AMF WC Classics Edition 119

Post by spiritualized »

Hello everyone,
It's time for instalment n°119 of the Classics Chart, where YOU get to nominate and vote for the best songs ever in a tournament to the death ! Only the cream of the crop will go through the grueling EIGHT weeks of charting.

Nominations will follow the rules below

- only one of the first top 1000 AM songs can be nominated each week.
- A maximum of six of the top AM 1001-10000 songs can be nominated each week.
- that leaves a minimum of 3 places each week reserved for un-acclaimed songs (if you want more than 3, the fourth + unranked song will take the spot of a second tier one)

The top 10 songs by votes (then by most recent nominations) will move on to the next week. In case of equal votes and starting weeks, more songs can advance to the next week. The 10 (or less) new nominations will be added to the pool for the next contest. In case there are less than 20 songs to compete, a randomised song from the 10000 AM songs will be added.

After 8 weeks in the top 10, the song will move to the Hall of Fame.

:scared-shocked: 106 votes last week (-29)
:scared-shocked: Fleetwood Mac - The Chain retakes the top spot
:scared-shocked: 3 new entries : Jeff Buckley / Aldous Harding / Jimmy Eat World
:text-bump: Kicked out this week : A Tribe Called Quest
:text-bump: Two Hoffers this week : ELO / Led Zeppelin

Yeah, we can ignore COVID-laden Nugent for the time being but maybe an Alice Cooper nom? Suzi Quatro anyone?

Sorry Brad, it's a second AM 1000 nomination, so it's not eligible. There were only 9 noms possible anyway.

Thanks !
