6001/6096: Heats, Week 9

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 don't like the last on of both groups much, but otherwise this is a very good collection. Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts tends to be divisive. I love it though.

1. The Saints | Know Your Product - was a strong contender for my all-time list
2. Green Day | Minority - top 5 Green Day song for me
3. Bright Eyes | We Are Nowhere and It's Now - great album but this song falls outside my top 5 for the album
4. Mary J. Blige | My Life

1. Public Enemy | Can't Truss It - had at 896 on my all-time list
2. Bob Dylan | Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts - probably 7th favorite song off album - but still good enough for an all-time favorite album
3. Supergrass | Going Out
4. Ashford and Simpson | Solid - hasn't seemed to age well
