We will vote on groups two at a time (although you can vote on only one of the groups if you want). Each voting period will last three days (72 hours) Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.

Per group: Give your top three songs 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three songs per group.

GROUP 9
Annie Lennox - No More I Love You's
Björk - All Is Full of Love
Coldplay - Fix You
Depeche Model - Enjoy the Silence
Justin Johnson - Ghost of the Mountain
Mariah Carey - Dreamlover
Marty Robbins - Big Iron
Migajas - Huesos
Migajas - Solitario
Queen - Killer Queen

GROUP 10

Chris Holsten - Slå hjerte, slå
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen the Rain
Derek & the Dominos - Layla
Eiffel 65 - Blue (da ba dee)
Laleh - Some Die Young
Looking Glass - Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)
Ludwig von Beethoven - Mondscheinsonate, 3rd movement
Peter Gabriel - My Body is a Cage
Teho Teardo and Blixa Bargeld - A Quiet Life

Tiebreakers***:
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- Last year's result (Round 2 > Other)
- Last year's Round 2 Rank
- Last year's Round 2 PPV
- Year first nominated (special edition > earlier > later)
- Random chance

Any song eliminated by random chance (and any song eliminated by random chance last year that is eliminated based on last year's result) will be given entry into next year's TMT20.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on July 24, 2026, 11:47:03 PMThis is an ironic conversation, because Zappa's book contains a chapter in which he discusses a theory that beer (as opposed to other forms of alcohol) somehow causes "violent male bonding". In his own idiom: "whiskey might make you want to kill your girlfriend, but beer makes you want to do it with your buddies watching".

I love a good scotch but it's never made me want to kill anything :-)

"Every major industrialized nation has A BEER (you can't be a Real Country unless you have A BEER and an airline—it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need A BEER."



1999 (1989 copyright), The Real Frank Zappa Book, by Frank Zappa with Peter Occhiogrosso, Section: Introduction, Quote Page 9, A Touchstone Book: Simon & Schuster, New York. (Verified on paper in 1999 reprint edition; originally published in 1989 by Poseidon Press, New York) ↩�

Some company decades ago made some beer with Zappa album covers as the labels. I still have the bottle with the Lumpy Gravy album cover on it. Don't recall if the beer was any good. (I'm a huge Zappa fan.)
I was gifted a beer brewing kit by a family member for Christmas one time. It was too complicated for me, so I turned it into a wine making kit. Wine is way easier to make. The wine that I eventually made was actually pretty tasty, but the alcohol content was over the top. After one night of sampling my home made wine, my wife dumped the rest down the toilet, and threatened to leave me if I ever made wine again. I don't remember much about that night. But I imagine I was having a good time.

That's so funny Sir Iason.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 14, 2025, 01:57:49 PMVolume 4 of the Talossan Book of Cuisine is now available!
I will be issuing the call for submissions to Volume 5 later this year. I hope we can get some interesting recipes for this next edition.

As mentioned earlier this year, I am planning to soon open submissions to Volume 5 of the Talossan Book of Cuisine.

@Mximo Malt You submitted an oatmeal recipe some time ago so I wanted to re-confirm your wish to include it.

Also, our friendly visitor @varoneglan enquired on submitting to the Book of Cuisine. You are still welcome to do so!

Yes, please do.
