Yeah, that’s why I listed Country Blues, Ragtime and Gospel. Alot of the stuff for that was recorded in the early part of the 20th century (Mostly 20’s onward). Some of that is “traditional” songs where the original is from like 1885 or of an unknown origin. And some traditional songs have been reworked by countless other artists as part of the rediscovery stuff from the folk revival in the 50’s/60’s. It’s all eligible.

I’m not sure if that answers your question. Do whatever you want really. However, anything recorded after 1989 is not eligible.

i think the issue i’m having and maybe skydiver too is that once you say the earlier the better, you make it clear that anything from 1989 would lose to a 1930. so the category is a bit strange to me. It’s like if i say a song about crime, but al capone will be better than other criminals.

like just set a time frame you actually do want and then judge the songs equally based on how much you like them. at least that’s how i see it.

106

The time frame is pre-90’s. (To be nice to millennials that don’t know music older than themselves).

Enter whatever you want that is before the 90’s (Worst music decade ever).

I will judge by how much I like the songs.

My Musical Taste and what I’m less familiar with favors older stuff.

Do what thou wilt.

107

you do know the average age here is 98? anyway i seem to be failing at expressing my thought here so i’ll let it go.

I will take most of the time to the deadline but I’m working on it

111

I feel uninspired. Any advice?

113

Sky is a big fan of misogyny, so I think Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy should do well.

For NBZ submit Let It Be by The Beatles, to put the controversy from the precious grab bag to rest.

Pick whatever is at the top of the new music charts for Pauwl.

Lmk if that helps and I can give you some inspiration for other categories.

For seities category, pick a song that talks about coins. Nickels and dimes etc. He asked for change.

Here’s hoping that everyone at least submits the same Nickelback song so that the ranking is easy…

It takes all the strength I have to not send Bat Out Of Hell to pyatnitski. My advice is to avoid Meat Loaf altogether.

What I find hilarious is that I have a few tracks in my library that are longer than 23 minutes and 23 seconds but less than 24 minutes.

Don’t send me Bat out of Hell, but the records will show I voted for it at least once.

Pyat is among the only 2 that I’ve already decided on.

121

So far, I’ve picked out six entries and I am convinced I’ve picked at least a couple of one-pointers.

122

I’m at the stage where everything I’ve picked seems like it will win easily. That stage usually passes.

123

Same. Gun to my head and I can submit a song for every category. For some categories I can even shoehorn some of my favorite songs in there and tell myself I have a shot at the podium. The categories where I wish I had better candidates are by eyebooger, seities and Yuv.

FURTHER IMPORTANT ADMIN NOTE

When you send your PMs, can you put a blank line and 4 spaces before the youtube link, so it appears like so:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLzxrzFCyOs

Seems to be the only way I can then easily copy & paste the link out.

THANK YOU MESSAGE ENDS
