Tower of Song

[ert90]

Not sure how this will work but let's try it out ...

For the first ten posts, everyone'll place one song on an imaginary tower. The song can be any genre, as long as it's by a band that's signed to a record label, whether indie or major. (that means you can't be using this to advertise your friend's band)

As soon as the tower has 10 songs, the object of each player is to remove one song they hate and add one song they like.

No matter what position you remove a song from, you must place your new song at the bottom of the tower. As the game goes on, the songs that have been on the tower for more posts will be on top, and the new entries will be at the bottom.

I'll start it off with Loud Reed.

Loud Reed - I'm So Free

[masada]

So it's like song vs song but more complicated.

[Greg Ginn]

Big BLack - Cables

[BJ_maddog]

Stranglers - Golden Brown

[Sepstrup]

Tom Waits - Tango Till They're Sore

[ert90]

You actually add the first 10 as you go. So right now the list is:

Lou Reed - I'm So Free
Big BLack - Cables
Lou Reed - Perfect Day
Stranglers - Golden Brown
Tom Waits - Tango Till They're Sore

Once it gets to 10 is when you start subtracting and adding.

Leonard Cohen - Tower of Song

[Sepstrup]

Haha, knew that would come.

Pulp - Common People

[Greg Ginn]

Leonard Cohen - Tower of Song

I had a feeling that would end up on the list.

[Up The Irons]

Velvet Underground- There She Goes Again

[sgrevs]

Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister

[ert90]

Guess I didn't explain this. You copy and paste the list for every new post.

Lou Reed - I'm So Free
Big BLack - Cables
Lou Reed - Perfect Day
Stranglers - Golden Brown
Tom Waits - Tango Till They're Sore
Leonard Cohen - Tower Of Song
Pulp - Common People
Velvet Underground - There She Goes Again
Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
Gnarls Barkley - The Last Time

Now the next person will copy and past the ten songs above me. From that list they subtract one song and add another song of their choice to the bottom of the list. That's the game.

Lou Reed - I'm So Free
Big BLack - Cables
Lou Reed - Perfect Day
Stranglers - Golden Brown
Tom Waits - Tango Till They're Sore
Leonard Cohen - Tower Of Song
Pulp - Common People

Stranglers - Golden Brown
Tom Waits - Tango Till They're Sore

Pulp - Common People
Xiu Xiu - Little Panda McElroy
Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
Gnarls Barkley - The Last Time

[Sepstrup]

add another song of their choice to the bottom of the list

So the list would look like this:

Lou Reed - I'm So Free
Lou Reed - Perfect Day
Stranglers - Golden Brown
Tom Waits - Tango Till They're Sore
Leonard Cohen - Tower Of Song
Pulp - Common People
Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
Gnarls Barkley - The Last Time
Xiu Xiu - Little Panda McElroy
Aphex Twin - Windowlicker

Yay, Tom Waits at the top. I love all the songs I know on that list...

[Matt?]

wait do you have to remove a song you hate or can you just remove the song you least like?

[Sepstrup]

He said hate, but since people choose good songs, that'd be pretty impossible. I'd say least like. I just haven't heard that many of these songs, and added two of them myself, so I don't really have anything I could take off the list.
