You know the deal with the show: you choose something that really gets under your skin and if the host agrees it's forever banished to Room 101, symbolically removing it from the world forever. Course, it doesn't do anything really (if only we had that power!) but it's a bit of fun.

So I'd like to try it with music as the only required criterion.

Outside of that, it can be a band you hate, an artist, a song, an album, a style or genre of music, a producer, a trend in music, anything music or music related, and there are only a few loose rules.

1. Each specific thing can only be successful once, ie if someone sends Westlife into Room 101, they can't be chosen again. Neither, in fairness, can any of the members, though specific music by them can. Think of it as the band is in Room 101 but their music is still out there (god help us!). Additionally, you could vote for something related to Westlife, for instance, like boybands in general, or Louis Walsh, or bands trying to play swing or jazz etc. But again, once a specific thing, person, idea or whatever is in Room 101 it can't be put in there again, which should really be obvious.

2. You can't really just say "I hate Motorhead" or "All jazz is crap": you need to have a reasonably considered argument, as, if this gets enough interest, I will pit three choices against each other, with only one getting the chance to send their chosen item to Room 101. Of course, anyone failing can always try again. Be creative: remember, you are trying to convince me, and as with the show, the final word is mine.

I guess that's it really, just the two rules. If this gets popular I'll post a regular "inventory" of what's in Room 101, so newcomers will know what they should or can not pick. Also, no fighting, though debate, conducted in a civilised way and with a clear head by all, is as always welcomed. You can sort of jockey for position, as it were, trying to convince me why your item is better than his or hers, but no glib put-downs please. Any nastiness will result in your item being summarily ejected, and quite possibly your own future choices ignored. As in all things, it's fun so play nice.

To nominate something, simply post and wait to see when I reply. If you haven't quite convinced me I'll tell you, and give you a chance to do so, or if I have any questions or concerns about your choice that'll be in my reply post(s) too.

So, Room 101 is open for business: who's first through the door?
