Florence and the Machine - Ship to Wreck (3137)

I was really close to nominating Florence and the Machine - Shake It Out (3074)

Since that was probably my last nomination, here are some songs I'd love to see someone nominate in some of the open groups:

Muse - Plug in Baby (1855)
Alabama Shakes - Hold On (1904)

Pink Floyd - Time (2028)
Weezer - Island in the Sun (2610)

The Wallflowers - One Headlight (3576)

Pearl Jam - Last Kiss (7085)
Audioslave - Like a Stone (7088)

#1139 Leonard Cohen - So Long Marianne

Is it alright if I start tournament for the songs ranked at the bottom of the AM list running simultaneously to this one? No-one's nominated anything from the range I plan on using (9825-10000).

In the last tournament.

Was going to pick Jumpers for the 6001-8000 but since there is already another great Sleater-Kinney song in, let's go with :

Chance The Rapper - Chain Smoker (6729)

Randy Crawford - One Day I'll Fly Away (6513)

Quintette du Hot Club de France avec Alix Combelle - Nuages (1402)

The Kinks - Shangri-La (#5022)

My favorite song by them. Happy to see it finally getting ranked, after having been a bubbler since forever (and it would have made the list even if it would have remained 6000 songs!).

Barrington Levy – Here I Come (3001)

Has the 6001-8000 section filled up yet? I’d love to squeeze in R.E.M. - The Great Beyond (6749)

Wir sind Helden - Guten Tag (5516)

Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me (2199)

Looks like group 2001-3000 is closed.

#1331 Haim - The Wire

I believe there are only four slots left all in the 5001-6000 range!

Up Where We Belong - Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes (3660)

I'm afraid the 3001-6000 group is full.

Both Haim songs nominated in the 1001-2000 group. I'm looking forward to listen to them, to hopefully find out what I've been failing to hear before.

Stevie already has six songs in, so I'm going to push his seventh nomination to not count until 5 am CST. The most anyone should have at the moment is six.

Well, I also couldn't get a nomination in for the 4001-5000 brackets or the 8001-10000 brackets.

That has nothing to do with it. You have six songs in; this has only been open for six days, with each of us getting one nomination each day:
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - So Good at Being in Trouble
They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse in Your Soul
Blur - Tender
Nina Simone - Sinnerman
Joan Jett - Bad Reputation
Sleater-Kinney - Get Up


You keep voting ahead of when you are supposed to, and I can imagine it's throwing things off; you appear to be confusing yourself as well. Like, your last post made it look like you were taking the last spot from the 6001-8000 section; what if someone saw that and changed their vote because of it? It's unfair to other users of the forum at this stage of the nomination process. I had to make that updated post to show people that slot was still open.

Like, I'd understand if there was some confusion due to time zones, but if you're in New York, we're only an hour apart. I don't understand what has caused this issue to be persistent throughout this entire thread, especially since I'm not running into this problem with anyone else.

This is true. My problem is that I am very absent-minded sometimes and sometimes forget if I already nominated a song for that day. I'll be more mindful, and I'm happy with the six songs I nominated that made it in.

Pixies - Alec Eiffel (5537)

Noir Désir -Tostaky (Le continent) (5664)

Shuggie Otis - Inspiration Information (5743)

Miles Davis | All Blues (5487)

One nomination left, in the 6001-8000 range!

Arno - Les yeux de ma mère (7914)
