The Very Beginning

Welcome or welcome back! The tourney will include albums released from 1980-1989 ONLY. I need lists! For those of us coming out of our last tourney, the rules for choosing albums are pretty much the same as last time. If you need a reminder or are new to the group, here are the album list rules.....
* - Did I say they must have come out between 1980 and 1989? Well, that's an important one.
* - Greatest Hits, Best Ofs and Box Sets cannot be included. Leave Bob Marley's "Legend" off your list no matter how much it may hurt.
* - Soundtracks can only be included if every song is from the same artist/band. For example, if Prince's "Purple Rain" and Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" don't appear in our tourney, well, that's just silly. But leave Footloose, Top Gun and Miami Vice-type soundtracks off. Please.
* - Any other genre is fair game. Rock, New Wave, Punk, Pop, Hip Hop, Jazz, Blues, whatever. It just must be from the same artist/group, beginning to end.
* - Live albums are also great, provided the actual concert was recorded DURING the 80's and was released via a record label, no bootlegs!
* - This is optional, you do not HAVE to message me a list, you can simply vote if that's all you wanna do. Personally, I think it's more fun coming up with a list, but I'm a list guy. If you didn't notice.
* - All albums MUST have been released between the years 1980-1989. Yes, that's the third time. Wanna bet someone lists an album from 1990 that "sounds 80s-ish?" You got almost a week, people, do a little research. Sheesh.

I would try to list at least 10 albums and no more than 25 so we have a nice variety. Okay, that's part one of The Very Beginning. Part two would be who is playing. Here's who....
* - Any who played in our first tourney are welcome to stick around for this one. IF YOU DO NOT MESSAGE ME A LIST OR COMMENT ON OUR FB PAGE BY TUESDAY AT NOON I WILL ASSUME YOU ARE WANTING OUT OF THIS ONE AND DROP YOU FROM OUR GROUP! Nothing personal, It's just this is for people who are voting MUCH of the time. Not just once every 5 brackets, please. If this continues to another tourney, I'll ask you back then.
* - There are a few who've reached out to me on FB who want to play so I will be sending invites to some others, but not TOO many.
* - Each of you can bring ONE PERSON into our little game, if you like. Our FB page says that anyone can add members and then I just have to okay them. I am hoping that this is the case. If that doesn't work I'll just need to friend them and then bring them on board and then unfriend them. I think. Hopefully that first way works. If they would like to submit a list as well, great, message it to me from you and just let me know it's your friend's list.

I think that's it for now. I need EVERYTHING...friends and lists and friends lists...by Tuesday at noon. I am shipping off to Boston tomorrow and won't get back until late Monday night, so I may not be checking in here very often. Just leave any questions/problems on our FB page as that will not change like the blogpage has. I'll make sure we get everything worked out on Tuesday, we're in no rush. Just remember....
*Lists messaged to my FB or just comment on the GROUP FB that you wanna play
*Add your friend and I'll approve on Tuesday if not before
*Send them this link for our blog if they want the rules for album list submission and
*Message me their list from you

Okay, best of luck! Let's get ready for another fun one!
