Updated rules PostSun Dec 07, 2014 10:29 pm Week 44 (December 7, 2014 - December 14, 2014) New rules for nominations were also established this week, and are planned as long as the EOY song spreadsheet for the year is updated. 1. Songs from new albums on the Megacritic chart 2. Nominations, one per ...

Original rules at least 1 update to follow ... PostSun Feb 02, 2014 8:30 pm Current rules: It is a weekly chart of 20 songs, where each voter can vote for up to 5 songs. The top 10 songs (based on the results) will move on to the next week, together with 10 new songs. For ties at 10th place, songs w...

Also per rules

The most recommended songs from the latest MegaCritic come first I think (but I might be wrong).

Ok maybe not angel Olsen 1st. Though if it is MCC not otherwise nominated (which it may not be but it's what I have in my head) then not sure how they can come before nominations.

Then Angel Olsen - "Sister" as 3 nominations...

So this week appeared Stone Roses through to hall of fame (others close so good reason to continue with week 33) The 2 on 5 votes I make 10= so the other 10 with 5 or more votes (I.e. excluding Stone Roses) go through....

JohnnyBGoode

Thanks for taking this on. Not sure what you know it don't, but audio to help others here's my (not necessarily complete or correct) understanding of the rules. Think it's top 10 and ties go through, unless track(s) reaching 10 weeks move to hall of fame. Not sure if it's been next 10 excluding hall...

Grandaddy - Way We Won't

BTW Listening to 'My Woman'. Great album.

JohnnyBGoode

Take your time Otis. Appreciate what you do each fortnight. If any of you really can't wait, there are other ways to get more regular updates. Metacritic and http://www.albumoftheyear.org are simple averages, the merits or otherwise I'm sure have been debated elsewhere on here. I prefer anydecentmus...

Does Mr Paul Gadd (aka Glitter) have to be added? (Though I see he's on already). Any chance of a blanket ban for certain offences?

Teenage Fanclub – “I’m In Love”

JohnnyBGoode

Well I'm over 40 (just) for one

JohnnyBGoode

OK but no-one is going to list 'The The' as 'The' (uncertain smilie

)

JohnnyBGoode

I noticed an few bands missing the word 'The'. Most are recognisable e.g. '[The] National' but just thought I should explain that the band I voted for listed as 'The' in line 801 of the spreadsheet should say 'The The'

JohnnyBGoode

Yes thanks JimmyJazz

Thom Yorke musical genius but the only man who looks better with 5 heads.

Songs from Ireland, Scotland and Wales

Wilco - If I ever was a child

JohnnyBGoode

Yep, what Dexter said. It's great that some haven't been offended, but others who haven't replied probably have. There's 2 types of music: music you like and music you don't and even both of those change over time. As some have said music should unite, not cause even more division.

JohnnyBGoode

You could just Imagine what Lennon looks like.

JohnnyBGoode

Thanks Jimmy & Dexter

2 added in Dexter's revised list but only one act dropped out. Maybe issue with Jimmy's original list where there are 2 @ 378= then jumps to 381. Was there meant to be a 3rd at 378? Maybe this was discussed already and just missed it.

Also nothing wrong with Tay Tay.

Looks like everyone's top 15 @491=

Wish I'd put myself at 15 now.

SVE just missed my list.

It is possible to discover non- 'mainstream' acts elsewhere. It is also OK to like 'mainstream' acts.

JohnnyBGoode

I reckon Reckoner (only once outside the top 3) is going to come out on top. All the other tracks that have come top have also come in the bottom 2 (Nude, 15 Step & Jigsaws all last, Weird Fishes 2nd to last). I think that's testimony to the depth of quality.

To misquote no.100 last time (& transport them across the Atlantic) it may depend on "The State I Am In"

JohnnyBGoode

Dexter wrote: From the inputs gathered I think, except for half of the artists in the top 100, we're gonna have one unpredictable and entertaining roll-out.

You're assuming we've voted for the same 50 or so. I, for one, didn't vote for the 1/2 of the top 10.

JohnnyBGoode

Also, does anyone else have an artist they really love that they couldn't vote for? As you can probably tell by my Overlooked nominations, I really dig Kathleen Hanna, but neither Bikini Kill nor Le Tigre are anywhere near my top 100 artists on their own, though they easily place when combined.

... I hope we can skip the regular and lurker terms. My suggestion is to look at changes between 2013 and 2016 using only those who participated in both polls. Both the 2013 and 2016 results would then have to be reduced to the two-time voters, I don't know if this would be feasible. This would be ...

I nominated Rapunzel last week. I haven't had a chance to dig deeper yet, but I'll try & have a listen to 'Deep Six Textbook' later & second one of them.

If it was songs that feature David Bowie Reflektor would be my no.2 but that's definitely not a Bowie song. While a seismic change it's definitely still Arcade Fire with a big Murphy influence.
