6001/6096: Heats, Week 5

Post by Bang Jan »

The way this game works is that you will be given two sets of four songs, your job is to rank each of the sets from best to worst. First place gets 4 points, second gets 3 etc.

The song with the most points in each set will advance to the semi-finals. If there is a tie for points, then the song with more first place votes will advance. If they are tied on first place votes as well, there will be a sudden death tiebreak. Also the six highest scoring non-winners in the heat stage (based off point per voter and then percentage of first place votes) will also advance to the semi-finals.

Feel free to ask any questions, deadline is next Wednesday at 15:00 UTC.

I mean, the title song to one of the best musicals ever? Probably going to end up on top of my list.

Only one truly great song here, Olympians. It comes in a particular weak line-up. Love Has No Pride strikes me as completely unremarkable, but that is preferable to a moralizing song obviously meant for children and a the title track to my least favorite movie of all time. The second group is all fine, without ever reaching great heights.

My two favourite songs by far are Rob’s #4s, and I used to think of ”Olympians” as one of the weirdest songs on AM - 10 minutes of totally unrewarding background noise. But I liked it a bit more now and it’s a surprising #2 in its heat.

Edit: Bang Jan’s #4s as well. Ouch.

But your #1s are my #1s! And, as happened two weeks ago but in reverse, I promise I had my votes prepared before reading yours. "Grease" is one of my guiltiest pleasures (I could have put it on my list), in fact I play a cover of the song with my band on every gig we make.

Olympians is my favorite song in the 6001/6096 section, but I'll share the lack of enthusiasm for the rest of the group
