The New DDD Song Tournament



Soooo... Let's give the song tournament another go. I, for one, am very excited!

The idea of the tournament is to introduce new music to all the DDDrs. Or maybe just get people hooked into some tracks! We are all music freaks, so let's take everything out of it.





Info about nominations:

- Each poster gets to nominate 2 songs.

- Nominated songs should be posted like this:



- If the artist can't be found on Grooveshark, you can post a Youtube-link. Please avoid music videos though, this is only a music tourney.

- There is no existing criteria for the songs being nominated. There is only one thing I ask you to follow: please don't nominate the most well-known hits by famous bands, but rather try to introduce us to some of the lesser known hits. If you want to nominate a song by The Beatles, for example, please don't just nominate "Yesterday" and be done with it. Instead, use some common sense and nominate a song not everybody knows. This way, we will keep the tourney more interesting.

- And finally, nominate songs that you (and possibly others) enjoy!




Info about the tourney:

- There will be 2 match-ups (4 songs) at the same time: after the time runs out, the songs with more votes win, and the next 2 match-ups enter in.

- The match-ups will last for 1-2 days, depending on the amount of voters at that moment.

- Please listen to the present songs before voting.

- If there aren't enough votes in few days, the songs with more votes will (obviously) win, and the next match-ups enter the game.



That's enough of rambling, I'm sure you all know how to handle this. Let's get started with nominations.

Bring it on, Bruce. I'm waiting for your nominations so bad.

ANY song with a music video is disqualified. Mention that, seriously, fuck music videos. Especially for people with slow net speed. Still think we can do 3 per poster.

Also, STICKY !

Anyway, from me....

Thank GOD there's a limit

Whatever the fuck "Grooveshark" is, it's not gonna have the shit I would nominate.

Come on, Jorge, EVERYBODY knows "Golden Years."

"Here Comes a Regular" ~ The Replacements
http://grooveshark.com/s/Here+Comes+A+R ... du7x?src=5

"A King at Night" ~ Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
http://grooveshark.com/s/A+King+At+Night/2SqPdV?src=5

Are these songs okay? I hope so!

EDIT - Btw, Bruce, just out of curiosity I looked up your songs on grooveshark and found "Sweet Rockin Mama" pretty easily.

Erykah Badu - Honey

http://grooveshark.com/s/Honey/2siy69?src=5


D'angelo - Africa

http://grooveshark.com/s/Africa/4CfHaV?src=5

How about the Todd Rhodes?

How about a couple of smaller hits:

2 songs Bruce...2 songs

Per post, right :-)

no, the idea is just two songs total, so everyone gets their favorites represented, and the size of the tournament is small and manageable

Quick idea for disqualifications. How about if a song gets three "too popular" votes, it's out?
