Boardsies Decide - The Greatest Song from 2010s

Necro

Welcome to the tournament thread folks.

Going to be kicking off things from about 10am tomorrow morning with the Preliminary Round.

How it will work is as follows:

71 three way matches. Each match will have a 20 minute time limit.

Vote for your preferred song of the three and most votes after the time limit expires will advance to the First Round.

Any ties will be settled by myself for the Prelims, we may change that to best reason from Round 1 onwards.


See you all tomorrow morning!

Match 2 hurts

Also Starring LeVar Burton

M1
Rubberbandits - Horse Outside ; Gaga and Two Door Cinema Club have much better songs and not mad about these ones, so will throw a vote on Rubberbandits here, probably the only one they'll get

M2
Badflower - Ghost ; slightly tougher because I love SOAK too, but this song is amazingly dark, although I prefer the acoustic version

Purgative

1 Two Door Cinema


2 Soak






20 mins is a little tight to listen to 6 tunes - just my 2 cents.

JohnGreenFan

Two Door Cinema Club
SOAK

Necro

5 minutes remaining

Will just post one battle every 20 mins in that case if the timeframe is a bit too tight.

It is a little tight for 6. I knew a lot of the songs here so was grand for me on the first 2, but will be to the wire in other rounds.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Little Big Town - Girl Crush ; love this song, fair play to whoever nominated it

I never thought I'd type this but same please.

Little Big Two - Girl Crush

Not enough singing in the second one to be classed as a song and Rizzle Kicks are hopeless.

Necro

Little Big Town - Girl Crush advances to Round 1

Necro

Nickelback - When We Stand Together

Lykke Li - Get Some

Ava Max - Sweet but Psycho

Trigger

Nickelback- when we stand together

Yes I like nickelback, this is a great song though

bogman_bass

20 makes minutes is tight. I was watching out for this and still missed the first round. Personally I rather have the 2 rounds together but make it every 4 minutes. You should end up with more votes that way.

Anyways rizzle gets my vote with those 3

Lykke Li

But we couldn't even listen to one meatloaf song in 4 mins

bogman_bass

And I missed that one too

Sweet but psycho gets my vote

Purgative

Nickleback - I like the song. I like the sentiment.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Nickelback - When We Stand Together ; like all 3 here, and very nearly went with Get Some, but will stick with my nomination

Clarabel

Luke Li. Get Some.


Cause they sound like two cats humping. Music gold!

The problem with the normal format of first to X votes is that when the speed increases people sometimes skip over the songs and just vote for what they know

I can revert to that for earlier rounds though if people prefer?

No, don't do that.

I dunno, I nominated them so I obviously like them, ask some of the feckers who said they hate it in the preview round.

Lykke Li

Love this song

That's a good analysis and I prefer the way we're doing it.

Necro

Tight one this, Lykke Li and Nickelback tied on 3 votes each with time running out...

Sorry that was a typo. 40 not 4!

The National.

Even though One Republic is alright

Gaga and Grande.

Comfortable one, this. Best song and best singers.

The National just about missed out in my nominations, glad someone else put them forward.

Bloodbuzz Ohio, please.

(Also, hate being "that guy" but Rain On Me is from 2020)

ShaneU

Bloodbuzz Ohio - was close to nominating it myself, great song

Oh please if you do spot these things point them out, given the volume of songs I'd say a few non-decade specific slipped through the cracks.

We'll leave it as is for this match pending the result anyways

bogman_bass

The National for me

Same please Necro

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande - Rain on Me ; never heard this one before, but it had me up dancing around the room just now, so it gets my vote feck, it being from 2020 changes things, sorry newly discovered song that I love

The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio ; it's a perfectly nice song, happy enough to vote it through to the next round anyway, because I really don't care for Love Runs Out

Clarabel

I like that one Republic song but I'll go the national.

However neither of these will go very far.


The gaga song made it rain for months over lockdown. The day it was released it rained forever
