[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 125 Voting/WEEK 126 Nominating

There's a lot of crap that needs to be taken care of, mostly from the last thread:

1). Just a reminder that there's a qualification vote on "Tallon Overworld" from Metroid Prime that'll close on Friday. Go weigh in.

2). I also made a thread specifically for waiting period discussion. This is not about Rotorblade's nomination, but specifically to finally define what the waiting period is.

3). Rotorblade's nomination. I'm hesitant to do anything about it while we haven't even figured out the waiting period business, but who knows how long that will take to resolve. Also, part of the discussion was whether or not any waiting period at all should apply to it, based on its circumstances. What do you think: poll to determine whether or not it's good to go now, regardless of whatever we decide for a waiting period? I think I'm just going to do it unless no one wants to see one, because there was some pretty good discussion on the subject.

4). Dhsu's nominations (orion is correct: the delay was just for further discussion). His first one is from Sonic CD, and the alternate is from Sonic Advance. No one besides Dhsu actually said they were in favor of the Sonic CD track, instead going with some no's and indifferent's. Does anyone actually approve of that one? No one weighed in on Sonic Advance besides myself, and I'm okay with it.

He also had this big list of potentially questionable nominations:

WarCraft II

To which I would vote no, yes, no (pretty close), yes (pretty close), yes, no, no, no, no, and yes (never played it nor heard the music, but I can easily see this going the other way).

5). Elorin asked about the eligibility of Rockman EXE 5DS & 6 Complete Music Encyclopedia, which contains tracks from Mega Man Battle Network 5 and 6 for the Nintendo DS. I'm perfectly fine with this.

6). Kaleb nominated something from Sonic and the Secret Rings. I'm also okay this this.

7). Nomination from Dragon God:

• Artist(s): Ayumi Yasui, Hiroshi Iimuro
• Composer(s): Takayuki Aihara
• Album/Game Title: Street Fighter EX -Arrange Sound Trax-
• Track Title: Amusementive Crime
• Disc Number: 1 (of 1)
• Track Number: 6
• Catalog Number: PCCB-00251
• Year: 1997
• Source(s): PCCB-00251: Street Fighter EX -Arrange Sound Trax- - VGMdb

How ya doing, buddy?

4). Just wanted to post totals on THE LIST to date:

Grandia II: 8N
Grandia Xtreme: 5Y/2N/1A
Panzer Dragoon: 3Y/1 depending on the track/3N/1A
Panzer Dragoon Zwei: 6Y/1N/1A
Parodius series: 8Y
Radiant Silvergun: 3Y/1 depending on the track/4N
Shenmue: 1Y/7N
Shenmue II: 2Y/6N
Shining Force: 4Y/1 maybe/1N/2A
WarCraft II: 5Y/3N

There isn't really a consensus on Radiant Silvergun (although how can you Y voters actually be serious ), and Shining Force is actually seeming possible at this point.

5/6). Just gonna say on these for the time being.

8). Herrkotowski posted an interesting question at STC that I'm going to paste here so everyone can see it:

Would something like this be a valid and legal nomination?

I'm still looking up information on this CD, but so far it seems like everything he said is correct: it's a concept album inspired by a manga that was never turned into an anime or movie or anything like that.

I'm honestly not sure what to think at this point. The idea sounds kind of iffy, but the album isn't actually cued to anything (unless you're supposed hit play at certain key moments and read along at the same tempo as the music), and it's not like it's based on the score of the anime or anything, because that doesn't exist. Thoughts?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Voting is closed and nominations are restricted!
