Topic	Raetsel and the Alts finish ranking 784 songs [+ Bonus Songs]
Raetsel_Lapin 02/25/23 5:10:30 PM #258:	For anyone wondering how long the main ranking took: Nominations started December 18th, 2021 and the winning song was officially declared on Feb. 17th, 2023. Just under 14 months. It's going to be a bit of an adjustment coming down from working on a project for so long. Perhaps thankfully, there's still a long way to go with post-topic music ranking; I'll try to go a bit more in-depth with commenting on things than past years, possibly even get a new spreadsheet going so everything can be (sorta) ranked. I'll definitely be taking my time with listening though, so... it's going to be a while. BlackDra90n & UF8 posted... You did it. [...] neat Indeed! Thank you. & Very neat, yes. Thank you. [Too many quotes, had to edit two of them together and these were the two shortest. Apologies.] TheArkOfTurus posted... I'll take this as a moral victory! Thanks for all the work you put into this, it was very fun to follow. As well you should! It was definitely in consideration until the very last moment. And thank you! Snake5555555555 posted... Excellent topic as usual! As I said you are a legend for doing these and I still stand by that. Thank you! handsomeboy2012 posted... Great topic will surely read through a few things again Really thought I could do better. Oh well Might post a couple more songs for the list Fingers crossed we will get another ranking topic some day! Thank you! If things are going well at the time, I might try something in early 2024? I have ideas for a scaled back topic (most likely limiting people to around 5 songs each), but that's a long way away. While it's limited to first impressions only, the post ranking is a mini-ranking of its own, so feel free to post anything you want. So long as you acknowledge that it might be a few months before I get around to any specific song. </.< Haste_2 posted... Holy Wilds is one of my favorites from Opoona. You mentioned low tones. I totally agree with that. The full sound really fills out with the majestic, mystical feeling it evokes. The perfect score you gave for it would have been a powerful motivator for me to get it into the next VGMC. The problem is that, well, it was rolled in BOST6, and it got nearly doubled by Small Two of Pieces. >.< I was bothered by how poorly that song did... I had a hard time keeping quiet, in spite of barely saying two words throughout the entire contest. I know my tastes are never compatible, but it was brutal to see what might have been the best song in the entire contest do so poorly. Also thank you! I'll add the other version of the Marching Song to the list.Mega_Mana posted... fuck elon musk Definitely. I find the song's version of Elon is so incredibly fictitious that I have no issues with the song, much in the way I don't feel compelled to judge actual George Washington as a person when listening to the tales of a giant radiation monster killing for fun. Though I do acknowledge why others wouldn't be able to. ZaziGuado posted... The lyrics are a lot of fun too, especially his mention of being in the lead in '95 when Weezer was at their all-time high in terms of critical success. Neat! I was mildly curious what happened in 95, but never tried looking anything up. It's like... the song was already winning, so there was no reason to look for further context. It couldn't exactly win harder, which is largely why it wasn't going to be part of that hypothetical second group of songs that were set aside for more in-depth research. I never even got around to looking up the Happy Days video, in spite of it being referenced and quoted directly. I feel like on any other song, I'd definitely look into that--be it for added context or just filling out space on the writeup--but... again, if it's already winning, why? [Of some interest is that the first topic's winner had a similar response, where I never made much of an attempt to find what the lyrics were. I loved the song and nothing could make me love it more.] Anyway, thank you! - I'll respond to Page 6 comments tomorrow. I'm starving and need to get something to eat; but before I go, official comments and scores for three of the songs UF8 posted, to officially start the post-ranking ranking. [..in the next post because I'm sure this one is already getting kinda large. And I'm out of quote blocks.] --- "Toothpaste is real and I hate everything in the world now."-MrCactuar <cite>Raetsel_Lapin posted [p:971803228] in Raetsel an...
