I guess I want to know in case I host another poll, what's the ideal rate to reveal the list? All Time Songs poll? Minimum 250, maximum 1000 songs ... please! :mrgreen: BleuPanda did the last songs poll, not to mention plenty of tournaments since then, so I don't want to put the pressure on him rig...

Correct, Nico was actually the one who placed it at #34. It’s a one letter difference, it’s to be expected.

I just discovered that the first 75 songs were actually already made into a playlist: http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/vi ... 809#p59807

Don't worry, your vote was accounted for in the results. It was simply a presentation error.

After last night's episode, I think we have a new addition to this list:

Sweepstakes Ron

I know I'm sworn to secrecy, but I can't let things get tense again (all of the tension happened when I was asleep last night), I'll confirm that there is no Limp Bizkit ahead. You won't have to break somethin' tonite.

Sweepstakes Ron

Next step: Spotify playlist?

Sweepstakes Ron

Unless Phoenix did a Smashing Pumpkins cover I'm unaware of, you gotta change their song title.

Sweepstakes Ron

Great list. I'll have to check some of these out soon.

Is there any particular reason you replaced "I Will Dare" with "Left of the Dial"?

StevieFan13 wrote:Just curious: how can an album not have top fans?

The way Notbrianeno's doing it, it means nobody put the album in their top 100.

Sweepstakes Ron

Notbrianeno, I inserted a formula in the spreadsheet that highlights when two point values are the same, and can confirm that XTC and Howlin' Wolf are NOT tied, just extremely close. There don't seem to be any instances of ties in the top 1000.

Sweepstakes Ron

I opened the playlist just now and it says there are actually 314 songs in it, though none of them are by Rammstein (who are, for the record, on Spotify US). Should we do anything more with this list?

Sweepstakes Ron

No Grimes on either list, but one of them manages to make room for "Baby"!? What is up with these Canooks?

Metro Area "Miura" was on this EP in 2001.

Do you two need additional help?

I think we could use another hand. You should send notbrianeno a PM.

It wasn't an add! Just fixing a mistake. I'm all done adding, I promise.

Don't worry, I caught the mistake the first time around. Though I'm sure there is a band out there whose name really is just "k".

Pete Seeger "We Shall Overcome" is listed as being in the National Recording Registry, but the Registry website lists the album rather than the song.

Absolutely. I don't know if Henrik will use it yet, but it's always good to have it.

Radio 4 "Dance to the Underground" was released as a single in 2001.

Why is Mistinguett "Mon Homme" listed as 1916? Everywhere seems to list it as having been first released in 1920.

Don't worry: submissions are public, so if you make a mistake, someone will catch it.

Again, I must point out that it credits "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" to Little Richard even though he never recorded that song. I'd assume they meant the Larry Williams recording and miscredited it, probably just because the title is similar to "Good Golly Miss Molly".

Sweepstakes Ron

This is already included.

Florence + The Machine's "You've Got the Love" was first released in 2008 as the B-side to "Dog Days Are Over" (it was the A-side of its own single in 2009).

Sweepstakes Ron

Some songs got on from the 2015 lists like "Blackstar" and "4 Degrees" and will benefit from more appearances in the 2016 lists. I imagine some songs like "Bad and Boujee" (ugh) and possibly "Redbone" will do the same when the 2017 EOY lists arrive.

Sweepstakes Ron

Henrik wrote:Here is another update of songs (maybe the last?) including a few Canadian and Metallica songs and all the songs chosen from the 2016 EOY spreadsheet.

Thanks, Henrik! But... did you mean to have "True Love Waits" in the spreadsheet twice?

Not a single Grimes song??? I am shocked an appalled.

Now, that's unexpected. Was the full album not being considered? Or do you just like it better split up into EPs?

So...today's the last day, right? How many hours until the deadline?

I've always had the impression that albums, as a medium, come a lot easier to most of you than they do to me. Still, I needed to bring in SOMETHING this year, so I reached into my gut an pulled out some albums that I love. Here's to a better list in 3 years. 1. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted...

I'm pretty sure the formula is supposed to include an extra set of parentheses.

100 - [square root(18.5*(Placement-1))]

Oh yeah, and I've got a little list coming at the last minute.

Sweepstakes Ron

No, but I found this: http://www.indiepedia.de/index.php?titl ... EON,_2008)

And that site may have even more.

#21 is the original live version of "untitled 03".

Jesus, THIS again? It's like there's some sort of conspiracy to get Henrik to delay the update even further.

Great list so far.

Dan, do you use any formulas to make the spreadsheet work, with the colors and such? If so, I'd greatly appreciate a blank version of the spreadsheet for personal use (not for this year's poll, sadly).

The National Recording Registry includes the 1938 NBC Symphony performance led by Arturo Toscanini. Does that count?

I was shocked and appalled at the lack of "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding", until I remembered that it's a Nick Lowe cover.
