Conclusion: Is it common to have around 200-500 indvidual single vote songs? On a top 1000 list? Many single vote songs might just be "forgotten" to vote for or others must be explored. Songs from different cultures hide in the numbers as well. I see a big role for the "biggest fan" voting here. Maybe a focus could be "single vote" songs top 100 or 200 on individual lists etc.
My song list expanded from 200 last time to 1000 this time, so that explains why I only had 41 individual songs last time.

Nick, I almost wonder if you pick your votes out of the excel list of the previous poll? If not, than you are the representative AMF voter. (For songs anyway).

So, when we go from 2018 to 2021 either people start to discover single vote songs or the other way around, you start to vote for songs that others suggested three years earlier. Innaresting. Should have been real cool to see what happened between 2018 and 2021 in this regard.

Accomodating or adjusting?

I can't answer these questions, but it is also notable that this edition saw about 2000 unique picks more than last time. I don't remember if the increase of the amount of lists was also notably steep, but I don't think so.

Anyway, although this isn't completely off-topic I will make some sort of topic about the upcoming Biggest Fan Songs edition.

More than half (10 /19) of the voters for "Zombie" had it in their top 100. Great jump.

Also, "Black" is the forum's favorite Pearl Jam song?? That's not a transcribing error, right?

I had "Teen Age Riot" in my top 100 but I'm not in the Biggest Fans. Just want to make sure my vote was counted!

It's surprising, but not absurd. It did well on rock radio (it maybe even seemed more personal when it didn't get the music video treatment), and was maybe the highlight of their Unplugged show.

Black is very good but I think that Alive and Jeremy are better. Nice to see I am the biggest fan of Teen Age Riot. As a song so acclaimed I still feel like it's not acclaimed enough.

The title for Nothing Compares 2 U is missing and Free Bird has lyrics for Reach Out.

In Dutch radio's huge Top 2000 event Black is always the top Pearl Jam song. If I remember correctly Black wasn't even on the official AM list back when I first got here, or at least it was ranked very low. At that time I thought AM had the error. It's my favorite as well.

You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

Really happy with some of these jumps! I'm kinda shocked that Respect wasn't even in our top 50 last time!

Things about list that make Holden happy:
Classic rock falling away a bit to give way to pop and soul songs

Things about list that make Holden sad:
All songs post-2000 within the Top 100 have fallen. :(

The pictures are lovely to look at. I especially loved Arcade Fire, Stevie Wonder and Donna Summer (delighted with I Feel Love's big jump). Those 60s haircuts (or lack thereof of "cuts") are always just a bit hilarious! And oppositely, I never knew that Michael Stipe had hair!

Interesting to see Love Will Tear Us Apart take such a drop. And happy to see various Kate Bush songs with a nice jump.

After an excellent Top 1000 full of debuts and a satisfactory improvement over last year, I expected the Top 200 to be more traditional and without too many emotions

And that's how it went until it reached the Top 100...
Because in the top 100 there were significant changes when comparing this list with the 2018 edition.


The 80's increased its representation: Running Up that Hill, Like a Prayer, Fast Car, Tainted Love (All debuting in the Top 100) and Sweet Dreams returning to the 100.
Once In a Lifetime will peak in 2021 as well.
:romance-adore:

Love Will Tear Us Apart was the biggest disappointment. I was very surprised when I saw her photo outside of the Top 50 while looking at the list.
All My Friends also disappointed... I was sure this song would move up some positions, BUT :P :P :P

I Feel Love, Respect and Sinnerman also reached their Peak this year.
:obscene-drinkingcheers:

Enjoy de Silence
8-)
The peak achieved by Ashes to Ashes in the Top 200 of 2021 also made me happy.



Let the Top 20 come!!!
...With There Is a Light That Never Goes Out in the Top 10

Except Rebellion Lies that entered the top 100 ! Which is a shame because that should have happened to Wake Up, the best song of the album, not to the one I like the least...

I'm very happy about the Simon & Garfunkel songs all going up, including my #1 of course. I was just thinking today that many of their songs have a unique timelessness.
Very surprised about the drop of Love Will Tear Us Apart. Not one of the songs I expected to take a hit any time soon.
Perhaps a controversial opinion: I smiled when Change Gonna Come was one spot about What's Going On. Finally, one of the most poignant protest songs overtakes the most spineless protest song (at least until Waiting On the World to Change came along). The world makes a little bit of sense again.

All signs point to Gimme Chocolate!! by BABYMETAL taking the top spot! I can't wait to see this finally become a reality :music-guitarred:

"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" into the top 100 justifies this whole exercise!

I never thought I'd see a day when Waterloo Sunset and Love Will Tear Us Apart fell out of the top 50 of an AMF all-time poll. That's pretty sad. Both have placed in our top 10 before.

It's been a nice long climb for Kate Bush and Nina Simone to achieve these placements; well done!

I thought All My Friends was set for a top 20 or even top 10 placement from all the top 10s it made on the individual lists, that it fell from last time shocked me.

That reminds me that I think I placed "All My Friends" at number eight on my list, but I'm not listed in the biggest fans section. Holden-- just wanted to make sure my vote was counted there.

I have not personally responded to every mistake in the rollout mentioned, but they have all been fixed, and so far have all been cosmetic, with no mistakes being made on the spreadsheet jsut in transposition. Keep pointing them out if you noticed them!

Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back

That's a nice top 20. Inevitably a bit more "classic" and filled with all the names that you'd expect to see, but i'm delighted to see Once in a Lifetime and There Is A Light That Never Goes Out enter that canon!

Thanks Holden! What a masterful rollout and so great to follow it in live time.

Thank you, Holden, for the rollout and spreadsheet! It's been a blast. Sad that my #1 (Born to Run) slipped a little, and my #2 (If I Can't Change Your Mind by Sugar) fell out of the 2000, but it's been a real fun time all the same.

Yes, that was great, Holden! Surprised to see two Beach Boys and two Bowies at the top. In case of Bowie even with another one than expected.

Like a Rolling Stone is perhaps not an exciting winner, but as it is a song that means a lot to me I'll never complain about it. Better than A Day in the Life, one of 5 songs from the top 20 I didn't vote for. The others being Good Vibrations, Billie Jean, Bohemian Rhapsody and Superstition. Of those only Superstition was in consideration for my list.

Also relieved to see Stairway to Heaven survive the classic rock massacre relatively unscathed.

Seeing "Life On Mars?" as the top Bowie song was certainly a surprise!

Thanks for the hard work on this Holden!

I said this on the other thread too, but what "classic rock massacre"? Some classic rock songs were up, some were down, but overall I think we're pretty overweight on the genre compared to where the critical community at large is at. I just looked through the top 300 and was having trouble finding specific songs or artists that fell that drove this opinion.

I wasn't being too serious. It's mostly a reference to many classic rock songs taking tumbles at the bottom of the list, including quite some Led Zeppelin.

Sad to see, but who had Gimme Shelter missing the top 10 on their bingo card?

Loved the quick pace, and thanks for your hard work Holden!

Thanks and props to Holden for another tremendous job. His efforts are greatly appreciated!

Your presentation is very professional.

I appreciate your accuracy and your patience with my comments when they are off track, because my personal spreadsheet is not properly updated (by me).
