Tournament 2: Top 64 Songs of the Century, Nomination Thread

Post by Holden »

Hello! Holden here. You may remember how I hosted a Top 32 Albums of All-Time Tournament a while back. Here I am for round 2! This time, the top 64 songs of the century! But this time, you get to nominate them! Below, nominate your favorite songs from 2000-the present, and from your nominations I will randomly select the 64 participants! Here are the rules: each person gets 10 nominations, meaning you can nominate up to 10 songs, or you can choose to use two of your nominations for the same song! Additionally, repeat nominations also increase the odds of a song being pulled, so don’t worry about nominating the same songs as others! You have until midnight on March 15th.
Notes based on participation: Should participation be high I may change it to best of 128, and possible divided up by year? Maybe ensure each year gets five and then having 28 wild cards?
Please use the following format to nominate, and feel free to change your nominations until theyre due!

Artist-Song-Year-# of your ten nominations you’re using

For example:
OutKast-Hey Ya!-2003-5
LCD Soundsystem-All My Friends-2007-5

Do you want to put all 10 of your nominations in this one song, or will you add more? (Great song by the way)
