Overlooked Songs 4: 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. (Note: if you already have a song in each open division, you are then allowed a second song per division)

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.

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

The 1000-2000 is filled to the brim with forum favorites, so the winner of this game has a high likelihood of coming from that group.

Bachman Turner Overdrive - Taking Care of Business - 1952

Part of my determination for selecting this song is based on the difference between the AM2020 rating and the result of the 2018 poll. Taking Care of Business did not place in the 2018 Poll.

Remember you can’t nominate anything in the AM top 1000!

Re: Overlooked Songs 4: Nominations

Post by Rob »

I've decided to add another element to my nominations, only one per decade. Having already done the 2010's and 1930's, here is my entry for the 2000's:

6030. Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God

I only just noticed that the later half of the list is divided in groups of 2000 instead of 1000. Why are the sections with the more unknown songs restricted instead of the earlier ones that still contain a lot of obvious classics?

I feel like there are still songs in the 1001-2000 range that get largely overlooked. Unfortunately, a few of the nominations have been songs no one would truly consider 'overlooked,' but it's hard to enforce a rule such as 'songs from 1001-2000 except for the really big hits' since that latter part is debatable. I guess I could have limited each 1000 section to 12 (with the first 8 to fill getting a 13th slot) and then had everything equally distributed?

I could still make this change, technically, but it feels wrong to change the rules a few days into nominations.

Yeah I agree, a lot of songs in the 1000 to 3000 don't need that much extra spotlight. I think we already have 4 nominations that made the top 1000 in our last songs poll.

That being said, rules are rules so I'll pick
Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy (1137)
