Biggest Fan: The Top 100 (June 2020 Edition)

Post by Rob »

Welcome to the June 2020 Edition of Biggest Fan! We reached that elusive #500 now, which feels like a milestone!

What is Biggest Fan? That is a little game we play here, based on the All-Time Song Poll of last year. In that game, people could vote for their favorite songs of all time, up to a top 1000. Although a lot of songs got multiple votes, there were still a lot of songs that only managed to get one vote. The lonely tunes were then used for this Biggest Fan game, where each day there is a random song from that list is picked. People can than give them a grade and average rating of these votes will be revealed in this topic, ranked from lowest to highest. The plan is to update this top 100 every time we did another 100. People are still allowed to vote for songs that have already appeared here and can also change their votes, so list has the potential to remain dynamic.

To make the list, you now need a score of 6,557692308, which is not that much more than last edition's 6,408333333, but it that doesn't mean it becomes easier to make the list! Let's see who made the cut this time.

So, I blasted through the first 60 surprisingly fast. The reason is that there are little changes in the old entries, making my work suddenly a lot easier. I'll do the remaining 40 tomorrow! So stay tuned if you want to know who will come out on top: Florence + The Machine or Peter Brötzmann!

Re: Biggest Fan: The Top 100 (June 2020 Edition)

Post by Rob »

Some facts:

- The average song score this time is 5,883134758. Last time it was 5,859005838. So we go up, but barely.
- As per usual, there are many new entries near the top. Why this happens, I'm not sure, but whereas inevitably it becomes harder to enter the top 100 in general, the top 10 always seems to be a popular spot to land in, with three this time.
- In the previous edition, The Rolling Stones held the record of artist with the most songs in the top 100, with three. Alas, this time they only have one left. The record is now shared between Big Thief, Gorillaz and The Heavy, with two songs each. Gorillaz didn't have any songs in the top 100 last time.
- Prince remains the artist whose songs have appeared the most in this game, but like last time none of them made the top 100.
- Elliot Smith becomes the second artist to rise into the top 100, despite his song falling out last time. This is thanks to Nassim's perfect 10.
- What you really want to know: Hymie has 7 songs left in the list, still the most of anyone. That's down one. There appeared relatively few Hymie's during the last 100, it should be said. His arch nemesis Zombeels got 6 and so loses this round, although he did get a new entry in the Flaming Lips' song. In a shocking twist, Brad now ties with Zombeels, with also 6 songs! His two new entries also include the current number 2, outranking even Hymie's highest entry. Fasbjd and Krurze are slowly closing in on them, with 5 songs each. Beware!
- What you don't want to know: songs nominated by the estimable Rob. Look, now for the first time since the second update I had a song appear. This was your chance to pay your respects. Instead, that song ended up at #248... Quite a bit higher than my other two, but seriously. I sometimes wonder why I still run this game.
- At least I didn't nominate LMFAO's Yes, which has been dead last since the first edition. Will anybody ever be able to beat that one?

Thanks for the great presentation Rob.

I have hopes that "You're Still My Man" could challenge LMFAO for last place.

My guess is that if you ever include one of my many eligible Todd Rundgren songs into play, such a song could compete for last place as well :-)

Since, I haven't been following these threads so closely for the past year or so, I would appreciate it if you could provide a spread sheet that includes the sequential numbers of the songs, e.g., 441 for Peter Gabriel's "Red Rain." I'm not sure if this would help anyone else.

Cheers!!

How many have I got left? By my count, I've had eleven show up so far. Surprised "Handlebars" finished lowest of any of them. Equally surprised by how many songs I'd have sworn back and forth were on my list turned out to be on someone else's list.

If there is a spreadsheet out there with all of the songs, their rankings, and the users whose lists they are from, I'd love to create a ranking, see who is the favorite on average (likely Hymie, with five in the top 100).

Great stuff Rob!

Minor point - that Deep Purple pic is the wrong lineup for "Burn" - looks like you got Gillan/Glover where it should be Coverdale/Hughes (only pointing this out because I'm a big Glenn Hughes fan, and I feel his backing vocals help make the song)!

Still, nicely done... really enjoy the daily listen!

Thanks for keeping this going Rob.

It will be fascinating to see what this chart looks like after some of these get disqualified by next years AT songs poll.

I average a 5.9 based on this list - a half point less than it would be if it weren't for my brief high school LMFAO period. Some sins of the past haunt us forever.

I didn't have a specific list, as I personally don't think it is too interesting, but I made one. See attachment "Biggest Fan - In order of appearance below".

I've added the starting list to this post. See "Biggest Fan (1)" I think that is what you are looking for?

Too many! 206. That's quite a good amount, though nothing compared to Hymie who still has 731 left.

Fixed this!... I think. I'm not an expert on how the members of Deep Purple look. Though I already noticed yesterday they have some of the least imaginative pictures of the era. Very few that deviate from simple group shots.

Out of sheer curiosity, I went and checked which songs from my list were on the Biggest Fan sheet and cross-referenced it with the original list, and I found some interesting stuff. These are the songs I was really surprised only showed up on my list:
Sinead O'Connor | Mandinka
Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony | Tha Crossroads
10,000 Maniacs | Because the Night (I guess most people default to Patti or Bruce)
Marley Marl | The Symphony
The Smiths | You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby (I don't think this one is even on AM)
Courtney Barnett | Elevator Operator
Kenny Loggins | Footloose
Christine and the Queens | Tilted
Biz Markie | Just a Friend
Jean Knight | Mr. Big Stuff
Cab Calloway | Minnie the Moocher (this is the one that surprised me the most - I thought this song was very famous!)
The First Edition | Just Dropped In (to See What Condition My Condition Was In)
Elvis Presley | (You're the) Devil in Disguise
The Passions | I'm in Love with a German Film Star
Snoop Dogg | Who Am I (What's My Name)
Amy Winehouse | He Can Only Hold Her
Sugababes | Freak Like Me
The Smiths | Sweet and Tender Hooligan
The King Cole Trio | Straighten Up and Fly Right
OK Go | Here It Goes Again
Albert King | Born Under a Bad Sign
Lizzo | Good as Hell (I guarantee if we waited a year I wouldn't have been the only one to vote for it)
Ladysmith Black Mambazo | Inkanyezi Nezazi
Prince | Money Don't Matter 2 Night (I definitely didn't expect to be one of the rare few to pick a Prince song that wasn't on Moonbeam's list)
Crowded House | Fall at Your Feet
Luico Dalla | Come e profondo il mare
Paramore | Misery Business
Thomas Dolby | She Blinded Me with Science

And these were the ones I was surprised didn't only show up on my list:
R.E.M. | The Great Beyond
McAlmont and Butler | Yes
Sleater-Kinney | Get Up (though we do have a fair few S-K fans on the forum)
Ol' Dirty Bastard | Shimmy Shimmy Ya
The Dead Milkmen | Punk Rock Girl
Sharon van Etten | Every Time the Sun Comes Up
Clipse | Grindin'
The Triffids | Wide Open Road
M.O.P. | Ante Up (Robbin Hoodz Theory)
Flight of the Conchords | Business Time
Elastica | Stutter
Elle King | Ex's and Oh's
Jungle | Busy Earnin'
Roots Manuva | Witness (1 Hope)
Shura | What's It Gonna Be?
Pennywise | Bro Hymn
Andrew W.K. | Party Hard
New Order | Shellshock
Dead Prez | Hip Hop
Sugar | Believe What You're Saying (Campfire Mix) (and this was the one I was most surprised made another person's list - I randomly found it on a Sugar B-sides compilation and somehow somebody else knows about it! Or they just voted for the original.)
Brenda Russell | Piano in the Dark
Nelly Furtado | Say It Right
Wall of Voodoo | Mexican Radio
The Fratellis | Baby Fratelli
Kungs vs. Cookin' on 3 Burners | This Girl
Billy Joel | The Downeaster Alexa
Rodriguez | Cause


I'm not surprised that I wasn't the only one who voted for "Screenwriter's Blues" because I was hyping that song up like crazy.

Also, I'm going through all the songs to get ideas for my updated list. Just wanted to say: whoever put "Aina mun pitää" on their list is my new best friend and has my eternal respect.

On a general note, some Eurovision songs I found while scrolling besides that one (asterisk indicates it's mine):
Secret Garden | Nocturne*
Charlotte Nilsson | Take Me to Your Heaven
Amina | La dernier qui a parle...
Nicole | Ein bisschen Frieden
The Ark | The Worrying Kind
Salvador Sobral | Amar pelos dois*
Monica Zetterlund | En gång i Stockholm
Paul Mariat | Love is Blue [on a technicality - it competed at Eurovision as "L'amour est bleu" by Vicky Leandros]
Loreen | Euphoria
Jalisse | Fiumi di parole*

These three were all on my list, though the top two were in the 900s and might drop off next time around. (I had lots of songs by R.E.M. and The Fratellis ranked quite a bit higher, though.) I ranked Downeaster Alexa in the 300s, love it.

Good taste. I’ve had the good fortune to see Billy Joel live twice (I’m a New Yorker, what do you expect) and by sheer coincidence Itzhak Perlman was his special guest both times, and both times they did “Downeaster Alexa” together. It was amazing. The first time they also both did my favorite Billy Joel song, “And So It Goes.”
