Well, they were terrible, I'mma going to suggest this one, even if it a bit tedious tenuous:

I'm not sure disqualifying someone on their political beliefs is the correct thing to do, especially when Gary Glitter songs are allowed on here. And rightly so.

And where exactly are there any GG songs in the Nu-HotW?

That, my good sir, is the Glitter Band.

GG was not in that group.

From what I can see at Discogs, one song on that album was co-written by him, which is (on reflection, now that I've noticed) still a bit unsavoury.

I say yes to Harper and Thug, BTW.

And Haggis.

Is today the day the fun begins?

If no-one else has done anything by noon-1pm I'll set up the first 16 round one matches, do the second one 2 morrow, Brutal one on one elimination randomised FIGHTS!

I think we can do it in time.

Wonder how many of these songs are covers of each other? Oh well.

I removed When the Tigers Broke Free as it's not a New Year song. I suspect that won't be the only, but too late now? Can't see any duplicates, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I have now launched all the threads.

One or two videos are missing because the people who nominated the songs didn't post the videos that go with them. I shall add them once I've found them on YouTube.

First Round voting closes at midnight, at the end of the 27th December.

I think I've now added all the missing videos.

32 threads launched in one morning.

That's a lot of work, did you put them through the randomizier?

I posted them in the order in which they were suggested.

I feel that counts as random.

I've now deleted that thread, as it was obsolete. Are you having the same problem on other threads?

I haven't had any problems.

It's working now How long do we have to do this thing?

Do you mean how long to vote or how long to fill in the Captcha?
