@Matt Hahahah. If the two people using their voices for melody at 1.20m mark isn’t ‘vocal’ I’ll eat my hat. It’s fine, mate. You’re only cheating yourself 🥸

[Matt]

Wow man. I guess I placed more value on our friendship than you. I’ll just get someone to pull this dagger from my back.

In all honesty I forgot about that part. Didn’t listen to it immediately prior to posting. It’s a pretty good song though amiright?

[Matt]

However, I’m pretty sure many vocalists out there would take umbrage at your not recognizing their voice as their instrument. Shame on you. Shame.

[Alex]

The song, and that album, are some of my faves for sure

[mclaincausey]

I actually was thinking about this the other day @Alex and @Matt

If “instrumental” means no vocal, that’s one thing. If it means no lyrics, that’s another. To wit, “Any Colour You Like” either would or would not qualify.

[Matt]

Thank you mediator. I like my games fast and loose.

Suggestions for future rounds:

Buried treasure - anything written more than 300 years ago (could be any number but this makes it more challenging)

Songs for our neighbour downstairs - music to listen to while wearing everyone’s favourite slim straight cut

Feel free to reject any/all!

@SKT I don't even know what tweens are into nowadays... K-Pop?

@mclaincausey said in Iron Heart Forum Music League:

I just realized that we can change the themes of the future rounds to come, or even remove rounds if we want to. I changed the one from dead artists (most of the best ones being dead, I felt it too broad) to “accursed earworms:” songs that get stuck in your head but you hate them.

Anyway all that said: any creative categories you’d like to recommend?

That category is equal parts cruel and hilarious. I already hate/love it

[SKT]

@T4920 You’ll have to wait to find out what mine are into but thankfully it’s not K-pop

[Tago Mago]

@mclaincausey question for the admin (and I’m fully aware there may not be an answer): I’m lazy and don’t want to sift through every category to sort songs by player. Is there an option to compile playlists by individual player across all categories?

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago by chance the subject came up on a podcast I was listening to on my commute this morning. Apparently you can neutralise an earworm by writing out the lyrics on a piece of paper. No idea if it works but might be worth a try if they’re particularly egregious.

[SKT]

@T4920 Dawned on me that what they listen to might be more objectionable than k-pop for some. We’ll see

[mclaincausey]

@Tago-Mago not that I am aware of but that’s a great idea

[GraemeE]

I'm sure there are ways the categories could be improved but at the end of the day this game gives me a chance to talk about music and hear new things so, even though I'm holding up the bottom of the ranking, it's absolutely a win in my book

@Graham has no guilty pleasures

Or too many

[chrisjohnnick]

I joined another open league as well. First round was "Songs you would use to introduce someone to a band or musician"

[Mizmazzle]

@chrisjohnnick that’s a great idea for a category!

[jerkules]

Agreed.

Couple of other potential categories: “Teenage Dream” - songs you that you loved as a teenager that you still love.
Or “Sexual Healing” - songs you use to seduce your partners (just cause I’ll take any help I can in that department)
