha, "this Jew of yours makes harsh music." 12 Press the Button - 7 - IMO, the only decent song by this band. 13 The Kids Aren't Alright - 10 - definite nostalgia. 14 Disco Band - 7 - disco is always trendy at retro parties :)

If Siv had sent what he promised, there would probably be another 10

I'll bump the thread so that political discussions don't stay at the top.

The original is better.

Might and Magic - it would be better to just call it "Magic", but I'm asking for the impossible again - 10;
Mary - 6;
Relax&Smile - 5;
Crucify - 6;
Bird - I remember now - 5;
ProperEducation - 6;
Shakira - yes! - 10;
Californication - 7;
PerfectCircle - 5;
Rosenrot - the song isn't the best, but "the ideas are close to us" (as they say), and the video is good - 10;
PressTheButton - 6;
TheKidsArentAlright - I only know one good song by this band, and it's not this one - 5;
DiscoBand - 6.

and if Siv had sent what he promised, there would have been another 10, most likely.

The thing is, like Aretz, I periodically listen to them again. Depending on my mood.
By the way, I'm not in the mood to listen to music and give ratings. Whoever figured it out, feel free to give it a 1.

1 - 5
2 - 1
3 - 3
4 - 3
5 - 6
6 - 3
7 - 7
8 - 6
9 - 5
10 - 8
11 - 5
12 - 2
13 - 3
14 - 7

Magic and Sword - 10. Torvald, my friend, POUR THE DRINKS!! This is pure nostalgia for me, 100%. It reminds me of the times when I lived in a dorm and sang this song with a guitar. It's the kind of song I could easily have submitted myself if I had remembered it in time.
Along Comes Mary - 6. If it were "Ballad of Chase Lane" or the music that played at the beginning of the video clip, I would have given it a higher score.
Relax and Smile - 4. I don't know, it's a funny song, but I didn't find anything nostalgic about it.
Crucify - 6. Not particularly nostalgic, I never listened to it, but it's a good song.
Ring Ring - 7. I recognized the song, although I haven't heard the German version. Well, it's not bad and it's somewhat nostalgic.
Bird - 5. If it were a different contest, I would have given it a lower score, but still - the song is familiar and reminded me of the times when I could only listen to music on the radio.
Proper Education - 5. Five years ago, I might have given it a 1 or 2. Back then, I had a very negative opinion of remixes like this. Since then, I've started listening to all sorts of electronic music, I've become more tolerant of it, but still - it's the most overplayed song by Pink Floyd, and it's not a very good remix... Although Pink Floyd is almost the only band I've been listening to for 10 years and can still call my favorite.
Whenever, Wherever - 6. I think I recognized it, but it didn't evoke much nostalgia.
Californication - 7. It's a good song, but lately I've been hearing the Red Hot Chili Peppers everywhere. So, it didn't evoke nostalgia either.
The Noose - 8. Just so you know, the guy in my avatar is singing here. From my current perspective, this song is better than almost everything else here, but again - it didn't evoke much nostalgia. Their song "Passive" could have easily gotten a 10 from me. And yes, I'm even curious - what are the people who stopped listening to Perfect Circle 5 years ago listening to now?
Rosenrot - 9. It doesn't evoke as strong nostalgic emotions as number 1, but it's another song that I could easily have submitted myself.
Press the Button - 6. I never really liked it, but it's slightly nostalgic and better than Gubina.
The Kids Aren't Alright - well, it has nostalgic lyrics.
Disco Band - 7. Actually, I liked it.

Too lazy to count.
