Set-up post. There seemed to be enough interest in chat to sustain this, so I'm going to give it a try. There are 32 arias. Since most people are not going to be familiar with all or even most of them, I've included a Youtube link for each...

For the record, there are way too many great songs to only pick 16 so this one's gonna be a little bigger than normal. Most of the songs are from the 60's. Unfortunately, some of the links are to live versions and re-recordings (and other things...

Some discussion in the one-hit wonder thread inspired this. Kind of a different battle, because this time we'll advance the worst song from each bracket to the next round. Post what top 40 hit songs (US or UK charts) you think are the absolute...

The songs aren't going to be all one hit wonders or close to it, but I'm staying away from the really big names for this one. There are too many songs to choose from! 1a) a-ha - Take On Me 1b) Corey Hart - Sunglasses at Night 2a) Talking...

We haven't had one of these in a while, and since we've never had any battles involving any Jacksons I figured why not. Each bracket is one Michael song vs. a Janet song. This might end up with the last two songs being either one or the other, but...

I was giving this a little bit of thought as to why these things died down last time. I figure that it would be better to have set deadlines for round length as before they'd go on a little long. Maybe 2 or 3 days, just to keep things moving. ...

I thought this was a lot of fun before. Let's get it going again. :) I picked something pretty mainstream so more people could participate. For those who need a refresher, I'll pick eight songs, pair them off, and you eliminate one from each...

Here We Go: This battle only runs through the album Desire which was release in 1976 because I didn't have space for everything even from that period, so I left out the most modern stuff people were less likely to be familar with. Sine most of...

One Elvis Aron Presley. 1a. Heartbreak Hotel 1b. Are You Lonesome Tonight? 2a. Blue Suede Shoes 2b. Little Sister 3a. Hound Dog 3b. Always On My Mind

Considering how much there is to choose from, Madonna just had to be a 16 song battle. :smile: I've tried to represent all three decades of music, if not evenly. 1a) Holiday 1b) Lucky Star 2a) Like a Virgin 2b) Material Girl 3a) Open...

Ladies and gentleman………….The Allman Brothers Band…….. 1a) Melissa 1b) Blue Sky 2a) In Memory of Elizabeth Reed 2b) Whipping Post

Same rules as the other games, pick one song from each pairing, and come back to vote on the next round. Time for the most brilliant, weirdest musician alive: Prince! a. When Doves Cry (Purple Rain) b. Purple Rain (Purple) a. Kiss (Parade)...

Same rules as the other games, pick one song from each pairing, and come back to vote on the next round. Let's go with a 90's band, to complement the 80's and 60's bands that have gone before (and the inevitable Floyd or Zeppelin Battle coming up):...

Have at it, boys and girls! To allow for people who post mainly from work, I may not close the first round until Monday morning, depending on how much weekend response there is: a. Jumpin' Jack Flash b. Sympathy For The Devil a. Satisfaction...

I'm going to divide this game into artists and rounds. First artist Queen. Why? Because I love Queen. After we get to the finals, another artist will be chosen by one of you guys. Choose one song as the best for each battle: Each round will be...
