Kirby's Rainbow Resort

Hey everyone, this is Ian with Kirby's Dream Band! If you don't know me yet or aren't familiar with the group, check out my other main thread or our Facebook page.

We're doing something really awesome this month called Fan-Favorites February! We've started thinking about future Kirby songs to play and there are literally hundreds of excellent tracks to choose from (as I'm sure you all know)! We figure, what better way to help us decide than to get feedback directly from our fans? And seeing as how this is pretty much the definitive community for Kirby enthusiasts, I've love to get everybody's input that's willing to give it.

Each day this month, I'll be posting a Kirby medley idea that we’re considering covering. We'll be looking everyone's comments and also how many "likes" each song gets, so I'll be linking to each post directly by updating the master list here. I can't wait to hear what all your favorites are!

So... Do you mean we get to suggest songs?
If so, maybe you could do a medley of songs from subgames. A cover of "Bumper Crop Bump" from K64 would be so awesome.

Songs suggestions are great too! Basically, we've gone through the full library of Kirby music and picked about 29 different medley ideas that we really like. I'm going to post one a day for the whole month, and see which ideas get the most attention. We're really curious what Kirby and KDB fans would like to hear us play the most and this seemed like a fun way to do it.

Also, this Saturday you may see something that you really like.

I like where this is going. I love Block Ball's soundtrack so I am already very pleased with the ideas.

Block Ball's got an under-appreciated soundtrack, so I definitely would love to hear a medley of this! Looking forward to whatever your other ideas are.

Well, we're one week into Fan-Favorites February! I've posted about ¼ of the medleys we're considering. What are you favorite songs so far?

Oh, really looking forward to factory investigation from Kirby 64, though I'd also love to hear Sky Sands!

I can't wait to hear Grassland and Hillside Ride.

Kirby Air Ride has a fantastic soundtrack. I'd love to hear you guys play some of its songs!

The fact you have Dark Castle and Coo's theme in there is pretty awesome, but I will not be satisfied until KDL2's cloudy park is on there.

That and either Nutty Noon 1 or Kracko's stage from Block Ball.

These are all great ideas. We've still got 15 days left, so check back periodically to see if we're considering your picks.

But for now, it's Valentine's Day and we're at the Fan-Favorites February halfway point! I've posted seven new medley ideas this week, and now you can cast your votes for which of those songs you like best!

I'm not a particularly picky guy when it comes to music. I will, say, however, that I love the idea of "Kirby... In SPACE!" Outer Rings is one of my favourite KEY songs. "Shadow Hunters" is pretty awesome as well, considering I really like Kirby 64. "Rat Race," "Evil Unleashed," "Kirby Krush!," and "Robot Rock" are all ones I'd really like to hear.

Also, it'd be pretty awesome if you found a way to fit Tree to Tree from Mass Attack into a medley. It's one of the songs I remember most from Mass Attack.

Can't wait for Bumper Crop Bump!
Also Coo's theme, Outer Rings, Trees in the Depths of the Earth and Factory Investigation are pretty awesome.
