I'll start looking once I've eaten. Would have started earlier but had no internet (again! Get your crap together Virgin!) for a while.

Thanks John, I think  ;D

At first count I have found 38 eligible songs.  I get with Sterix and produce the finalists shortly!

Welcome to the wonderful world of "you've just been volunteered to do what most of the rest of us avoid like the plague"! :P

Just kidding.

I can help with checking over the list but I can't help you to narrow them down. Those will be your choices and everybody here uses their own criteria when choosing. Some will just go with the songs and genres they like while others will will try to include stuff that is good but may not actually be their cup of tea (I've been both in my times choosing).

My advice is to ignore who the artists are and just concentrate on the songs themselves - and don't choose songs just because someone has been nice to you on the forum. Most here don't want smoke blowing up their arses, just some appreciation of their craft and to learn to get better.

Thanks Sterix, I'll definitely try not to limit it the rock/guitar genre that I like :).  One of the interesting things on here is listening to so many different genres.

OK, so here are the competitors!  I have to say that I feel like a judge on a TV talent show.  How do you pick between33 entrants when they are all so bloody good!

Anyway, with the help of family, I've drilled down to the final 5, they are:

- MonnoDB - Fearless  -

- Cowparsleyman (ft. pkboo3) - Someone made a killing  - 

- Cawproductions - I'll be waiting  - 

- 4Below - If Love is the answer (then what is the question)

- Digger72 - Maelstrom  - 


There really were so many good songs but these beauties are the ones that made the cut! 

PM me with your votes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd and we'll announce the winner in a couple of weeks.

Good luck everyone!

Pete

@PeteS Best to create a new thread for the competition itself. Makes it easier for people as the entries are in the first post and not somewhere halfway down they have to find (if you edit the post you can copy it and then paste it into the new topic to make it easier for you). ;)

Thanks again for hosting.

I almost did but given the title of this thread, I didn’t.  But you’re right and I have now.
