domscientist Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an angel Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

nancyk58 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 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)..

Megalomania Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-para-parrotdies Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Three Bon Iver songs in the top 10? Really? :sleeping: Have to say I'm surprised that a Coldplay song didn't chart higher.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
