Previous results: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z9XbTKtVYq2-m0BRgLUCGeTW7RsPAV093-IFklnd7wY/

I ran this back in 2020 and it was a great time so it's happening again. See the full previous results here:

Before nominating let me clarify. When I say "villain songs, that can refer to any song about or by the villain of a movie/show/etc." Disney is particularly known for including them, but they exist everywhere. I actually got the idea after seeing the Academy Awards twitter post Envy Adams' song from Scott Pilgrim.

Songs from any type of media are valid as long as they're by or about a villain. Even regular songs not from visual media are eligible if they can arguably be considered to be about a villain. (ex. Charlie Daniels' "The Devil Went Down to Georgia").

Songs will be ranked based on three categories:
  1. Villainy - How evil/villainous the song is
  2. Characterization - How well the song embodies the character's personality/motivations/etc.
  3. Melody/Mood - For lack of a better term, how much I enjoyed listening to the song


Rankings will be ordered by the total of the three categories, with ties broken by personal preference.

Note: While I'll technically allow things like a boss theme from a video game, I would highly recommend against them, as instrumental songs are unlikely to do particuarly well at establishing things like characterization. There are contests and rankings for those literally all the time though, for what it's worth.

For now I'll allow four nominations per user. The only rule is that you can't nominate songs nominated in the last contest. Make sure to double check the Google sheet when nominating!

Last contest I did custom banners for each song in the contest, but unfortunately I think they were saved on my last computer which was trashed, and I haven't been able to recover them through cached pages. If anyone else knows another way to get them back, please let me know!

I still might try to do banners for this one as well, haven't decided yet.

By the way, planning to close this off at 100, or as close as I can get to it reasonably

and if you can include youtube links that's extremely helpful! Especially if you want to make sure it's a certain version or if it's something easily confused

This song is in two parts. I feel they should be ranked as one song but consider it two nominations if you prefer.

haven't checked it out yet, but assuming they basically flow into each other and aren't clearly two different songs, it's probably fine

was also surprised to see Myst 3: Exile on there lol. that was just Saavedro's theme, I guess?
