One-off Simpsons characters would be basically the same thing but much less confusing. (Unless you just hate Hank "Scorpion" that much.)

That works too! I was mostly trying to differentiate between somebody like Sideshow Bob or even Krusty's father compared to a one-time role. But yes, your way of phrasing is much better.

hank scorpion lol

don't worry about it, I was really excited for this one and I thought it would be super competitive. I had really high expectations. great nom, disappointing results

Aww thanks. Here's another nomination I thought of yesterday but forgot to post:

• Simpsons one-off guest stars (aka guest stars who only appeared in one episode. So Hank Scorpion wouldn't qualify because Albert Brooks has been in one other episodes. You could change this if you really wanted but I think it makes the Rushmore less competitive because then we all pick Kelsey Grammer lol)

YESTERDAY: no competition! limited discourse! boring!

Well, can't win em all, I suppose Now I must nominate something good as penance...

• Links (you know, the dude from Zelda. Maybe you've heard of him)
• Music videos (could break this down by decade)
• I don't care about sports but maybe NFL Teams or NBA Teams or something?
• Funny games
• Philosophers (>_>)

Maybe one or more of these would be good?

Penny Arcade
Bob and George
Homestuck

Open to suggestions on #4.

Adding Lore Olympus, which I had never heard of until today.

Alternative Root
Badlands
Les Enfants du Paradis

Matches 2 and 3 are probably my favorite fourpacks of Bracket A. I like all the songs. I'm pretty sure I had Obstructor to round 3 in my favorites bracket yet today I'm not taking it out of round 1.

Nominate:

• Super Smash Bros. songs (thinking arrangements made for the series, no original music or music lifted directly from a non-Smash game. All Smash releases would qualify)
• "Intro Anime" (anime that would be good to give to someone who doesn't watch a lot of anime (I don't know I think this might be a good topic (it probably isn't)))

Support:

• Fictional robots (did I support this already? I checked this topic but my last round of supports isn't there. Sorry to give you more work to do)

Aurora's Theme
Zero Gravity Area
Stage 3 - Voile, the Magic Library

Aurora's Theme is lovely.

I'm soooo happy Zero Gravity Area got in. It's one of my all-time favorites.

Voile, the Magic Library has amazing percussion which automatically puts it above many other songs by default. The rest of it is cool too.

Pretty solid day for me - the only song I didn't really care for is Redeem the Future. I liked everything else to some degree.

Love Psalm

not in a music mood today

Declaration! Imperial Floral Assault Group
Somnia Memorias
Tower of Memories

Happy to see Tower of Memories here. It made top 25 in my ranking topic. Really terrific song.

FM04: Twin Moon
Burning, Churning Power Plant
Astral - Prison

I love Naganuma, but I'm not too high on Funky Dealer. Meanwhile Twin Moon is a delightfully chill/immersive song; it's one of my favorite new discoveries of the contest.

Mutants over Broadway!
Moiety Theme
Round

Mutants over Broadway is so much fun. Moiety is great too; I really enjoy a lot of the more ambient picks this year. Round is nice and sprightly indie game music, which I'm not always in the mood for but I definitely am today. Somebody described it as "warm" which I think is a great descriptor.

I have very clear preferences today so I'll be sad if any of them go down.

Aria Math
Declaration! Imperial Floral Assault Group
Duel VS Fortress Leader

I didn't support it, but I love that Declaration! Imperial Floral Assault Group got in. I've always loved this song. It's so classy.

Breaking my normal pattern and doing a theme: animated moms that might not get a lot of attention otherwise.

Nicole Watterson (The Amazing Word of Gumball)
Mallory Archer (Archer)
Chilli Heeler (Bluey)
Yui Ikari (Neon Genesis Evangelion) >_>

superseding my advance votes because it's fun to vote on day 1

New Battle!!!
....Main Theme of Donk! The Samurai Duck
New Bodhum ~ New Bodhum -Aggressive Mix-

edit because i misspelled supersede oops

boom boom boom, let me hear you say waaay-ohhh

My criteria for today was they all had to be known at least on some level for teaching and were very good at it.

Abraham Van Helsing (Dracula)
Ms. Frizzle (The Magic School Bus)
Professor X (X-Men)
Master Roshi (Dragon Ball)

Ms. Frizzle is a great pick, I wouldn't have thought of her.

Open to changing!

It never said they had to be good teachers!

True!

I'm not sure why Snape is getting votes, given that he's a bad teacher.

(First Reaction: Bad, but in an endearing way. It's clear that no one involved in this has any idea what they're doing & their complete lack of musical talent has resulted in something so staggeringly avant-garde that it's almost enjoyable. I feel like trying to analyze the song at all would be missing the point. It's an e-x-p-e-r-i-e-n-c-e. Not a good one, but not entirely a bad one either.)

This description is on point (to me at least).

The Beatles - Michelle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoBLi5eE-wY

Question about the schedule: is Looney Tunes about characters or cartoons? I think the latter is way more interesting to discuss, but I don't know how the nomination was intended.

That Staff Roll link sounds a bit...slower in tempo, I think?

Talking Heads | Once in a Lifetime | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHatn3_UxEU (4:18)

The Shaggs | Philosophy of the World | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thHcvTDGWvg (3:03)

Very well. I will nominate more than two songs. Let me think for a bit.

Just when I thought I was out...!

Hooray, I achieved my goal of nominating a Rushmore topic without an obvious winner. Now at last I can rest.

1. Space Lion
2. Piano Black
3. Cat Blues
4. Rush
5. Digging My Potato
6. Too Good Too Bad
7. Rain
8. Bad Dog No Biscuits
9. Pot City
10. Tank!
11. Spokey Dokey
12. Cosmos
13. Car 24
14. Walt for Zizi
15. Felt Tip Pen
16. The Egg and I
17. Memory

specific thoughts:
space lion - 10/10 song for me, an all-timer
piano black - lovely repetitive crunch
car 24 - sitcom music, a little too cheesy for me
the egg and i, memory - the only ones i don't like

overall thoughts:
I liked this a lot more on my first listen. There are some songs I really like here, particularly Space Lion, and there's a wide enough range of styles that I could see myself gravitating toward different songs on subsequent listens. That sax is pretty great.

Oh hey I nominated this one. Let's see...

A Hard Day's Night
Eleanor Rigby
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Here Comes the Sun

Four distinct Beatles flavors.

Have you all picked new movies every time? Or has there been some overlap?

Neat list. I probably won't participate, but in case I do, do you know if any of the movies have a lot of gore?
