Contrast Podcast Festive 50 - Final Vote - All welcome!
  • tim - thefaceoftodaytim - thefaceoftoday
    Hello Everyone,

    It’s time for the final vote to determine the top fifty songs that will be crowned as this year’s Contrast Podcast Festive Fifty:

    Select your favourite 10 songs from the shortlist of 155 below and rank them from 1 (your favourite) to 10 and send the list to me (at contrast.podcast@gmail.com) You may also (if you are feeling evil) give a negative vote to any single song of your choice! The deadline for doing this is just under one week away – Monday 23rd November. Please ask your friends, family, blog readers and anyone else you know to send me their votes too – everyone can take part.

    Last year quite a few people said that they hadn't heard many of the songs, so this year I've setup a handy player with (almost) all of the tracks on it:

    Tim - it wasn't me!
  • TartTart
    Maybe this is being too picky, but technically, Low Anthem (The) - Champion Angel, is a 2008 release. The 2009 issue is a vinyl re-issue of the 2008 self-release. It was picked up by Nonesuch after the band had already sold out the first batch of the album, (or some variation on that story, but definitely it was a 2008 release.)

    Anyone else wanna send a vote?
  • Lee|KnoxRoadLee|KnoxRoad
    just sent
  • SlowcousticSlowcoustic
    Sent my submission as well! I think in the 10 tracks, I only had 7 artists....oh well.
  • tim - thefaceoftodaytim - thefaceoftoday
    Thanks Lee and Slowcoustic. :)
  • AgnesAgnes
    Sandy - I think I doubled up on 3 artists in my top 10 - if an artist has managed to create two or three songs that are better than anything else out there then I reckon they deserve the votes!
  • tim - thefaceoftodaytim - thefaceoftoday
    Yeah ... nothing wrong with doubling up on artists .. lots of peeps have done that ...
  • mjrcmjrc
    i guess i'm going to have to listen to that bonkers song . . . ;-)
  • SongbyToadSongbyToad
    Just emailed mine in, cheers Tim.
  • tim - thefaceoftodaytim - thefaceoftoday
    Thanks Matthew ... Marcy, you should because at the moment it isn't close to being in the top fifty ...
  • SlowcousticSlowcoustic
    @Agnes, yeah I agree. When you select from a list and you really like an album and there is multiple tracks....I can't resist! I feel Toad and Tart influenced my selections...
  • AgnesAgnes
    Same here Sandy!
  • TartTart
    I'm so glad I've not lost my touch :)



    sent mine in Tim! so nervous too!
  • SongbyToadSongbyToad
