Criteria for voting :

Each of you have one vote consists from 5 points. You may divide this 5 points between any number of songs in any way (only limit is, that you cant give less than 0.1 point to one song (so no 0.05 or 0.22 or so)). This is better than just one vote, because you may have more favorite songs (i have more than 40 by Nightwish ). I will be the judge who will be counting the votes and for each week (or longer period if this topic become somehow inactive) i will release new actual order. You can vote for any song ever appeared on any band´s release - either own work, either cover...Anything the band has done so far.

If anyone has any ideas, comments or suggestions about the rules or the evaluating system, dont be afraid and post them freely in this topic


My points went for :

Ghost Love Score (Once - Track no. 9) - 3
Crimson Tide / Deep Blue Sea (From Wishes To Eternity - Instrumental Track no. 7) - 1
Nightquest (Oceanborn - Bonus Track no. 11) - 0.5
10th Man Down (Over The Hills And Far Away EP - Track no. 2) - 0.5

Nightwish have good songs?
Haha, I'm kidding. Although I do think that their albums after Wishmaster have an increasing lack of 'it' if you know what I mean. The certain 'it' that makes you like a whole album and not just one or two particular songs. I always felt they somehow lost their youthful enthusiasm and became too much of professionals.

So my votes would be

Stargazers (2)
Gethsemane (1)
Sacrament Of Wilderness (1)
Know Why The Nightingales Sings (1)

This just off the top of my head from looking at the CD's. I haven't really listened to Nightwish in the last six or seven years.

It's a cool way of charting you're doing here though.

It's really hard to pick, but my favorites (in no particular order) are "Deep Silent Complete," "Bless the Child," "Slaying the Dreamer," "Walking In the Air," (even though it's not their song) and "Nemo."
