Interesting topic idea. I think mine is Incoherent. The studio version never was quite what I was after, but it's loads of fun to play live.

"pain is all there is", which was also my first ever attempt at metal (besides testikill stuff, which is just silly). i'd post a link, but it's one of the few tracks on my album that isn't already free.

OK Everyone, I need some help here.

I'm a big person when it comes to lists. I grew up listening to Casey's Top 40 every weekend. I used to get pissed off when I missed it and would stay up late to catch the replay in the middle of the night. Lists like that are just my thing.

Well, last year I did a Top 50 Songfight Songs of 2003. This year, I want to go that extra mile (call it making up for doing so few reviews this year). I want to include all the out-of-bounds songs from this year into the nomination. That includes all the sidefights, hxaro and other songs that SF'ers have done in 2004. Now I could just pick through every thread and every band's personal website. That would also be a bit time consuming and I wanna put out my list sometime in the first week of January. So I was hoping the community could help.

Think of this as archiving all your other works. Could you please post links to where I can find your non-SF work (sidefights, hxaro, etc) from 2004.

Thanks,
NivE

http://www.thesoberirishman.com does pretty well I suppose. Most of the stuff in the 'studio demo' page is what I consider my personal best. I should update that stuff, though. I'll do it soon.

Great idea! Surely it'll be better than any list Rolling Stone could come up with.

.this has most everything that i was a part of in any way, shape or form. it's probably missing some stuff though.

For the curious who are wondering....

"I sent him a quote and stuff, where is this countdown"?

I've been hampered by some personal issues and some illness but I'm working very hard on the website and I'm trying to get it down by the month's end. Wish me luck.

All the best with your "stuff" Niveous...I can't wait to hear what your thoughts were on the year of SongFight! I thought your interview questions were really good....so I can't wait to read the dirt on everyone's music.

my stuff is on the link in my signature... i don't really know what would be considered my personal favorite...
maybe... 'through the eyes of the lonesome'... but i need to re-do it sometime...

I decided to leave out all the "out of bounds" stuff. I can actually attribute that to you, PJ. You're quite the prolific musician. I found myself with the daunting task of going through all the tunes on your soundclick page and thought to myself, if everyone elses websites are like this, I'm doomed. So I scrapped the "out of bounds" stuff except for "coverfight" which is still an SF sanctioned event. I love hearing Songfighters work that's outside of SF but adding it to the countdown would've been insane. Maybe SF Radio will be nice enough to let me do a show of non-SF work and there I'll showcase my faves intead.

yea i can understand that... if the rest are like me... that is way too much for one person to go through...

Well Geocities sucks and it essentially began butchering my previous work on this website. And since it's already February, I decided to make this quick little page. Everyone will have to wait to see their attractive mugs later. But for now, enjoy the Niveous SF 200 mini-site

I didn't write one good song in 2004? Damn.

Also Front's Romantic Cheapskate is 136 places too low.

Untrue. I enjoyed your "Start Over", "Can't Take Our Love Away" & "That's Not What I Need". There are still lots of SF songs from 2004 that I like that didn't make my top 200. 2004 was that good of a year in my opinion.

thehipcola · Post by **thehipcola** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 2:39 pm

Niveous, this rocks. Great work man. It'll take some time to sort through, but I'm looking forward to going through each track. Just my own opinion, I also would have liked to read your thoughts on the tracks... but it really roxors man. That's a pile of listenage!!!

jimtyrrell · Post by **jimtyrrell** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 2:40 pm

I agree with John M. I mean, about Frontalot's Romantic Cheapskate. I'd have put that higher, too.
But it ain't my list, is it? It's a Hell of a lot of fun to look through, and kudos for putting it together!

john m, your best days are behind you. you've jumped the shark.

it probably happened once you started adding choruses to your songs

God that's a lot of work. Between you and Glenn, there's an intimidating mountain of reviewing going on. Very fun!

I have to say, however, that all your websites have been nearly unreadable on Firefox (both Win and Mac) and Safari. So, I assume you're using an IE-specific html tool that breaks other browsers. Anyone else experiencing this? Am I just paranoid (yes, even if I am it doesn't mean this isn't a slippery conspiracy to freak roy out).

[edit ] there was a floating box that covered much of the top right of the page. It's not there but...I swear...it, uh, really...

I read it just fine in firefox.... on windowz xp...

Wow on that list. I have nothing to suggest about your choices of order, as it's your list.... what a cool idea and a great effort man! Really impressed by that... it's always cool to see some peripheral songfight trivia.

Justincombustion · Post by **Justincombustion** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 3:35 pm

Yeah, 164th!!! Seriously there were tons of great songs this last year. I'm always trying to get some non-songfighter to listen to something from here.
About the only songs I didn't see on there that I would have put there too would be Sven Mullets "I Thought I Loved You" and C Hack's "Rabies."
