Welcome to the newest take on this topic series! Not surprisingly, Paranoid Android took advantage of a huge vote split and won yesterday.
Rules: - Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.). - Voting lasts 24 hours. A new topic will be put up every weekday and sometimes on weekends. - Please do not delete your post, but editing your vote is fine. A deleted post in the topic will invalidate your vote. - Feel free to nominate a band/artist! You may nominate a band once a topic, but only if you have voted. You may not nominate the same band more than once. The band with the most nominations (at least 2) will go next in line. - Discussion is encouraged, but please keep it civil and respect the tastes of other users. I know not everyone likes the same kinds of music but I will try to make accommodations. - Please vote for songs only found in Studio Albums, EPs, Singles, or other official recordings. I will not normally accept votes for any other songs. - Voting is done in the format of +3, +2, +1. I will explain further and give examples of how you can vote below:
You may choose to give points to up to 3 songs by the selected band or artist. The more songs you rank, the more points you can give!
For example, let's say that the the band to be ranked is Mouse Rat. If I were ranking my top 3, I would present them in this format:
+3 The Pit +2 5000 Candles in the Wind +1 Sex Hair
If another user only knew or wanted to rank 1 song from the band, he would vote in this manner:
+1 November
The users who have a better familiarity with the artist will have more influence than users who only know one song(how can you choose the best song if you only know 1?). That way, the best song (but not necessarily the most well known song) wins.
I'm hoping this works out well and we get balanced results. If it doesn't, I might consider handling the scoring another way.
Day 6 Results: Radiohead - 23 votes 17 Paranoid Android 12 Idioteque 12 Reckoner 7 Everything in Its Right Place 7 Karma Police 7 Street Spirit (Fade Out) 6 The Bends 5 Electioneering 5 Weird Fishes/Arpeggi 4 The National Anthem 4 Let Down 4 How to Disappear Completely 4 No Surprises
No other songs got more than 3 points.
I thought that Radiohead would get more votes on B8, so I was a little disappointed. On the plus side, 32 different songs were voted on, so a large portion of the catalogue was represented. Strangely enough, Creep was not voted for once. That's pretty cool.
Top 10 songs so far:
57 Bohemian Rhapsody 51 Don't Stop Me Now 46 Everlong 29 The Pretender 26 Ace of Spades 25 Under Pressure 25 Gimme Shelter 23 Paint It, Black 20 Killer Queen 17 Paranoid Android

One of the few rap artists I like, and the only one I've bought an album of. But I only listened to it like once, so I still have to go with only singles on this one. >_>
