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 (here's last year's list for reference)

 

-x-

 

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

Edited by WhoOdyssey

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"!

Edited by Moses

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

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

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

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 :lol:

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

same for Jessie Ware

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

Edited by WhoOdyssey

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

for me Billie Eilish is also 100% alternative

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 :lol:
