Round 2 of the Talossan Music Top 20 - 2020!


Before we start, a quick note on tactical voting
Tactical voting in this case refers to either giving more points than you would normally have to a song because it would make the difference between going through or getting eliminated OR giving fewer points than you would normally have to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be: do not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.

So now to the fun part:

ROUND 2: Ten groups total. Two groups simultaneously. 10 songs per group*. Best 5 go through to the next round.

GIVE 4,3,2,1 points!
Voting will take 72 hours (3 days). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.
You must give points to no more/less than 4 songs per group.
You may vote on one or both groups.

COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC, IS VERY WELCOME.

This time I will definitely include the excel file containing all the groups, Anyone is allowed to post the new groups when the deadline for the previous groups has lapsed. Just copy paste two groups from the column with the pre-made witt links. This will need to happen because I will be away for a week without my laptop

I do my best with all the links but there's always a chance some are broken or a wrong version or bad audio quality. If a link is broken or you have a suggestion for a better link, please contact me or post the link in the thread.

People who didn't get around to nominating are also very much encouraged to participate during the voting rounds.

If someone wants to make a spotify list of all round 1 songs, they'd be very welcome to.

* Groups are drawn randomly in such a way that each group contains one 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th place each from last year's third round in addition to one 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place each from this year's first round.

* Officially we are NOT voting on the youtube/spotify link, but on the listed Artist + Title.
