2+2 Speed Walrus
Walruses are great but they take way too long.
If I remember correctly, there was one that took over a year!
Welcome to the 2+2 Speed Walrus.
One song only.
You've got 2 days to enter. I've got 2 days to put them in order. 4 days total.
Song selection? Random Number generator! One # is the first letter of the artist, the 2nd number is the first letter of the song.
The Random Number Generator's 1st pick: "U" for artist, "D" for song.
Articles ("the", "a" etc) are not counted. Example, The Beatles & The Beach Boys are both "B" artists (and so is Bob Dylan).
If this catches on, we can do the complete set.
However, that's not too likely. My ideas tend to be out of step with the rest of the POG crew. But, prove me wrong. Enter today!
One more thing, I'll enter too just to get the ball rolling.
Your entry cannot use my "u" artist or "d" song.
Enter online. Once your "u" artist or "d" song is entered, it's off limits for other entries (only 1 entry can be by U2).
It's about 2PM here (Las Vegas Time) so entries close at 2PM on Friday. I must publish the results by 2PM Sunday.

I am in, because why not.
I'll try to think of an entry, but you didn't exactly start off with an easy combo.
Oh boy, another entry!
Eric has picked Demagogue by Urban Dance Squad.
People are having a hard time putting their picks right here in the posts.
The idea is to get your favourite U2 song in so you block everyone else from picking U2.
So far, we have blocks on The Uniques, Ultravox and Urban Dance Squad. U2 is still available. So is UB40. So is U-Roy. Also The Undertakers. Likewise The Untamed Youth. Any others?
in
not sure I understand that rules.
oh wait. I think I made an invalid entry lmao
I'm sorry, I think this is too hard
der's a rat in the kitchen
My therapist would like to submit
Dalili Ahtar by Umm Kulthum.

Ooops. I know I should have set a time limit on the length of each musical entry.
I'm planning to listen to each entry 5 times. At 1:15 hours this piece of music would take me 6 hours to listen to (and I only have a 2 day turn around time).
Does your therapist have any short tunes (under 5 minutes) from this singer?!?!
BTW, I've hit play and intend to listen at least once.
I thought the "my therapist" lead would be a dead giveaway that it was not intended to be a serious entry.
And no, to my knowledge, this artist does not do short tunes.

Finished all 75 minutes.
Not bad. Probably due to this being new to me. After 6 hours I might have been ready to welcome those men in the white coats who would take me to therapy.
About 6 hours to go.
We have 3 entries (including mine and mine doesn't count).
You could enter with anything U-D and be guaranteed at least the bronze medal.
Speed Walrus closed with 4 entries and mine doesn't count so all entries will podium.
Results by Sunday at 2PM.
