As I stated last week, We want YOUR songs! PLEASE though, don't send more than 2 suggestions at a time.
If you find NEW stuff to suggest, feel free to send, just don't keep sending the same song over and over :) If you wish to suggest music, you must PRIVATE message me directly with the link and the subject line "Suggestion for Music". It would help me a GREAT deal if you would also include the name of the band and the song with your video clip. I am running into removed videos and I have no way to search w/o information included. Also, If you discover I did NOT use your particular clip It's usually because it isn't available, isn't playing properly or has a long commercial in front of it. I will try to search out a good version when this happens.

This upcoming M3 will post on DECEMBER 31st


Next category "Members Choice!". What does this mean? WHAT are you loving RIGHT NOW? Send it on!

Congrats to:

I can't believe I totally spaced out entering this week. lol. I have always loved rock ballads...it's funny how a metal band can sometimes have the best ballads.

PhantomFireDec 17, 2012 1:56 pm
yea, Isn't that the truth? I tried not to go to metal this time and find lesser known stuff.. but still..LOL. There are so many

SilveryDec 17, 2012 2:02 pm
Power ballads rule! \,,/

mrsgunsageDec 17, 2012 3:57 pm
Indeed, Silvery. Power Ballads do rule. :)

Kami Mi Ke NekoDec 20, 2012 6:58 am
Power ballads!! ^.^ :D

To be perfectly honest, I've never been *that much* of a fan of ballads, save for the two that I sent. However, I did completely forget that "Nothing Else Matters" is technically one, and also "Hold On". And those are epic tunes that I tend to sing to in the car.

Sooooo maybe I like them more than I let on. ;)

I love Power Ballads~! A great song comes on the radio and I am singing my fool head off~! LOL

PhantomFireDec 29, 2012 1:07 am
The requests need to be sent directly to me in Private message :) thanks!

ESTRANGED! Yessss! I'm so happy to see that up there! I'm also thrilled to see that Candle in the Wind and Nothing Else Matters were also picked. ^^

But I think that out of all of them, These Dreams is my favorite, followed closely by Estranged.

I forgot to enter this one because I was sick and due to IRL stuff. Same thing for this installment, but I'm gonna go submit right now. XD I sort of wish that there could always be a reminder a day or two before MMM ends. ^^;

Anyway, if I'd had remembered to enter this one, I
d have submitted Def Leppard's "Hysteria", as that's my song with my significant other, and it'll probably be played at our wedding. =D

As usual, great picks you guys! It's always fun to be reminded of awesome songs that exist, and to be introduced to new ones. <3

Sorry my comment wasn't as interesting as it usually is, I picked up a nasty cold from my cousin's girlfriend @_@;

sienna77Dec 29, 2012 3:49 pm
I was thinking the same thing Kami, I've never really been into ballads too much, preferring peppier more upbeat songs that I can jam along too, but apparently I like more of them than I thought!

I love Piano Man, Hold On, These Dreams, Nothing Else Matters and Candle In The Wind. Even though I do love GNR, my second pick was November Rain, I wasn't too fond of Estranged. After listening to a few of the others and seeing some of the suggestions for other music on Youtube, I saw alot of song titles that I like, but never really associated them with the word ballad before! XD

GreenRowanDec 29, 2012 9:40 pm
I just love all sorts of ballads, so it was so hard for me to choose what to submit.

furryfeathersDec 30, 2012 3:17 pm
I like some ballads, but usually prefer something a little quicker
