Create A Concept Album

[Jorge]

I was told concept is to be reflected in the title unless otherwise specified. Guess we all didn't get told.

Who told you this

[dpupenya]

ITT, we list ten songs that have a similar theme.

Whoever post song #10, will then start the next "concept album".

This really could be anything...Songs about water, songs about night, really whatever. As long as the song fits the theme and the artist is not repeated, all is good. You can make some other rules too, like say a concept about "birds" and "bird" must be in the song title.

I'll get this started, then the next person list my song, then theirs, and so forth.

For the first concept album "colors".

[doone]

dpup's probably right but thought someone else said it, doesn't matter anyway. Carry on folks. Do whatever you want with the concept.

[Jorge]

That does not mean the concept must be in the song title. That means the person who selects the concept can choose to state that as a rule when presenting the concept. Doone just said "Family - no repeats please".

[Jorge]

Isn't this game kind of boring if it's just about song titles?

[Kevin Davis]

1. And Your Bird Can Sing - The Beatles

[knee tunes]

1. And Your Bird Can Sing - The Beatles
2. I like big tits - Joe Walsh

[Higgs]

This thread is very divisive.

With 'family - no repeats', I'm concerned there aren't enough family relationships to carry out a full 10 song album, and of course some goober will no doubt pick "My Father's Son", there-by knocking out 2 family members with a single pick.

It's chaos I tells ya!

[Higgs]

How about we just put "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge on repeat and call it quits?

[doone]

No family in the Jamily.

Are we gonna try to finish this or just move on?

[doone]

mother · mom · father · dad · parent · children · son · daughter · sister · brother · grandmother · grandfather · grandparent · grandson · granddaughter · grandchild · aunt · uncle · niece · nephew · cousin · husband · wife · sister-in-law · brother-in-law · mother-in-law · father-in-law · partner · fiancé · fiancée ·

also Mama, mum, Papa, Pops, Daddee-o, mamacita, siblings, bro, sis, cuz, grandpappy, Nana, etc

whatever gets us to 10

[Jorge]

[bodysnatcher]

we've been playing this game for 171 pages and just now figuring out the rules?

[dpupenya]

We prolly shouldn't be hasty... lets put it off until 250..

[darth_vedder]

Good lord.

So uh, in the OP, mainly just mean don't repeat artist or song. Whoever starts the next concept can insert additional rules for that concept, such as "Family members, no repeats" meaning one "sister", one "dad", one "aunt", one "son", etc..
