Some time ago one of the nicest guys on the forum Sergio (sfar) tested out an idea he had for a Song Game, which involved people nominating a song – then at the end of it the songs were listed and people voted on their top three songs.
A few months later, as a Eurovision Song Contest nut, I had the thought of bringing the Eurovision element into it along with the voting system used there. We jointly once did some TT Olympic and TT Football specials and always made a great team so I checked with Sergio that he was OK for me to expand on his original idea, which he was, along with adding an interactive element of an interview with all participants about the songs and the game in general where everyone could put forward ideas and suggestions about the game, it's all really thanks to Sergio that this game started .
I once did a TT Eurovision special and gave the winner a heart-attack when I informed him that the Eurovision tradition is that the winner hosts the following year - instead the winner picks the next category.
Following that on 14th November 2013, the first ever TF Pick The Best Song Game was started.
HOW TO JOIN IN AND PLAY THE GAME
1. Send me a PM with any song that relates to the category above - along with the You Tube link if possible.
2. Make clear which is the song title and which is the artist.
3. When the deadline is over, I'll post all the songs in the thread (without the name of the user who sent it) for everyone to vote.
4.The song that gets the most points wins the game. In the event of a tie the song with the most 12 points will win, if that number is the same then it's the most 10 and so on.
For those who haven’t played before, anyone is welcome to play – here’s a link to all previous games which are housed at the TF Pick The Best Song Game Sub-Forum to see how it works :-
- You can send your song until WEDNESDAY 28th DECEMBER 2016
- I'll publish all songs received on THURSDAY 29th DECEMBER 2016
- You can vote your 10 favourite songs (which will be given 12, 10, 8-1 points respectively – the good old Eurovision format) from the published list

RANKINGS POINTS
The following rankings points are given at the end of each game :
Although the game didn't immediately start at one every week, it was fairly early in the run of games that it became a weekly game, so to make things simple I've counted every game as one week.
Rankings are compiled from the last 52 games - the best 16 scores during the last 52 games count to the players total ranking.
With huge thanks and acknowledgement to Markus for doing a lot of the inputting of and clearing the then backlog

You hit the bull's eye with Belle & Sebastian I never expressed my dislike towards it but you have good insight. I find them nauseating. I think that I am going to submit something from certain genre that I never submitted before rather than from artist with like only 1 song that I like.
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 154 – Surprise Surprise - Nominate!!!!!
I really really like this idea and then it dawns on me it's a trickier exercise than imagined on the surface because I tend to like a lot of stuff and can lend an open ear to many different genres.
The only things that plague me are terrible boy/girl groups, ultra-pretentious songs, excessive cheese, or boring songs that don't go anywhere. I cannot send the latter so hmmm.
R5 would probably be my closest send that fits the description, considering I don't like One Direction. :lol:
Maybe I send something from 90s the decade I don't really gel with the most, or post 2014

Have you read my BSG rant for this one? And I have managed the game on other forum where the song from this band finished behind my submission. Nice guess, I can say it is warm.
