Hey everyone. Here is a game from way back in the fb.net day that was a lot of fun. Rules are copy/pasted from the original thread, started by Ramona:
I've stolen this from the Elvis Costello site. The person who started it there stole it from the Bob Mould site. This is how it goes - we start with 10 songs.
Here are the rules (stolen almost verbatim from the Bob Mould site)
I'll start by listing TEN SONGS in no particular order that live in the Tower of Song. These are to be the best of the best.
The next person to post has to THROW ONE SONG OFF of the Tower of Song list I started. You don't have to pick the last song or the top song - any song you want off is fine. In its place, he/she must put in a NEW SONG. This will last a given amount of time and the songs that lasted the longest are the ten songs that live in the Tower of Song -- the true classics as collectively determined by us.
Once a song has been thrown off, IT CAN'T BE BROUGHT BACK, so you'll have to pay attention. You can repeat a particular artist or group as much as you like (e.g. if one Beatles song you like gets tossed, add a different song by them), but once a song has been disposed of, it's banished from the TOWER for good. It therefore may not behoove you to post up your absolute favorite song in the world first, hehe. A bit of strategy might be in order if you want your truest gem of a tune to stay in the game.
Third rule: No Frank Black/Pixies Songs (that part wasn't on the Bob Mould site) -- That's just too obvious
- - - - - -
So, our game will run until Memorial Day in the USA, May 28, 2007. I am going to put ten songs that i happen to love, and you all can decide how to sully the list with your own foolish choices:
Tower of Song - Leonard Cohen
Judy is a Punk - Ramones
Stereo - Pavement
Caravan - Duke Ellington/Charles Mingus/Max Roach
Good Vibrations - Beach Boys
You Were Right - Built to Spill
Birdhouse in Your Soul - They Might Be Giants
I've Just Seen A Face - Beatles
Temptation - Tom Waits
Fashion - David Bowie
