Hello fellow rock enthusiasts! I was thinking of doing a brackets competition, similar to Artie's AirBrackets and popstop's Summertime Madness game, but one that exclusively caters to the rock folk that frequent here. I will ask of you guys to post a ranking list of eight songs that were/are your summer anthems. They have to be songs that rose to significance in the span of time between April and the present. I will give until 12:00 AM Eastern time on August 24th to submit your lists. Once a poster selects a song in his/her list, the following posters may not use that same song. After the lists have been collected to create the brackets (I will let you know when this time comes), anyone will be able to vote in each round, regardless of if they submitted a list or not. Vote for the song you most prefer of the two songs listed in each bracket. One vote for each bracket per person. You are not required to vote on each bracket. In the first round, ties will be broken by the higher bracket number. For subsequent rounds, ties will be broken first by total cumulative vote, including previous rounds. Keep this in mind when you rank your songs.
My picks: 01. Vance Joy - "Riptide" 02. Nothing More - "This Is the Time (Ballast)" 03. Agent Fresco - "Dark Water" 04. Seether - "Words As Weapons" 05. Coldplay - "Magic" 06. Hozier - "Take Me to Church" 07. Lorde - "Glory and Gore" 08. Linkin Park - "Guilty All the Same" f/ Rakim |

Can I do one?

2.) Joywave f/KOPPS - "Tongues"
3.) Foster The People - "Best Friend"
4.) Lorde - "Tennis Court"
5.) Coldplay - "A Sky Full of Stars"

EDIT: Literally every song on here has either been played at my gym or played on the daily except for "Lazaretto" (which is taken) and "Bad Blood" (which I'm surprised no one has taken).

By the way, this is supposed to be for songs that have rose on Alternative, Rock, etc. charts from April 2014-present. That knocks out every song of yours besides 2 ("Cardiac Arrest" & "Flaws") lol. |

Really? I thought this had the same rules as the other game. Which would be any alt song or rock song could make it.

Yeah it did, if they were your summer jams. Check DJDaveMick's choices.  I'd rather honestly not change all of them, maybe leave 1 or 2 older songs if possible.  |

I'd rather honestly not change all of them, maybe leave 1 or 2 older songs if possible. I'd like to keep it consistent with the other lists, if you don't mind. There's some pretty pop-leaning songs you could put on the lists, such as "Waves" (Mr. Probz) and "Believer" (American Authors). You're also welcome to put any obscurities or non-single tracks if you wish that rose to relevance and/or were released between April and now. |

4. Bear Hands - Agora

nvm decided to try anyway. most of my top favorites were picked but I decided to throw in some songs that people missed that I want to see in the bracket. Some of these are oldish so if you want to exclude them let me know, but it was hard enough coming up with songs after all of the other picks had come in already.
Sir Sly - Gold
Royal Blood - Out Of The Black
Max Frost - White Lies
Beck - Blue Moon
Spoon - Do You
alt-J - Left Hand Free
SomeKindaWonderful - Reverse
Bear Hands - Agora (wait this one was taken...uh)
Fitz and the Tantrums - Walker (maybe too old, idk?)
