Post subject: Best Song of 2022 Tournament (Noms Temp. Closed)
Well as 2022 music has all been released and still wanting to strike while the water's boiling, thought a quick song tournament would be fun and painless. Pretty much going by similiar rules as the previous ones, mainly it's fine if the song was released as a single in 2021 then on an album in 2022, or vice versa, though limit the distance to anything pre-pandemic- so no "Fourth of July", sorry folks. The one difference I think I'll make is a limit on songs per artist, capping it at two, even though I know a particularly popular album each BEAer may have a particular favorite I think it tends to clutter the tournament with too much of one sound as well as in many ways the songs cancelling each other out. And again (mainly directed at Streams) only singular tracks nominated, not entire musical suites.
So Again three nominations per user, if we don't get to 64 I might open it up but I'm going to let this thread simmer for a bit in order to get the most interest.
RULES
*3 songs per user
*Okay if it's a 2022 single from a 2020 or 2021 album, or vice versa on an album released this year.
*Preferablly songs that were used in the last tournament (20/21) be excluded from this one
*No more nominations from an artist that already has two nominations
*Please for the love of gawd not the alphabet song, not even as a joke

I thought we usually did this a couple months down the road, but I have no complaints
It will take awhile for the nominations to accumulate so it likely won't start for awhile.
Also I really should've made a rule that songs from the last tournament shouldn't have been eligible, but since "Chaise Lounge" is otherwise eligible I'll allow it... but if you have any other favorite Wet Leg (or other band's) songs....

Oops, sorry, I didn't even bother to look! I was still fairly new here at the time...
In that case I think you should leave it out, actually. I can probably come up with another one soon enough, but this time I'll do a bit more of a "background check" first.
No it's fine I should have noted that in the begging, which I'll do now
more importantly. where r u in Rhode Island?! I was born in Providence and grew up in Warwick and then spent most of my twenties crashing RISD parties <God knows I wasn't invited. lol.> wherever Lightning Bolt would b playing!
