Tower of Song

Post by cheechako »

I’ve had a rough week, so I thought I would relieve some stress by starting a forum game. Since we have music lovers here with a wide variety of tastes, I thought I would revive one of my favorite games from years past: the Tower of Song.

The rules are pretty simple. Copy and paste the complete list (do not quote it) minus any comments, strike out one entry (or remove it), and add a new artist/song to the BOTTOM of the list so there are only 10 (TEN) entries (plus the one you've crossed out). Any genre is OK, as long as the artist actually has a major label or indie release - someone you could find on iTunes, etc.

You cannot repost an artist/song combo once it has been on the list, although you can repost an artist with a different song or even repost a song done by another artist. You cannot post twice in a row. Remember to remove any prior crossed-out entries.

Feel free to add comments about the songs you (or other people) add or remove. Of course, no personal attacks on anyone’s musical tastes, please!

I will tally the results at some point to see which artists and songs have remained on the list the longest. If there is interest, we can continue the game beyond then. If there is no interest, then I probably won't play either. :)

Example:

Here is an example with only 3 entries (the real list will have 10 entries):
C418 - Key
C418 - Door
C418 - Subwoofer Lullaby
Next poster replies:
Too much Minecraft music, so out with a C418 work and in with something more upbeat:

C418 - Key
C418 - Door
C418 - Subwoofer Lullaby
Baha Men – Who Let the Dogs Out
Next poster replies:
C418 - Door
C418 - Subwoofer Lullaby
Baha Men – Who Let the Dogs Out
ABBA - Fernando
Note: I've put list in quotes just for the example - do NOT quote the list, copy and paste it please. It makes for cleaner posts for a game like this.
Also remember that we need 10 (TEN) entries before we start removing (or crossing out) any. The game starts with my next post.

Please repost the list - yeah, it is a little bit of work, but that is the only way we can maintain the order once we reach 10 entries. (Remember to cross out or delete an entry when we are at 10, and add the new one at the BOTTOM.) This is one place where copying the whole post you're replying to is REQUIRED. So, the list is:

Pink Floyd - Dogs
Blind Guardian - The Wheel of Time

(added one of the best "classic" songs ever, imho - one of those songs where if it is on the radio, I can't get out of the car until it is over.)

(David Bowie is brilliant, but add John Frusciante, Maynard James Keenan and Milla Jovovich into the mix, and you get a hauntingly beautiful song. It always gives me the shivers)

To clarify: major or indie release (or anything inbetween). I think a video game counts as a (semi) major release, although you need an artist and not just "unknown". In fact, I checked out the Black Mages, and they've had studio releases. I check out a lot of what I see in this topic - I think that's the whole point of the game.

Pink Floyd - Dogs
Blind Guardian - The Wheel of Time
The Raconteurs - Consoler of the Lonely
Led Zeppelin - Your Time Is Gonna Come
The Band - The Weight
Cake - Sheep Go to Heaven
The Black Mages - Battle Theme (Final Fantasy VI)
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
David Bowie - Bring Me The Disco King (Lohner Remix)
Robert Fripp/Peter Gabriel - Here Comes the Flood

IMHO, the original Exposure album has the best version of this song - better than the re-mixed Exposure or even the version on Gabriel's Shaking the Tree.

EDIT: I used to be much more into Bowie, but can't say I remember that song. Thanks!

NOTE: We are now at 10 entries! Remember to cross out or remove an entry and add a new one at the bottom of the list.

Also, sorry for getting rid of David Bowie so fast.

Exactly right. Now the next poster (which happens to be me) removes that entry, crosses out another one, and adds to the bottom.

Pink Floyd - Dogs
Blind Guardian - The Wheel of Time
The Raconteurs - Consoler of the Lonely
Led Zeppelin - Your Time Is Gonna Come
The Band - The Weight
Cake - Sheep Go to Heaven
The Black Mages - Battle Theme (Final Fantasy VI)
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Robert Fripp/Peter Gabriel - Here Comes the Flood
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Public Image Limited - Rise

From PIL's album "Album". (Or their cassette "Cassette", or the re-released on compact disc, "Compact Disc".)

Well let's see how this turns out. I'll cross my fingers to avoid deletion :P

Pink Floyd - Dogs
Blind Guardian - The Wheel of Time
The Raconteurs - Consoler of the Lonely
Led Zeppelin - Your Time Is Gonna Come
The Band - The Weight
Cake - Sheep Go to Heaven
The Black Mages - Battle Theme (Final Fantasy VI)
Robert Fripp/Peter Gabriel - Here Comes the Flood
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Public Image Limited - Rise
Greenday - Viva la Gloria

Just one question, do the bands/songs have to be exclusively in english, or can they be in any other language? Just letting that out there.

Oh and I also made sure to check every song before ruling out one ;)

To clarify: While English seems to be the language of the forum, world music is fine. Again, part of the game is to expose people to different music.

No entry - I don't want to hog the game. :) The list is still as posted above.

Fixing the list - blazeboy accidentally dropped Greenday. But I'm going to kill them anyway, and add more 80's alternative.
