    Ah yeah, that's always my plan. Just sometimes there's one staring you in the face, jumping around shouting "pick me, pick me" :pac:

    I tend to pick a mix of unknowns and known, don't want to be coming rock bottom ;)

    17 entries in at the moment, and there's one category where I know every single song... You can probably guess which category that is... ;)

    The heaven/hell category is the one I'm having most trouble finding something suitable for so far that isn't too obvious.

    Presumably just having heaven/angel etc in the title isn't enough? What about songs about a funeral or death in general?

    I'd say having something in the title is enough. And yes to your second question, that sounds good to me.

    It doesn't have to have a reference in the title though. Of all the categories, that's definitely the broadest and most open to interpretation

    Go for it. I've already got a 17 and a half minute song so you wouldn't be alone. If it's a good song happy days, if it's a sh1te song, you will feel my wrath come judgement day... :D

    Meatloaf is a stretch for the animal round. Does he have anything heaven or hell related? :p

    Well Nightwish has a song called The Greatest Show on Earth that is over 24 minutes long. God is mentioned only the once in the lyrics so may not qualify :p

    I see your 24 minutes and raise you 24hrs!
    And it qualifies for round one - "7 Skies H3" by Flaming Lips :D

    I didn't actually even attempt to listen to it, so dunno if it's good or not, just the thought of something that long would put me off. :D

    I'll try get an entry in over the weekend, though am struggling to pick for a lot of these - some have too many good candidates, others not enough!
