Boardsies Decide - The Greatest Song from 2010s

Purgative

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers: U Get Me High

Was going to vote for Foofighters but their video is such a rip off of Falling down - I couldn't.


This Pitbulls was OK, but I've never liked any of there other stuff so.

Pitbull feat. Ke$ha - Timber ; one of my guilty pleasure songs, absolute tune, fair play to whoever nominated it.

Nobody else included it which I thought was a shame.

Which makes this a very easy tie to resolve, casting my vote for Pitbull and Ke$ha.

Pitbull feat. Ke$ha - Timber advances to Round 1

Necro

HAIM - If I Could Change Your Mind

The Black Keys - Gold on the Ceiling

Billie Eilish - Bury a Friend

Billie Eilish

This is my favourite by her. Love the sinister atmosphere in it, and the minimalist accompaniment and production is really cool too.
Black Keys one is good too though.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

HAIM - If I Could Change Your Mind ; one of my nominations, and I honestly could've nominated 20 of their songs for this, as I'm on a massive HAIM buzz these days, which is why I had to settle for my one song per artist rule. I really like all 3 songs here though.

Apologies for the delay, child and toilet training - mess everywhere :pac:


Ok so it's a 5-5 tie here and I'm going to cast my vote for The Black Keys. Prefer it just a little bit better.

The Black Keys - Gold on the Ceiling advances

Necro

Rihanna - Where Have You Been

Mumford & Sons - The Cave

One Direction - History

ShaneU

Mumfird and Sons, that's one of their best

One Direction.

Feck it, why not sure?

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Mumford & Sons - The Cave ; will have to be this I suppose, but would be great if we could have HAIM back in over any of these three?

the purple tin

Mumfords, please.

Mumford & Sons - The Cave

JohnGreenFan

I love all of these songs!!! This is killer.

Gonna have to be Mumford though. Even though Where Have You Been is one of my absolute favourite night out songs and I love that one direction song.

JP Liz V1

The Cave

Necro

Mumford & Sons - The Cave is our final Round 1 qualifier.

Thanks for voting so far folks.

Round 1 starts tomorrow but I'll post the format and qualified songs from the Prelims tonight.

Purgative

Thanks for all the legwork Necro. I've enjoyed and learnt some.

Thanks as always Necro, thread is ticking along smoothly.

I think this means 14 of my 20 nominations made it to Round 1, which is a decent return I guess. Including 5 which didn't feature in prelims at all, meaning there must be some like-minded folk out there who also nominated them!

Format for Round 1:


I will post 4 match ups each hour and most votes inside the 60 mins in each of the matches will see the winning songs advance.

This is to give people time (if they want) to listen to all 4 contests and vote accordingly.

For later rounds we can revise this as is necessary.

JP Liz V1

What time you kicking off tomorrow?

Mehaffey1

Joined this too late to submit what would have been my own Nominations but can definitely say I would have included none of these qualifiers!

Can't wait for the next round though

Same time, around 5pm

I think I got two through which is more than I expected.

Most got no votes!

Necro

Match 63 and 64 are going to be a little bit different just as an FYI.

Match 63 will be triple threat like the prelims.

Match 64 - any song that was eliminated via tiebreak gets a second chance in the contest. I'm counting 7 of them, so at the end of the round we will be having a right old showdown between those. If anyone wants to check and see are there more by all means fire ahead

ShaneU

I think 7 of my 11 songs got through

lassykk

I forgot to nominate Avril Lavigne - Head Above Water. Probably wouldn't have gotten through but its a cracking song

Necro

Round 1 kicking off at 5pm folks

Irish Aris
