Issue would be defining the boundaries of the genre. Depending on how you count I have between 58 and 70 hip-hop songs in my list. I'd go with 60, that's excluding 2 non hip-hop Beastie Boys song, 2 Gnarls Barkley song, several DJ Shadow song (he claims he does abstract hip-hop but let's not count ...

There probably would be but hopefully to a lesser extent. I predict a top 5 finish for Nas if this ever happens.

I think sometime in the near future, we should do a "Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Songs" poll on the forum, given their overall lack of representation in the main songs poll. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the top songs aren't the same, because you'd likely only get more hardcore hip hop fans...

Looking through the spreadsheets, most of the songs I was the only vote for don't really surprise me, but one jumped off the page at me: "Prove It All Night". I guess I projected the forum's love of Bruce Springsteen and "Darkness on the Edge of Town" onto that song, which I view...

Here are the second group of pool round matches. Vote for the song you like more, not the artist. Also remember that this will only be open for 6 days, not 7, to allow for one day of changing lists for next week. Also you don't have to be in charge of a team to vote, anyone can!

Here are the standings after the first week of matches. Team owners have 24 hours (probably closer to 25 or 26) to PM me updates to their lists for the upcoming week.

I think another problem is with a list like this, one high vote and one or two votes in the 400s of other lists will likely get a song on the list. So if 30 voters each have a different Beatles song in their top 10, probably 28 of them will make the list.

I unfortunately won’t have enough time to start the actual countdown until later this evening, but let’s celebrate those songs that barely missed the cut.

Also, I'm not sure if it's acceptable to say the 20 songs that are remaining, so I put them in an unreadable font along with their 2012 rank for those interested.

60s: I honestly have no idea, I just know it will likely be #1. Could be Like a Rolling Stone, Gimme Shelter, A Day in the Life, either of the two Beach Boys songs left... 70s: Stairway to Heaven: the plunge of "Heroes", which finished in the top 5 last time, is baffling, but I think Zeppe...

You can PM me updated lists for next week with 7 songs (including this week's song) if you would like though. Yes, I'm going to do that, originally I only sent my Top 10s of two artists that I picked from the Top 10s I posted in a game that we did some years ago. But in order to send a list with so...

Sad to see the drops of "Heroin" and "Tomorrow Never Knows", but a huge jump from "Hallelujah" makes up for it.

Listyguy

Sorry Listyguy but I see you chose the #4 on the lists of my teams while you used the #2 of the others. Was it because I submitted a list of 10 and not 8? Sorry about that, but does it mean you are not going to use the Top 3s of my lists? Yes, I used your #4s because you gave me lists of ten. You c...

I originally thought "Midnight City" would be the highest new entry, but I forgot it was around for the previous poll. Glad to see it jump.

Also, did "Little Wing" ever show up? I don't remember seeing it and I doubt it will be this high.

Of all the Kanye songs, "Lost in the World"? Ahead of "All of the Lights"? I mean it's not a bad song but it might be the weakest track on MBDTF (that or "Devil in a New Dress").

Listyguy, I remember in the other cup the matches from "round of 32" on were arranged in a way that the most acclaimed artists were all in contiguous brackets, leading to possible combats like The Beatles vs The Rolling Stones or Dylan vs Bowie right in the round of 32. How will be the or...

You just decide the songs. You can choose to edit the song list weekly or set it once and leave it throughout.
