Re: AMF Best Songs of All Time, 2021 Edition, LIST THREAD!
Alright, everybody, time for the part that nobody likes: the waiting! As of right now, I am less than halfway done with adding lists. I am going to make no promises about when this is going to be completed, and it would be awesome if people didn't ask, because I am working on it! In order to maintain my sanity (and grades) I will be limiting myself to a healthy amount of list entering a day, which means it may take a while! I have 41 lists left to enter, so even at one list a day, it will be more than a month! I promise, promise, promise that I am sticking with it and working on it! Thank you for your patience!

In the meantime, I may get a head start on the video version. I could record audio clips for the songs from the top of the 2018 list, since it's most certain they will reappear (unfortunately, I can no longer access the files from my 2015 video).

Re: AMF Best Songs of All Time, 2021 Edition, LIST THREAD!
What’ll be really interesting is what the threshold will be for a song to even make the top 10,000. Last time, plenty of songs could squeeze through if they made at least three lists. Now I’m not so sure.

Re: AMF Best Songs of All Time, 2021 Edition, LIST THREAD!
Incidentally, two acclaimed Cardi B songs appear to have only received a single vote each. And "WAP" has failed to make anyone's list.

Aww, am I really the only one to like "I Like It"? I understand not loving "Bodak Yellow" or "WAP," but "I Like It" is one of the catchiest songs of the last few years.

Thanks I appreciate that! Yeah both metal and hip hop would’ve gotten a big boost from my list, I’m still working on it so hopefully over the next month or so I can finish it and just share it on here for the hell of it.mileswide wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 11:01 pmWould've liked to have seen a list from you FL, I feel you would've redressed the lack of metal in the final standings, not to say you wouldn't have had a ballot rich in eclecticismFrankLotion wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 12:50 am “I Like It” would’ve definitely been on my list, unfortunately I just couldn’t find the time to finish the list in general.

Re: AMF Best Songs of All Time, 2021 Edition, LIST THREAD!
Holden, I made a little correction on my list. No change, but I accidentally called Whole Lotta Rosie by AC/DC Whole Lotta Woman. An easy mistake to make if you know the song, but I fixed it in case you accidentally counted it as a vote for a non-existing song.
Re: AMF Best Songs of All Time, 2021 Edition, LIST THREAD!
Thanks for letting me know about that! I can’t remember if I did your list yet but I’ll certainly make sure it’s correct.

Now here's a question: since the deadline has passed but the results haven't finished being tabulated yet, does Hymie's submission get to remain in the aggregate?

I'd think that a deleted list would need to have been made in bad faith, which it wasn't; or the forum poster would have to be revolting to the absolute extreme, far past being annoying.

I for one think the list should be removed. he's not a member of this forum so why should we sully the poll results with his ballot?
Re: AMF Best Songs of All Time, 2021 Edition, LIST THREAD!
I see no reason not to include the list. Historically we've had polls where users could email their lists, so not being a member of the forum isn't really a dealbreaker in my opinion. Plus his musical taste is rather different than your typical voter, so it adds to the diversity of the final list.

Under, like, an alternate timeline scenario, imagine the results were already rolling out on the 16th; and then we would have had to stop just to take the list out and blot out his name.

Re: AMF Best Songs of All Time, 2021 Edition, LIST THREAD!
After going through a lot of the individual lists again, I have a few observations:
- A few songs that seem to be headed for their best ever placements include Sinnerman, Kate Bush's big two, Rebellion (Lies), and White Rabbit
- All My Friends had a ridiculous number of top ten placements, and it wouldn't surprise me if it made their top ten
- I don't like to say it, but Stairway really could be #1 overall this year...
- Compared to the norm, a lot of the lists seem to have the 80s-90s as their focal point rather than the classic rock era (though there are still plenty that revolve around the 60-70s). This isn't new, but I wonder if it will be noticeable in the results

Re: AMF Best Songs of All Time, 2021 Edition, LIST THREAD!
As a fan of the song I'm going to counter the first part of your sentence with:
Unless you are talking about Stairway from Martin Byron. Nothing wrong with that song, but I don't feel like it should be in the running for #1.
Re: AMF Best Songs of All Time, 2021 Edition, LIST THREAD!
I've added a counter to the first post on the thread, to show you how close I am to finishing. It lists how many more lists I need to add that I will update whenever I finish a list. Right now, I have completed 40 lists, so only 36 remain! Getting closer! I am going in order of post time, so I'll also include what list I am currently working on.

Re: AMF Best Songs of All Time, 2021 Edition, LIST THREAD!
I've finally finished the Spotify playlist of my song list. During the process I also took note of which songs I discovered through Biggest Fan:
55. Hedningarna | Pornopolka
174. Guiseppe Verdi | Nabucco, Act 3: Va, pensiero, sull’ali dorate [Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves]
300. Brainbox | Summertime
347. Johnny Cash | The Man Comes Around
413. Rose Elinor Dougall | Colour of Water
616. Sun City Girls | The Shining Path
794. Sweet | The Six Teens
868. Ananda Shankar | Dancing Drums
977. Gorillaz | Rhinestone Eyes
I actually expected more, though I might have overlooked some (two and a half years of familiarity later almost made me forget that The Six Teens came through this game for example). For the record, I did not count songs that appeared there, but I already knew beforehand, like Shark Smile. Though You Spin Me Round deserves a special mention, because I would never have considered it for my list if not for Biggest Fan.
All of these also now have a 9 or a 10 as my votes for Biggest Fan in case they hadn't yet. Yes, I can announce that here instead of in one of those topics as moderator of the game.

I am in no rush for the results, and hope you take your time to get the results to us so that the stress level for you stays tolerable.

8 more lists! But they are all 1000 in length, so it may still take a little while.
