Please PM me, awardinary, with your votes no later than Monday 11th September 2023 at 23:59 (GMT). It goes without saying, but please don’t vote for your own entry and remember to keep your entry secret and don’t reveal its identity to anyone. Those who haven’t submitted an entry to this contest are also welcome to take part in voting for their favourites if they wish to. :)

Please see the attached Spotify playlist, as well as a playlist you can follow along with on YouTube. :music:

I will look to host a listenthrough at some point in the weeks when it is most preferred for people.

Convoy woulda got my 12 points :( But I'm sure these songs are all good too!

Well BIG hype for 'Colt' as that was a #2 hit in my chart :wub:

 

I think that's the only one I know, looking forward to hearing more from HotWax + Lights & Motion based on the material I'm familiar with.

YouTube playlist added!

I see there are 4 10+ minute songs here *_*

 

Think there are only 1 or 2 songs I've heard here already so mostly phresh ears x (I do indeed already know what Leww's song is + probably uhsting's as well as per but we'll see if he remembers to at least attempt to be discreet this time)

 

Oop I see dandy* didn't end up finding another entry after me blocking the first one he was looking at

Also if any Apple Music users would like a playlist please can I ask they make their own and share here. Pity there’s no Jacob in this contest for that purpose!

omg who entered have a nice life? hope that does better than when I entered them in UP, i regret i didn’t enter “bloodhail” instead. other than that I recognize one other artist apart from my own, looking forward to hearing the songs!

Someone just slapped me across the face and called me old with the inclusion of 'Alive With the Glory of Love'

at least it’s not a brand new song

On first listen this is probably the highest quality Nuggets edition I've been involved in. Rather than scraping the barrel for votes I think there'll be some unfortunate culls!

listenthru when?

I can do a listenthrough on Monday if that works for peeps? x

 

edit: actually that'd be clashing with BJSC results so a later day in the week would probably be better (I normally go for Mondays and/or Wednesdays for listenthroughs so maybe Wednesday x)

If you like your guitar music, make sure you enter the '1970s Rock' retro song contest. It's basically a Nuggets spin off set in the 1970s. Confirmations close on Friday.

First vote received for this now, please can others start to think about getting their votes in soon with the deadline next week.

 

Also, would anyone like a listenthrough still for this?

is today still possible? i have plans tn so might not be there the whole time but I’d be down to join for a bit~

Still planning to do the listenthrough for this at 8pm tonight yes :magic:

might be 15-20 min late but shall be there

starting in 15 mins ish :jump:

 

(thanks Wardy for making a YouTube playlist already to save me some effort x)

Dropped my boats in ~ someone has pandered directly to me and they have been heftily rewarded.

I still need to listen to a few from the beginning but it’s a pretty solid selection. Two stood out to me immediately and will likely be on repeat all week — well, one of them will as the other is cruelly unavailable on streaming.

 

Someone sending Silencer was a choice... I could have done without nazi metal tbh
