MaraGreenDay Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I hope they win! But they should be nominated for "Best Duo/Group of the Year" too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second favourite son Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I've split this into it's own topic since it's a pretty big piece of news! Definitely a deserved nomination, I'll be surprised if they don't win. 2 minutes ago, MaraGreenDay said: I hope they win! But they should be nominated for "Best Duo/Group of the Year" too Totally agree, but as a rock band it was always going to be hard for them.

It would be second on my list, with Bang Bang a clear 1st. It's just such a generic sounding RHCP song (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) and I find it a bit slow and boring, certainly compared to the pace and energy of Bang Bang.

Joe K Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 So where can we vote? Or is the winner chosen by some critics? And I just noticed this. "Nominees and winners were determined by iHeartMedia, Inc. based on industry data from Mediabase and BigChampagne, fan feedback and guidance from experts, including iHeartRadio programmers from multiple radio formats."

It looks like this category is decided by iHeart, and some of others are decided by 'social vote'. But the big ones are all decided by them - which is how it should be, otherwise it's literally just a popularity contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End Of The World Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Dark Necessities was very good. Bang Bang was epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Seagull Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The Sound of Silence is by far the best on this list and the rest are shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunt Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I seriously could get a hard on over the fact that twenty one pilots aren't nominated for best rock song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziebix Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I actually gasped when I saw them on the list earlier today. Then wondered who'd open the thread for this on GDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haushinka! Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Maybe it's just me, but judging from the nominations alone, it looks like they want to give it to Green Day. This list makes it seem like a no-brainer. Wow, I just realized they have an "Alt-Rock Song of the Year" AND a "Rock Song of the Year" category, and RHCP are nominated in both for the same song.

Amanda Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I don't understand why they would even consider a cover for Rock Song of the Year. It's about as silly as a band deciding to cover a Simon and Garfunkel song in the first place. You can't improve on the original, so leave it alone.

unextraordinarygirl Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Bang Bang is the only good song on that list IMO. Sorry but Dark Necessities sucks. All RHCP songs sound the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how a cover beats the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouncingoffthewallbja Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I think they have a great chance (the best chance, I think!) of winning it, but if it's a public vote, it'll just be a popularity contest like @Second favourite son pointed out earlier in the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great to hear!
