I haven't listened to any of the songs, but I already voted. I only voted for people who I met in person and had a beer with them. That's my criteria.

That was my original line too, although I did eventually dabble elsewhere, though didn't go mad and listen to everything, just stuff which caught my eye.
Was intrigued by what someone could do with a track like Murder, and liked what I heard so that got my vote as well.
My original plan was to stay away from any JD covers...
then I thought that was being a wee bit pedantic...
so I opted for ONE...or more...maybe...or maybe not...
I tried listening but the ones I randomly picked are all really friggin boring and trancy at the beginning. the song shouldn't take 20 minutes to start unless it's dancy
wank :'(

Best of luck to all who entered!
I think it's time I do a mp3 with samples from each of the 68 songs eh?
That would help people like you... 34 mins of Community 2 30 seconds samples..

That'd actually be perfect, you know. I can think of a few of other members who could potentially be appreciative of that as well.
Took me a fookin long time to do, so I really hope it will be worth it.
Community 2 Final Round Sampler
Right click and "save target as" if you want to save the mp3 on your computer.
Note the ones you enjoy and go back on the site to listen to them in full... because honestly, 30 seconds is not really the best way to judge a song.
Thank you so much, Spotnick! I can review my votes a ton easier with that! I too hope more people can find it useful, otherwise I'd have put you out there.

Great idea Nick - even for us on Broadband - I can just leave that playing in the background & see what stands out. Still have 4 votes to cast & 15 songs to choose from

Thanks then
(scary to think our musical tastes could be that similar Steve:\ohwell: )
Don't forget Almanso (my fave.) Glasnost, Labster. You can never go wrong with CBentley. For something 'really different' try the Acustic Division track. Theres loads more good stuff too
After those come back & tell me i have no taste in music 
Nick: should we be doing this - basically detail of who we are voting for? probably unfair influence.
Anyway . . . VOTE FOR ME! 
Obviously we'd love you to all vote for Digital, but if there are other songs you prefer then fair enough. We shan't be pushing our contribution down any throats, it's up to you guys to vote for it if you like it!

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the superanuated simian, the most subtle and PC plugger ever witnessed.
Might I say also....Vote Snss or we start drowning kittens

Its alright - i've already voted for BOTH OF YOU
now, i'm off to listen to 33.22 of C2sampler
I think I could have probably voted for 30 or so tracks that I would happily listen to should they make the final CD... Having said that haven't listened to them for a while... Maybe a refresher (remember those?) is in order before the closing date...

frankly i don´t understand this, Ricardo. i could be wrong but i always play a CD to hear music. and this competition is about music in spite of the people playing it. of course that if 2 songs are equally good in my opinion and one is from someone i respect and love then i´ll vote for him. nothing wrong about that. but voting without listening? i really don´t get it

Nice criteria mate. Why bother indeed? Aren't they all just songs anyway?
Well, I've listened several times to all the songs, and have voted for the ten I would like to see on the album, taking into account whether I like the song in the first place, whether I like the cover that has been submitted, and whether I like the other work of the particular artist. Obviously I can't vote for Digital!
Have tried my best to get through all the songs.But it's all a bit sprawling for me.So many songs,rounds,forums,profiles,podcasts... i just get lost in it all and have very limited time lately

there's a page somewhere with links to all the podcasts, that's the way to go if you have broadband...no fannying around with streams...speaking of which I must listen to today's.
yeah but i just can't hardly find the time to sit through 60 odd songs let alone god knows how many podcast episodes.
I'm not at home all day like you ,Steve
Alan Titchmarsh wrote: yeah but i just can't hardly find the time to sit through 60 odd songs let alone god knows how many podcast episodes.
Same with me. I do want to fill all my vote slots but so far I've heard fewer than 20 songs. Being a contestant myself, I feel a bit ashamed of myself. I wonder if the deadline could be postponed a bit.
Oh it could be postponed, we tought about it to push it to June 10th with the other deadlines.. but I'm sure some other artists would not like that.
Plus, WenOrder jr is scheduled any day now, so it will be complicated after that.
Oh and I forgot to add, we have the same top 10 for 3 straight weeks... so I'm not convinced it would change the results.
If the top 10 changes by Sunday, I might see the point, but otherwise.. not sure.
Well, I didn't mean June 10 - just the weekend. But anyway, as you say, if the Top 10 has not changed for 3 weeks, then maybe it's not worth trying. Besides, I always forget that by staying home and voting I'll be going against the interest of my own band - given that I can't vote for the paperbax myself.
Anyway, it's just as good to spend the weekend knowing the result. It would be either 
or . In both cases, getting shitfaced on a Saturday afternoon when you know the result works better than when you mix your alcohol with a doze of anticipation.

Actually we did extend it to the sunday, so for Europeans it means you have the full week-end to vote... you didn't get the mail?
You can't vote for the paperbax because anyways if all bands would vote for themselves, it would only add one vote.. this rule was to be sure solo artist would have the same chance as bands.
BTW, I did post some other results.. seems to me the top 10 might change after all... there is *ONE* vote between 11 and 10 now.

I knew that someone would complain about my way of picking the songs. 
It is all about the "community", isn't it? I want to see my mates in the CD, so I voted for them.
i have excelled myelf and listened to nearly all the songs.Some great some shite.
Hope yer happy now ,Spotnick.I will book 3 months off for Community 3 so have i time for it all

Yes, but we want it to be a great CD too! - I've voted for a few people I know alright, but ONLY because their songs are that good anyway
Now i have more COMMUNITY POINTS than SHED POINTS.Well done to all those who took part and good luck in the FINAL.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to listen to the live podcast with the top 10 winners. Sorry I couldn't be in the chatroom until tonight. I'm going to miss out on the fun. :(
Spotnick wrote: Did they vote for you the last time around Ricardo?
Some of them did. My cover was shit anyway.
Just for the record, nobody that I voted for finished in the top 10. At least I tried.
