Everybody puts their favourite artist forward 1st. Only one per person then once everybody has done that we put them in the order of which we will be nominating each artist. If for some reason people join in during the process they can put their artist forward which would be at the end of the list. I just thought this would be a different spin on the game which people might enjoy?

Dragonlord, I doubt very much that your idea's going to work. And re the Neph thing, you didn't exactly 'hold back' when you tried to take over that Christmas songs thread with one of your own.

Meses nonimates Duran Duran....Thank you.

Come on everybody i like this idea...Please join in...PLEASE!

Once again I don't understand the rules, sorry! :-)

Leonard Cohen of course!

Lez,Nom your fav artist (s)....When all thems noms are in weses then votes on ems..And if you're fav artist is n't on the list when the voting starts then you can add it on the end....I Think..

Thanks LO'M

Rufus Wainwright

So far

Van Halen
Duran Duran
Leonard Cohen
Rufus Wainwright.

I can't play. It's a reasonably safe bet that no one will ever have heard of my favourite bands (although I thank LOM for his point for Sunn O))), totally unexpected and ruined my run of numptiness but never mind).

Crowded House

Ryan Adams

So far we have:

Track 1 - Van Halen nominated by myself
Track 2 - Duran Duran nominated by Little Ol' Meses
Track 3 - Leonard Cohen nominated by Mondo Ray
Track 4 - Rufus Wainwright nominated by Lez Lee
Track 5 - Crowded House nominated by telly addict
Track 6 - Ryan Adams nominated by Valerie Henshaw

Thank you very much for all the nominations so far.

For track one we will all nominate a Van Halen song each and then work our way down the list as we go along. We need more people to nominate their favourite artist/band to make this unique spin on the virtual music game work please.

Ryan Adams has won in the new millennium songs CD

Earth & Fire (the Dutch band, nothing to do with Earth , Wind & Fire)

I'm still not quite sure how this is going to work but I'll nominate Deep Purple as a band who haven't won a nomination

Earth ,Wind and Fire (or have they been nominated ?)

Where do I check?

The list is above Carradale... see Dragonlords post....now add Earth And Fire , Deep Purple and Earth, Wind & Fire.

Thanks , Kev. Not really being paying attention have I?

Actually on reviewing the situation I can't help feeling I don't know to which "virtual music game" Dragonlord is referring. Is it another thread of which I know nought? (or is it not?)

Just follow instructions. You talk too much.

Nevermind I love Ryan Adams who would be great person for everyone to research their chosen song for. In fact it was my song song New York, New York that won back then. I would ask if no one nominates the song New York, New York by him please because that song has won in the past and is his most famous song so stands a great chance of winning again.
