SOAPY taught me how to find music online (I know that sounds lame, but I am lame so!), by going into see an individual artists wiki discography and locating which charts each single was listed on. That is how I found my crossover song, some songs were listed in two charts at the same time, viola (thanks Rache!)

Where we stand and a quick update
All players have nominated bar a few
Jluv and Tuariel still to pick and Spears has partially picked. No rush folks, I didnt expect to gets so far this quick
The reserved place looks like it will not be taken so in case no additional categories will be added.
Another point that has been raised, regarding the decade categories, someone has nominated a song which fits the decade but is a recent cover, now I'm willing to accept if it is ok with everyone. Everyone is still free to make changes also. For the genre categories, I would say the opposite is valid, the rendition should fit the category rather even if the original song doesn't, that's if you go with covers or live versions. TBF, this has only affected one player so far and maybe I should have made it more clear in the PMs. Let me know if you have any issues with this

I'm ok with above Kol anyway. Even if we picked what we thought was a song from lets say the 80's we may not have have known it's actually a song by someone else from the '70s originally. Particularly if it was a massive hit the 2nd or 3rd time around and a miss the 1st time.

Just like last time, I didnae think to check dates, correct artists or vids (in my genre research), given the haste to listen before chromey freezes up - but my lack of music knowledge may be the major culprit! Sorry guys!
Just let me know kols and I shall fix my mistake.
ok so I may have located a few of ^ those errors in my list (before chromey froze) ...and sent onto kol, what appear to be original old record recording vids (but don't rightly know) --- if those didn't fully address the issue, just let me know kols.
...and cheers all! Sorry to be so totally musically clueless about, well - most eras and genres !
...I really must exclude myself from musical games in the future, it's not fair to anyone!

The Fog Factor - You Decide
Season 4 starting soon if we get enough players
A few changes from the previous games including
Round by round basis, you will only need to pick one song at a time. This will mean though that you will need to be around for as long as you are in the game to pick more
Players pick the categories. The freestyle category will stay, players pick a category each at the start and they will be randed to decide which order they will be in. Very obscure categories will be vetoed.
Buy a vote. You can earn extra votes by topping weekly voting counts (top your own category to earn more). These votes can then be used during the game to maybe save yourself from face the music or top another week to block a rival. Votes cannot be used in face the music, only judges votes count here
So, please sign up here as a player or judge and hopefully we get enough to run a game
