11 individual noms have been made for R10 so far, so I think there's room for a few more, before we start a fresh list.
1 week left for anybody who'd like to get their R10 theme noms in, before I open R11 next Sunday, thanks.
197. Too much. Song title must contain the word "too". - SussexWelsh
Question for Mr. Franklin re: theme no. 195............Can I nominate a duo where one member is from Japan & the other member is not?I'm finding your theme a bit tricky, I don't listen to/have much music of Japanese origin.

Hellooooooo, Timmmmmm............did you see my question (above)? Obviously not, unless you're ignoring me 😀
Helen The Melon wrote: "Hellooooooo, Timmmmmm............did you see my question (above)? Obviously not, unless you're ignoring me 😀"Who said that?! 😂 soz, Helen, I missed your question. Yes that's fine, as obliquely stated in the theme, so long as the main guy is Japanese. In a duo, that would be lead singer or lead instrumentalist. If all he does is tap on a stick in the background, then no, no, no! 😉
Thanks for the reply, eventually! 😋

208. 'Sing a song song' - Songs that feature the word 'song' in the title - theDuke
Before the Cream of 2018 begins, can we agree on the number of rounds? I have an easy 12 albums to choose from without even trying. So, should the agreed number be 10, I'd like advance warning so I can be strategic in my choices. 'Cos I know how much you all love country, pop, etc. :)
10 easy fr me. But remembering back to last year, people got fed up with so many. How about 8 as a nice middle number? (A middle 8 if you will).
If there are enough contributers to do 10 rounds then fine....although i must admit my list is little thin presently. I had loosely set it at 7 rounds for time being, the 7th to include reissues, but can increase it if desired.It should be noted, that if we do 10 rounds, that'll take us into February..which i recall some folks had thought that was too long...but we'll see others say. I'm fairly sure Tech won't make it to xmas though!
10 is fine, perhaps 8 for 2018 with 2 rounds of new finds/re releases ?

20 rounds...that's almost half a year of cream of rounds! It'll be the summertime by the time that lot is done with! lol!
methinks the 'cream' by then would be as a foul and fetid green yoghurt emitting toxic spores and poisonous gas...............................but might have improved by week 2! boom!

You said that of Co2017 in February Tech! :)
Bumping this up, cos we're looking a tad thin for nominations, with just three currently left after the Cream Rounds have finished So, If you've got a minute or two, then by all means add your new ones to the list, pretty please! :)Here's what we've got so far for 2019 -
Themes recommencing in 2019:
206. MFSB - Mother, father, sister and/or brother in song titles. - KJS
207. There Goes The Neighbourhood! - an act from your home town (Straightforward in you live in a city or large town.

208. 'Sing a song song' - Songs that feature the word 'song' in the title - theDuke
i've wanted to use/steal this title for ages,' A Diamond In The Mouth Of A Corpse' - a song that you adore from a band/singer/act that you despise.
from the dodgy theory that everybody's got at least one good song, one that you're practically angry over the fact that they recorded because it threatens to soften your distaste for them! do not misinterpret as 'guilty pleasure'!
206. MFSB - Mother, father, sister and/or brother in song titles. - KJS
207. There Goes The Neighbourhood! - an act from your home town (Straightforward in you live in a city or large town.

208. 'Sing a song song' - Songs that feature the word 'song' in the title - theDuke
209. 'Diamond In The Mouth Of A Corps' - a song that you adore from a band/singer/act that you despise - tech
That’s going to be almost impossible, Tech! It’s very unlikely anyone would own anything by someone they despise, so that would mean trawling through loads of stuff online by people they can’t stand, on the offchance there might be something tolerable!
