    Love it! How many songs can we nominate?

    And I assume you want nominations via PM?

    Yep. Nominate via PM as per normal.

    Sounds like you're giving yourself a lot of work to do, but I ain't complaining. :D

    Will start getting a list together.

    We should co-ordinate so we don't submit the same 15.

    :pac:

    I've definitely gone for some songs that won't be everyone's taste, but screw it, I like them :)

    15 is nowhere near enough; I need at least 50. :p

    I probably listen to as many, if not more, female vocalists than male so this is very difficult to whittle down. I'm trying to keep myself to just one song per artist, think I'll submit right now before I change my mind yet again.

    Best way to do it; screw everyone else's taste because you know you're right! ;)

    Though it is still slightly soul-crushing when nobody else votes for a song you submitted, as has happened to me many times in the 'Best Of...' decade threads. :(

    That’s why the qualifying round is points scored, homer. I’ll post so many entries and won’t post the next batch till the following day so no excuse not to listen to everything.

    Just narrowing down my list now, even with 15 entries, this is tough going.

    I like the twist for the first Round - means songs people don't know get a fair chance.

    I actually listen to very few female vocalists. I'd struggle to gather 5 never mind 15.

    I'll definitely got more than a few leftovers after my own nominations, if you're looking for suggestions ;)

    Ah no, I was only messing. Wouldn't be fair, it'd be the same as having extra nominations.

    Sent, it was difficult to pick just 15. I picked a few songs i think no one else will choose but i did also add one or two that might be duplicated, i wasn't taking the risk of them not being on this. I have quiet a few old songs from 50s and 60s, there was so many brilliant songs from that era

    Right, entries in! It was a lot of fun doing the nominations for this one - even rediscovered one or two forgotten favourites along the way.

    Up to 9 myself at the moment. I don't think any of mine will get a single vote other than from myself, fairly niche selection so far and I have a few songs from the same artist/ band.

    Once I start writing them down loads are coming to me. I'm on 21 so in the cutting phase now. Just as well ASLB didn't give me any so.

    Would a female & male duet be allowed?

    Had to check the OP myself for that question, and am concluding that it is allowed:

    Nor does the singer have to be the lead, they just have to have sung the song nominated.
