TF2 Server Music Suggestions

[Boss1000]

We've been implementing monthly music themes for a while now, and it's about time we opened up a formal place for suggestions! Feel free to throw out anything you'd think would work well on the server, whether it's a single song or a theme idea. Both are great, because you never know what kind of theme can come from some wacky songs.

So... hit us up! Gimme some YouTube links. Complain that your favorite song from 2 years ago hasn't had play time. Tell me about how Dark Heartz is the greatest. I'll start:

Spoiler!

...Or an entire Devo theme?!

a few tips on choosing songs

1. pick something upbeat. i know the shins are cool but remember that we are playing a fast paced game and the music should go with that. you want the songs to pump people up

2. most funny songs are bad. there are few exceptions to this rule. in order for a funny song to be used it should be a good song as well as be funny. see #1 above. remember that this song will be played over and over so don't make it be something that we chuckle the first time we hear it and then !stop every time after that

3. remember your audience. we like to use songs that would appeal to a broad audience for the most part. you may be into german industrial death metal but we are trying to make this a server that people want to come back to. everything doesn't have to be top 40 pop music but nothing super extreme/harsh.

this is like 20 songs and i know how much effort it takes to click 2 links, especially when one is on this website

i guess if boss feels like doing that then more power to him, but that seems like too much work. why don't you try making it a little easier such as by posting youtube links and having them organized into some sort of themes?

Need more rock.

You know, we've got a plugin thingy that let you post YouTube videos really easily.

Do you know we've had that song on the server a few times before? It's was one of Type's favorites, I think. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm uploading music and suggesting it for your benefit, not mine.
I sent a list of all the songs to Boss personally and I'm just posting the sendspace link for anyone who might be curious.
