This week's polls (rank your preference for each set - your vote will change to your second choice if your first comes in last): Raetsel_Lapin's week Bring Me the Horizon - That's the Spirit vs. Dolly Parton - Real Love vs. Michael Jackson - Thriller BlueCrystalTear/darkx/neonreaper (sorted by artist) Taylor Swift - Fearless vs. Tool - 10,000 Days vs. Weird Al Yankovic - Straight Outta Lynwood Previous results can be seen here: https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks_Set_2 The rules: 1. Listen to the album in full 2. Rank every track on the album 3. For the results, there will be a curve at the top of each list; two additional points between #1 and #2, and one additional point for the next two ranks. This way, the songs that really stick out to someone get an edge that is not immediately negated by someone else putting it lower. In the case of Demon Days, someone's 15th track will get 1 point, 14th 2 points, 4th 12 points, 3rd 14 points, 2nd 16 points, and 1st 19 points. For albums with greater than 15 tracks, everything ranked below #15 will be given 0 points and the scale for the top 15 will be the same as a 15-track album. For albums with more than 20 tracks, you only have to list your top 15 (with 16-20, I still like having the average rank listed) 4. If you want to include comments for individual songs, I will compile them in the results 5. The results will be posted at the beginning of the next topic 6. The deadline to vote is Sunday, December 25 at 8:00 AM EST - though I have recently been leaving them up for longer, so just try to vote by that afternoon 7. You can sign up to be added to the user cycle (a new user will be added to the end of the current cycle as long as there are four weeks remaining) - the next person on the list will choose 3 albums which the other users will vote on for the next topic. 7a. To ensure people are being given an actual choice, the three nominated albums must be by different artists. You can otherwise stick to a similar sound or era. 7b. The tiebreaker for these polls will be whichever is listed first in the poll options - make sure to deliver the results in order of your own preference (which will hopefully have the added benefit of influencing people toward your first choice if they can't decide). 7c. I have added a tiered vote structure - the least popular album will be removed and its backup votes distributed to the other two entrants. 8. Starting with the next cycle, every four weeks will be a competitive week where those listed choose a single album to face off against others. Lindsey Stirling - Warmer in the Winter track list: 1. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy 2. You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch 3. Christmas C'mon 4. Carol of the Bells 5. Angels We Have Heard on High 6. I Saw Three Ships 7. Let It Snow 8. Warmer in the Winter 9. What Child Is This 10. All I Want for Christmas 11. Time to Fall in Love 12. Jingle Bell Rock 13.

Dolly Parton - Real Love > Bring Me the Horizon - That's the Spirit > Michael Jackson - Thriller Tool - 10,000 Days > Taylor Swift - Fearless > Weird Al Yankovic - Straight Outta Lynwood Dolly's the only one without any drama, so I'm throwing a vote that way. 10,000 Days is something that I actually considered myself as a mainstream compromise pick... but I always enjoy when one of Taylor's albums gets nominated & I'm intrigued enough by Weird Al that I honestly want all three to win. --- "Toothpaste is real and I hate everything in the world now."-MrCactuar ...

Oooh so in the versus weeks we'll still be ranking just one album, it's just going to be a versus of whose album gets chosen as opposed to one person giving three choices. I for some reason thought each person would give an album, everyone listened to those albums and then the 'best' would also be voted on. But that would be a significant uptick in work, so not sure why I thought that. --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Didn't Lindsey play Link in some little web video thing a while back?That sounds right. She's also played Misty from Pokmon in a cover of the original theme song, promoted Tales of Arise by performing a song from its soundtrack, made a music video that was inspired by Horizon Zero Dawn, has an Anime version of herself on the cover of Artemis, and... I'm sure there's more, but the point is she's one of us, and she's cute so it's hard to not like her. --- Come check out my movie watchthrough topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80167031 ...

First listen done. Not sure how I feel about this one, especially as someone not super big on Christmas music. I didn't realize we would still be covering All I Want for Christmas this week, even without Mariah! Thing is, that one, and Jingle Bell Rock, just make me want to hear the original. Silent Night is a beautiful song and I kinda don't need an overly theatrical version of it. On the other side, you've got holiday staples that are "gussied" up by being more upbeat/pop. It's just one of those things that annoys me sometimes, where modern artists feel the need to put their own "stank" on a classic. If you're trying to "make it your own" you better fucking make it, otherwise you just look like a fool. The best example of this are singers performing our national anthem; it's a beautiful, uplifting song, just sing the fucking thing! I'm being overly critical here. Obvious there's nothing here that's terrible. It's just a little bit easier to listen to an original sometimes because your mind isn't constantly doing the comparisons. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! ...

I get that Christmas music isn't everyone's thing, but that's precisely why I asked if you all were okay with me doing this in advance. Since I got support for the idea, I went through with it. (Again, I'd have never nominated Christmas albums any week outside of mid-December - I'm not cruel, and if people weren't in support of the idea, I'd have come up with a different theme) Also, Sean, that video is AMAZING. The pure nostalgia rush I got of doing that exact thing hundreds and hundreds of times as a kid....... (holy crap, the vid's from a decade ago now? Time sure flies, because then I haven't seen it in ages, and I'm sure I felt the same way back then) ~~~ I was fortunate to see Lindseys Christmas concert last year, and damn did she put on a show. The skill she has playing the violin while dancing or even upside-down doing acrobatics is absolutely insane, making for a spectacular show. I want to see a non-Christmas concert of hers sometime! But yeah, she loves her Christmas cheer, and that permeates an infectious energy throughout the album, which makes this a warm, happy jam on those cold, dark December days.

Tool - 10,000 Days > Weird Al Yankovic - Straight Outta Lynwood > Taylor Swift - Fearless I didn't actually vote in the other poll before it was stuffed, but I was leaning towards one of the first 2 (I just didn't decide on an order which is why I didn't vote). Ordinarily I wouldn't use popularity as a basis for voting (either for or against), but with Thriller being as big as it is, it kind of breaks my logic in that case, and it really feels like we should be giving a chance to anything else. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords.

There were some highlights to this album, I'll admit. The problem is the scant few original songs aren't among them. Those actually drag the album down further. If I were to attend a family Christmas gathering and had the chance to adds some songs to the playlist I really think I stop after the top two songs on here. The next three I'd opt for the original and the rest can burn. Silent Night - Despite my general disposition towards Christmas music this is truly beautiful. It almost feels like it's coming off a PS1 era FF game soundtrack. It's epic, it's bold, it has range that actually hits emotionally in ways the original can't, at least for me. This actually feels like a good memory relived. I wish she could have knocked every song out of the ballpark like this. I Saw Three Ships - I don't believe I've ever heard this before. It feels jaunty and has almost a Celtic feel to it. We had to lose songs like this to boomer xmas music? What Child is This? - Let's be honest, it's a bit of a stretch to say the song is an xmas song. Without the lyrics isn't it really Greensleeves? And with the way it's been reworked here it does not feel Christmassy at all. In fact, I'd expect this rendition of the song to show up (in pieces) in some epic LotR type film. You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch - I like this okay. Why is it that a song like this, despite its particular age, is not among the super common Xmas songs? I dunno, but I guess never hearing it more than a couple times a year has saved it for me. All I Want For Christmas - Good call making this instrumental only. Carol of the Bells - Intriguing intro. Then it becomes something relatively plain. I will say I think this is the best rendition of the song I've heard. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - This is an okay rendition of a Christmas song that I actually thought was already alright as-is, but as a result it may as well not exist. Time To Fall In Love - Dumb, repetitive, annoying, but not entirely repulsive... Christmas C'mon - Lindsey, c'mon. Oh boy, I hope this is the worst original on here... Warmer in Winter - This is in many ways everything about boomer Christmas music that I hate. Oh boy, would a song have to be awful to rank lower Angels We Have Heard on High - While I don't quite hate this version of the song, I hate what it represents to me. It represents a tradition of the church I was raised in (the same denomination as Lindsey). These are not good memories to me. Let it Snow - The epitome of the worst of Christmas music. I'd rather stab my eardrums and deafen myself than listen to this crap again. Jingle Bell Rock - Entirely repulsive. This is the boomer idea of "modernizing" Christmas music and it sounds like something Cthulhu would use to drive a person mad. Why didn't I stab myself in the ears after Let it Snow? --- "If you ever feel good about yourself, just look on the Internet." - Ryan Reynolds ... Copied to Clipboard!

Most of my thoughts are still the same as from my "first listen" post, so I won't rehash here. When I think about it, I'm not sure I could list another pure Christmas album I've heard, so this would be my favorite by default. Would I listen to this again next year? Sure, I think so!

13. You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch Arguably the best rendition of a bad song. 12. Silent Night What a dull rendition. This is one song that never needs to be showed down even further. 11. Angels We Have Heard On High A little too meandering for me. 10. Carol Of The Bells A Christmas song that's already great and didn't need this rendition, but it's competent enough. 9. Let It Snow I love big band instrumentation, so while the could of Frosty the Snowman didn't land, this was on its way to the top... but the "New York New York" ending legitimately almost ruined the whole song for me. 8. All I Want For Christmas A weird rendition that kind of reminds you actively that the original is better. 7. Time To Fall In Love Inoffensive but kind of a disappointment. 6. Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy Really fun, though with a lot more non-strings instruction than I expected (which will obviously continue through the album). 5. Warmer In The Winter Also a pleasant, cute little pop song. 4. Christmas C'mon Didn't expect a regular pop song but it worked pretty well. 3. Jingle Bell Rock Awesome rendition of a mid-high tier but overplayed song. 2. What Child Is This Love the mournfulness of this song and the medley choices. 1. I Saw Three Ships Wish every song on the album were like this awesome interpretation. Love the jig quality they gave this. --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness ...

Waiting for a response to know what poll to run next week - I might just start the next topic and post the poll later once I get a response (I messaged Steiner on time but did not receive a response and decided to check in about that and also message Snake this morning). I just wrapped up finally putting the Cyndi Lauper results together, but I'll share that in the next topic (sorry again) I really did not care for this album. There's not a single cover here I would choose over a more familiar version, and her electronic additions simply felt cheesy - which, I guess making Christmas music cheesier than usual is a feat in itself. If this is someone I'm apparently expected to know, listening to this album leaves me completely oblivious as to why. Carol of the Bells I Saw Three Ships Angels We Have Heard on High What Child Is This All I Want for Christmas Christmas C'mon Silent Night Let It Snow Warmer in the Winter Time to Fall in Love Jingle Bell Rock Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...

Christmas C'mon I Saw Three Ships Warmer in the Winter Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch Carol of the Bells All I Want for Christmas Jingle Bell Rock Angels We Have Heard on High Time to Fall in Love What Child Is This Let It Snow Silent Night Christmas C'mon is definitely a huge bop. The rest of the album is pretty great but hardly any I would name as superior versions of the songs however. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

I'll be skipping this ranking. I already don't like Lindsey Stirling and Christmas music is not gonna be the thing that makes me change my mind. I legitimately don't want to listen to this album. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC ... Copied to Clipboard!
