Forgot about it, would have voted for it otherwise :(
I was specifically happy about One Beat by Sleater-Kinney. Not an obvious pick, but damn do I love it.

Fixed, the converter tool I use has problems when the song has the same name as the album. If I had time I would like to write one myself ... (so never). I can do a playlist for the ranks 2000 - 1 as soon as I get them as a list

All right, since nobody picked this up, but I wanted to listen to this list while going through it I made a playlist:



I worked a bit quickly on it so if someone noticed a mistake or prefers another version of a song please tell me. Songs that aren't on Spotify are not in the list yet. Only two now are absent:

Lou Christie | Paint America Love
Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares | Prituritse Planinata

If you have links to those (which you have if you actually have the song on your computer), I can put the in the list. Otherwise, I'm not going to arrange a playable version now, as that's something that costs me too much time already on the album playlist. Perhaps after the whole thing is done.

My vote was for the original version of Wolves, without the awful rap part. But the votes can stay together.

That's nuts that Hallelujah and Dog Days Are Over finished so low. I also thought that the many Nina Simone fans here might push Mississippi Goddam higher, but apparently not.

Unless I'm mistaken, it feels like a bunch of my personal faves might be yet to come (given relative placings, I expected The Great Beyond, Kiss Me, Yes, Tender, and The Rainbow Connection to show up already, but I have to wonder if some of them are yet to show up. Or maybe they finished really low).

Woo hoo! "Dance Apocalyptic"! I've got a fun video of myself dancing with my son when he was a baby to that song. Great to see support for "El Mañana" and "Impossible Soul", too!

As for Nina Simone, I really need to explore her more. I have a feeling the songs I included of hers on my list aren't that beloved by AM forumers, though.

I wonder if it weren't for Jeff Buckley, would Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah have finished higher, or lower? Did Buckley split the Hallelujah vote, or attract attention to the original?

I feel like I may have had Cohen, but there’s every chance the three versions split it so much for me I didn’t include it at all.

I'm loving the rollout so far, and I think it validates the idea of counting everyone's top 1000. It's amazing that songs with as many as 9 votes didn't make the top 1000. That is quite different from past lists, when many songs with just 2 votes would crack into the rankings.

Of all the songs so far (and there have been a ton of great songs that I voted for), I'm most surprised to see Blind Willie McTell so low.

Two of my top 10 choices close to each other. Once Upon a Time in the West failed last time if I remember correctly, so I'm glad to see it. Old and Wise was in the top 1000 for sure last time, though. It now has only 2 votes, though both very high.

Also happily surprised I'm not even the highest voter for Lana Del Rey's Ride. That one should be in the top 1000 next time.

The playlist is up to date again, by the way.

The low placement of New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down is the first thing I've seen that's really shocked me.

Big points for the Rob Paravonian reference. Sadly, you're right about Chameleon (great song though).

I'm a little surprised Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes topped out so low, but I'm pleased to see it here nonetheless.
