Hmmm - there’s only a couple of songs I’d go for there: Highway Star and Jumping Jack Flash.

Devil#20 · June 4

I don't understand this. What's the criteria for a song being in either group 1 or 2? Who chose the 100+ songs to start with? Why not have all 10 groups listed at once like you would in a football world cup? Why wasn't it done via genre? I think I've missed something here.

I made a thread after our last meetup in the events section.

https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/266996/the-fretboard-guitar-songbook-phase-1

I asked people to suggest songs, which they did. I bumped the thread in here in this section. There was plenty of time to have those conversations. I don't really care about genre tbh. Nobody at the jams discusses what genre of song. Just what song they want to play.

I'm doing 2 groups per week to give people time to vote, and because I can't be fucked to tally all 10 group's votes at the same time.

Just trying to do something nice, mate.

There will plenty of time for other songs that might appeal more once we get through this stage so if you can pick the least offensive 5 from each group that would be ace.

The full list is in the OP of the other thread.
