[Holden]

If people want to leave their predictions I can figure out who was the most accurate and declare a little competition after tomorrow.

[Holden]

All three of us (Jackson, me, and Henry) got 9 out of the Top 10 correct, with all of us assuming that What's Going On would be in the Top 10. However, each of thought that a different of the Top 10 would be excluded:
Jackson: Baba O'Riley
Holden: Wuthering Heights
Henry: Life on Mars?

Here's how many of the 11-20 we each got correct:
Jackson: 0
Holden: 3 (I Feel Love, Starman, Kashmir)
Henry: 2 (Bridge Over Trouble Water, Kashmir)

And finally, how far off we all were so far:
Jackson: 32 places off
Holden: 18 places off
Henry: 20 places off

[Henry]

Let's revise our top tens.

I want to make clear that Jackson and Henry are not the same person

01 | Bruce Springsteen | Born to Run
02 | David Bowie | "Heroes"
03 | Stevie Wonder | Superstition
04 | Led Zeppelin | Stairway to Heaven
05 | The Who | Baba O'Riley
06 | Queen | Bohemian Rhapsody
07 | The Clash | London Calling
08 | Kate Bush | Wuthering Heights
09 | Bob Dylan | Tangled Up in Blue
10 | David Bowie | Life on Mars?

[Jackson]

I had What's Going On up at #3 because I figured it would benefit from the ranked choice benefit, as who doesn't like that song? Let me recut my top ten after I got crushed on my 11-20 picks!

1. David Bowie | "Heroes"
2. Bruce Springsteen | Born to Run
3. The Clash | London Calling
4. Stevie Wonder | Superstition
5. Led Zeppelin | Stairway to Heaven
6. Queen | Bohemian Rhapsody
7. David Bowie | Life on Mars?
8. Bob Dylan | Tangled Up in Blue
9. Kate Bush | Wuthering Heights
10. The Who | Baba O'Riley

[Holden]

Here's my new and revised positioning:

01 | Bruce Springsteen | Born to Run
02 | David Bowie | "Heroes"
03 | Led Zeppelin | Stairway to Heaven
04 | Stevie Wonder | Superstition
05 | Queen | Bohemian Rhapsody
06 | The Clash | London Calling
07 | David Bowie | Life on Mars?
08 | Bob Dylan | Tangled Up in Blue
09 | Kate Bush | Wuthering Heights
10 | The Who | Baba O'Riley

[StevieFan13]

Mildly disappointed with an all-dude top 5

[Listyguy]

Mildly disappointed with an all-dude top 5

"Wuthering Heights" was #1 for a while, but fell off considerably at the end.

[Holden]

Mildly disappointed with an all-dude top 5

Still better than the AM list, I Feel Love is the top song by a women in the 70s and it comes in at #11 of the decade.

[Jackson]

I should have stuck with my original hunch that Stairway and Bohemian Rhapsody would place below Tangled Up in Blue! That is a nice surprise for me but runs in contrast to all of our previous polls. I'm feeling very good about my pick of Heroes at #1 given Life on Mars exceeded expectations.

[Holden]

Alright, so, this little competition between me, Jackson, and Henry comes to an end:

Going off of our original lists of the Top 20, our total error is the following:
Jackson: 54 off
Holden: 54 off
Henry: 62 off

However, with our revised top Tens, here is the results:
Jackson: 26 off
Holden: 34 off
Henry: 38 off

[Holden]

I've put the remaining albums up on the top comment if anyone wants to do any speculation.

2. The Clash | London Calling
3. Bruce Springsteen | Born To Run

Surprised to see Cosmo's Factory here.

[Holden]

Surprised to see Cosmo's Factory here.

I was also surprised to see it in the Top 100 in our All-Time poll, so I guess its streak carried over.
