Hello all,

 

Thought I'd do this competition, be interesting to see.

 

I'll get a shortlist of hopefully 100 songs, and then people can vote for their top 10/20/40 and I'll post the results a bit after that....

 

Please nominate 5 songs THAT HAVE NOT ALREADY BEEN NOMINATED. Hopefully then 20 people will nominate and we can have a shortlist of 100.

 

There are no particular rules, just for the song to be something which would be discussed in this forum, and it must have been released as a single or on an album from this year. Obviously the more well known the greater chance it has of doing well...

 

I'll go first:

 

Arcade Fire 'Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

LCD Soundsystem 'Dance Yrself Clean'

Mumford & Sons 'The Cave'

The National 'Conversation 16'

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart 'Say No To Love'
