Board 8 > Glacier VGM Rankings [The Second One] [Nominations]

(+) Yeah! (+)

oh no not a fifth vgm ranking...

Welcome to my second ever VGM Ranking! Since it's been half a year since I did my first one, and my taste has changed a lot since then -- I figured I might as well do another. The first one also had NO PROPER SCORING MECHANISM. This one will.

The criteria are:

Impression - How much does it stay with me when I first play the track? A scale from 0 to 5, separated into fifths.

Burnoff - How much can the track's appeal last? A scale from 0 to 5, separated into fifths.

Appeal - Does it do any of my favorite musical 'ideas'? A scale from 0 to 5, separated into fifths.

Special - Personal bias, possibility for error. A scale from 0 to 5, separated into fifths.

Noms will end when I have decided that I have enough songs - let's go with 100 for now. Song nomination cap per person is 5.

Examples of my taste:

dumb things that happened while searching for nominations:
-original shortlist had a katana zero track and literally Glove-on Fight - Blue Blue Bandanna; cross-checking the siiva lists pays off sometimes
-in looking for sampled/hip hop beats, I started looking up stuff by 2 Mello which eventually led me to a certain soundtrack with the track 'Please Call the Police' and I was like 'wow this track is fun I should nominate it-- what other tracks does this game have' and, well, yeah

I'm just going to primarily nominate songs I like here, which means they probably won't do fantastically. Oh well.
