music MLP Music Tournament! (PLEASE VOTE FOR ROUND 1-13!)

[AegisReflector 886]

Everypony likes music, eh? Musicals are vast in the world of Equestria, and so is this Earth we inhabit! Wanna see whose the famous music act around these here forums? Listen up!

 

You can nominate whatever the hell you want as long as it is performed by the artist in question. However, for each artist you nominate you'll need to have six songs. There is a reason for this which I'll explain:

 

Instead of it being the one song representing the artist throughout the tournament, each round will be represented by a different song. That means if Artist A is represented by Song A the first round, the next round Artist A will be represented by a different song. I'm hoping for 64 nominations, so that makes six rounds.

 

This is how to nominate an artist:

 

ARTIST NAME

-Song 1 (Will be used in the first round, which means it will be the song most people are bound to hear)

-Song 2 (Will be used in the second round if the artist passes the first round)

-Song 3 (Third round)

-Song 4 (Fourth round)

-Song 5 (Semifinal round)

-Song 6 (Final round)

 

The order in which you list the songs is the order they will be used. You can change songs and switch them around until the tournament actually begins.

 

Everyone gets 6 artists to nominate, which means we'll need about 11 or more different people to nominate. IF that's a problem, I'll let the people who have already nominated add more.

 

tl;dr version:

-6 artists, 6 songs per artist

 

ALSO, if for some reason I cannot find the original STUDIO/ALBUM version of said song on Youtube, I'll hit you up and ask you for a substitute song to take it's place. Heck, you can PM me your YT vids if you want.

 

There are no wild card matches.

That's ok. There's no set date yet. Until we get AT LEAST 64 bands, you guys are okay to take your time with your decisions.

 

Also, make sure the songs you choose aren't like 24 minutes long.

[Music Chart Fan 819]

This was really hard for me to do, for two reasons: (1) I'm not a very good judge of what music people would like (including myself sometimes!) and (2) I'm not very good at ranking songs or artists in order of "goodness" or whatever you want to call it. Anyway, here are the lists I tried to come up with:

 

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

• The Waiting
• Runnin’ Down A Dream
• Learning To Fly
• Don’t Do Me Like That
• A Woman In Love (It’s Not Me)
• Free Fallin’

John Mellencamp

• R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.
• Cherry Bomb
• I Need A Lover
• Ain’t Even Done With The Night
• Hurts So Good
• Jack And Diane

The Beach Boys

• Good Vibrations
• Wouldn’t It Be Nice
• Help Me, Rhonda
• California Girls
• Fun, Fun, Fun
• Sloop John B

Chicago

• 25 Or 6 To 4
• Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
• Saturday In The Park
• Questions 67 & 68
• Make Me Smile
• Just You ‘N’ Me

Really you nominate the Ace Attorney soundtrack and leave out the cornered theme? Starvision I am disappoint.

 

Also if we can nominate game soundtracks I think I'll had the music from Pokemon Black and White. I already added a bunch of Sonic songs.

Edited September 9, 2012 by N-Harmonia

[AegisReflector 886]

Video game music is fine but try not to add anything under 1:20 at least, loops not included. I was thinking that if this tourney became successful, then we could have another one that's strictly for video game music. VGM's tend to be a whole different ballgame.

 

59 bands are now on the roster! We probably just need another member to nominate a full list and then we can set a start date!

 

The Killers wasn't added because I already have The Killers on there. Brandon Flowers is okay though because that's a solo act.

I'm sorry master, I have failed you. Also with the message below, I think it would be fitting to swap out one of shorter songs for that

 

Video game music is fine but try not to add anything under 1:20 at least, loops not included.

 

I'll take note of that, I'm pretty sure some of the PW songs are short.

 

The Killers wasn't added because I already have The Killers on there.

 

Really? I guess my mind was just being weird, in my sleep deprived state.

The Word 'Homophobic' Is Gay

[AegisReflector 886]

I mean, you can if you want to, but if an opposing song is like 3:46 or something, chances are that song is more likely to win simply because of it has more chance to shine, know what I mean?

 

Or if that song is just completely bad.

 

61 bands, now! Need only 3 more!
