I'm aware that the R&B forum has been quiet of late, so to close out the rest of the summer we will be holding this contest to determine Buzzjack's favourite old school R&B/Urban anthem! This is the nomination round, so there are a few rules to abide by:

• 'Old school' is defined as any song released before and including 2012. The reason for this being that some early 10s songs have now entered 'throwback hour' on radio stations (Pass Out, Hold Yuh, Earthquake, Oliver Twist etc...)
• You can nominate a maximum of 10 songs, but everybody must nominate a minimum of 5 songs.
• Every set of submissions must contain a minimum of two male-led songs and two female-led songs. This is to ensure a diversity of gender and reflect the full spectrum of potential entries.
• Try to select songs from as wide a range of genres as possible. You wouldn't be penalised for submitting ten R&B songs, but it would be ideal to have the widest possible range of songs.
• You must contain at least one song that was not a UK Top 40 hit.

Hopefully these rules will ensure a diverse, mixed and interesting set of nominations! Every song nominated will enter the semi final draw, which will be randomised, so please do not select songs that have already been nominated as this will have no impact on the later rounds!

I've never attempted a song contest before in this forum, so all entries and submissions are encouraged... enjoy!
