If anything is unclear just ask and I'll elaborate further. =) Okay. Memories: What constitutes memories for you? The way I read that at first, it was how well you remember the song and what is brings you back to. But that doesn't make any sense if you have no memories of a song you're just hearing for the first time. It took me over a year to compile this list and there were several new songs that I had never heard that I listened to through certain events over the course of the year that I will now remember in the same manner. Basically the score allowed for the scoring of points up until the rankings were finalized. Or in simpler terms. New memories are just as valid as Old memories. Message: What if the song isn't sending a message? This also works as an interpretation score as well. It could come down to how I interpret what I perceive as a message as well. Obviously if I don't see a valid message it'll score low no matter what. Lyrics: What if the song has no lyrics? Another interpretation window here. Have you ever listened to an instrumental and heard the message? Gotta be open minded, but there are a number of songs that I can totally hear what the composer/s might be trying to say. Top 100 Bonus: What if the song has no accolades? The unfortunate thing here is it'd be screwed. This though, I put a lot of effort into ensuring that I spent an equal amount of time searching for those would be bonus points. It certainly isn't a perfect way to score since it's still going to fall to some interpretation of the sum of things I find. This is especially true where there is no Billboard ranking at all as that was not the only factor that could boost the bonus score. Leaning points: So you're saying...if you're really confident a song is a 6.9, it gets a higher ranking than if you're reluctantly giving it a 7.0? What if you're unconfident that you might be lowballing it? Not quite. I gave hard scores for each category. It'd either be a 4, 5 or 6 for example. If I wasn't sure about the 4 I'd give it a 4.1, if the 5 could be a 4 or a 6 I gave it a 5.2 and if I was confident about the 6 I'd give it a 6.3 Does that answer everything well enough? --- "Best read of the game goes to se7en.
