I know. I think that's what stopped me from moving on with the idea. I thought about confining it to one era at a time, for instance "best dance tracks of the mid-90s". Maybe that's a good way to tackle it?

[Admin]

Good Luck Dandy!

And escapologists idea sounds like something that might work, break it up into chunks, and maybe have top 10 thru from each decade to a grand final?

[krescendo]

I think that you got to do what JDL is doing actually, that is, every day if u got time, do a poll on an artist, list their 8 most popular songs ever n then after the poll the song winner is qualified for the grand final so that an artist can have only a song to represent for the final!

Then u may do wat escapologists n Andy suggested!

I'll certainly be splitting them up into chunks - possibly not era related though, not sure yet. I'll get people to choose their favourite 5 or something from each group at a time and then the final group can have each song ranked out of 10 by each poster and the one with the highest average wins! That way I get to do a fun countdown style thing too, yay! ;D

[Admin]

Sounds Great! :respekt:

sorry forgot that one:
Kadoc - The Night Train
