Wow couldn't catch me making an embarrassing edit like that.

 

[The Speaker]

In honour of my impending entry into the Hall of Legends for competing in 50 rounds in a row, it is only right that we have a round that is close to my heart. I was pretty clear about it coming up too when my inevitable victory was still impending, so here it is. To my knowledge we have never, not even once, had a round dedicated to a single band or artist.

That changes now, as we honour Australia's greatest ever band (fact).

The theme for this round is MIDNIGHT OIL.

The song you nominate must be a song performed by Midnight Oil, the band. No covers of their stuff, nothing by a side or solo project of one of the members.

The following songs are not permitted due to being previous podiums/having been nominated twice or more: Beds Are Burning (4 nominations), Don't Wanna Be the One (1 win), Dreamworld (1 win, 2 nominations), Short Memory (2 nominations), Sleep (2 nominations), The Dead Heart (1 podium, 2 nominations), The Power and the Passion (1 win, 2 nominations) and When the Generals Talk (1 podium). Any other song of theirs is fair game.

Noms due 10 PM AWST (1 AM Tuesday AEDT) as I will be elsewhere earlier in the evening and I'm not getting on BF early the next day just for you eastern staters.

I look forward to the spreadsheet being filled with many more Oils songs for future generations to appreciate.

 

[Ulahoopski]

Beaten to the edit you speedy ****.

 

[The Speaker]

good luck winning a round i host for a third time SSwans2011

 

[Ulahoopski]

That nom of yours was embarrassing enough ninjaboy

 

[NinjaSwan]

In positive news at least no one can call out your World Cup theme for being too restrictive anymore SM

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I have nothing against Midnight Oil, I like them just fine. However, band-themed rounds suck camel dick. Genre rounds are bad enough, this is next level.

Next level round from a next level host.

I have plenty of other traditional round ideas in the tank, but this was too perfect of a moment (for some reasons I have explained and some others I will not) for me to not do it.

Also, we have literally (as far as I can see in the spreadsheet) never had a band-themed round before, so you cannot say what it will be like. Get nomming.

 

[por_please_ya]

Looking forward to joining next round.

Looked at playlist. Evermore, Perfume and Blink would've gotten votes from me.
SM completely robbed!!!

Are non Oil's songs okay if they're a nice listen?
