Oh yes. Oh yes. It's happening.
This thread will pit all of your very favorite music videos against each other in a totally pointless, but hopefully entertaining battle royale! Instrospective indie artists will take on outlandish hair bands! Will you choose your current favorite? Or will nostalgia win the day as you vote with your inner 12-year old?
After a nomination process, the top videos will be placed in a tournament style bracket and face off against each other one-on-one. And then ... votes will be cast, tears will be shed, profanity will be uttered ...
How to nominate a music video:
For these battles, I would like all voters to have the opportunity to quickly watch both videos before casting their vote. Therefore, if you are the first person to nominate a particular video, it must be accompanied by some sort of link where we can watch it. All subsequent nominations for a video that has already been linked can simply occur by listing the title. Again, you only need to provide a link for a first nomination. However, if you think you have a better link for a nominated song, by all means, include it. If you cannot find any such link, the video will NOT be eligible.
The primary focus in your decision making should be the video. You should not simply vote for the best overall song, although the appeal of the music will certainly be a factor. I will ask voters to keep an open mind to new videos they have not previously seen.
All other issues will be resolved by me as we go.
To start with, I will allow 30 nominations from each person, so choose wisely. Ranking will be determined by number of nominations, so yes, it does matter if you mention a video that has already been mentioned. Go ahead whenever you're ready.
