Songs of the Year 2011 - Results Thread

Featured Replies

well, i put it at number 1 and you put it at 4 :)

 

anyway, the best thing about having only 14 voters is that your highest voted stuff will place without a doubt

 

good list so far

I wish there was a better method of tallying up the results. It doesn't seem right to me that one song might be ranked above another just because it got more mentions. For example, the #23 song Ordinary Things had an average position of 2.5. Yet it still finished behind a song like Surgeon, only because the latter received more votes.

 

I'll be the first to let you know if I come up with an alternate method :awesome:

 

I could have used a more weighted points system (like this one), but I did that before for the albums of the decade, and it didn't make a huge difference. The ones with the most votes still tended to have the highest scores.

Thanks to everyone who participated!

OMG Rebeccaaa! Gurl, for you I'd bleed myself dry... :dazzled:

 

Thanks for organizing this, but does the #1 song have only 6 votes? :sick: Maybe the voting should have lasted longer...

I have not participated in the voting, but was interested in the result anyway.

 

Thank you, Evil Cat - You have done a wonderful job, and it has been time-consuming.

 

You should be considered as a candidate for February's member of the month (together with Joana for her Project 2012)..

 

Here is to you: :vuvuzela: :vuvuzela:

BON BON. :awesome: :wacky:

There were only around 15 voters so... :\

Thanks for putting in all this work Kelsie! :nice: I agree with a lot of the positions of the songs that made it. :wacko: (obv Friday is the best song of the year hands down)

Three Bon Iver songs in the top 10? Really? :sleeping:

 

Have to say I'm surprised that a Coldplay song didn't chart higher. Especially since this is a Coldplay forum :lol:

Bon Iver is OK, but the Holocene snoozefest is not the 2011 #1 for me, no way, no how... :no: But I haven't voted so I'll shut my face. :escaping:

 

Even more retarded is when someone doesn't list Coldplay as one of their top 5 bands. WTF are you doing here then?

Tastes change, you know.

 

A lot of people were coldplay fans when they joined, but have discovered other music that they like more. There's no rule that says you have to leave this forum once you've grown out of coldplay. A lot of people stay because they've made friends here and there are good non-coldplay-related forums here like the WoM and Lounge.

very true. and just because this forum is a coldplay forum doesn't mean we can't have unbiased opinions of music

Fair enough. Glad to see a lot of people evolving past that horrid pop band. :disappointed: :P

This somehow applies to me perfectly. :|

Yeah, too much Bon Iver..

 

Kinda wishing I voted in this...but I was too lazy.. But thanks for all of the work! It was interesting to see the results.

is it just me or are number 20-15 missing?

 

Yeah, sorry about that.

 

I've edited those songs in here.

Only two of the songs on my list made the top ten. I feel so alt.
