I am planning to run a Best Nightwish Song contest, which shall be called "Nightwish Survivor". The purpose of the contest is to see which Nightwish song is considered the overall favorite by this forum. Also, by the end of this contest, I could also create a ranking of every Nightwish song from overall least favorite to overall most favorite.
Nominations will be used as a starting point to draw up the first round placements for every song.
Nomination Rules
- Post up to 10 of your favorite Nightwish songs. No more than 10, please.
- Nominations shall remain open for exactly one month from the creation of this topic. Which means no more nominations will be accepted after April 17th at 1:00 AM EST (GMT -5).
- There is no specific order in which your top 10 songs need to be posted in. You aren't ranking them by how well you like each one.
Update: The nomination phase of this contest is closed. No more nominations may be posted.
The following songs cannot be nominated:
Symphony of Destruction - While it is played quite often live, Nightwish never recorded their own version of the song to be included on a studio album (not on a live/compilation album or a single). Nightwish would have to record their own version and actually place it on a studio album if it wants to be allowed into my contest. Original Nightwish songs (not a recording of a cover) that weren't put on a studio album are allowed into my contest and this would apply to "While Your Lips Are Still Red" (which can be nominated).
High Hopes - It is only included on the Nightwish compilation album "Highest Hopes" and is not present on any studio albums.
Crimson Tide/Deep Blue Sea - Found on the live album "From Wishes to Eternity" and also not present on any studio albums.
Erämaan Viimeinen - Another version of "Last of the Wilds", just with vocals. It will not be allowed to be nominated.
As for the song "Lappi (Lapland)", you cannot nominate the invididual 4 parts to that song, but the song as a whole can be nominated. Which means no nominating Erämaajärvi, Witchdrums, This Moment is Eternity, or Etiäinen.
The Etiäinen demo song will also not be allowed to be nominated since the final completed version of it happens to be one of the 4 parts to Lappi.
My song nominations will be posted in the next post.
