They get DQ'dWhat happens is a poster doesn't get votes in by deadline?
Sorry for any misunderstanding on my part mbr, I'm not trying to put words in your mouth.Mm.
But I'm not saying that Ocha. I too love to discover new music.
Everyone who participates in a round is playing by the parameters set by the host. But just because a host allows winners/podiums doesn't mean a contestant is obliged to vote for them.What I'm saying is, I'm willing to accept and play by the parameters of the host!
That's beautifully put and I wholeheartedly agree!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 ...
You nom great stuff and I'm thankful for your participation! I'm not criticising those that nom podiums when the host allows it. Again I vote according to my preferences.But again, my usual nomming when there are no podiums allowed, runs to the more unusual I think.
It's hard to know the motivations of why a song is nommed.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.
It does reflect Purple's filter but the filter isn't inherently wrong, just as yours isn't wrong either. It comes back to Sociology principle 101 - Everybody experiences things differently. I won't speak for Purple but am pretty sure he would think highly of the song.I think that says more about the filter purple is looking through, than the choice of a gorgeous George song that really honours him.
That's absolutely fair enough! I suspect others want a bit more freedom in what they can nom though hence the participation being lower than usual. I was umming and ahhing about participating myself tbh as listening to the greatest hits of the Beatles isn't interesting on a personal level as I can do that on Tidal myself. I also knew I'm going to have no chance of winning/probably going to win the Billy lol.I wish there had been more classic stuff, but it's everyone's personal choice isn't it.
I find that each round - because I joined so late, many of the songs I would love to nom were taken ages ago. It become a chore, more than a joy, to find 'new songs' some weeksOf course you did.
Why do you ignore the parameters 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.
I can send you a list of my faves - have heaps that haven’t been nominatedI find that each round - because I joined so late, many of the songs I would love to nom were taken ages ago. It become a chore, more than a joy, to find 'new songs' some weeks
I'll be rightI can send you a list of my faves - have heaps that haven’t been nominated
Only when I go down the 80s and 90s songs. don't think you think much of my black/death metalI'll be right
it's Purple's and Plugger's songs I rate the most lol
I find the rounds where I have to find new songs the best. I found Ellende the other week from a search round. I found several other artists that way too. It's great to break out of your comfort zone. I'm very reluctant to nominate something that's previously nominated. I think i've done it less than a handful of times.I find that each round - because I joined so late, many of the songs I would love to nom were taken ages ago.

I'd love to nominate Icehouse - Great Southern Land but I wont. I'd love to nominate Band of Horses - The Funeral but I won't.Sorry for any misunderstanding on my part mbr, I'm not trying to put words in your mouth.

It's hard to know the motivations of why a song is nommed.
I can only speak for myself who sometimes does nom things in the hopes of it doing well Eg - Caroline Palochek (a success) or Adele (not well received).
Sometimes I like to nom something that pushes buttons or won't do well but want to show my taste, or lack thereof lol. Eg This rounds nom, Kabin Crew, Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, Emahoy Tsege etc etc.

In the end I'm thankful for the unexpected variety this round had and that I nommed something. This round was a pleasant surprise from my perspective but probably a disappointment to others for the exact same reason.
