Thanks for all your nominations so far! Please keep them - and the links - coming!

Nominations will close at 11:59pm EDT, Sunday 16 April (and see countdown).


Query
We've had a nomination for The Planets - Holst (Orchestral Suite). Orchestral music is eligible, but works nominated for Jukebox must be 20 minutes or shorter. If there is a movement from this piece that you feel can stand alone, you're welcome to nominate that.

( How to Nominate on AO3 )


Once you have nominated (Part 2)

While I'm approving and cleaning up the nominations, please comment or email with:
-the name of the song
-some online form (YouTube link, etc)
-the genre of the song, if known
-lyrics.

This part is not mandatory, but it makes it a lot easier for me when I'm creating a directory of all songs, all lyrics, all YouTube videos, etc. And that directory makes it easier for participants to find each other's chosen songs.

ETA
I just had an odd moment where I thought I saw a song in the list and then it wasn't there. Phil Collins something? Three possibilities: either I'm imagining things, OR someone edited their nominations before I refreshed a page, OR I accidentally rejected a nomination. If I have accidentally rejected your nomination, please contact me, and I'm sorry. I have not seen anything that should be rejected thus far.

Thanks to those who've submitted links and information as well as nominations. I realise the tag list block text on AO3 is getting unreadable; I'll be putting up an easier-to-read list in a couple of days.

Several things:

Nominations are closing in 48 hours (23:59 Thursday 1 August EDT).

As well as the list in the previous post, I've created a Google spreadsheet here to organise songs and links. You can sort this spreadsheet by artist, instead of song title, by choosing View -> List and clicking on the column heading. (Note that once you've chosen List view, you can also adjust the number of rows that appear on a page by specifying them in the field at top right.)

Please take a look, investigate new music, check to see if I've got the right video/audio links and lyrics for the music you're already familiar with, and so forth. If the links or lyrics weren't provided to me, often I've grabbed them from google, quickly and sloppily - there might be better versions I should include. Let me know. The more complete my list is, the faster I can open signups at the end of the nomination process.

I'd like your feedback about usability, too. Is the current list + the google spreadsheet useful for you? Is there another format that might be better? I'm also thinking of embedding the final table of songs and links in the DW and LJ posts - it'll certainly load faster that way. (I'm not sure how good it'll look in mobile view.) Also, aesthetics aren't my strong point, so if you find either the DW or the LJ comm painful to the eye, please speak up.
