Thoughts on My Greatest Songs Project?

Post by andyd1010 »

Hi everyone,

I wanted to tell you guys about a massive project I have been working on for a few years. So far I’ve only shown it to Bruno here. I didn’t share it immediately because I didn’t want to seem like I was competing with Acclaimed Music. Henrik, I am sorry to hear about the adversity you have faced in recent years, and I wish you a speedy recovery. I have tremendous respect for what you’ve done, and I am excited to see the next update to the site, although I am happy to wait as well. My project will never compare to the undeniable statistical power of Acclaimed Music, but I still think it provides an intriguing perspective.

I stumbled upon Acclaimed Music on a Sporcle quiz of the top 200 songs. It struck me as the perfect starting point for finding great music, with sources from around the world, spanning all genres and time periods. But some of the placements really surprised me, so I wanted to try to emulate Acclaimed Music and see how my results compared.

I started with only all-time lists, but then recent songs were massively underrepresented, and even the highest-ranking ones were based on too little data to be reliable. So I added non-all-time lists with recent songs, and others that were noteworthy, such as the Pitchfork 500 (’77-’06). I included any list that I felt merited inclusion, even if it would be ineligible for AM. For instance, I included Bruno’s Top Songs and the results from all of the major AMF polls.

It took me forever to get every song from AM into a spreadsheet. Now that I did, I can add most lists fairly quickly, but it takes much longer for lists with lots of songs that aren’t already in the spreadsheet, so I tend to shy away from those unless I have a really compelling reason to add them. So far I have included 108 lists.

My latest idea is to add individual lists from regular AMF users. You guys tend to have better taste than the critics, in my opinion, so I think the poll results have bolstered my list, and individual lists would make it even better. I hope to have those results soon.

Since I was first exposed to Acclaimed Music with the top 200, I’ll start with my spreadsheet’s top 200 here.

Re: Thoughts on My Greatest Songs Project?

Post by andyd1010 »

Below are the lists I included. I used a formula very similar to the ones often used on AMF.

The number to the left is how much weight I gave the list, based on my perception of its quality and reputability. For the AMF decade polls, I weighed them proportionally to how many songs appeared in the all-time poll from each decade. I gave a small weight to all best-of-the-year lists.

I would be happy to get feedback on how much weight I assigned to the lists, since I’m sure some I could be compelled to change a lot of the numbers. I multiplied the initial points by that “weight” number.

The number on the right is the amount of songs I put in the spreadsheet for each list. I took the entire list for every unordered list, but for some ordered lists, I stopped at a certain point to preserve my sanity. For lists that have been updated, I often tacked the kicked-off songs to the end.

I didn’t include extremely long unordered lists or anything that I felt like wasn’t worth the time. I didn’t include genre-specific lists or lists that seemed too heavily focused on one genre or style. Also in general, when one source released tons of lists that overlapped with each other, I either merged them or chose the best one so as not to sway the data too much. I made an exception for AMF.

But I am sure I excluded some worthy lists, so I would be happy to hear arguments in favor of lists I neglected (or against ones I included).

Andyd1010, as I told you before, your project is very interesting and great!

Cool to see "modern classics" proving more and more their deserved spots in the history of music.

Looking forward to the top 500!

Thanks for using the Top Songs list.

I love this! Few questions:
- Can I send you a list?
- How should I send it?
- If so, how many songs should I include?

Also, I like seeing "Superstition" in the top 30 (if all goes well, I'll push it even higher).

I did not. Didn't realize until now that those songs weren't included in the main list! I will add it.

Added both of your lists, along with a couple dozen others. Still a dozen or two more to go.

I didn't see this thread until now... Great work andyd1010!

Would you be able to show a comparison between your list and AM? I'm really curious to see what songs that move up and down between our lists.

I have said many times that this forum has a better taste than most critics. In fact I have found several other ways than AM to get good recommendations for myself. But I still like to think that AM has a purpose and I don't think anyone else is doing the same thing, so that keeps me going.
Everyone you meet fights a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.

Yes for sure AM serves a purpose by compiling lists from critics only. And don't sell AM short as it relates to giving recommendations. Perhaps it's more like when you've prolly listened to most of the ranked albums, then for new recommendations you have to often go to other sources, but I think that's just normal.
I feel like that

Combined rankings of songs from AM and AMF (and a few others)

Post by andyd1010 »

As we eagerly await the top 500 in the AMF poll, which has been excellent so far, here is an update on my biggest music project.

I included the AM main page top 6,000, 63 individual AMF-user top-100 lists, the results of all the major AMF polls, dozens of critics lists and some others I found by knowledgeable people like you elsewhere on the Internet... In total, I combined 193 lists to get as good a sense as I could for what people - critics, musicians and fans alike - think of as the greatest songs. I'm much happier with this list than I was when I first posted it here last year. I'll update it again with the new AMF songs poll results, but for now, I hope you enjoy this list!

And please let me know if you have any criticisms or find anything surprising about it - in the past that led me to improve it. To the right I included the difference between the rank on my list and Acclaimed Music.
