Welcome to Obscure Music Game.

Welcome to Obscure Music Game. The object of the game is to avoid being kicked out for listening to music that the other members are familiar with. You get to be champion by becoming the oldest surviving member, then it's your turn to kick other members out. Best player over 30 rounds becomes season champion. The game is the successor to The Music Elite, with the extra competition of a points system and league table.
New players.

Don't be discouraged if you get kicked soon (or often) after you join. It takes some time to get familiar with what music the other players know, so give it a few tries before deciding the game is not for you. Don't worry about joining in the middle of a season, you will be given some starter points to compensate for the rounds you missed. Note that you must have your recently played tracks set to "public" to play this game. If you are unwilling to do so, you should not join.

All links for the current season can be found here.

How to play.
The game is played as a series of rounds, each of which is held within 24 hours of it's being opened. A full season consists of 30 rounds. Each round will be carried out by either the current champion, the group leader or occasionally a guest. At some point the member page is opened, and the person doing the round inspects the artist each member is currently listening to, or their most recently listened artist. They then kick out any members whose music falls foul of these rules.
  • If they have heard music before by that artist.
  • If the member has not listened to music in the last 72 hours.
  • if the member is listening to the same band as another member.
The full rules, details of the scoring system, champions duties and other information about the game can all be found in this thread.

Similar Games.

Music Knowledge Challenge is similar to this game. It has no points system, seasons or league tables, so one kick won't ruin your season.

    The box now shows correctly again and my scrobbles are now coming back from the cache (weird timestamps but at least it's working again).

    That thread works correctly if you use the "reply" link where the text box should be. I have seen it before but only on threads with thousands of replies in groups with thousands of members.

    Is anybody else' Last.fm doing strange stuff? My profile-page seems stuck on Big Fish (but the artists+tracks show up on my Recently Listened-page) + http://www.last.fm/group/Obscure+Music+Game/forum/130031/_/2053187/3#f18189389 somehow has no text-box o_0 I hope it's not those pebbles you get before the avalanche.

    90% list updated again for season 23. Well done to Mrsixtyfive, jakbu, Psyphoriac and Laxarsel who all join the list.

    "90% survivors" I have a feeling I'm no longer on it .*goes to have a peek*

    I have made a start on updating the game records and stats, which haven't been done since the end of season 19. 90% survivors list is first to be updated. Many new players on the list, and Apollyon-Nine is back at the top.

    I believe the cut off time is Sunday mid-day GMT, although the updated chart doesn't get shown until monday or tuesday, sometimes even later. The KOC semi-final P* artists will likely do quite well, and Doomed Fate.

    Your Schizophrenia and Теми и Идеи were nominated in Artist of the Week and some members here vote in this group.

  • Alainn

    Is it supposed to update that quickly? I only played Your Schizophrenia on the 17th.

  • temujin1234

    rolandkirk is correct, I hunted both and also Johnny Taylor and Subway to Sally. I also scrobbled Isaac Hayes and Grandmaster Flash who I gave kicks for with no scrobbles.

    @drumaboy70 : It's the result of Knockout Challenge - Season 23 Quarter Finals. The same for The Doobie Brothers I think ;-)
