As 'Q' 'X' and 'Z' are limited may I suggest songs that have those letters somewhere in the title.
ie., Suzie Q by CCR would that help to prevent a dead end or road block.
Good request. We can put it out there. But JFK said we put a man on the moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard.
I can see where @sillav nitram is coming from as I am sure you are really, we have all found that the Q X Z are a real pain in the posterior. Now, you could leave it as is, but the logjam will get longer and longer, how about with those three letters you are allowed to include "a word" with that letter in the title, but not the first word?? Or maybe allow MTV or Video in those instances, all i know is it is getting more of a sticking point..🤷♂️
Wouldn’t something like that put the kybosh on a song like Lazy Sunday? A song that has earned the right to be amongst the ‘L’s?
Perhaps it is better to have live covers of a song already cited.
For instance ‘Que Sera Sera’ has come up with Doris Day, but maybe a good version of ‘Que Sera Sera….we’re going to Wem-ber-lee’ sung by some fans (Crystal Palace are banned….as is Glad All Over), or another cover might be acceptable.
The key point surely is can whoever/whatever deliver live? Not keen on the MTV style music video however good they are, not sweaty enough for me.

Fair enough Seth, we will have a go..just to put to bed your first paragraph, what I was alluding to was including a word Starting with a Q Z or X, but not the first word, not just within any word within the song, mind you, appreciate the mix up with whatever the first word might be and it's rightful place on the thread..so, "Carry on Regardless" and let's see where we go..🤷♂️ As an aside..the risk of repeats is gonna increase the longer the thread gets of course, but no real way round that one eh..🤔
A reminder of the protocol of this thread. Essentially it is a bit of fun where people put up music for everybody to enjoy or whatever. It is ever so slightly not totally personally indulgent because of a few conventions. For a start you’re supposed to post songs (not instrumentals) following alphabetical order. The songs should be as far as you can tell genuine live performances, the idea is to see if the artist(s) can deliver, not too clouded by technology and retakes and the like…warts and all is a good thing, not a carefully packaged MTV style music video. Some letters of the alphabet are challenging as discussed, it would be unreasonable to be able to avoid repetition by trawling back, repeats will happen, although posters ought to know if they themselves have posted the song before. I hope we can get more modern stuff from other posters, but maybe modern music suffers a lot from not working well live. Essentially no Milli Vanilli type stuff, and No Glad all Over or anything related to Crystal Palace.
