    Its Stairway to Heaven.

        Like each of us gets a set number of vetos (5?) which are then voted on and if a majority agrees the song is unworthy, it gets the boot.
        If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

          We are trying to get them in order. But the "best song" is the one you say it is.

          Rolling Stone, sirius, or Mith may have Stairway ranked #1, but I don't. Top 10 yes, but not #1. If it is there when I pick you will know what I think is #1.

              I will say 1000 songs sounds ambitious for this group.

                WAAAAAAY too ambitious. Maybe 100? Since only a handful have expressed interest?

                  We've got 9 or 10 so that's only 100 each. I don't think it'll be a problem. There's no rush......to finish quickly

                    Wow, I wonder if Mith will still want to participate.

                      That is the goal. It is why I suggested the rules the way I did. There will not need to be a lot of waiting around.

                      10 players x 5 picks per day=50 per day. This can be wrapped up in 20 days.

                      If people drop out that just mean those left will get more picks. I was just hoping it wouldn't be Gregg's 1000 classics of all time.

                          For every Rush song vetoed, I will nominate two more!

                            Is everyone available to start?

                              Let's start tomorrow at noon Central Time if that works for everyone.

                              Please confirm you are in and I will post the order for the first round before we defer to the 2 hour rule.
