Best song about a real-life topic/incident? "Real-life topic" gets a little hairy, though -- drug use and sex are "real life" topics. Maybe it should be "Best song about a real-life person or real-life newsworthy event"?
These might be akin to the various Technical Oscars, which are given for non-categorical achievements.
Joe stopped paying attention again months ago.Doug B said:
No, I meant that "real-life topic" was too general of a category description. Anything can be a real-life topic. For documentary songs, the description would have to be narrowed down to something like "songs about specific persons, places, or events". There are many interesting choices.
Is this for 2017 or all-time?Mr. Ected said:
I'm thinking that they are all all-time, with the exception of the 'In Memorium' That is within the last 12 months. Or should we go 2017 for that?

I have adjusted the list on the second post to match yours. I had just copied one from the Genrepalooza thread.I'm in. I like this list better than yours though
17 simplifies it which is cool with me. And my idea was all time for every other category. Only other limitation would be Cecil B has to be a living artist.
I'm not sure about best produced, I think maybe @krista4 thought of that. What came to my mind was in relation to hip-hop and the beat making process, but also there's some pretty famous producers that really enhanced the band (that other Beatle for example).
So I can't just pick a Rush song for each of the categories? Except the In Memorium, of course.
There's a wonderful brewery in Marshall Michigan called Dark Horse. The brewers are total metal heads and punk rockers, they host lots of concerts there and have a fantastic jukebox. They have a big sign that says "Under no circumstances shall you play AC/DC. Please do not play AC/DC. No seriously, don't ####### play a single AC/DC song ever." I would love to hang that sign in here but substitute Rush for AC/DC.So I can't just pick a Rush song for each of the categories? Except the In Memorium, of course.
Fly By Night is a cool song. Under no circumstances should any place that bans AC/DC be taken seriously.
There are a couple categories that you could squeeze a Rush song in.There's a wonderful brewery in Marshall Michigan called Dark Horse.

In no way would I go for best vocal! 
I like AC/DC. I'm not sure what their angle is- I don't think it's irony though. The place is great though- a punk/metal/skater beer paradise in the middle of a Bible Belt town.
Clientele and the attendant AC/DC hick drag, maybe? Or just a hatred of three chord songs?
if the owners of said brew house are into punk, then three chord snobbery is off the table, no?
That's what I'm getting at. As always, my friend, you get it...I think it's an in-joke or just hatred of AC/DC clientele.if the owners of said brew house are into punk, then three chord snobbery is off the table, no?
In general, no they don't have anything to do with the movies, with the exception of the Soundtrack Category. We are just using an Oscar-like theme for the categories.
Or, are they handled like they are in the real Oscars, handled earlier at a non-televised event?
You know me, I like shorter draftsOr, are they handled like they are in the real Oscars, handled earlier at a non-televised event?
ETA: If we wanted to go to 25 rounds, we could fit them in. What do people think?
