If life is a Cabaret, old chum, are you ready to get all CHUMY?
County Heaven's Ultimate Musical Years
Music has been a huge part of County Heaven for years. The Music Discussion Thread is always active and recently, Music Association Thread clocked up its 10,000th song!
We’ve had CHUMS, where we created an A-Z of our favourite tracks. Well, this will work in a similar way, except it is by years.
Each week will focus on a 5 year span, starting with 1960 – 1964. Each subsequent week will cover the next 5 year 1965-1969, 1970-1974, and so on, until we reach 2020-2024. (Ok, so we won’t have all of 2024, but maybe we can revisit this last one at the end of the year)
The only rule is that the song must have been released during the timeframe.
I’ll go first each week and provide a selection to get us started. It won’t necessarily be all to my tastes, but a guide, and all Heaveners are encouraged to add their own suggestions. You can provide a shortlist of any songs you like as suggestions and then indicate your favourite (and maybe tell a story or two behind some of them).
At the end of the week, I’ll add up the nominations for favourite songs and the song with the most will be declared the winner and added to our playlist. In the case of ties, we’ll run a poll to get to our final song. I won’t be counting my own vote, but if the poll is a tie, then I will cast the deciding vote. (If everyone just votes for their own song, this might evolve into a music sharing and story telling thread!)
As well as sharing our musical tastes and preferences and building a playlist, we want to start debates and hear your stories – why you chose the songs - how much you choose to share is up to you: happy or sad, funny or serious.
Right, see you Monday for 1960-1964. I wonder if we'll have any Stormy Weather...?
