Board 8 > Raetsel's fourth annual music ranking topic. [Nominations]

(+) Yeah! (+)

handsomeboy has nominated 11 songs totaling 0:44:28

Current Total: 523 songs, 35:28:08

Finished up through Snake's first post, putting us at 85 songs with preliminary scores.

Decided to put in a full day's worth of work, allowing me to get through the rest of Snake's nominations & Act V; 109 songs have a first reaction.

Going to be more difficult the next time I want to excise something

Correction: Wasn't that hard actually! Double-checking times and seeing one I was on the fence about (mostly because listening to everything the other day, the link was super quiet compared tp everything else), I think I'm now at 2:00:03 with this change!

Remove
The Grass Roots - Midnight Confessions (2:41)

Add
The Furies - Hunter (5:20)

One more week to change my mind on any of them. I have about 1:35:00 locked in completely at the very least, and nothing I'm as iffy on as I was for two of my, "I'm gonna nominate songs from all the Fast & Furious soundtracks," initial period of nominations. They just weren't stacking up, and only getting worse on repeats.

After those changes...

Mega Mana has nominated 35 songs totaling 2:00:03

Current Total: 524 songs, 35:34:24

Took yesterday off, back to doing stuff tonight. The rest of Iceman's nominations have first reactions & scores typed up, along with the first four from NFUN. (I'll get to Haste's noms when I get to post #36, which seems easier since all the links are gathered there anyway).

I look forward to seeing which of my noms I predict finishing in the bottom half of the list ends up top 10 this time around.

I'll update the nomination list tomorrow, as usual, thank you to everyone for participating.

I was hoping to get through the rest of NFUN's nominations tonight, but I'm hungry and need to go get a snack, so I'm taking a break earlier than expected. I'm currently through "Eternal Glacies", with a note that Persephone IPCC_3927 hasn't been posted yet & Darkness GP is Private, so I've had to skip them for the moment.

@Toxtricity , not really sure how close to the deadline you wanted a poke, but we're getting fairly close to January 18th. so... here's a poke with apologies if I'm poking you too soon or later than you'd have liked. If you (or anyone else) needs more time, let me know and I can give extensions. It's going to be quite a while before I finish the first listen of every song, so extra time for participants to finish their lists isn't an issue... I'd just like a bit of a heads-up from anyone who wants that extra time.

let's just change Persephone track to

Masata Kouda - With Faith and the Way of Justice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip-QUnlyJNo

and i already have a panzer dragoon song, so change Darkness to Zeko Battle 4
https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/racing-lagoon-original-soundtrack/1-31%2520Zeko%2520Battle%25204.mp3

After those changes...

NFUN has nominated 31 songs totaling 2:04:17

TheArkOfTurus has nominated 16 songs totaling 1:53:47

Current Total: 527 songs, 35:45:48

Some stuff came up and I had very little time to listen to anything... NFUN's two replacement songs and the next three in line (up through Through the Malachite Forest) have first reactions, which is as much as I can handle tonight, with apologies.

I should have 17 songs. (I think it's the Cynic song missing?)

TheArkOfTurus posted...

I should have 17 songs. (I think it's the Cynic song missing?)

Whoops, I did miss one of the songs, I'll add it next update. I also forgot to add handsomeboy's second set of songs, so I really slipped up tonight by trying to rush. Thanks for pointing it out.

Trying that update again:

handsomeboy has nominated 20 songs totaling 1:21:04

TheArkOfTurus has nominated 17 songs totaling 1:59:47

Current Total: 537 songs, 36:28:24

Missed the new Porcupine Tree song in my rush to make up for lost time, think my mind just kinda went "remove the Porcupine Tree song, add these non-Porcupine Tree songs" and just glazed over Trains entirely.

Haven't listened to anything yet today, might be taking another day off here. We'll see.

Finally attempting to finish up my nominations for you. I hope to be done soon!

damn i just realized it's been only like 350 days since i listened to the zektbach albums properly so they were eligible rip

Okay! Here you go, 24 songs. I loosely followed some of your "weaknesses" but a lot of this is me pitching things and seeing what sticks. You generally have an open mind in these topics, so I planned around that.

thanks for the poke! feel free to poke me again when we get closer. i've been drowning myself in various activities so it's been hard to be timely about things this month, but i still plan to at least send you SOMETHING

rwlh has nominated 24 songs totaling 1:59:19

Current Total: 560 songs, 38:23:13

Will listen to some songs later this evening, had to correct a few errors on my end and wanted to post the update while it's (presumably) accurate.

Sorry to mess with this again, but I just noticed it had already been done <_<.

Two seconds is a minor change, but I'm going to post an official record of it to make sure I don't forget that I already added the time to the relevant pages:

TheArkOfTurus has nominated 17 songs totaling 1:59:49

Current Total: 560 songs, 38:23:15

Listened to the rest of NFUN's nominations, then went back to the first few of Haste's--I'd initially forgot that around half of his nominations were only in the first post and it was only the ones with changed information/the one replaced song that were in the second, so... best to circle back to those before I forget them again and I'll just go through all of Haste's nominations (including the two posted separately later on) in the coming days.

I'm at 150 songs with First Reactions, so I'm taking another early break because that's just a nice milestone to leave things at.

I should make a list for this tonight.

I finished about 1:30 over the time limit if my math is correct. Hopefully this falls into the grace zone. Alternatively, there are a couple of pretty short songs I could just axe if that's preferred. But I like those songs enough to not remove them to try and meet the time limit more closely. <_<

This is my first time contributing to this topic. I don't consider my tastes too diverse, so hopefully we are compatible in what my baseline preferences are. I tried for a good mixture of longtime favorites and what I'm into now. Let me know if anything needs to be adjusted, altered, or anything else.

I think I have some time left but I won't add more stuff. I'm fine with this selection.

I'm impressed by the nominations! Saw so much stuff that's 10/10 for me.

Mega Mana posted...

Edit: Also, when exactly is the deadline?

Initial deadline would be whenever it's January 19th, 2022 in all time zones--I want to include the 18th and don't want to discriminate against people in time zones that are earlier than the continental United States, so if it's still plausibly before the end of January 18th somewhere in the world... sure.

Starting on the 19th, I remove the link to this topic from my sig & strongly encourage people to not remove or replace any nominations--anyone who has expressed any interest in nominating anything, either in topic or Private Message--has until I'm done with my first round of listening to everything to use any time they have remaining on further nominations; I'm not going to take a hard stance on cut-offs as, from my perspective, there's really not much difference between a song I'm not going to get around to listening to for quite a while being nominated right this second or quite a ways from now. I mean, I have literally hundreds of songs to get to before I'll get around to anything posted now anyway, so...

[It would be polite if such hypothetical late-nominators would offer some indication to how much extra time they might want or need, but I'm not really going to enforce anything on that end.]

...I doubt anyone who hasn't expressed interest within the past month will show up after the 19th, but I'll presumably accept anyone who asks nicely, on the grounds that I regret sticking to the cutoff date last year instead of just giving everyone who showed up the full amount of nominations.

So officially: nominations end when it becomes Wed. the 19th, but extensions are available until whenever I've already heard everything and need to begin the second Round of listenings.

Okay, so I have more than just the next four hours. Coolcoolcool

And with those updates added to the list:

hotdogturtle has nominated 14 songs totaling 1:03:15

ZaziGuado has nominated 27 songs totaling 2:01:14

I've decided to primarily expand upon other people's submissions that I thought were cool. If any of you are unhappy with the consequences of this, I can withdraw some of these, just let me know.

Thanks!

With those additions (and one change), we have finally surpassed last year's total of 631 songs! I was hoping we'd reach that milestone. Thank you all again.

We'll say the original deadline is 24 hours from this post--technically it's a bit under 22 hours until it's January 19th everywhere, but I couldn't be here two hours ago, so we'll just kinda fudge the numbers a bit. With extentions available for the foreseeable future, it's not much of a deadline, but still.

@Toxtricity last original day, though plenty of time before I get caught up and really need your noms. I'll poke you again when I'm about a week from being fully caught up on songs, but thought you might want one today.

NFUN, apparently you get to decide if Sergio nominated six songs or one long song; you can also decide if you want to keep your nom of that part of the song or replace it, since the whole thing is here now.

Figured I'd post this since I know you like to do lyric/story research for these topics - someone went through and did some really excellent in-depth song reads for all of the Dear Hunter's Acts and it seemed like it might be up your alley for when you're doing repeat listens and such later on.

I now present to you the booster pack of 52 music tracks ready to be ranked! Clocks in at exactly 2 hours 0 seconds on my count, but I've added times for each song (mainly to help me count up total time as I was compiling the list but also) if you need them for whatever reason. Considered reordering them into alphabetical order or of duration but I decided against it (you can also tell at which point I swapped out Very Noise once it already got nominated). I don't think any of these have gotten nominated this topic or past topic, but notify me if any have and I'll replace it.

Yes, it's all good--Time Calculator says your nominations clock in at 1:51:24, which is well under two hours and everything seems in order. Thank you very much! I'll work on posting a full nomination update later this evening.

originally this year my theme was going to be "music by artists in my top [x]* that haven't been nominated by anyone for your topic before"

(* x=however many artists down the list it takes until i reach song/time limit).

That included two artists where i wound up picking out something by them but others made a post including their music before i could make mine (bjork and kimihiro abe. surprised bjork was never nommed for you before until this topic!), i debated not including them because of that, but since prior to them being nommed by others i'd already come up with selections for them, i felt it would be wrong to exclude my choices for them. i was going to pick saori kobayashi too but never came up with a song choice for her, glad someone took care of that for me!

AANYWAYS i actually abandoned that concept too because also i realized i don't even know what my top favorite artists are anymore, it used to be pretty clear but my tastes have changed a lot. and then i thought of some stuff by artists i don't even typically rank that high but i just simply thought you would like and felt compelled to include. so now this is just "a list" i suppose. largely "stuff by artists in my top 30 or so who hadn't been nominated for your topics before", but really just a fun list of stuff i like or think you might like in the end. i hope you like it!

all in one playlist if anyone would like that convenience: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLliVxBMurmt711l2U-OyU-wfYjNcmFR9D

Awesome noms here. ATTWS is one of my favorite songs ever and I very nearly threw in something from Rabbit Hole myself.

ATTWS was my absolute favorite song for a couple years. Not as much into power metal anymore, but I still adore it.
