The following are my favorite songs:
Feet in the Clouds (McCartney/Memory )
Vintage Clothes (McCartney/Memory Almost Full)
Back in the U.S.S.R (McCartney/Back in the US version)

Yes, Macca (Paul McCartney) and the Beatles, I guess you could say they are my obsession.

What are your favorite songs?

Here's my favorite songs:

1: Don't Disturb This Groove by The System
2: 1st Of Tha Month by Bone Thugs N Harmony (because the beat remind me of all my favorite things for some reason)
3: Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd
4: The Winner by Coolio (from the Space Jam soundtrack. A very uplifting song)
5: On The Line by Michael Jackson (another uplifting song, one I relate to. Kind of reminds me of the Summer Olympics too.)

I forgot one more. "Check Your Coat" by O'Neal McKnight and Greg Nice. I love how he made a brand new 2008 song and have it sound like a convincing New Wave song from 1984 or 1985.

And I made a mistake on the Pink Floyd song. I meant to say "On The Run".

PROPOSAL :

We have had many such topics, I can recall 4 or 5 of them popping up in less than 2 months. Rather than having the exactly same topic with almost anyone responding in the exactly same way over and over again, I propose the following:

- one topic with "favourite songs" which is pinned/made sticky on top of the page so that new members immediately spot the topic
- every member can make a top20 or, if too narrow, top30
- as the topic remains pinned/sticky and clearly visable, new members won't open an exact copy of the topic but just add their own list to the already existing topic

Now and then we could count the votes and update a sort of "WP All-time Chart".





What do you think of this proposal?

Honestly, we had many topics about favourite songs so far, but each time they re-occur and each time everyone answers more or less the same.
One such topic made sticky so that it always remains on top of the first page, would be a lot easier. Better overview, and new members would just add their own list rather than starting a new topic while not realising the topic's been existing before.

What do you think?

It is quite easy:

- a moderator or site admin creates 1 topic where everyone can post his list
- this topic is made sticky so that it appears and stays on top of the page in the Arts/Wtiting/Music subforum
- in this topic every member posts 1 list of his 20 favourite songs (or we can agree on 30 if 20 is too short)
- once every couple of week we update the chart by counting the votes

It is just meant to be fun rather than an official chart. And most of all: we had "what are your favourite songs" topics before ; having 1 topic which remains sticky is a lot easier as overview to see which members have which musical taste. It is a lot easier than digging for similar topics down the list or always repeating your list when an exactly same topic comes up every 1 or 2 months again.

If you want to see my list, dig for older similar topics as I posted my top20 before. But I would start this topic from scratch one last time, make it sticky and then let new members add their lists. After a while you have everyone's list handy in 1 single topic.
