Acclaimed Music Forums

I have decided to go ahead and start nominations for the third edition of Overlooked songs; this time, I have decided to focus on the 2010s ahead of our inevitable end of decade list. Unfortunately, this means excluding 2019, but hopefully that will be fresh in everyone's mind with the EOY stuff anyway.


Here are the rules:
1. There will be 128 songs total, 14 from each year between 2010 and 2018; two years will get an additional song for a total of 15 (determined simply by which two years receive a 15th nomination first).
2. Year will be determined by how they are listed on Acclaimed Music
3. For a song to be eligible, it must be outside the top 50 for its year on Acclaimed Music while being at least bubbling.
3.a. Since 2018 is still not listed on the main site, use the excel file; eligible songs will be #51-200
4. The bracket will be organized by release date, so the earliest two songs will face each other in the first round and so on
5. Each user is limited to one song per year and one song per artist/related acts (no nominating The Knife and Fever Ray, etc)
6. Each user can nominate one song each day (basically, make sure a night has passed since your last vote)

Let me know if you see any issues with these rules or have questions

I'll start us off with:
Majical Clouds - Downtown (released October 7, 2015)

KALLITECHNIS - Come Up (2017)

Marina and the Diamonds - I Am Not a Robot (2010, bubbling)
