I feel like in this specific instance, yes, that is valid, but I also feel like comparing other songs might yield different results. Maybe try comparing other highly ranked albums next to each other? I went through and applied the formula to the whole list, and this is the result. I don't see anyth...

Recently, one song that I didn't like at first and now love is i by Kendrick Lamar. I'm hoping I have the same eureka moment with the critics' favorite, Alright, but at this point I still think it's nowhere near i, or The Blacker the Berry, which immediately stood out back in 2015.

Songs that blew my mind on first listen: Thrice - Words in the Water FKA twigs - cellophane Those are the two that really stand out. I listened to them so much when they first came out. I wasn't alive when most of the AM top 50 came out, so it's different. A lot of them I vaguely remember having hea...

You should talk to Holden! I posted a bunch of NBA lists on one of his threads.

I'm curious to see the full polarization index if you have that readily available, Moonbeam.

Couldn't procure a full list from him, but he said that Messi is a clear #1 - that Ronaldo is the best finisher in the history of the game, but that Messi is a better all-around player. He thinks there's a sizable gap between Messi and Ronaldo, then another sizable gap before Pele and Maradona, abou...

I prefer the formula acroamor & Holden have been using. In my opinion, it's able to represent the tastes of this forum better when conducting these kind of polls.

Do you think Juice deserved to beat cellophane based on the votes listed above?

I find it very interesting that all the votes for "1000 gecs" were in the top ten. It's one of those things which show that it's an album you either really love or really hate

All top-5! I’m guessing most voters didn’t listen to it... I only heard the one acclaimed song, which I liked.

andyd1010

After the results of the 2019 songs poll, I wanted to have a broader discussion of the formulas used in ranking songs. First of all, I don't blame acroamor at all for the formula he chose. He did an awesome job with the rollout, and like I said before, it's a great list. I've mentioned the biggest m...

andyd1010

That’s awesome. Fitting first poll for you to run! She’s a deserving winner. I would choose a slightly steeper curve for EOY than EOD or all-time, since there’s likely to be a bigger difference between the top and bottom of a list with a smaller set of songs to choose from, but it’s always a debate ...

andyd1010

Nice job with the rollout, acroamor! This is a fantastic top 15. What was the formula used? In my prediction, the only thing I got wrong was overestimating my favorite (cellophane), but looking at the results here, I feel like it does deserve the rank I guessed! Four #1s and two #2s! 10 top-5s compa...

No songs with the bottom three deciles empty, but there are four instances with a lone wolf in those sections. New Year's Day - babydoll The Killing Moon - FrankLotion Sweet Child o' Mine - mileswide Once in a Lifetime - Moonbeam Explain yourselves! And the most polarizing song in the top 30 (at lea...

My prediction
1. Seventeen
2. bad guy
3. cellophane
4. Not
5. Juice

I'll be pumped if cellophane gets #2 though.

andyd1010

That last section was a huge step up from the previous two, in my opinion. As usual, I already like our list more than the critics' list.

Anyone have any thoughts on the album version of Borderline by Tame Impala, as opposed to last year's single? I like them both, but they're pretty different. The world would've still kept turning if it hadn't been remixed but I do prefer the album version by a matter of margins- even though the dru...

andyd1010

I think one of the three songs in the top 50 that didn't make it last time is Under Pressure. I built the 300-song playlist starting with the top 120 from the previous poll and was shocked when that one wasn't on it.

andyd1010

On a similar note, is there any difference between the "Art Mix" of My Name Is Dark on the album, compared to the single that came out in November? I didn't notice a difference on first listen.

Nice job acroamor! I'm surprised Everybody Here Hates You by Courtney Barnett got completely ignored. I like it better than anything on her last album. Also surprised that Drunk II didn't make the top 50.

I'm starting to prepare the songs rollout to begin tomorrow. I know both Toni and Moonbeam will be submitting album lists still - are either of y'all submitting songs lists? Or anyone else before I start finalizing things? I just bumped home with you up from 9 to 7 and kept everything else the same.

andyd1010

I'm guessing he won't feel like taking the time to make an extensive one, but maybe next week I could get a top 10 out of him.

Loving the presentation, Moonbeam - especially the graphs and quotes. The negative quote for Hallelujah is too good.

Not a commentary on your list, as I have almost no expertise in sports, but Lionel Messi so high will make a Big shakeup!

Alright, here's my first attempt at a list of the greatest athletes of all time. I haven't consulted anyone else's opinion on this yet, and it's hard to narrow it down to 100, so I have 118 at the moment. I wouldn't enter this one into your aggregation quite yet, since I think it could probably use ...

The AC/DC graph is hilarious. One person in the middle two sections. I also never thought when I joined this forum that I would be by far the biggest fan of a Smiths song! I used to hate The Smiths, but that song is so good. What really got me into it was an episode of Black Mirror called Hang the D...

When you are discussing greatest athletes, popularity is way down on the list of determining who is a greater athlete. Popularity just means .. you're popular. OK great that has nothing to do with an athletic skill. All I'm saying is that popularity tends to draw skilled athletes into the sport. Th...

What jumps out the most at first glance is Pele at 4 with Messi and Ronaldo absent entirely. Serena, Nadal, and Djokovic absent with other tennis players above them is questionable too (besides Federer - that's understandable).
