I saw Beatles and went yeah nahwow, only 16 noms for such an easy topic
Did I forget to nom again?
I was wondering if that was your nom. I'm probably due to give the album another spin.oh shit. I was counting on your votes
How is the Kanye one connected
And Danger Mouse samples Helter Skelter ok
I honestly wouldn't know the answer to that without cheating.Question #9 in today's quiz. Rather fitting. (answers are directly under the questions)

Even so I wouldn 't say all his best work was on display in that list...would you?George Harrison is the Jack Sinclair of the AFL. Underrated, Underappreciated. Voted accordingly
I think it's John. Either him or Paul.I honestly wouldn't know the answer to that without cheating.
Paul MC was obviously the one with no shoes. That's all I knew. I thought Ringo was second, George last, and Lennon first by process of elimination but no idea if I'm right or not.I think it's John. Either him or Paul.
There was one good one, one average one.Even so I wouldn 't say all his best work was on display in that list...would you?
Also tbh, is he really underrated?
Of course you did.There was one good one, one average one.
It's not exactly Here comes the sun but the playlist wasn't exactly beaming and refused to vote for Guitar weeps.
IT was a cheap cash grab. Of all the songs they chose one of the more successful Beatles songs in the SC. I quite enjoyed the covers anyway.Of course you did.
Why do you ignore the paramaters given by a host?
Can you not accept that some rounds are about celebrating the best songs?
There a quite a few of us paying a price listening wise, because songs were nommed way before our time!
If the host says previous podiums OK, I'm gonna honour that.
I'm curious as to your stance.![]()
Fwiw I'm of the same mindset. The reasons being -Of course you did.

Mm.Fwiw I'm of the same mindset. The reasons being -
A. I participate to discover new music and thus, with some exceptions, vote for new-to-me music I enjoy.
B. Songs that have won/podiumed have already been acknowledged as being great and loved so it seems redundant to reward them again (plus by doing so it costs other new noms the chance to get some recognition).
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a much loved song of mine btw. The live Prince tribute was even my favourite song for a period of time. I won't vote for it though given my aforementioned preferences. That's no slight on what an extraordinary achievement the song is.
I'm not saying your rationale is wrong btw. If you play to celebrate the classic hits that's wonderful and I don't want that taken away from you! Indeed there's no wrong way to enjoy the Song Contest. I'm just stating my motivations as you said you were curious![]()
I gave one of his other songs the 5 votes because it was new to me and I really liked it.Mm.
But I'm not saying that Ocha. I too love to discover new music.
What I'm saying is, I'm willing to accept and play by the parameters of the host!
And it isn't even about celebrating 'classic' songs. If a song becomes beloved by many people there is something in that universal appeal usually. And it becomes a classic.
whether for vibe, passion, freshness that lasts over years...like Danny Boy is a classic and Greensleeves. Why? They touch something universal in us.
Yeah, I am interested in the soul, spirit or even psychology of that ...
But again, my usual nomming when there are no podiums allowed, runs to the more unusual I think.
And to close my argument...I think it's insulting for whoever nommed that beautiful song by George, for Purple to dismiss it as a vote grab attempt.
I think that says more about the filter purple is looking through, than the choice of a gorgeous George song that really honours him.
I wish there had been more classic stuff, but it's everyone's personal choice isn't it.
