we're here! sorry it'staken so long, idk how many will still be interested in this but it's worth a go at least~

~ You have FIVE nominations, use them wisely~ all (eligible) nominated songs will advance to the main voting round

~ Your choices have to fit under the Indie/Rock/Alternative umbrella (mostly any artist whose music would be posted in *this* forum, some artists like George Ezra, Years & Years, Halsey etc are probably too 'pop' but i guess you could go on a song-by-song basis)

~ Your choices can be: any track released or promoted as a single in 2018 / any album track from a 2018 release / any track that reached its chart peak in 2018 (provided they don't clash with the rule below)

~ You can't nominate anything that featured in a previous edition (http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=209165 for reference)

-x-

Last day for nominations is 23rd March 2019 (subject to change)

Arctic Monkeys - Four Out of Five
Bring Me the Horizon - MANTRA
The 1975 - Give Yourself a Try
Blossoms - There's a Reason Why (I Never Returned Your Calls)

Posted by: Moses 13th March 2019, 06:23 PM

The top 5 eligible Indie, Rock & Alternative songs from my 2018 year-end list were...

1. James Bay "Pink Lemonade"
2. The 1975 "TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME"
3. The Kooks "All The Time"
4. Razorlight "Carry Yourself"
5. Vance Joy "We're Going Home"

[excluded "Feel It Still" and "Live In The Moment" by Portugal. The Man as they were on the 2017 list]
[excluded "High Hopes" as I imagine it'd be considered too poppy, but that'd otherwise have topped this list]

So many other great songs that would've been nice to include such as Blossoms "How Long Will This Last", IDLES "Danny Nedelko", The Vaccines "I Can't Quit" and We Are Scientists "One In, One Out"!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 13th March 2019, 06:24 PM

Feel It Still had it's UK chart peak in 2018, so it would count if you wanted to include it.

Posted by: Moses 13th March 2019, 06:25 PM

It was on last year's list - though so was "Live In The Moment" so I'm gonna have to take that one out!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 13th March 2019, 06:29 PM

Ah right, love Pink Lemonade btw!

Posted by: Bangtan Cody 13th March 2019, 06:31 PM

CHVRCHES - Miracle
Imagine Dragons - Natural
lovelytheband - Broken
Panic! At The Disco - Say Amen (Saturday Night)
Twenty One Pilots - Jumpsuit

idk which ones are too poppy

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 13th March 2019, 06:32 PM

I'd say Panic! and that particular Chvrches song is pushing it tbh, up to Seven I suppose!

Posted by: SevenSeize 13th March 2019, 06:45 PM

Panic! and Chvrches are fine imo ~

Posted by: Moses 13th March 2019, 06:48 PM

Does Jessie Ware "Overtime" count? I think that was posted in this forum, but I'd consider it dance-pop. And then of course Years & Years get posted in this forum so it's hard to use that as a barometer

Posted by: Bjork 13th March 2019, 06:57 PM

Years & Years is the perfect definition of POP, there's nothing alternative, nothing rock, nothing indie about them
same for Jessie Ware

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 13th March 2019, 06:59 PM

Yeah I've never really seen why Y&Y are posted here, just because they're a band, it doesn't make them 'alternative'.

Posted by: Dircadirca 14th March 2019, 04:58 AM

The classifications are weird to me too. Billie Eilish's threads are all in Pop but her music is way more Alternative than plenty of stuff in this section.

Also ~

Grimes feat. HANA - We Appreciate Power
Let's Eat Grandma - Snakes & Ladders
Metric - Dark Saturday
Mitski - Geyser
Superorganism - Everybody Wants To Be Famous

Posted by: Moses 14th March 2019, 08:21 AM

Oh love that Superorganism song, and "Night Time" too.

Posted by: Bjork 14th March 2019, 11:22 AM

for me Billie Eilish is also 100% alternative

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 14th March 2019, 12:32 PM

DMA's - For Now
Dream Wife - Somebody
Young Fathers - In My View
Metric - Dressed to Suppress
ionnalee feat. TR/ST - Harvest

Posted by: Liаm 14th March 2019, 12:36 PM

Badflower - Ghost
grandson - Thoughts & Prayers
Lykke Li - Deep End
grandson - Blood // Water
Billie Eilish - When The Party's Over (surely this is eligible despite being in pop)

Was gonna say High Hopes but that's definitely pushing it

Posted by: blacksquare 14th March 2019, 02:50 PM

Mitski 'Nobody'
ROSALÍA 'MALAMENTE'
Snail Mail 'Heat Wave'
Soccer Mommy 'Cool'
U.S. Girls 'Rosebud'

Let's Eat Grandma 'Falling Into Me' was close...

Posted by: Villages 14th March 2019, 06:25 PM

The Beths - Little Death
Let's Eat Grandma - Falling Into Me
Natalie Prass - The Fire
Hatchie - Adored

1975 - Love It If We Made It

Posted by: Harve 14th March 2019, 11:37 PM

I guess the last one is indie-tinged dance music but I'm going for it.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 14th March 2019, 11:43 PM

I've already put down GYAT

But I'll change mine if you don't

Posted by: blacksquare 15th March 2019, 08:52 AM

Nicolas Jaar is definitely worthy of being here

Posted by: Severin 15th March 2019, 08:16 PM

Calva Louise - I'm Gonna Do Well
Projector - Break Your Own Heart
Grymm - Br-ea-the
Pale Waves - Kiss
Birdeatsbaby - Better Man

Tough call for me this year but that Calva Louise album is incredible

Posted by: Steve201 15th March 2019, 08:41 PM

Oh I didn't realise duplications were pointless, sorry! Could have picked any number of the album tbf!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 15th March 2019, 08:50 PM

All (eligible) nominated songs will advance to the main voting round, so you can still get another nomination

Posted by: JosephAvery 15th March 2019, 08:55 PM

Jagwar Twin - Loser
Kate Nash - Hate You
Kate Nash - Karaoke Kiss
Katie Garfield - Gallows
YUNGBLUD - Machine Gun (F**k the NRA)

Those Kate songs are probably leaning more towards pop but her threads are in this forum!

Pale Waves - Noises
Jade Bird - Love Has All Been Done Before
Ólafur Arnalds (feat. SOHN) – Unfold

We've both picked the Razorlight song too! (Good choice )

Idles "Danny Nedelko" needs a vote... thinking about what I might change my noms to if some of mine are duplicated hmmm

Posted by: Steve201 16th March 2019, 10:10 PM

Razorlights current album is brill - that's the highlight!

Posted by: Moses 17th March 2019, 08:43 AM

Aye, it was the penultimate number 1 of 2018 in my chart

Posted by: uhsting 18th March 2019, 11:30 PM

1. Villagers - Again
2. Ribongia ft. Bastien Picot - Gone
3. CLOVES - One Big Nothing
4. LOVE SICK - Fever
5. WILD - Just Begun

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 18th March 2019, 11:44 PM

That Ribongia track sounds more R&B/Electronic tbh

Posted by: DalekTurret32 20th March 2019, 11:38 AM

Thom Yorke - Unmade
Pond - Burnt Out Star
Beach House - Lemon Glow
Ex:Re - Crushing
Gwenno - Eus Keus

Posted by: SevenSeize 30th March 2019, 12:04 AM

leaving this open a bit longer to get some more nominations~

(should do mine at some point lol)

Posted by: Moses 30th March 2019, 12:23 AM

Can you change my duplicate vote to Idles - Danny Nedelko please? 😁

Posted by: SevenSeize 30th March 2019, 12:44 AM

done!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 30th March 2019, 12:49 AM

Me and Steve have both pit Give Yourself a Try, so can you change my vote for it to The Vaccines - I Can't Quit

Posted by: Moses 30th March 2019, 11:05 AM

^^ another good choice that was up there for me but not quite

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 1st April 2019, 03:00 PM

Yeah it's a brilliant track as well! It's become one of their main tracks to perform live as well, with it getting as much crowd interaction as If You Wanna!

Posted by: Bré 1st April 2019, 07:27 PM

Cosmo Sheldrake - Wriggle
Iglooghost - Clear Tamei
NIMMO - Orange Skies
ROSALÍA - PIENSO EN TU MIRÁ
twenty one pilots - Levitate

Hope those are all sufficiently 'indie/alternative' ~ took a little inspiration from the songs already nominated + a few BJSC faves, I kinda don't really remember much without having personal charts to look back on oops

Posted by: Doctor Blind 22nd April 2019, 02:53 PM

Hopefully these are alternative/indie enough for the list.

Yves Tumor “Lifetime”
Sufjan Stevens “Mystery Of Love”
Moses Sumney “Rank & File”
MorMor “Heaven’s Only Wishful”
Ravyn Lenae “Sticky”

Posted by: Jade 22nd April 2019, 08:47 PM

Christine and the Queens - Doesn't matter
Christine and the Queens - Girlfriend (feat. Dâm-Funk)
Lana Del Rey - Mariners Apartment Complex
TĀLĀ - Stay Here In The Sun (feat. Naughty Boy)
