Every year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awards the “Best Original Song” Oscar which is presented in the best Concert Halls or Gardens across the country. The songs that have won are, needless to say, an eclectic bunch. We want to find out which is the best, and to do that we need your help.

Listen to the short, ~30 second excerpt of each randomly selected Best Song winner (or, in the case of 2017, the nominees). Then, click the name of the song you think is better. Try not to judge them on the quality of the audio, as obviously contemporary recordings have a higher quality than earlier records, they don’t have the option of having the Holoplot immersive sound.
