The Music Cup 2011

It's something I recall from an old forum I used to go on and thought it would be good to do here.

Basically it's as follows.

I require 10 people to take part, ideally people that are regular posters (so min post count of 50 please)
Each week I provide a catergory, for example songs from the 90's
Each person then pm's me the song that they wish to choose for that subject within 48 hours (send me your top 3 choices in the event of others picking the same choices, it will be done on a first come first served basis, I will choose last to ensure fairness on my part and also making it harder for me that 9 songs have already gone!)
I then create a poll that goes live on the site for 5 days where people can vote for which of the ten is their favourite (names not mentioned of who picked them so to avoid favouritism). 10 points for the winner, 9 for second and so on.
Each week I'll then post the table and then the next catergory.

Simples!

If you are interested please post below, once we have 10 (of which I'm number 1!) then I'll start.

Ooh this looks like good fun! I'll put my name forward, if I may < notice I didn't put a humping smilie there?

Two questions:
i) Is the poll going to be hosted in the portal?
ii) What if two or more people choose the same song?

that is all.

I am up for that mate. Count me in

i) Don't know, the portal picks things randomly poll wise it seems, need to look into it more.

ii) First come, first served. I would recommend that for people to send me their top three choices so I can use their back ups (I'll edit my original post to mention this)

count me in

Dear God, that means I need a bangin choon round!

im quite broad in my taste, im sure my pm's will surprise you more than Legend's

Oh yeah my bad asdral. Sorry m8

No worries I would hate it to be the other way round although my daughter will tell you I look 79

Or even if you thought I was 673 years old...

Quite looking forward to this mate btw, should be good.

Hopefully get some cracking ultimate cheese tunes!

You in KB or just wish to add a humpy smilie?

hes obsessed with it lol

It is a quality smilie!! Haha

I will sign up if there is still space.

I don't think I've done 50 posts, but I want in!

Ok I'll bend my own rules for you Electric! (mainly because I want to see what you pick!)

What kind of example is that for an admin?

I though like Morrissey!

Thing is Hobo - they were 38 spectacular posts. Believe me.

You could do with letting Morrissey into your life. Inducing yourself into a satisfying mid-afternoon malaise in this glorious weather.

C'mon folk!

1 space!

That's all left! Get it whilst it's hot!

Apparantely King Beer's humping smilie was in fact acknowledgment of his desire to participate.
More fool me for not recognising this well known alternative to a simple 'yes please!'

1st round will be going up in a minute, everyone has 48 hours to decide upon a song that they wish to represent the topic (and find a youtube link for it!) and pm me their choice.

Wish I had seen this earlier, I am intrigued to see what everyone chooses in the sections though

If there's still space i'll do it.

Once the poll goes up, are we allowed to vote for our own?

Hope we can get plenty of people voting otherwise we'll all just end up with one vote each! ;-)

mine was so bad, that I will most probably not vote for my own anyway!

These are the categories I would like to see:

Classic Rock
80's pop
90's music
Random 1 hit wonder
best cover version
worst record of all time

If it boosts your own vote then yes you can, I'd prefer people not to but I can't stop that.

The poll is now live!
