About SOTD
The Song of the Day (SotD) is a fun way to get exposed to some new music, or maybe learn more about a song you already know.
The way it works is this:
Anyone can nominate a song on the Song of the Day special page. Once approved, the nominations are then moved to the queue. One nomination is then selected each day from the list of songs in the queue and displayed on the LyricWiki Main Page as "Sotd". The nifty badge on the right is also added to the song's page.
The successful nominee isn't forgotten about either. Providing they are registered (and don't use an alias when submitting their nomination) they receive notification that their song has won "Song of the Day". Also, that their name has now been added to the list of SOTD Winners.
After the day is over, the entry is archived. The entry is also displayed on this page until the middle of the following month.
So now you know how it works, why not head on over to the Song of the Day special page and nominate a song today!
And when you've done that, how about nominating an Album of the Week?

May 17, 2012: N.I.B. by Black Sabbath
- Nominated by Cubs Fan.
- Featuring one of the coolest riffs from Black Sabbath, the third track from Sabbath's debut album isn't necessarily an obscure track, but it's not as well-known as some of their other hits. Bass guitar solos aren't common, but Geezer Butler definitely pulls it off in the first few minutes.

- Nominated by 24.10.133.100.
- With war in the high desert and spiritual warfare being declared by the New Apostolic Reformation (Sarah Palin & Rick Perry are affiliated), with their eye on the U.S.'s democratic government, with theocracy in their hearts, this song's reminder that "The Kingdom can never be won" is pretty relevant. "Let go of the Earth." Terrorize it (and yourselves) no more. Let there be peace.

May 02, 2012: The History of Everything by Barenaked Ladies
- Nominated by Cubs Fan.
- Recognizable to television fans (and science nerds) as the theme to The Big Bang Theory, it's a quirky little song. Picking up tempo as the verse progresses, it's one of the best parts of the show.
