Acclaimed Music Forums

Hello to all,

Here's an idea which has bugged me for a while - we all have songs we love and I would love to be able to have a platform to share them on - the MAA and overlooked, etc... are great games, but the turnover is rather slow. I thought I could use the AMF Weekly Chart format to allow people to nominate ANY song, no holds-barred and pit them against each other in a voting contest. Same rules, Top 10 stay with 10 new nominations each round.

Not sure if the weekly format suits this, so I would play it by ear.

All I need to gauge interest is 20 nominations, and see what happens.

So, from a playlist of 18671 great songs, here is my random nomination :

Bob Dylan - Million Miles

[quite suited for a "classics" edition ]

I like it.
The Smiths - How Soon is Now?

Wow a sure Hoffer this one
I think this could end up turning into the "ultimate" forum Hall of Fame

I like this idea quite a bit

My nomination is "Blue Motel Room" by Joni Mitchell

Yeah for sure! I’ll try to go for more obscure stuff next time around but I figured I’d start with an oldie but a goodie.

Ok, I’ll go ahead:

Leon Haywood - I Want’a Do Something Freaky to You

I'll Play along:

The Fall - Paint Work

The Shaggs - My Pal Foot Foot

Isaac Hayes - Walk On By (lp version)

John Cale | Paris 1919

Au Pairs | Headache for Michelle

Noisettes - Every Now and Then

If we're going to make this work, I think there needs to be a limit to how many songs from the AM list can be included each week (with the limits becoming less strict as you go farther down the list).

Right now, I'll nominate:

Pixes - Silver

Hooverphonic - Mad About You

I just listened to this... No comments - talk about novelty music. Or just novelty.
Cross fingers, this may be another Hoffer...!

I only bring the highest quality music to the attention of others.

8 more nominations needed ! Novelty or not, nominate away !

Darude - Sandstorm

Small Faces - Tin Soldier

Don Henley - 'Dirty Laundry' (some things will never change-unfortunatley timeless & relevant lyrics)

Spoon - The Underdog

Almost there ! 4 nominations and we are go ! It'd be great if 20 different forumers nominated !

"Everything has chains absolutely nothing's changed..."

Pearl Jam - Corduroy (not even bubbling under in AM)

Declan O'Rourke - Galileo

Brad, is that the 12:00 version ?

If you don't mind...

Nic Jones - The Humpback Whale

Calexico - Cumbia de Donde

That's IT Thanks to all, the chart will be up soon ! Exciting times with a varied selection
