    15 more winging their way to you. A few will be duplicates I'm sure, but they had to be included. I threw in a few more leftfield ones too

    Cheers EN. Surprisingly, there has not been that many duplicates for this tournament at all (apart from one song almost everyone has nominated)

    230 songs now and I haven't even added my own songs.

    We have around 280 songs now. I plan to start this on Oct 19th. Format still to be decided. Still accepting noms.

    Each day until kick off, I will post one random song thats been nominated.

    I will let everyone here decide if it should go directly to Round 1. First to 4 yes or no will be the result.

    Hehe, that sounds like that music talent show (is it X-Factor or one of the American?) that take candidates through? :D

    I'll vote yes for The Wonders ;)

    yes Liz, he wrote and directed the film.
    He also wrote some music for the film but not the theme song.

    Face the Boardsies - Day 2

    Sigur Ros - Festival (127 Hours)





    Yes or No to round 1


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    No.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,511 ✭✭✭Purgative


    No.


    You're right, I think there are better tunes.


    So nah.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    That's a no from me Jeff.

    The song was co-written by Adam Schlesinger of the band Fountains of Wayne, who sadly died earlier this year from Covid at the shockingly young age of 52.

    It's a great tune. I feel this would be better if it was restricted to songs that actually came from movies, rather than any old song that just happens to be in a movie. That Thing You Do is certainly a contender. Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney is another that springs to mind.

    I like Sigur Ros, so gonna say Yes

    I had thought of this but it seemed to much to screen. Folk can vote against a song if they don't think it should be there. I think the real movie songs will get to the latter stages of the contest.

    I'm also going to vote No to Sigur Ros.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,145 ✭✭✭Irish Aris


    I'll vote yes for Sigur Ros - big fan in general and one of my favourite live bands ever!!

    (I think I will be like Paula Abdul again, I will just like everything!!! :D

    Absolutely not.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    That's a no from me Sharon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,511 ✭✭✭Purgative


    No from me too. Not a great song for a tacky formulaic film.


    Kol am I right in thinking this one got a lot of noms?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    I'm gonna have to go with No

    Its more likely it only got 1 nomination. Songs with multiple nominations tend to automatically secure a spot in Round 1.
