I wanted to suggest 4 totally different songs. The heavy sounding guitar of Slipknot, the insane growling and ridiculously long songs from Opeth, the crazy vocals and incredibly fast guitar of In Flames, and the fast paced bursts of Rise Against. I dont intend to do well, but i dont think ill be disgraced. (:

Comment:relatively new, borrowed a mates DP album and guessed the name of this one, my fave from that album (dunno the title)(and no the album didn't have enemy)

I wont be taking part in the betting...

[syo]

Wasn't 'Take This Life' nominated in a previous MC? Well, if it can repeat itself then ok

I was waiting for another MC so much That's because I wanted to nominate some cool songs this time, not crappy ones
Here are my nominations, I had to choose between almost 10 of them, I hope they'll be good enough to go higher than the previous ones!

1. Offspring - Hammerhead
  Album: Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace
  Year: 2008
  Video: LINK
  Length: 4:32

2. Paramore - Crushcrushcrush
  Album: Riot!
  Year: 2007
  Video: LINK
  Length: 3:13

3. Siddharta - My Dice
  Album: Rh-
  Year: 2005
  Video: LINK
  Length: 3:29

4. Scars on Broadway - They Say
  Album: Scars on Broadway
  Year: 2008
  Video: LINK
  Length: 2:54

2 of these songs are superfresh - it's Offspring and Malakian's Scars on Broadway. The second one's album has not been released yet . It will be in 8 days, though.
Once again, yay for MC

[Jordz]

Take this Life was in thommos 'Tha Best Song' contest, which wasnt an official mc. It was you that suggested it, btw. =p

[John Beak]

Fish, there are plenty of cool songs in!
Disturbed's Indestructible album is 2008, not 2007.

My songs:

1. Moonspell - Spring of Rage
Album Night Eternal
Year of publishing 2008
Video Song on YouTube
Lyrics DarkLyrics
How did I find this song? It was on the new Moonspell album.
Why did I choose this song? It has so much energy. Also, it's my top song of last 3 months, and the top song of my #2 band (which is #1 in the last 3 months span). If only they played it live >_<

2. Beseech - Lost
Album Sunless Days
Year of publishing 2005
Video Song on YouTube
Lyrics DarkLyrics
How did I find this song? I heard a preview at Last.fm
Why did I choose this song? :3

3. Within Temptation - Say My Name
Album no album / Angels (single)
Year of publishing 2005
Video Song on YouTube
Lyrics DarkLyrics
How did I find this song? I looked for non-album tracks by Within Temptation
Why did I choose this song? It's awesome! I can't understand why didn't they put it on any album. I can't understand why didn't they play it live, too

4. Sabaton - Cliffs of Gallipoli
Album The Art of War
Year of publishing 2008
Video Song on YouTube
Lyrics DarkLyrics
How did I find this song? Sabaton played it live at Masters of Rock 2008
Why did I choose this song? This band was the greatest discovery of the festival for me, and this is the so far best song I can find.


Interesting enough, three of the bands played at MoR, but as I stated earlier, only one of them played a song I nominate now.
But don't worry; I will probably suggest more Moonspell later. They got plenty of good songs.

I agree with Stipe that Nemo is much more mainstream than The Kinslayer or Planet Hell.
And it is a good song. I started to listen Nightwish after I heard it, and it's my #1 band of all time. So it must mean something
NW never succeeded here before because I never suggested Ghost Love Score. If we have enough MCs, I will one day. And then you see the pwnage.

Also, I cannot seem to understand the bonuses. This topic is tl;dr
Anyway, adding bonuses to the songs in other ways is wrong. The song should be in the contest for itself. And, well, yes, somebody suggested it, but that shouldn't matter. I don't want to see songs getting advantage or disadvantage (or even get kicked off the contest) because somebody nominated it!

Chihara Minori - Yuki, Muon, Madobe Nite
Album: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Character Song Vol.2 Yuki Nagato
Release: 05.07.2006
Duration: 4:30
Genre: Anime Soundtrack
Music: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=huLjpCrYbD4
Lyrics
Source: I found this somehow after I started watching the anime "The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi". This was actually my first anime that I've watched after quitting with it for five or six years.
Reason: This is one of my all-time favourite songs and it will ever be. I like the lyrics though the translation may be a bit wrong and I certainly like Chihara's voice, although she made a mistake at the beginning of the live version (who doesn't), the guitar and especially the violins are great. And listen for the Bass!

Sieges Even - These Empty Places
Album: A Sense Of Change
Release: 1991
Duration: 9:40
Genre: Progressive Metal
Music
Lyrics
Source: I found it while searching youtube for "Sieges Even", after I started loving the band.
Reason: I think this may be one of my most favourite songs there is, it's just great. The lyrics, the music, uncopyable. There is a live-version but this is where the old singer sings and his voice fits the song so wonderfully!

Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Sonata no. 14 (op. 27) in Cis-Moll, First movement (Moonlight Sonata)
Album:
Release: 1801
Duration: 5:40
Genre: Piano Sonata from the Classical Epoche (pre-Romantic)
Video
Lyrics
Source: I do not remember when I heard it for the first time, but I think I was very small. It just stuck.
Reason: Because it's one of the most beautiful musical pieces ever composed. Uncopyable. Beethoven was a genius.

Queen - The Show Must Go On
Album: Innuendo
Release: 14.10.1991
Duration: 4:31
Genre: Rock
Video
Lyrics
Source: Again, no idea when I have heard it for the first time. But it's just one of those epic rock songs.
Reason: Freddy Meruic, rest in peace, is one of the greatest vocalists in my opinion. Together with one of the greatest guitarists, Brian May, they were in the band Queen. The lyrics are interesting, the vocals are wonderful and the gutiar solos are just great although the video has some mistakes.


Again, I suggested only the music I like, no mainstream.
And I've already, accidently, started to collecting tracks for the next Music MC's.

[Jordz]

Mmm, am i allowed to change one of my songs? If so, i want to swap In Flames - Take this Life with Marilyn Manson - This Is The New Shit. I decided i like it more atm. =p
But whatever, if i cant, all cool.

[Stipe]

9 suggesters, already! W00t!

Comment:Got it a while ago from "burnout revenge (PS2)" showed it to stipe and he recommended i suggest it

Nah, you wanted to suggest it anyway. I just reminded you because, if you wouldn't suggest it, I would!

I wont be taking part in the betting...

No prob, it's just a small project, which should entertain people.
More important for me is that you vote!
(BTW, I won't bet either, 'cause I'm not allowed. )

Mmm, am i allowed to change one of my songs? If so, i want to swap In Flames - Take this Life with Marilyn Manson - This Is The New Shit. I decided i like it more atm. =p

You decided that, in one day?
I would let you, but since I made running orders by semifinals and of Finals, and I wouldn't allow it later, I don't want to make you be special. Hope you get me.
And you're right, Take This Life can appear here because Thommo's project wasn't official MC. For example, John Beak and I suggested songs there that appeared on real MC's before!



Well, as you got it now, I have a running order now, for first 20 suggesters. If you want to know the order, ask me anywhere outside the topic!
