Middle Aged Dummies!! Artists #1's have been posted!! (2 Viewers)

[Zegras11]

Hello music fans!

This one is going to be simple.

1) Choose ONE ARTIST.

2) Send in your list of songs, ranked in the order you like them. Minimum = 20 songs. Maximum = 31 songs. Can be any number of songs from 20-31.
If the artist is on the song, you can list it. Does not have to be strictly that artist. (If some one chose U2, andanother Green Day, they could each list the Saints are Coming)

3) PM me your Artist preference list in order. Don't over think this. Most are leaving 2-4 artists. You will get your first choice if no one else also lists that artist.

If two or more have the same artist ranked #1, then I will put them in a randomizer and email binky the results also.

4) No one will wind up with the same artist. One to a customer.

I will reveal all the artist choices Sun April 30, 9pm ET. So that's the deadline to get your artist choices in. If anyone wants to join in after 4/30, 9pm, they can do so, and take any artist not already selected.

You will have FIVE weeks to put together your list of 20-31 songs for your artist. The countdown will start on Tuesday, June 6th, 9pm ET
Please include a spotify or youtube link with you final song lists for each song.


Here are the results of the initial artist allocation. Anyone that would like to participate still can. You can't pick any of the artists listed below. Please post your artist asap, and then get me your ranking of 20-31 songs by June 6th.

[Zegras11]

As of right now, there are no ties among the first 13 artist preference lists sent in. Would not surprise me if we didn't have a tie at all.

 

[krista4]

 

[Mister CIA]

I had to read Item 3 several times before it clicked what you meant because it didn't cross my mind that someone else would pick the same artist as me. Inconceivable.

I'm gonna mull this one over. Not sure if I want to pick my favorite, or wander off the beaten path.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

5 weeks?
So i could run my draft now?

PM sent to see where Ive messed up lol, but yes.
I like the idea. Cant recall anyone else doing it. Relatively simple, so not that much prep required

 

[Eephus]

You can add @ditkaburgers and I as in.

Mrs. Eephus will be a game-time decision.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I'm in. I've let DrIanMalcolm know about this as well.

 

[Zegras11]

I already have a 30-song list from someone obviously very confident


They also listed six other choices for artist, which is the most of the 15 in so far.

Could you please let @DrIanMalcolm know we are STILL awaiting his charity for the contest win in the last countdown?

 

[Eephus]

Are you going to announce the artists list in early May or wait for the big reveal on one point day?

 

[Zegras11]

I will reveal all the artist choices Sun April 30, 9pm ET.

[New Binky the Doormat]

[Eephus]

I'd be triggered if YOU was in all-caps

 

[krista4]

Young Smarties!!! Choose UNLIMITED artists. List your favorite 0 to a squillion poems by them. Can you unhand it? *Artist selection deadline Mon 10/31, 9am​

 

[krista4]

Does that help?

 

[Zegras11]

well this title is already intimidating ...huh?

Binky = can't handle it.

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

Wait, what? I didn't realize. I won? Oh cool. I'll get in touch.

 

[Mt. Man]

In! Still deciding if I'll list a few top candidates, or just wait for "leftovers". We'll see how I feel after I get done with another "obligation" or two.

 

[Ilov80s]

Relax, he can only snipe one.

(Though if anyone can find a way to snipe more than one, it’s him.)

THAT'S what I'm saying. There's some loophole here I can't see yet, but I bet he can.

 

[Zegras11]

Get a hold of yourself you dummies!

 

[Scoresman]

Does this need to be fairly mainstream, or how obscure can/should we get with the artists?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Does this need to be fairly mainstream, or how obscure can/should we get with the artists?

Anyone but El DeBarge.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

There's no parameters.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Oh, and despite changing my avatar - I did not choose Bowie here. Went with two "mid-level" artists.

Dammit, maybe someone else covered Who's Johnny.

Did someone mention a draft?

 

[Uruk-Hai]

#@$%!

 

[Yo Mama]

Was having a really hard time deciding between my top 2 artists. With the 5 weeks to rank, I might consider sending in rankings for both (if they don’t get taken by someone else).

Hadn't thought of that. Maybe if I have time, that would be fun.

 

[jwb]

I'll do it - PM sent.

 

[Mister CIA]

I'm still struggling to understand something. Shouldn't we stake our claim on an artist BEFORE we submit rankings of our top 20-31? I'd hate to spend hours and hours ranking my top 31 Boxcar Willie songs AND THEN discover that I've been sniped. Am I misunderstanding the process?

 

[krista4]

Am I misunderstanding the process?

Yes.

 

[Zegras11]

Krista, I feel your pain.

 

[Charlie Steiner]

I'm a middle aged dummy. PM sent.

First send your artist - if you think some one else may list them also chose an alternative or two.
You don’t have to rank songs until you know that will be your band.
