The National Top 15 Songs - **send your top 15 favorite songs toThe Final Track!**

Braddock · 11-04-2011, 08:42 PM

OK, so after the recent Top 15 songs by The Beatles thread in which Mike and I put forward a youtube playlist of our top tracks as part of a drunken (on my part) challenge to him, which people voted on (and I won ), we decided that this could be done on a wider scale.

Rather than a one on one battle we think it would be more interest to include a larger number of posters, probably around 5. It will not be the same 5 for every band as we will be trying to cover a range of bands to suit the majority of peoples interests.

Mike, Briggins and I have come up with 8 bands to get the ball rolling and we would like you to vote for which band you would like to do a top 15 for out of those suggested. This thread will also be open to suggestions for other bands to be included for when these ones are completed if you feel that none of the above match your tastes, although it will be good to name something that a wide range of posters are familiar with, then the results can be as accurate as possible when it comes to peoples choices.

The three people mentioned in this thread will have first dibs on if they want to participate in the playlist making (although I have only put myself forward for three of the eight and I imagine the other two will put forward a similar number too unless competition for places is dwindling), and then it will be a first come first serve basis (when the individual thread is created, not in this thread - apart from if you specifically suggested a band yourself) for who gets to contribute. You also stand a better chance of being able to participate in the thread if you voted for them in this poll to see what the interest levels are for each band.

You can vote for as many people as you want, but only your first 3 votes will receive a possible preferential treatment when it comes to which bands/artists you will be able to contribute to (so that you can't just vote for everything to spread your bets, so vote wisely), and the bands/artists will be listed in alphabetical order.

We do not want more than six contributors for each band ideally, as then it becomes hard to distinguish between playlists, but for the more well known bands it is possible that allowances will be made. We will decide at the time though.

We shall begin with songs and will move to albums later, unless people disagree with this at any point.

Suggestions for other bands in fellow battles:

Morrissey/Smiths (together or maybe individually)
Massive Attack
Gorillaz
Mew
Snow Patrol
Interpol
Sigur Ros
The Strokes
The Killers
Oasis
Arctic Monkeys
Animal Collective
Vampire Weekend
Atlas Sound/Deerhunter (separate or individual)
Björk
CocoRosie

Braddock · 11-04-2011, 08:44 PM

My side suggestions are Morrissey, Massive Attack and Gorillaz.

howyousawtheworld · 11-04-2011, 08:52 PM

Can we have The Smiths songs with Morrissey?

Quite possibly yes. We'll put it up for discussion when the time comes.

Braddock · 11-04-2011, 09:04 PM

Sorry for the mess up guys. If you can make your votes again It'd be much appreciated.

Violet · 11-04-2011, 09:58 PM

I totally voted before reading the post. OOPS.

To make things clear, my top 3 out of that poll would be Muse, Elbow, and The National.

No problemo!

Violet · 11-04-2011, 10:05 PM

Thanks, Greg!

Braddock · 11-04-2011, 10:06 PM

So at least some people are interested in everything

If we get three people for each artist then they all get the go ahead.
Don't forget you can make other suggestions for the future.

squareonefivesix · 11-04-2011, 10:07 PM

The only one I could do any justice to in that list would be Elbow.

And a Mew battle would be nice to see. That'd be fun

Gitta Rensolo · 11-04-2011, 10:09 PM

guys, I like this

Braddock · 11-04-2011, 10:10 PM

I'll make a list of the other suggestions in the opening post and keep updating.

Feel free to give some of the playlists a listen of the bands you don't think you can contribute to yourself, whether it's so you might find some gems for yourself and spark an interest in a band, or just to spice up the contest so you can vote.

Thanks.
All the credit goes to alcohol, as that was what inspired it.
