Hey all! Ive done a few VGM ranking topics, but Ive never done one for everything else, and theres a lot of non-VGM out there. Im not as well-versed in non-VGM as I am in VGM, so Id like to do a ranking topic to get some more exposure. Thats where you come in!
You can nominate up to four pieces of music. This can be rock, hip-hop, jazz, classical, country, film score, throat singing, yodeling, atonal noise, whatever! Here are some additional guidelines:
I havent quite decided how Im going to rank/rate the songs. For VGM I have a 0-10 scale with increments of .5, but I dont have that for non-VGM (which is an arbitrary decision, I know). I will very likely use a scale that includes how well a song holds my interest, how well I think it achieves what it intends to do, how much of a unique experience it is for me, and whether I keep thinking about it or listening to it again. I tend to have fairly broad taste in music and a very open mind, but here are some things I tend to like:
Things I tend to not like as much:
There are exceptions to everything I dont like, so if you want to take it as a challenge to find something I like that fits those negatives, feel free! One last thing: I dont really enjoy doing writeups for songs. Im not literate in even basic music theory, and describing things vaguely isnt fun for me. My writeups for this will be brief and will mostly be One thing I like about this song, and thats it. Dont expect big, detailed analysis, but I will attempt to be almost entirely positive, even with the bottom songs. That said, please nominate! I dont have a cap on total nominations Ill leave them open until everyone who wants to nominate has done so (within reasonable limits). Looking forward to hearing what you want to give me! ...
