Liberal Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I have quite a few favorites. But if I had to choose two: Vomit - Girls Cruel - St. Vincent Someone nominated Moneygrabber earlier. Technically that song came out in 2010.

Lucky Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Someone nominated Moneygrabber earlier. Technically that song came out in 2010. Technically you are correct, the album was released in 2010, and normally we go by the album release since not all the songs we nominate don't always make it as singles. The same holds true with Adele's album 21, released in 2010 - the song I nominated wasn't released as a single until Jan 2011. For the purposes of "Best New (single) release, I think we should go by the single release date (I think that's how the Grammy's work as well). Someone correct me if that doesn't seem right .... 'cause I've got a ton of other songs I could nominate. This has been my year for new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberal Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Actually,and I could be wrong, I think their nominees have to have been released during a range of months. Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was eligible for Album of the Year for these upcoming awards despite being a 2010 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 No I think it is eligble. From wiki: but from what I've read was mostly played on local independent radio or on Sirius Radio. also from wiki: In my opinion first commercial release = release year, maybe not officially, but for our purposes here. Anyone with a good argument otherwise is welcome to correct me, but that's how I would see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_M Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Some suggestions in case someone would like to nominate some good songs but you're drawing a blank on last year's songs. [spoilerq:1]More 2011 singles[/spoilerq] [spoilera:1]"When We Stand Together" - Nickelback "Make It Stop (September's Children)" - Rise Against "The Adventures Of Raindance Maggie" - Red Hot Chili Peppers "Sunset In July" - 311 "Changing" - The Airborne Toxic Event [/spoilera] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
