For this very special installment of LMO, Thomas and Matt have yet another contest! They've both brought in 5 songs to share with the other person, with the question being - is the song they've brought in one that they enjoy, or dislike? How well do the boys know each other's taste after all this time? Whoever gets more points by the end DOESN'T have to binge Taylor Swift's discography for a future episode...
