Posted December 30, 201113 yr Hello all, I did this last year and thought I'd do it again this year. It's the same format as last year. You may nominate up to 5 songs which have not previously been nominated by someone else. The only eligibility rules are as follows 1) It must have been given some form of release this year, either as a single, on an album released in 2011 or a leak/hype type single. 2) It must be a song that would be discussed in this forum 3) It must not have been in last years list which you can see here: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=123018 You can nominate in this thread. I'll wait until there's at least 100 nominations again, if there's more than that I'll allow any until next Friday evening.

December 30, 201113 yr Gang Gang Dance - Glass Jar Battles - Wall Street Neon Indian - Polish Girl Active Child - Playing House (feat. How To Dress Well) Washed Out - You & I (feat. Caroline Polachek) I avoided obvious tracks such as Midnight City since I'm sure someone else will nominate them. Choosing which tracks by said artists was more difficult than choosing the artists themselves. I was torn between nominating my favourites and those that I reckon would perform better. Similarly, I left out Pandr Eyez / Chad Valley and others as I don't think they're too well known on Buzzjack. Nevertheless, I don't think I've been listening to too much obscure stuff this year, so hopefully I won't find any glaring omissions this year. Is You & I okay? The original's from 2010 but 2011 received an UPDATE. A rather brilliant one too. If not, could you change it to Eyes Be Closed by the same artist? Thankyou! Edited December 30, 201113 yr by Harve
December 30, 201113 yr Gotye & Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know Black Keys - Lonely Boy Florence & The Machine - What The Water Gave Me Florence & The Machine - Shake It Out Kate Bush - Among Angels I was also going to go for Ed Sheeran but I don't actually think it's indie or alternative at all even though the thread is in this forum. Also not quite sure Gotye and Kimbra qualify but it has a subtle, alternative vibe to it and the album would definitely be put under alternative as a whole. Edited December 30, 201113 yr by Liаm
December 30, 201113 yr I was narrowing it down, for some reason accidentally pressed post while doing so, I've edited now :lol:

If it's a different version then I'll let it in I guess. It'll be more well known this year anyway I'd imagine.
