7Songs - themed
[toc]
Introduction
This is an off-shoot of our 7Songs lists as started on Twitter at @7SongsCup and is now @7RockLists. The intention of this is to generate themed song collections. A season consists of 7 different lists generated at random from songs in my Google Play library.
Punters (that is you people) are to send in up to 7 of your favourite songs that match the theme. (See Disclaimer below before submitting). I will list songs in a linked forum and at the end of the season (7 different themes) we will have our 'Ultimate Themed Collection'.
Disclaimer
@7Songs started as @AltMusicBrownlow, shifted to @7SongsCup and then to @7RockLists to try and make it clear we are a rock site. It was set up as an alternative to @MusicBrownlow where the 'big bands', stars and pop artists are being covered. 7Songs is more focused on rock-based bands, mostly of the heavier and/or alternative variety. That continues here with themed songs. Though I will be stricter on the choice of bands for 7Songs Seasons, try to stick to our niche here too. (I am not deploring other styles, it is just that they have their places and time in the lime-light.) When submitting your lists, think LOUD, not mellow)… and…
*First priority is that they are guitar-based!
*Ask yourself - would they play Soundwave/Download (or similar festivals), appear in mags/websites such as Wall of Sound (Aus), Blunt, Hot Metal, Kerrang, Loudwire, etc? JJJ is no guide anymore (though Faster, Louder might be, if it is still on). Just b/c something is on JJJ does not mean it is 'alternative' enough for here.
*Most bands will be punk, alternative, indie (as in what was called 'Independent Music in 90s & earlier), metal, hard rock, rock, ska, industrial and all of their related genres. The odd upbeat folky band might make it too (not slow country-indie-singer-songwriter-basically pop stuff; we want Celtic-folk-punk stuff).
*Avoid straight pop artists, country, hip hop, rap, dance, electronica, soul, jazz, classical, R&B, indie-pop, ambient, all slow, 'indie' that remains really lo-fi and continually goes, "Dnn, Dnn, Dnn, Dnn." etc.
*Avoid mainstream artists whose main style is not hard rock. Having a 'little rock' in some stuff is not enough. I mean, shit, Beyonce was nominated for a rock grammy! If that shit starts happening here we have lost our niche and are done.
These are all just priorities. There may be exceptions, and of course there WILL be arguments regarding genre and whether or not a band is alternative or heavy enough… I know ;). We can play out the exceptions on the Twitter, (like we did with Beastie Boys and The Prodigy - both accepted BTW ;)). Happy punting and I hope you get into the spirit of creating lists with us :)
7Rock Store
7Rock Lists now has a store thanks to the logo design of @KlausBremner.
Rounds
- Each round is a separate THEME.
- People are to list UP TO 7 of their favourite songs relating to that theme.
- Each mention counts as 1 vote; there is no order for collections (though draws are decided upon by which song reached that score first).
- Rounds typically last around 48 hours. This gives people a chance to 'check out' songs and search. (One of main purposes of doing this is for me, and hopefully others, to explore new music :))
Round Winner
- At end of each round a leader board will be posted showing all songs that received MORE than 1 vote. (1 voters will be in a separate table on forums, but will play no further part).
Season
- Each Season will consist of 7 rounds.
- After 7 rounds, there will be a Season Cup much like normal 7Songs runs.
