Tracking favorite songs

[StevieFan13]

Out of pure curiosity, I looked through the summary of lists to be added to see how some of my more obvious favorites are going to fare in the update, and besides that, I also wanted to see the battle royale between the current champion (Like a Rolling Stone) and the possible usurper (Smells Like Teen Spirit). Some of these were harder to track than others (the '90s songs could get a boost following the completion of Spectrum Culture's list), but this is what I found.

[StevieFan13]

Some other songs I'm thinking of doing this for (plus revisiting Like a Rolling Stone since I think I missed some '60s lists):
- M.I.A. - Paper Planes
- Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
- OutKast - B.O.B.
- Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees
- The Clash - London Calling
- Oasis - Wonderwall
- Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
- Beck - Loser
- The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony
- Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
- Daft Punk - Get Lucky
- David Bowie - Let's Dance
- Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Remember that, say, a 90s list will more change the order of the 90s songs than give them an overall boost, since songs from other decades were not eligible and therefore x'd out in the spreadsheets.

Noted. I have no idea how the precise system of list-adding works.

[StevieFan13]

Nirvana - 33, Dylan - 26, in case anyone was wondering. As of now, "Teen Spirit" looks like it might maintain its unofficial seat at the top (though, again, I have no idea how the list-adding system works).
