15 noms in. I'm off line from around 2pm until at least 11pm, maybe later depending on what happens on the ward tonight. Will try and get noms up as soon as I get home assuming there's around 20 noms. Any objections to giving more time if we're short of that number?

In with a full virgin (so the band hasn't been nommed either). Was a bit uncertain which path to go down, decided to go the virgin route to make it easier for me.

I reckon 26-27 hours is long enough for people to nom whatever they want.
(Maybe tag the regulars who haven't submitted a nom)

No point keeping the bulk of us waiting another 12 hours on the off chance you receive 1 or 2 more noms.

edit: on second thought, I don't care. Keep it open until you get 20 noms, if that's what you wanna do.

Yep I've gone a new band also, something I'm not expecting to poll well, but in tact virgin all the same!

I've finally settled on a song which most people should know but to my knowledge is as pure as the driven snow.

I think the 20 year version has Whatever on it. IIRC it was released as a Christmas single over there?
Yeah it was a one off single that was on none of their original albums which is strange as it was one of their biggest hits.

So I can't really relate to Plugger35's stated approach where he doesn't bother listening to the songs he "already knows" and turns his nose up at most of the unfamilar stuff and basically votes on memory.

I don't mean to sound pretentious or over-analytical about it, but saying "I give my votes to the songs I like best" is simplistic. That's what we all do. We all just have our own way of arriving at that conclusion.
That's a bit harsh, I sometimes give votes to unfamiliar songs, I gave 3 votes to that Died Pretty song in the last round that I hadn't heard before, but a lot of the unfamiliar songs I just don't like enough to give votes to over better more familiar songs.

The disadvantage of nomming more obscure stuff that most people haven't heard before is that it's hard to appreciate a new song after just one listen, you usually have to listen to it at least a few times before you can appreciate it and start to like it so it's harder for those songs to get votes over the well known songs that people already like.

I've nommed some great songs that would have been unfamiliar to most people here and they either get donuts or one or two votes at best.

Everybody likes chocolate ice cream.

That vanilla I'd take and whack a big spoonfull of Nescafe blend 43 on it, the strawberry I'd tip out in the sink.
The chocolate in Neapolitan was always my least favourite flavour as a kid, I'd usually just eat the vanilla and strawberry.

Post-round update! (155) Brought to you by little graham "A Billy is an award for the worst song. B-I-L-L-Y"

  • In his last 3 contests, LG has won the Billy which takes his total to 11. He is now officially equal with JoseMourinho for the most Billies in the contest. With that, he also gets another Hall of Shame entry for the double.
  • Barney_stinson gets his maiden podium. Some get it in their debut contest, others don't get their first until their 20th but barney got it in his 4th.
  • Melter gets his 2nd win and 7th podium of the contest. That was his 1st win since his debut 55 rounds ago so he breaks a long drought, well done!
  • Loonerty is now on 1992 votes and is on track to joining the 2000 vote club in his 107th contest.
More to come.
