andyd1010: The 500 most acclaimed songs (new and improved)

Post by andyd1010 »

As I explained here, I have attempted to amalgamate critics' rankings with other rankings I deemed valuable (largely AMF users' rankings). I'd like to think of this as a hybrid between the Critics and Audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. After adding over 150 lists to my spreadsheet, here are the rankings, starting with 500-401:

My Rank | Difference from AM rank | Song | Artist | Year

Good start. Don't know how Bryan Adams snuck in there (with all due respect to the Bryan Adams lovers on the forum).

Honestly, I think there were much better boy band songs from that era. Of course, this could just be me talking silly considering right now is the height of my obsession with 'N Sync's "I Want You Back". :music-listening:

Of course, I could get into big arguments about Backstreet vs. NSYNC but suffice to say both groups have their high points. Boy bands are really growing on me. My sister's gotten me into 1D and certain K-pop songs.

One Direction actually has decent songs? I mean, they're not bad, but their songs suck.

I wouldn't call them the new Beatles or anything, but they have a few I'd actually recommend. "Steal My Girl" is exactly the kind of cheesy, anthemic pop song I can get into in the right mindset (putting aside the unfortunate implications of saying a girl "belongs" to you), and for all its Who-aping, "Best Song Ever" is a real blast. Most of their big hits are stinkers, especially "Little Things" and "One Thing" (while we're talking about "I Want It That Way").

I refuse to believe Robbie Williams' "Angel" did better than this song. I refuse!

Seriously, how did Robbie Williams jump that high?

Angels appeared on Capital Gold Legends (at #5), Guinness World Records British Hit Singles, BBC Radio 2's 'Sold on Song, a Celebration of Great Songs and Songwriting,' it finished 3rd in this UK poll, Q's 100 Greatest Songs of All Time (#11), MaxTV's Greatest Songs of All Time, and MTV Australia Official All-Time Classics. That said, I much prefer Son of a Preacher Man, and although the aforementioned lists are not weighted very highly, perhaps I should lower them more, since a few extremely high rankings can skew the data.

It was not due to the forumers. It did well on the same sorts of lists that Angels did well on.

Oooohhhh, you're counting chart success in addition to critical acclaim. Honestly, that might net you mixed results if you're trying to do another list of acclaimed music.

It was not due to the forumers. It did well on the same sorts of lists that Angels did well on.
Oooohhhh, you're counting chart success in addition to critical acclaim. Honestly, that might net you mixed results if you're trying to do another list of acclaimed music.
I didn't mean to do that explicitly. I realize that some lists used chart success as a criterion, but as long as the main criterion seemed to be quality, I would consider it. This was the Guinness list. Most of those songs are acclaimed. But I'll admit I didn't fully vet it, so if those are all there exclusively (or at least overwhelmingly) because of chart success, then I'll exclude the list. ASCAP and BMI had similar lists that I initially used and later excluded when I realized they were just due to radio play.

No Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Eagles, Curtis Mayfield, Miles Davis, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Carole King, Pet Shop Boys, Pretenders, Jackson Browne, XTC or Todd Rundgren so far.

I doubt that many of these will have any entries in the top 50 either.

This is a really fun rollout, andyd1010! Thanks for doing this!

However, I do have to make note of this one issue. One point of data you're cataloguing is the difference between the rankings on your list and the AM ranking for all the songs. But none of these differences match up with reality. I'm checking AM and the math is just wrong. Are you getting some of these rankings from an old version of the site?

For example, the #100 song, The Byrd's "Mr. Tambourine Man", is listed as having a -45 point difference from its AM rank. But the actual AM rank of that song is #52, making it a -48 point difference in actuality.

Just figured I'd let you know in case you wanted to change it.

They don't all get shut out, actually...And I'll let you know the highest-ranking ones that didn't make it on the other ones afterwards.

Thank you! I based those numbers off of a newer version of the site, actually! Mr. Tambourine Man is #55 on the unofficial update, which is what I used for this.

26 | 36 | Hotel California | Eagles | 1976

There you go, Henry. So the Eagles made it at least (sorry StevieFan). And Curtis Mayfield kind of makes it if you count The Impressions' People Get Ready at 164.

Best of the others you mentioned:
Joni Mitchell - A Case of You (672)
Steely Dan - Reelin' in the Years (847)
Curtis Mayfield - Move on Up (522)
Miles Davis - So What (826)
Carole King - It's Too Late (1,122)
Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me (1,615)

Eagles 2nd song - Take It Easy (905)

I'm surprised that most of these didn't do better too.

I'm chill with Eagles being #26 when I keep in mind that Superstition is in the top 25.

Agreed. Both very similar to their AMF 2015 song poll rankings though. I was also amazed that B.O.B. cracked the top 100. You guys really love that song.

I'm right now editing my personal list. Next year we have the poll.

I hope they continue to take into account 500 songs.

However, I do have to make note of this one issue. One point of data you're cataloguing is the difference between the rankings on your list and the AM ranking for all the songs. But none of these differences match up with reality. I'm checking AM and the math is just wrong. Are you getting some of these rankings from an old version of the site?

For example, the #100 song, The Byrd's "Mr. Tambourine Man", is listed as having a -45 point difference from its AM rank. But the actual AM rank of that song is #52, making it a -48 point difference in actuality.

Just figured I'd let you know in case you wanted to change it.
Thank you! I based those numbers off of a newer version of the site, actually! Mr. Tambourine Man is #55 on the unofficial update, which is what I used for this.
Ahhh okay, I see what you were doing. Cool! Glad the numbers are accurate then!

Thanks Stevie.

...

I’m not sure what Henrik’s point allocation is, but if I extrapolate and say that it is exactly the same as mine, then here are the songs with the most points gained and lost compared to AM. I do know that he said Like a Rolling Stone and Smells Like Teen Spirit are virtually tied at the top, so that was the only thing I adjusted for. Since Like a Rolling Stone has a big lead on mine, there’s still a significant difference there.

Side note – Interestingly, Smells Like Teen Spirit was #1 on mine for the longest time, but around the same time it took over on AM, Like a Rolling Stone started pulling away on mine.

Rises:

Re: andyd1010: The 500 greatest songs of all time (full list out)

Artists with the most points. Some, like The Kingsmen, got there with just one or two high-rankings songs. Great artists like Leonard Cohen with a lot of mid-ranking songs just barely missed the top 100. So there is a better way to account for those things, but this will do for now:

Re: andyd1010: The 500 most acclaimed songs (new and improved)

Post by andyd1010 »

Hi everyone,

I have updated my project. I removed the derided lists that relied too heavily on popularity, causing songs like Angels and Everything I Do (I Do It for You) to skyrocket into the top 500. They are gone now. I also added some lists from Rate Your Music, and a few other lists.

Sure! Feel free to send it and I'll update it.

There were definitely some great songs that fell out. Say It Ain't So is one of my all-time favorites. Can't win 'em all.
