I like the concept of this game, but I think it needs a few more players to work well. Where’s Biotop? He started a whole thread in favour of one of those most in danger of being discarded :).

**Dead Cat **, TLDB is a favorite of mine, but the thread about that song was not that it was among the best carols, only that it should never be listed among the worst. Most of the truly awful Christmas songs/carols have never made this game list. Let someone put Last Christmas here and I am sure it would sink like a stone.

Wow, Biotop - 15 minutes, that’s impressive :).

I suspect, like me, you might find it amusing that the only two pieces ‘elected’ so far are not carols.
