This game was invented on a rainy day when driving back from Cornwall. My parents were talking about themed tapes they used to make when bored. We then made a game of naming as many songs we could on a theme. We made a rule of coming up with 20 songs - a rough estimate of the number of songs you can get on a CD - before moving onto the next album.
Now each week, the aim of this wiki s to make a definitive themed album of 20 songs. Participants add their songs to the album page and get points for doing so. If an album goes over 20, then a poll will be put up so as to determine the favourites.
Future Album ideas can be listed here: Album Contest Suggestions

Rules:
<img:stuff/cd_bull1.gif> Songs that do not fit the album title will not be added
<img:stuff/cd_bull1.gif> All songs must be famous enough for the lyrics to turn up on a Google search
<img:stuff/cd_bull1.gif> Only 5 songs to be submitted by the same artist
<img:stuff/cd_bull1.gif> Covers can't be accepted
<img:stuff/cd_bull1.gif> Judges' decision is final

Scoring:
<img:stuff/cd_bull1.gif> 1 point for naming a song
<img:stuff/cd_bull1.gif> 2 points for each song included on the final album
<img:stuff/cd_bull1.gif> Points gained in each round multiplied by the number of multiples of 10 reached in total (bonus points excluded)
<img:stuff/cd_bull1.gif> 4 bonus points for submitting the most songs
<img:stuff/cd_bull1.gif> 4 bonus points handed out for particularly clever songs (at judges discretion)

2006-10-07 [iippo]: A fantastic idea. May I just add myself to the participants list?

2006-10-07 [Estantia]: tht q goes for me too.

2006-10-07 [abandonedhouse7 7]: Ditto that and that ^.^

2006-10-07 [shotokan_gal]: Ooh interesting ^^

2006-10-08 [BlackDragon]: I would like to join. Added some songs.. Hope its right =P

2006-10-08 [Estantia]: the october one's probably what we're meant to be doing...

2006-10-08 [BlackDragon]: um.. I mixed them up.. ><
Guess you aren't supposed to do such things at 4am ^^;;

2006-10-08 [Estantia]: 4a....ok sleep!

2006-10-08 [BlackDragon]: I know, I went to bed at 5am.. =p

2006-10-08 [iippo]: I thought everyone adds one song per album... o.O

2006-10-08 [BlackDragon]: Hmm...

2006-10-08 [BlackDragon]: Ah well.. take away them if you so wish. Maybe make the rules a bit more clear [ArchangelGabriel]? =/

2006-10-08 [iippo]: Yeah, a lot of confusion going on. o.O

2006-10-08 [ArchangelGabriel]: Sorry, it was just a quick job. Please add your songs to the album and at the end of the month I'll total up the points. Add as many songs as you like. Which rules would you like making clearer? i was kinda in a hurry to get it done :P

2006-10-08 [ArchangelGabriel]: BTW, i'm not happy with the scoring, does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking maybe double points if it reaches 20 and triple for thirty ETC. Any ideas are appreciated..

2006-10-08 [Estantia]: sounds interesting

2006-10-08 [ArchangelGabriel]: Wow, at this rate i'm going to have to make it weekly :P
