Post your top 43

[Edward]

I'm well aware it's been almost 3 years since this edition of Eurovision but I've been entertained recently whilst looking back at previous editions of the contest and posting away on this kind of "top threads". I was surprised not to see one about 2011 so here goes nothing. I think it's interesting to compare tastes and also to look back at previous editions while this year's contest doesn't come along. So go ahead and post your tops as well. I will be creating threads for previous years editions in case they don't exist, if that's okay. Guess it would be fair to say I'm hooked into this concept of posting Without further ado here's my top 43 for the 2011 edition of the ESC:

1- Ukraine
2- Georgia
3- Belarus
4- Estonia
5- Switzerland
6- Latvia
7- Poland
8- Serbia
9- Moldova
10- Sweden
11- Lithuania
12- France

Thank you both for your reply. i was deliberately a bit coy just to Get the vibe as it were of this forum. I just get fustrated when the material I want to sing is never available.

I am fairly certain most karaoke backing tracks are electronic interpolations of the real thing. You can sometimes hear a faint voice, and being the geek I am I have ananlysed the waveforms and running times. Thats why on some tracks one examplle is crash and burn by savage garden the singing is slightly overdubbed from verse to chorus which is common, why not just add another bar to the beat the running times are identical, they either have some kind iof advanced re sampling software, or they get access to the original multitrack.

Simple Acoustic tracks they re record but anything complicated it would make sense to get a copy from the Studio rather than hiring a band to do it.

What counts as an original recording? If someone samples something the resulting out put is not the original its a copy but the sounds are not "real" there made up in the computer.

I did know that its illegal here but the laws are not enforced, I could go down the road here and buy a copy of Windows seven for $10! that includes Office 2010.
