Tournament Of Short Songs (Suggestions)

@MrKnickerbocker: You posted a lot of stuff I don't listen to (and haven't heard of) and I kept most of it, however, there needs to be more cutting, so I could send you the list to pick the songs you want me to keep (and cut some of them). As in, your favorites. Plus I think you posted the most songs in this thread, so it's fair I give you the chance to influence the list :)

Sounds good! Send me the list. How many are you looking for me to cut?
 
I haven't made any cuts just so I stand on toes, but I've singled out particular favourites of mine, as well as songs that should stay in the game for a good reason.
 
After my first cut, the list had 377 songs. After Foro, Mosh, Knick did their cuts and I did my second cut, 298 songs are left. @RTC, if you're done, send me the file :) I have a lot of cutting to do, for example, if I can't choose between two songs I posted, I left them for later :)
 
Going against my initial (and no doubt better) inclination to simply keep out of it, I can't help but ask: Are there any guiding principles or criteria behind what is being cut and what is being kept? Or is it pretty much up to the ad hoc preferences of the cutters/nominators? Not suggesting one approach is necessarily more valid than the other, I'm just curious. I am looking forward to this game, and I'm also curious to see the songs on the list, but I don't plan to make any suggested cuts as I didn't nominate anything (if I had, my list would have been filled with Clash songs).
 
Unfortunately, it's definitely preference of the cutters. In my case, I tried to restrain myself a bit, so there's only a handful of death/black metal and most of it is quite accessible. I also won't put a song or a band or genres that aren't generally liked here, and I let other people do some cutting too. I really didn't expect to end up with 800 songs. However, I think there'll be stuff for everyone to like :)

For the epics game, there will be limits.
 
What Cornfed said, also what's a short song? Anything that isn't an epic? I mean, 4 - 5 min songs.....There's a gazillion of those....And 4 min is more like medium song length....Shouldn't it be songs under 3 min if you want it to be actually "short" songs???
