Favourite tracks of all time with a twist. The twist is, you have to send in the name of your favourite track (and artist) of all time into me, by clacks. Once I have them, I will post the tracks, and you will have to guess who selected that track. Simple. non? If you can't decide, just pick one of your faves. If you post in here once you've sent, then when 8* people have replied, I'll post the tracks and everyone else can match them up with the posters. Then if there's enough interest, we'll go again. *Why 8? Because.
Nadnerb, are you entering? Only I haven't received an entry from you yet, I only have three, from the others that have replied so far.
First Round Contestants Mynona, ChrisJordan, Sleepy_Sarge, Toaf, Cynical Youth, Hex, Delphine & Tephlon. The songs: 1) The End 2) Under the Bridge 3) Like a Hurricane 4) Free Bird 5) Pinch Me 6) If You're Feeling Sinister 7) Nothing Else Matters 8) No More Tears You may have noticed that I didn't put the artists, they will be added later for clues if people aren't close. So I ask you, who chose what song? 3 points if you match someone at this stage, 1 point if you get it after the artists are revealed. For fairness, the posters mentioned are only allowed to guess in this round by PM. edit: had to disable smileys because 8) is the cool face...

Points so far: Cynical_Youth: 6 points Tephlon: 0 points Mooseman: 3 points Dane: 3 points NB: You don't get any points for matching your own song! Any other entries in this first round?
I want to guess later, Ben, but I am busy with work right now. Give me a bit of time! I'll also PM you with mine.
OK, PM received Grace. This round is still open to guesses, and I haven't set a limit on when entries should be in by, but the sooner the better!
No fair! Some (at least one) song is by multiple people .. I think the next round should be bands instead of songs. Here's my two cents: Sleepy Sarge - Free Bird Delphine - Under The Bridge Hex - No More Tears Chris Jordan - Nothing Else Matters Toaf - Pinch Me Cynical Youth - If You're Feeling Sinister Mynona - Like A Hurricane Tephlon - The End
At the end of the working day, I shall reveal the artists as well. Note that after this, only one point per correct guess is on offer, rather than the three we have currently. So if you're confident about getting 2 or 3 at this point, it is best to guess now.
1) The End..................................Tephlon 2) Under the Bridge ...................Mynona 3) Like a Hurricane ....................Sleepy_Sarge 4) Free Bird ................................Hex 5) Pinch Me .................................Toaf 6) If You're Feeling Sinister ..........Cynical Youth 7) Nothing Else Matters.................ChrisJordan 8 ) No More Tears..........................Delphine pmed my song for the next round and attempting to do this with no clue whatsoever...
Time's up! I'm adding the artists. All subsequent posts will only receive one point per correct answer. Contestants Mynona, ChrisJordan, Sleepy_Sarge, Toaf, Cynical Youth, Hex, Delphine & Tephlon. The songs: 1) The End - Greenwheel 2) Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers 3) Like a Hurricane - Neil Young 4) Free Bird - Lynrd Skynrd 5) Pinch Me - Barenaked Ladies 6) If You're Feeling Sinister - Belle & Sebastian 7) Nothing Else Matters - Metallica 8) No More Tears - Ozzy Osbourne
Edit: Gah! I crossposted with Ben! Ben, may I still have my 3 points each for correct answers, considering I hadn't read your post? This was really difficult. I couldn't get my answers to logically fit in with what's already gone, but in the end I couldn't get my head round it, so I gave up. Here's my guess: Mynona - No more tears Chris - Pinch me Sarge - Like a hurricane Toaf - If you're feeling sinister CY - Nothing else matters Hex - Under the bridge Snails - Free bird Tephlon - The end
Hmm, I'll guess I'll be kind and allow you 3 points per correct answer, as I trust you. I hope that Clay will tell me if you burst into a maniacal laugh after reading this. Get your guesses in folks!
Gah! I crossposted with Ben too!Can I still have my 3 points each for correct answers, considering I hadn't read your post? This was hard for me, I did these alone of course, here we go: Mynona - No more tears Chris - Pinch me Sarge - Like a hurricane Toaf - If you're feeling sinister CY - Nothing else matters Hex - Under the bridge Snails - Free bird Tephlon - The end
OK, I've decided a little over 24 hours left to guess for this round. I will reveal the answers and all the points tomorrow evening (in the UK), and then start the next round!

Round 2 Players: Victimov8, Freya, Mooseman, Dane, Buzzfloyd, Spiky, Andalusian, Electric_Man 1) Indifference 2) Face To Face 3) Northwest Passage 4) Welcome Home Sanitarium 5) You Get What You Give 6) Space Truckin' 7) She will be loved 8) What went wrong
So, points table for round one: Buzzfloyd*: 12 points Cynical_Youth*: 6 points Colonesque10: 4 points Freya: 4 points Dane*: 3 points Delphine: 3 points Mooseman*: 3 points Sampanna:* 3 points Spiky*: 3 points Toaf*: 3 points Tephlon*: 0 points So Grace is the person to beat, Tephlon is currently in the coveted wooden spoon position. It could all change after this second round though... * awarded 3 points per guess
Watch me slide, stoically, down the rankings as I make my attempt on Round 2 (PM sent, Electric_Man). It was pretty much guesswork, apart from two ....and one of those was me!. *wanders off singing the theme tune to "Button Moon"*
:shock: I've only herd of two of those and one's mine! watch me as i make my rise through the ranks...ok fall
Not too bad Dane, you got two right, which is twice as many as Freya. Anybody else getting in on the guessing action?
Zero! At least I got my own choice right. Didn't I? I did, didn't I? Bugger. *"We're off to Button Moon, to visit Mr Spoon......"*
No-no, if Dane has two, and he has twice as many as you, then you got... one! And that isn't including your own, so rejoice!
I'll be guessing later. Haven't had a chance to look at the board for several days, so I'm a bit behind.
Ah. Yes. Well. I mean't to do that, of course. Hah, Hah. *Curse those misfiring neurons in my left hemisphere!* On the other hand...... one correct answer. Woo Hoo! Having hijacked the thread with my lament, example of poor logic and subsequent rejoicing.... Round 2 Players: Victimov8, Freya, Mooseman, Dane, Buzzfloyd, Spiky, Andalusian, Electric_Man 1 ) Indifference 2 ) Face To Face 3 ) Northwest Passage 4 ) Welcome Home Sanitarium 5 ) You Get What You Give 6 ) Space Truckin' 7 ) She will be loved 8 ) What went wrong
unfotunately neither have i. Although I now have the next two weeks off so hopefully I'll be able to keep up with the board for a wile
