Re: Unacclaimed Song Game: Rules, Signup and Discussion!

Hey Moonbeam,

I just tried my link, and it looks like it's broken. Could you replace it with this youtube link? Sorry about that...I couldn't actually view the original link at the time... :(

new link for Jars of Clay, "Liquid"

Thanks!

Re: Unacclaimed Song Game: Rules, Signup and Discussion!

i'm somehow a multiple legged sucker for Nirvana (love & hate & love 2 hate & stuff, you know), so Rainbow Chaser's on my menu card, at the bottom of the fruit de mer section..

Strangely enough, I got your first link to work but can't get this one, as it seems to be blocked in my country!

Well, I guess we could post both then...

Re: Unacclaimed Song Game: Rules, Signup and Discussion!

I already love that Nirvana more than Cobain's nj, great song.

Re: Unacclaimed Song Game: Rules, Signup and Discussion!

Can't wait to see this tournament organized and start listening.

I'm glad there's space for a second selection (or am I too late... maximum 64 right?).

My second choice is something that I think would sound a little off-kilter to those not exposed to Deerhoof, but it touches a really happy place inside of me.

Deerhoof - Milk Man

Deerhoof built up enough buzz to have their 2005 album Runners Four and 2006 Friend Opportunity get to the bubbling under level, but this title track from their 2004 album serves as what I think is their most fundamental musical statement. I'll save more thoughts for later when it's put into competition. Enjoy!

p.s. The youtube clip was cut off at the end so I provided a Hype Machine link

I really don't understand why this gem is not in the Top 3000 songs. Unbelievable.

Nina Simone - Sinner Man


This song isn't top 3000??? Sounds like it should be top 200 at least.

Re: Unacclaimed Song Game: Rules, Signup and Discussion!

for my second nomination i'll try Lisa Germano's Puppet from 1993's Happiness.

after seeing a larger amount of rock tracks, i prefer now switch India.Arie's (maybe next time) to Liz Phair's Slave. i saw someone cite her over here,so i'll nominate this track

Re: Unacclaimed Song Game: Rules, Signup and Discussion!

I also though of nominate a Girly Sound track! Especially: White Babies, 6 DIck Pimp, Ant in Alaska, Gigalo, Love Song and In Love With Yourself. I'll save some of them for the next round! It's pretty hard to me to pick underrated songs, because almost everything i have is AM certificated, the artist, song or album (bubbling under counting)

Re: Unacclaimed Song Game: Rules, Signup and Discussion!

If there's room for my second nomination, it's Mark Joseph's Lady Lady

Like my first nomination, I have a better version in my music collection. The original version I have preserves the song's authenticity with every sound on it made and arranged by Joseph. This version I found on Youtube is after some American producer has got hold of his album and made him change the lyrics, rearrange and rerecord it.

Re: Unacclaimed Song Game: Rules, Signup and Discussion!

I am really happy that i ended up being to late to nominate "Sinner Man" as my second nominee. This means that i will have the chanse for yet one more of my unacclained favorites.
The Decemberists - "A record year for rainfall"

This is just one of my all time grey fall day favorites.

Re: Unacclaimed Song Game: Rules, Signup and Discussion!

The Divine Comedy first 2 albums are IMO his best. This is "lucy". The words are a poem by Worsworth (well in fact a mix of 2 poems)

The Divine Comedy - Lucy (1993)

I'm sorry to say that your nomination is Number 65. I think 64 is the max for the first run of this game to see how it pans out! I hope you don't mind...

That said, we have our final 64!!! Now I need to establish brackets and get the game rolling.

YEESSS ! This game will be the best game in this forum !

Re: Unacclaimed Song Game: Rules, Signup and Discussion!

Now that we have our songs, please let me know how you feel the tournament should be run here.

Re: Unacclaimed Song Game: Rules, Signup and Discussion!

Here's a spotify playlist with most of the songs:
