Thanks for all the PMs. I feel so popular

Gonna close off nominations at 6pm as there has been a great response. I’ll then randomise them all and get the first playlist ready on Spotify and YouTube for tomorrow morning.

The annoying thing about these contests is for days after you enter you keep remembering songs and saying 'ah hell, why didn't I think of that one at the time?'.

Yeah, there's already a few songs I've been thinking that I should have included but oh, well.

Right, I have your homework ready. Just a quick question though - Is scoring each song out of 20 enough to reduce the numbers?

There’s 346 songs in the qualifying round.

Spotify playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2vs0wQFLcgQTtlwqIi597F?si=HZjoiupMQRCKz0gRD-ofQg

YouTube playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOF8MMEgcF4mSDZ48kncH8Vc0LrInVdvT
You’ll have the next batch on Saturday.

Those links aren't working Strawbs? I'm on touch at the moment so it could be just a glitch.

Looking forward to listening in.

They're not working for me either. I posted them via my phone on touch as spotify on there. Now I'm on PC but dunno how to fix them. Any suggestions?

Oh, looks like they're working now.

I'm on my PC and the Youtube link works fine for me. Don't have a Spotify account so no idea if it works or not, but the link does go through to the playlist OK.

ETA: Youtube not working now, it was fine before it was changed to a proper link and I could copy and paste it into a new tab.

Remind us how it will work exactly. We mark all the songs out of 20 here on the thread, you add up all the scores, and then what happens? How is it determined which songs move on and which are knocked out?

Strawbs do you have the YouTube settings set to public? I know when I shared previously I had that issue

'Stand By Your Man'
Tammy Wynette


LYRICS
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man.
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times,
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him,
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him oh be proud of him,
'Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man,
Give him two arms to cling to,
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man,
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man,
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man...

I’m gonna make tea and see what the story is. I’ve never used youtube like this before so bare with

Would it be better for you to just group each song or categorise based on era or genre so the playlists would be shorter than 300+ - it would br like us voting on a walrus of twenty songs each round

Or am I just putting too much stock in great female singers/songwriters and hoping it's not Mariah Carey
