Best Songs of the Year 20 songs from 2017: The Vote / Result Merged

[Ome]

Nominate 20 songs from 2017

Another year over and another year of new songs are now floating around in our heads.

What were your favourite songs that were out during the year 2017?




Posting a link for each nomination would be ideal, that way others can watch/listen and decide whether they want to include that song in their final ten.

If possible (not compulsory) try to avoid posting the videos as this slows down the thread.

Staying with the same format. Once the nominations are complete, I will post the final list and everyone can then check out all the nominated songs and vote for their favourite ten from other member's lists.

Duplicates are more than welcome, but they won't be included when we take the vote

To clarify for any newcomers: The idea is, we all nominate songs we like (based on the title/theme of the thread). We then check out each other's nominations and pick a favourite ten from their lists.


20 songs are the maximum, but if you don't have 20, anything less is fine.

Everyone is welcome to join in and nominate 20 songs


Last day for nominations is
Thursday 28th December​

 

[Mel O'Drama]

Rather than list ten songs each for the two artists whose new albums I've bought this year I'm only nominating two songs this time round:

Imperfection - Evanescence

Scared Of The Dark - Steps




Imperfection - Evanescence
Scared Of The Dark - Steps

 

[Willie Oleson]

There's a minimum of three nominations. Do it over

 

[Ome]

I started this over two hours a go and I certainly didn't expect to go past one in the morning, but with so many great songs this year it was hard, no scrap that, it was incredibly difficult to cut it down to 20 and then don't get me started on watching the videos.



The Man – The Killers
Brandon sings about the man he used to be, arrogance and egotistical to say the least

The voting round is going to be a trial!

 

[Ome]

The voting round is going to be a trial!

I could easily pick five from everyone's list







Well, apart from Mel's

 

[Willie Oleson]

I could easily pick five from everyone's list

Yes, I meant the ranking, because there are too many songs that deserve to be "Song Of The Year".

p.s. this is also going to change my Spotlight List, because I don't want to nominate those songs (which I shall not mention) again.

See, it's nothing but trouble!

 

[Willie Oleson]

Everything Is Never Enough – Goldfrappe

Nice video!

 

[Ome]

As always, a new thread for the votes to take place allowing the list to be on page one. Once completed the threads will be merged together.

Please vote for your favourite ten from nominations that other members have made.
