Vote for your LEAST favorite songs!
This is a Survivor game. Vote for the song(s) that should be eliminated in this round. You get three votes.
As we progress the best songs are left standing. Each round is 2 days long. The top ten songs from this series will proceed to the next series, where they compete against the next group of songs.
Eventually we'll have an overall top 10, and then we'll eliminate those songs one by one until only The Best Heavy Metal Song survives.
For the full rules, please see this thread.
A special note about this Survivor:
The groups of songs are being taken from this thread. We'll be doing the first ten lists. (Which means my list is the last one before the Finals.)
