Since I'm just 17th on the list, these are seven songs, in order, that I'd be far more than happy to write about:
1. Home
2. Voices
3. Finally Free
4. The Root of All Evil
5. The Mirror
6. A Nightmare to Remember
7. The Shattered Fortress

This is a kind of "priority list" - if Home is taken, I'd like Voices, if it's taken then Finally Free etc. There are three songs I'd also like to write about - The Glass Prison, In The Name of God and Space-Dye Vest - but I feel I have far too little experience to take them, especially in the last case.

Edit: oh, right, skydivingninja wanted Home as well. Then, I'm fine with the rest. :)

I can do anything but the demo songs and When Dream and Day Unite songs. Preferred songs being Glass Prison, In The Name Of God and Take The Time.

I'd really dig Stream of Consciousness if no-one snaps it up. Which, in all probability, they will! Lovely song though, in my top five.

I was so close to choosing that song (tied as my favourite) but I figured I could do better justice to SDOIT. Hope you can get it

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Why are we only doing the top 40? I have no reasonable explanation. So again, if anyone has a better suggestion for how many we should do, please let me know.
I like top 40. Another idea I had was to do a top 25, and then have a few people write blurbs about lower ranked songs that they love.

I'd also love to do a separate list of the Top 10 most loved and hated songs. Basically have 2 people write 2 very different blurbs about the "controversial" songs with high standard deviations. ie, have KevShmev and Blob both write about Scarred. You can organize that too if you like, or I'll lead it.

Yeah we're thinking of making sure whoever writes about the song rated it at least a 9 if possible. Obviously we may not be able to do that for every single song, but we'll give it a try!

In the other thread I listed UAGM as my 3rd favorite DT song, so I'll take a crack at it if that's OK . . .

Edit: Whoops! Quoted the wrong post. I meant to quote Nick.

TOX, I requested UAGM back on the 3rd . . . still OK?

I'll try and post an example of a "blurb" (even though it doesn't necessarily have to be just that. If you have many insights, it can be a few paragraphs) later today.

I'd love to try and champion The Dark Eternal Night. God knows I've had enough practice in the last month or so!

Alternatively, I'm fond of Sacrificed Sons, and I reckon I could do You Not Me justice. The rest I don't really have any strong opinions about either way, so that'd be an exceptionally dull read.

I'd love to write the positive for Regression and/or The Ministry of Lost Souls.

There are no songs I actually dislike for any reason (or have certain reasons for which I could dislike it, like the song-title-of-which-should-not-be-mentioned :P) on the list, so I think there'd be no point in me writing any negative ones.

List of songs I'd be fine writing about:

Lines in the Sand

Blind Faith
The Mirror
Hell's kitchen
Wait for Sleep
Lifting Shadows Off a Dream
One Last Time

Preferences in bold.  Also, to what extent are we doing this?  Top 30, top 40, top 50?
