Welcome to Helsinki for WorldVision Spinoff 185. The theme is Year Randomizer 7.
This edition will be conducted in three phases: Year suggestions, entry submissions, and the show/voting.


Phase 1: Year Suggestions (April 18 - 24)​

Everyone who wishes to participate will suggest a year by posting it in this thread. Only one participant may pick a particular year. The year can be from 1945 to 2019.

Please note that the following years are taken:

Note: The participant who had 1945 withdrew.​

After the suggestion phase closes, the names of the participants will be matched with the suggested years through the Randomizer.

The deadline is April 24 at 23:59 CEST.

You're kidding, right?

No?

 

[Marcos C]

I have set 1960 as the earliest year for this contest because I perceive the 1940s and the 1950s to be hard years to research, and we are very close to Eurovision Week. This is my attempt to make this contest easier for everyone.

 

[Zeus]

So now my dear friend @Uto can't suggest his birth year? Age discrimination much.

 

[Marcos C]

Fair point.

I have changed the earliest year to 1945, as it was in previous Year Randomizer spinoffs.

Good luck to those who receive the earlier years.

@Marcos C For older years, people can easily go to Wikipedia and search for "XXXX in music" (replacing the Xs with the year in question) and you will get a list of hit singles that year, albums released and so on!
