Overlooked Songs 2: Nominations

Post by BleuPanda »

There will be 8 divisions of 16 songs each; each voter is limited to one song per artist and one song per division. As soon as a division reaches its 16th song, it closes.

You are allowed to nominate a song once a day; so you don't have to keep checking your exact message time, you can define a day passing as when you wake up the next morning.

Note that the bubbling section is just bubblers this year; I'm going to expand Best of the B-Sides next year to all unacclaimed songs off acclaimed albums.

Since songs are separated and seeded by acclaimed music rank, include the AM rank of your song.

These are the divisions:
1001-2000
2001-3000
3001-4000
4001-5000
5001-6000
6001-8000
8001-10000
bubblers

Whoopsie! Then those are my first four days' worth of nominations (remind me on the fifth day to nominate Tom Petty's Don't Come Around Here No More)

Oh wait, I thought the rank was an indication of the year and you were saying it was from 1995 for some reason. Silly me!

Nice pick! My family friend loves this song (specifically the Sugarland cover) and played it repeatedly when we traveled together a couple weeks ago, and I got into the song that way. (It was pretty much the only new song I really liked among his musical preferences, which was dominated by cloying country.) So it's a funny coincidence that someone has nominated it for this game :D
