May SOTM (Contenders)
Sterix:
I just want to say you're all a bunch of bastards!
Sorry, had to be said but I mean it in the nicest way possible. :D
You seriously made my job this month TOO HARD. I just couldn't narrow this down to five or six entries. I really couldn't. The level this month - you just kicked ass.
So I'm going to make this month a little different. I'm going to put up a number of entries and let YOU do the hard work! (mwah-ah-ah-ah!).
Please note: this is MAY only. I'm doing April separately.
Even now, there are probably (definitely!) some entries I've I should have included. My apologies to those.
Firstly, lets get with the runners and riders for May (voting info to follow). To your marks ladies and gentlemen.

WHERE DO WE GO

Once again, apologies to anyone I missed out that deserved to be up there. I would be interested to hear if you think a particular song I've missed off should have been there (and why).
So anyway, now on to the voting.
PM me (@Sterix) scoring each of the above from 1 (were you on drugs when you included this song, Martin?) to 10 (I really can't live without this song in my life). You don't vote for your own song(s) but you must score ALL the other ones. It's not a top ten, it's scoring EACH SONG out of ten.
That's it. All you have to do.
In the event of a tie a tie it shall remain. I was going to throw in the "I get the deciding vote" malarky but I think if people think two or more songs are equally as good then who am I to argue the toss?
Once you've PMd me the votes, no changes to your scores will be allowed (barring EXTREME circumstances!). So double check your scores before you PM me!
I'm also going to forgo the usual "you have to vote to remain in the competition" ideal - merely because of the scope this time. Why make my job any harder than it has been? At least ONE participant from each entry must vote to remain in the competition.
Voting will be open until midnight Friday 28th June (UK time) and I'll post the results some time on the Saturday. Gives you plenty of time to vote.
Just remains for me to wish good luck to everyone and get voting.
{edit} Shadowfax's song has been removed for consideration due to lack of time to evaluate other entries.
Skub:
Yo Sterix,thanks for the nomination.
I have voted after lots of listening. I'm hopeful to get a chance to listen again to the April songs,but life gets in the way,these days.
A mammoth task for hosting and listening.
Appreciate the work Sterix. 8)
crystalsuzy:
Great job Sterix, and a hard one indeed. :) But I have a question in regards to forgoing the "you have to vote to remain in the competition" rule ???
Seems to me it would be to your advantage not to vote if you're one of the candidates, because you have to vote for songs other than your own ???
Maybe I'm way off, but I just thought I'd bring it up :) :)
cowparsleyman:
@Sterix - Many thanks for the nomination, it's my first since I've been on the forum, I'm really grateful.
Thanks for doing 2 months.
MichaelA:
Hi @Sterix, yeah cheers for the nomination.
I'm with Suzy above on the asking all nominees to vote thing. It's fairer that way, as a non voter could win by just a couple of votes - the deciding factor being simply that they didn't vote.
But it's up to you, as all the power is yours as our Great & Mighty Host of The Month! ;D
Thanks again anyway.
