Awwww, you playing the auld 'poor me' card again Gbg :bawling: At least you put forward songs you like and not purely what you think others might like this time - muchos respecky to you for that!



It's not "poor me". It's "poor you" because it's sad that the rest of you don't know how to appreciate great music. :D

Congratulations to Derek. Looking forward to the next one.

I might play if there's another one. GB should run it. And if it had a certain kind of theme to it, that might be nice.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Good job, Hubby. I would have loved to have seen Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" take the win.

[gbgoodies]

I was thinking it might be nice to do a different kind of theme, instead of just a certain type of music genre. I thought it might be fun to do a song tournament with a subject theme instead, like the song titles must have a place in the title.

It could be kind of generic, like the place doesn't have to be a specific city, state, etc., so generic places would be acceptable. Therefore songs like "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Presley, (a hotel is a place), "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" by Paul Simon, (a schoolyard is a place), and even something generic like "Here, There and Everywhere" by The Beatles, would be acceptable. It could even be stretched to allow "places" like Heaven and Hell.

I like it, but people might have a somewhat hard time thinking of songs for it. Or everyone might end up nominating the same thing at first.

For me, at least, songs specific like that just don't jump right out at me. Or they might be songs I don't really care about.

[Derek Vinyard]

These are great songs Hubby.

[Sexy Celebrity]

A '60s Song Tournament might be doable, especially since we're about to start the '60s Movie Countdown.

I thought it might be fun because it gives the tournament a theme, but it doesn't limit it to any one specific genre.

I keep a text list of all the songs on my MP3 player, so I usually just browse through my list to pick songs, but I'm sure a quick Google search would give you a lot of suggestions.

[gbgoodies]

A '60s Song Tournament might be doable, especially since we're about to start the '60s Movie Countdown.


A '60's tournament could be fun too, but it limits the genre.

Also, Christine asked if we would wait for her to get back from her vacation before we start another song tournament, unless you run it.

In case I forget to say I'm going on me holidays for a week on Sunday so won't be around till the week after. Hope you don't start any new song tournements without me...mind you SC has time to start and finish one before I go ;)

[Gatsby]

A '60's tournament could be fun too, but it limits the genre.

Why? The 60s is a diverse decade for both songs and film.

And what I've been thinking about is an "all-star" song tournament, where the winners and runner-ups of every song tournament go head to head to reveal a true king. It would be easy to participate since most songs are loved by everyone and you don't have to nominate anything.

[gbgoodies]

Why? The 60s is a diverse decade for both songs and film.

There's a certain "feel" to '60's songs that's very different from music that came after it, so all, (or at least most), of the songs will have that '60's "feel". There's nothing wrong with that if that's what you're looking for, but I was hoping for something where the songs are more varied.


And what I've been thinking about is an "all-star" song tournament, where the winners and runner-ups of every song tournament go head to head to reveal a true king. It would be easy to participate since most songs are loved by everyone and you don't have to nominate anything.

This could be fun, but I think the nominations are also a big part of the tournament. It gives everyone something to root for, rather just the people who have already won tournaments.

I actually almost suggested that. An "All Stars" tournament.

But......

but I think the nominations are also a big part of the tournament. It gives everyone something to root for, rather just the people who have already won tournaments.

There's that and... I was gonna say they don't all have to be nominated in a mandatory sort of way. People could pick from the winners and runner ups and maybe add in some songs that have been played a lot, and maybe some new stuff as well..... but you run the risk of people not nominating them all, or enough, and then it isn't really "All Stars" feelish.

I also sort of don't think "All Stars" would be all that fun. If anything, maybe there could be a Song Tournament where nominating past winners is allowed and encouraged, but I don't think that'd be a great twist.

As for the '60s.... I'm not 100% in favor of it, though the '60s had a lot of great music. A lot of it's already been heard in other song tournaments, but I still think it would be nice to have all the songs be from the '60s. The '60s were a pivotal time in music history and we are all about to start a '60s Movie Countdown. And I'd rather hear '60s music than a lot of other stuff people like to nominate..... *shudders*

[Sexy Celebrity]

We could also do '80s Song Tournament Part 2 because I ran that one and it zipped by and wasn't that good.

Or '90s Song Tournament Part 2 or even a Millennium Song Tournament (*shudders*). The other ones were two years ago, with different people playing them. It is possible to do things over again.

I like this idea. Most of us have either had a winning song at this point or a runner up so we would have something to root for.

No, I nominated the runner-up in the Folk Song Tournament, and there have been some other songs that made it to either the winning or runner-up song, so there would be songs for me to root for. I'm just looking for something different this time, rather than the same old "top of the charts" songs. :shrug:
