Tournament Of Short Songs (Suggestions)

[Night Prowler]

As you probably guessed, this game will consits of short songs! There's still a lot of time before its start, but I wanted to start compiling the songs earlier.

Genres: metal and rock. I don't listen to other stuff so I don't have a desire to deal with other genres, sorry

Definition of short songs: I've decided to set the limit at 04:30. Few seconds over the line is OK, and I'd allow some stuff up to 04:59.

Songs: I'd like the game to consist of well-known songs/hits. You can suggest whatever and as many songs as you like, but I'll make the last decision on which songs will be in the game. So it's not a full democracy I haven't decided on the number of songs yet, it'll depend on the number of suggestions. I'm also thinking of not allowing Iron Maiden songs, because let's face it, they will probably annihiliate the competition.

One more thing: here's how you should post the YouTube links:
[ url=YOUTUBELINK]ARTIST - SONG[/url ] (Just without the spaces at the beginning and the end )
Embedding a lot of videos will render the page hard to load.

If you have any suggestions, I'm open to changing the rules! Go!

Queen - Don't Stop Me Now

Honestly, I'd limit it to under 4 minutes, the playing field is far too wide with 5.

 

[Mosh]

Kansas - The Wall

Honestly, I'd limit it to under 4 minutes, the playing field is far too wide with 5.

I think 5 is a good limit. The playing field is really wide anyway at 4 minutes. The prompt is too broad.

 

[Perun]

Napalm Death - You Suffer

 

[RTC]

Kansas - The Wall

I think 5 is a good limit. The playing field is really wide anyway at 4 minutes. The prompt is too broad.

5 is fine for metal songs, but a lot of rock songs tend to be under 5, which give them lots more reach.

Then again, as a counter-point, it gives the rock tracks more of a chance.

Metallica - Fight Fire With Fire
UFO - Doctor Doctor

 

[Ariana]

How many Sabaton songs can I suggest?
Sabaton - To Hell and Back
Alter Bridge - Addicted To Pain
or
Alter Bridge - Ties That Bind
Rammstein - Sonne
Paradise Lost - I See Your Face
Sepultura - Refuse/Resist
Faith No More - Digging the Grave

I'll think of more later.

@Night Prowler: What about songs by Maiden members' side projects?

 

[Night Prowler]

That's OK. Also, there's no song-per-band limit for suggestions, although I won't pick all of them for the game.

 

[Forostar]

Short songs, 5 minutes?? That's not short. Like this, a million songs could be suggested.

 

[Night Prowler]

04:30 is the limit. 04:31-04:59 can be taken into consideration too.

 

[RTC]

Short songs, 5 minutes?? That's not short. Like this, a million songs could be suggested.

Now that I've given it some thought, I agree with it, considering it has been limited to well-known tracks.

Note to self: Add Metallica stuff.

 

[Forostar]

Hmm, I still have the idea that 4 minutes is average (maybe even longer than average) length in metal songs.

 

[Forostar]

Soilwork - The Chainheart Machine
Dimmu Borgir - Spellbound (By the Devil)

 

[mckindog]

When I see "short songs" I think of an uncomplicated burst of one emotion.
And I think three minutes or less, like these:

Iron Maiden Futureal,
Iron Maiden Wrathchild
Judas Priest Hell Bent For Leather,
Judas Priest Breaking the Law
Queen Stone Cold Crazy
Blue Oyster Cult This Aint the Summer of Love
Led Zeppelin Immigrant Song
Led Zeppelin Living Loving Maid
Alice in Chains Them Bones
Foo Fighters Wind Up
Mastodon Blasteroid
Rush Beneath Between and Behind
Think Lizzy Are You Ready
Motorhead Ace of Spades
Black Sabbath Paranoid
Saxon And the Bands Played On
AC/DC Fire Your Guns
UFO Can You Roll Her
Running Wild Final Gates
Halford Saviour

Will provide links later.

@Night Prowler If you don't mind I'd like to be more sure (perhaps you don't know now, but later you do) about how many songs you'll use in the total game. Because, it may influence the number of songs you'll pick from me (and others).

If there's no room for all songs that I suggest, then I'd like to be on time with trimming it down myself, and make a definite pre-selection before you decide what happens with it.

I find all these songs most excellent, but if it's too much I'll make effort to select the very best of the best. You can also give me an indication per band if it differs. Thanks in advance!

I already did some pre-selection: If I have more than 2 songs, I marked my favourite two in bold. This doesn't mean you have to select them (you have the final say), just that these are my favourites that I'd like to see in the game. E.g., take Helloween: I Want Out is not marked as one of my two favourites, but I can imagine that you find it more known. When I mentioned two songs of one artist, I've put my favourite one first.

If I can have more than two songs per band, that would be cool of course. Thanks for your consideration on how to deal with this.

Ahh yes, going to second The Mob Rules to get some Dio Sabbath representation. Although some of the songs are quite obscure, even for well-known bands. Same reason I'm not putting songs like Death On Two Legs down.

As for the Metallica:
Metallica - The Memory Remains
Metallica - Fuel
Rammstein - Du Hast
Queen - The Show Must Go On
