Carmina Burana is definitely one of the favs I mentioned (alongside other classics (although they're not songs tbh) and rock songs).
For some reason, I never got Yeti (but look out for it now and then). Phallus Dei, Tanz der Leminge and Wolf City got a lot of plays at Uni, less since and very occasional this century. Still love Kanaan, Green Bubble Raincoated Man and This was in the days of Umma Gumma, Jefferson Airplane, Soft Machine/Matching Mole, Van der Graaf Generator, Henry Cow and King Crimson. I've even got a few (little played now) from that era that seem to be worth an embarassing fortune - Warm Dust, T2 and Battered Ornaments amongst others.
YES! YES! YES! Love that piece @TLC And yes, any genre can be included including classical so this would be more than welcome
Course you can name 10. Just go with your gut instinct as to those that mean the most to you.......German songs (and those from any nation) are more than welcome even if they are in your native tongue. Your vote could be the difference between a song getting a minor mention and it winning the whole thing so get involved
Just to clarify that any lists PM'd to me can be amended right up until the deadline (whenever that may be) so no need to worry that you may submit your list and then realise you've missed a song (or multiple songs) off as it can be easily changed
I don't have much fav songs in my native language (maybe it's because I understand the text ). The occasional Rammstein and maybe this little "gem" about "me", which I already mentioned here last month: Songs about Cheryl or Geneve . "Wir freuen uns so....Dirk ist endlich wieder froh" We are so happy .... Dirk is finally happy again Anyway, I'll see what I can do to provide my list. When's the deadline? @TLC: Carl Orff, Richard Wagner? Who's the German here, ey? tbh as much as I love Carl Orff's Carmina Burana as much I can't stand Wagner. Too pompous, even for me! I'm more the Beethoven, Händel, Bach classic guy
I suggest we can only nominate songs when we half an idea what the lyrics are. I know there are some but this just puts me in mind of Huey helicopters and napalm. I'm considering the requirement for "songs," rather than tracks or performances, gives me a basis for thinning the choice down - requiring at least two decent versions to be out there or a bit more emphasis on the lyrics than usual for me. I still can't see this one dropping out yet though.
It will be 2-3 weeks before any deadline comes around. I will figure out an actual date later and post it on here but whatever it is, you'll have plenty of thinking time
Listen I’ve cut it from 24 to 11 but I just can’t pick one to drop. So a top 10 and a wildcard? I think that’s more than fair
I'm too indecisive to pick "top 10s" of anything...would spend all day adding and deleting selections as they came to mind.
