Start it when you like.

I have a bit of a problem, even excusing my own, there's too much I really like that's been mentioned. Just choosing three would be hard, but I guess that's the challenge.

So aside from the Nick Drake (since I won't vote for my own choice), loved:

CSI: L'ora delle tentazioni
The Shoes: Time is What I Need
Foals: Heavy Water
Ratso: I Want Everything (ft. Yasmine Hamdan)
Parliament: Mothership Connection
Anna & Elizabeth: Little Black Train
The Illinois Speed Press: Beauty
Lambchop: Up With People

Favouring that which is newer to me, so maybe so far: Lambchop (very much what I've been into of late), the Anna & Elizabeth is awesome, and my third is undecided -- maybe CSI: L'ora delle tentazioni, but the Ratso is kind of what I've been into of late.

Will see if there are other choices, and maybe my choices will shift.

EDIT: I do hope you do another one soon, this is an enjoyable exercise for me. I love topics where we listen to each other choices and hear new to us music (something I've often tried for but rarely accomplished it well with my own topics). I do rather wish I'd been a little more "out there" with my choice as so may already know Nick Drake, I've mentioned it so many times, and it feels like a safe choice. I don't treat such things as contests.

By having people vote for three songs (multiple votes allowed), they will at least vote for two songs that aren't their own.

I'd be more comfortable not voting for my nomination and planned not to vote for it. That would be rather to much liking voting for myself for my comfort. It's enough for me that I mentioned it and it was included -- that's a kind of vote in and of itself. That said, non like-minded individuals might find it demotivating.

15 may be a bit ambitious, not really for me. I wouldn't promise to listen to every track fully from start to finish. If something seems obviously anathema to my ears, I'll listen to enough bits of it at least to feel like I "get" the song. I'm already checking out other people's music, getting a feel for it, and so come voting day, I won't have to spend so long revisiting the music.

Lambchop - Up With People. One of my top ten songs of all time

One question, do we vote for our own nomination in our top 3 ?

Interesting thread and tracks.......
