I can take off my extra two nominations to let other people get some in.

I appreciate the offer, but its ok. I dont mind going a little over 100, which we still havent quite hit. Just so long as it doesnt wind up far over because sometimes I get burned out on ranking too much.

Specifically, my first thought was the part at around 3:43.

WHOOPS I am one of those latecomer who somehow missed the topic, I'll try to find some stuff

No problem, I figured there were a bunch of people who missed it.

Okay, so as a general announcement, Im going to go back to no more than 4 nominations per user now, but this will remain open for a little while longer for those who either havent submitted anything or havent done a full four yet. Anything submitted earlier today is in though.

I keep getting a different number every time I count at the moment because Im tired, but I think its at 97. So not quite there yet, but very close.

Once this hits 100, which will presumably be later today, I will not accept any more nominations from anyone who has already submitted at least four. But I might leave it open just a little longer, no more than a day, for any latecomers who missed the topic, to submit up to 4 nominations.

Yes

LIVE - T.B.D.

I havent listened to this band in years, but I remember this was far and away my favorite song by them. I had no idea what it stood for until your write-up. I had just assumed it was to be decided!

If it's okay to nominate stuff that's within 30 seconds, then I would like to replace Smash Mouth - All-Star with the following

Alanna82 posted...

Its like 5 and a half minutes so hopefully this counts)

Both are fine, thats close enough.

Im just trying to avoid stuff thats significantly over 5 minutes, since it takes a few watchthroughs of each video to score and discuss.

PumpkinCoach posted...

is 7 minutes in the ballpark of 5

Thats a bit longer than Im looking for, sorry.

Meg Myers - Running Up That Hill:

I imagine 4 seconds over is close enough to five minutes? Also, it is a cover song. I'l change if you have a problem with either of those things.

No problem on either

Ok, unless I missed something, were at 72 eligible nominations. Since this has been way slower than I expected, I will open this up to one additional nomination per user every 24 hours until it reaches 100 nominations. And well see how it goes.

Shiva

Hmmm

This has slowed down a lot, but Im going to hold off on adding any nominations for now, since the last time I did that with a nomination topic, I wound up with well over 100 noms. But Ill consider that if this doesnt pick up.

whoops the Gaga one is like 9 minutes, I'll change that later

Thanks, I hadnt gone through and checked every video yet.

Speaking of which, @Anagram , your video is over 9 minutes long. Sorry, but thats too long for what Im looking for. Feel free to replace it if you want.

Guess I should do an update. By my count, theres 71 nominations in so far, unless Im missing something. Let me know if I missed your nomination on the list.

I hate the 5 minute rule as I didn't notice it until just before posting my initial list, so all but one of my nominations had to be changed.

Its fine if its even in the ballpark. I just picked an arbitrary cutoff because I didnt want to get a lot of extremely long videos.

MetalmindStats posted...

Are official lyric videos allowed?

Yeah, I dont see why not. But I cant imagine a video scoring too well overall if its just lyrics.

Ive already done a song ranking topic once before, and Ive decided to try something a bit different by ranking music videos. Each user may nominate up to 4 videos, no longer than about five minutes each (please include a YouTube link). And they must be official music videos, not a fan created mash-up. To improve my chances of actually finishing this project, Im limiting this to 100 nominations.

Videos will be ranked based on five scoring criteria. Please keep them in mind when deciding what to nominate (unless youre shooting for that coveted last place spot).

1. Music: Im going to try to keep this factor as objective as possible by taking into account how complex, varied, and harmonious a song is. But some of my personal taste will probably creep in. Although Im pretty open-minded, I tend to dislike most metal, so nominate that genre at your own risk.

2. Story: I cant stress the importance of this factor enough. The video should tell an interesting story through the visuals, although it doesnt have to be spelled out. Some people are going to nominate videos where its just a band playing instruments and someone singing, and theyre going to get a low score in this factor. Dont be one of those people.

3. Appearance:I'll be scoring this factor based on the aesthetics of the video. Things like the quality of visual effects, the setting, direction, costumes, and so on.

4. Originality: With this factor, Im looking for videos that dont resemble tons of other videos and do something unique (at least for the time when the video was released).

5. Personal: Ill score this one based on how much I liked the video overall (visuals and music) on a purely personal level.

Finally, no promises as to how quickly, or if, Ill be able to get these rankings done, since I havent been feeling too great lately. But so long as this winds up being the fun diversion Im hoping it will be, Im eager to get to work on it.

Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly

The Simpsons Arcade Game was probably my favorite, closely followed by Turtles in Time.

One Jump Ahead - Aladdin

A variety of vocal samples taken out of context?

Those samples are from the great Bill Hicks, brilliant stand-up comedian.

Absolutely. Despite its flaws, its a really fun movie.

No

Oh and in Disney news theres a Rescue Rangers movie

Even with all those big announcements, this is my major takeaway.

U2 - Running to Stand Still

Thought of Jingle Bells, not sure thats my actual answer

Will take this moment to once again state my most ridiculous extreme stance that the bars should just stay closed permenantly and alcohol should be banned.

Surprised to learn Im not the only person in the world with this view as I always thought.

Nom: Dreams

U2 - Walk On

Id say Castle in the Sky is the best of the 3, but Totoro is also a great choice.

Cow

Yes, but mainly due to parodies by Jaboody Dubs.

Mr. Lif - Live from the Plantation

Even seeing the rough writeups would be neat.

I understand, but Im not crazy about doing that. I normally do plenty of editing and reading over write-ups before I post them, and many of my initial drafts are very rough (especially for around the part of the list where I skipped ahead). I was okay with putting in the work for the top of the list so this wasnt an abandoned project, but the rest of the list is a bit too much for me now.

Edit: Although now that I think about it, just posting all the rankings is probably going to result in plenty of questions about why I ranked X intro so low, and Ill effectively be doing write-ups to explain them anyway. So Ill have to give some thought what I want to do about the rankings I skipped over.

Hbthebattle posted...

Can we see what the full list would have been?

Ill have to do a little work to put it together because of the way my document is organized with rough write-ups after each entry, so probably not tonight. But I should be able to post that.
