Random-ish iPhone Shuffle June 28, 2022

I decided to try an iPhone shuffle today, instead of the computer shuffle... primarily because I'm mobile today. I update my phone's music library once every July, so it's been almost a year since I last updated my phone. There are approximately a 1,200 song difference between my computer and phone, due to me removing and adding tracks over the past year (with my computer being more updated. And yes, even more so than my Clementine player, my iPhone is biased in its "random" sampling. The next shuffle I do will be done with a customized program with unbiased RN generation.

Songs that appeared which I skipped on the poll:
Muse - Darkshines: Muse appeared yesterday, let's give them a break
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven: Yeah... I want a competitive poll, not a unanimous winner
Tool - Die Eier von Satan: Filler track...
Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?: Repeat artist
[redacted] - [redacted]: A song I created for a school project listed under my real name

Edit: Turns out three of the artists in this poll are from Finland.

As always, here are the videos, with PA-admitted artists starred and proposed/suggested artists clapping:

Nightwish - Scaretale:



Arctic Monkeys - You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were Staring Straight At Me [An annoying title imo]



Avenged Sevenfold- Buried Alive



Ensiferum - Lai Lai Hei



Boston - Let Me Take You Home Tonight



Apocalyptica - Hall of the Mountain King

Boston - Let Me Take You Home Tonight

So the whole "shock value" aspect of the song didn't exactly work on me, since I could understand the whole thing from my first listen. The whole purpose of the song is to generate controversy since the average listener wouldn't understand the lyrics to this passionate and angry German speaker on top of scary industrial sounds and a cheering crowd. It's just a recipe for hash cookies without eggs, but frankly, they'd probably be bland and tasteless without eggs tbh. Some obnoxious Tool fans insist that the emphasis of "Und keine eier," that is "And no eggs," is actually an analogy for Jewish people since a cookie would become bland without eggs and society would become bland without Jews. But as a Jewish person, I think that theory is preposterous. They're just trolling. And that is why I dislike Tool fanboys.
