@Raka_Putra , just noticed this link seems to go to Snake's "Hail, Paemon" nomination. I see a lot of results for the song you named when I Google it, so I can probably find a link myself, but is there a preferred source you'd like me to use?

MaxGalactica's endorsement is enough that I'd be interested in giving Downward Spiral a shot, if I'm being honest.

Yeah, you should post as many eliminations as you want.

Kyrandia

Okay, the exact thought was "Ky-something? Some game series I know nothing about, The Legend of Ky-something. Not Kycilia, that's a Gundam character. Not Kshatriya either, that's another Gundam reference. *Googles* Ah, yes, Kyrandia that's what I was thinking of."

how are there multiple people on this board that have watched the Littlest Pet Shop tv show

Same network as Friendship is Magic when Hasbro was airing a lot of new shows for their properties. If you checked out Ponies, it was pretty easy to just keep watching the next show about diminutive talking animals.

...Granted, I'm still not entirely sure how MLP took off like it did, but I'm sure it got a fair number of people to check out at least part of an episode of LPS.

Earlier today, I was rethinking of revisiting YGO Abridged. I really enjoyed the first several episodes, but didn't have a chance to watch any of it for a year or so & just never went back to it.

This song has done a fine job of showing me that I missed nothing.

Ah, Littlest Pet Shop. I loved that series and I'm still prone to quoting it on a regular basis because it had a lot of influence on me... I was really happy to see one of its songs get nominated, but I didn't think it had much of a chance at this particular topic.

...Honestly though, I'm not all that into it either? I mean, I love the characters and it's so nice to see them again, but musically, it's... fine? Even with my overwhelming bias in its favor, it's just... fine. I'm a bit sad that I don't like this more than I do.

Tag,

I... really should have tried to find songs more to your liking instead of what I actually did, but this should be fun anyway.

Thank you all once again. That should put us at 222/300, unless I've really messed up the count somewhere.

Ah, Pixel. That was the only song I actually had plans to nominate somewhere. I stumbled upon the song while trying to find something for BOST 6.
.. I'd wanted to find a very crunchy soundtrack, but also a relatively obscure one. Not out of belief that it'd get enough support to go anywhere, but in a "look at this cool thing I found" type way that might have pleasantly surprised someone who was listening to all of the nominations.

I have no idea what search terms led me to Pixel, but that was exactly the type of sound I was looking for! And... none of the rest of the songs on the OST quite worked, making it completely irrelevant for my purposes. I never did nominate anything for that topic. But I saved the song, waiting for someone who might appreciate crunchy music to make a VGM topic so I could finally show this thing to someone! It's honestly not great, but I like it well enough and I'm quite relieved that you didn't hate it.

I dreamed that I nominated this, so let's just go with it and see how my subconscious pick fares.

I'll try my best to get an extra song for you tomorrow. Want to spend a bit more time thinking about it first.

From what I can tell its a Friday Night Funkin modabout Godzillabut this song is about John Madden? And not only that, its an instrumental version!

The mod is based on the NES Godzilla creepypasta. Said creepypasta had an alternate gag ending where the final boss was revealed to be John Madden all along; so the mod added Madden in an update as part of the joke. I kinda split the difference and nominated both a "serious vocal song" and a "non-serious instrumental song" from the mod since I was having trouble choosing between them.

Nobody: This song was nominated way back at my first ranking topic and it was a real treat (which was probably ranked too low back then, but I digress). Even years later, I still kinda love this song and it was a nice treat to run into it again & finally see what the rest of the album was like.

Actually can I change a nomination from earlier?

Sure, you and everyone else can change as much as you want until we hit 300.

BlackDra90n posted...

So we all get an extra five nominations now?

Yep. It's Saturday in parts of the world. 5 AM Eastern turned out to be the exact moment it became midnight Saturday somewhere in the world (a fact that I could have calculated, but didn't until around 4:30 AM Eastern).

BlackDra90n posted...

Is there still the four regular songs and one character theme restriction?

Nah, just standard nominations that you can do whatever you want with. You certainly can add more characters if you want though.

Castaway: I didn't think I liked this type of dubstep sound, but that is an addictive beat here. I could see myself loving this song after a few more listens.

Shine: I dig their voices and the lyrics about embracing your darkness are definitely the type of thing I love, so this was an unexpected treat.

Why You Wanna Break My Heart?: My nostalgia pick. The first four nominations were easy selections: My top three songs of 2023 and then a wildcard option that I just wanted to show off & was determined to nominate the first time it was eligible anywhere because my bizarre love/hate relationship with it might produce some interesting rankings. For the fifth slot, I just asked myself "what song do I have a lot of nostalgia for, but haven't listened to so often that I've become sick of it--and ideally haven't heard it at all in a couple years?" & this track is the one that came to mind. I feel it's a slot that could be a radically different song depending on what day you asked. tazzy got "Winger - Battle Stations" when I asked the same question for his ranking. Today, I think I'd wind up with

Elvis Costello - Alison:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTtopI620ZU

...Not that it matters, just a quick illustration of how this nomination slot could have wound up on basically anything. Aaaanywho, back to the song that actually was nominated. It's a simple song, a bit too basic and repetitive to be something that I'd love if I were just discovering it for the first time these days, but there's a lot of nostalgia attached that makes me kinda love it still. My mother never listened to much music, so I really didn't either growing up... but for reasons I cannot even begin to fathom, we borrowed the Wayne's World soundtrack from the library and spent quite a bit of time to listening to it. It's odd; of all the albums in the universe, why would this have been the one we went with? It's not as though this was a thing we did, I can only name two albums we ever borrowed to listen to in this way (I'll refrain from discussing the second for personal reasons & because I'm spending way too much time talking about my own life here as it is), but... well, we did, and it's given me a lasting attachment to Tia Carerre. Also for a very specific era of Alice Cooper--"Feed My Frankenstein" may not be his biggest hit, but I love it and the entire album it came from because that's *my* Alice... but I suppose that's a story for another topic.

Thank you very much! I considered staying up until five AM my time to post right when it hit Saturday in that timezone, but I was tired & not-so-secretly hoping someone would post some more songs before I woke up.

141/300 nominations.

Blegh. 15 minutes into typing up a response the browser crashed and deleted everything. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow, I need to listen to the other eliminations anyway.

I'm not sure I even know ten remaining songs... actually, I think I know exactly ten, so I guess them by default.

Name Entry was just something that was stuck in my head for a few days. I had low expectations, but I figured 40 seconds of an odd voice sample would likely play better for you than GBA Care Bears music. Also, since Care Quest's title theme is an unlicensed cover of the Care Bears Countdown intro, I can't be 100% certain that the Credits theme isn't directly based on an existing song and didn't feel right nominating it here. I think it's an original song, but there's no way to be sure.

So, yeah, just a song I thought was neat. Also, it was at least on YouTube, unlike some other songs I was considering which helped.

Fair enough. Then I have nothing to really contribute here; I'll try to support whatever the new format is for a while, though I may take little breaks as I don't usually listen to albums... going from listening to less than one album per year to one every week for years has certainly been an experience and I'm incredibly thankful for it, but I think I may be getting a bit burnt out & it'll be healthier if I stop clinging to my perfect attendance and skip some here & there.

I would prefer to make this change now, but we have already determined the next two albums; how do others feel? Should we go through the next cycle and put off the change for half a year? Or should we make the change now?

I won't take it personally if you make the changes immediately and skip Dawn FM as a result. The cycle works better for me personally, but I think everyone else has wanted a change for a while now, so I think the writing's been on the wall for a while; you want to change, the majority of voters seem to want to change, and I used Dawn FM as a popular compromise instead of something I was super passionate about (though I do really enjoy it) so...I understand and accept it being cut to get to the new rules quicker.

Ah. I think I just wound up with the Steam Discussion board for the information I needed; never thought about the Discord, though I suppose that one's on me.

I loved and hated Void Stranger. I rage quit a lot, but I always came back to it and felt it was worth the effort... though I did wind up spoiling way too much, as there's no way to look up an answer to certain things without getting more information than you want. Wouldn't recommend the game to anyone because it's so frustrating, but I did love it. Mostly.

Already a good amount of songs, with quite a bit of variety. I'm feeling good about this. ...I feel less good about using the same adjective twice in a row like that, but still, generally good.

I think "Forward to the Past" might have the quietest screamed vocals I've ever heard. Not a complaint--it's an interesting technique--just... unexpected.

Wow that is obnoxiously not even close to the format you wanted.

It's fine, I'm not really a stickler for formats and I already copied that song over to the spreadsheet. Thank you for being considerate though!
