Personally, I've never viewed this a competition...more like a cooperative, ongoing effort.

Were it truly competitive, there would be winners, losers and the game would have ended years ago.

Right?

Doesn't mean you can't take a competitive approach to it, but you may need to tamp down your expectations for the rest of us. 

 

As for that last link Tom, I'm guessing that maybe "a key" could be seen as "indispensable" when attempting to open a locked door. 

Or maybe using a link that can open is indispensable?  Either way, we have to take a point away from Rob.

thought we were all just trying to link songs let others know what we like . let them listen and judge for themselves if the music is good or bad or to their taste . have heard a lot of great music on this forum stuff I would never have listened to normally  gone on you tube and  listened to more of it .   so what is the solution only post once a day so not to offend or take up to much space ?

ps does this mean it is the end of this forum ?

ok, I changed my emoticon in the post and returned your point.  Key -- essential would have been closer but I'll give it to you.

Okay, can someone explain to me the premise of this topic, without going through 280 odd pages. I look at the posts and don't see much of a pattern, so was wondering what the song title association is with the tracks posted. I would like to join in, but don't have a clue what to do... cheers in advance.

[McnaughtonPark]

The premise is to link the song just posted with your new song.  Either title-title, title-group, or group-group.

 

The above post, 25 or 6 to 4 was linked by the numbers to Magnificent 7 theme, which was linked to the group name The Magnificent 6, who's song title was within the web which was linked to the title Weaver, Weave Me A Coat.

 

Each post is somehow linked to the post above it.  So, the group name above is Chicago, I might post

 

Boston- More Than A Feeling

 

But you can get more creative if you want to.  Like think of 25 as one quarter and post Led Zeppelin's No quarter, or think in terms of telling time, or stay with Chicago and post the new Cubs song, or Take Me Out To The Ball Game.  Things like that.  The stonger associations are easier to build from, the more clever associations are fun to figure out too.

Summer In The City - Lovin' Spoonful (I love too much this one... and more the movie where I discovered it).

 ( personally think Joe Cockers version of summer in the city  is better but that's just me )

I have this record as a 7" single pretty rare I think

Yes, very nice this version by Cocker... I'm just listening it, and it's really cool! But the song is cool at the basis;)...

 

Raoul And The Kings Of Spain - Tears For Fears

 

And by the way, with a little delay, great piece concerning "The Magnificent Seven"!
