 Topic: The Insane ProgArchives Top Song List!!!!!
Posted: June 08 2008 at 11:39 |
Yes. It is the time.
Here's the refresher for all of you new to the list making. You all (and he means everyone) get to vote for all of your favorite songs by ranking them in order (DO NOT FREAK OUT, the actual order is minimally important in comparison to the fact that that particular song is on the list) on lists of length between 100 songs minimum and I'll take up to 500 songs maximum. The songs can be any song, I repeat, any song that has been released by an artist. The list is not restricted to prog only. I think we'd all like to see how diverse our tastes are so keep true to your musical favorites. For those of you out there who are thinking, "I can't possibly rank that many songs" you can. Now, composing a list of this magnitude may take a long period of time for all of us, so the due date as of now when voting will close is.... August 10th 2008.
Ok everyone. I'm looking for a better participation than my other lists, let's get too it. I know there are plenty of you who are just as excited as I am for this endeavor and we can do it together!
More rules:
Edits - Please inform me either on the thread or through PM of your edits to your list, which you can make at any time up to the due date. However, since these are huge lists we're dealing with, please keep edits to single replacement. For example, you forgot song A and you think it should be on your chart. Then you can ask to replace song A with song B and you can replace song B with a lower song and so on.
Snippits - I love these. Add them if you wish. They make the final presentation far nicer. Just add a few words about a song you like as to why you like it.
Order - I probably won't know every single song that is voted for so please keep your lists to this format:
Number Artist Song Title
Remember, this is a lot of work so don't put it off. I will be bumping this thread a lot to ensure it gets the attention it deserves. Are you ready? Am I ready?
Get to it!

OK - sounds like fun, but I gotta know how you are defining song. I mean is Tull's A Passion Play a song? Is Supper's Ready a song? How about Yes' Five Per Cent for Nothing?
Or in other words, does there have to be singing and does length or shortness count?
It wouldn't be a huge amount of work for me as I have my whole collection in a spreadsheet. Not ranked though.

I'll give you a list of five hundred and it's almost certain that the top hundred will all have one of eight different female singers singing them. back later to RIO the thread up

There does not have to be singing. It can be as long or as short as it can be. As far as those multi track songs go, you might as well make them one single entry rather than part 1/part 2. Exceptions can come up on a case by case basis, but songs like Thick as a Brick, A Passion Play, Karn Evil 9, etc. count as one song, but something like the suite on Abbey Road count as different song because they are different songs put together. Makes sense?

I did the albums earlier this year......

No one was interested.  I can publish the results if enough people care. Hopefully the response for this will be much better.

As much as Chaplinface yours-truly would just love to make a list, I'd hate to have to rank my favorites. It's like being asked which of your children you like the most.

My guess is the main problem was with peoples album selections...
But if you have the results tabulated it'd be cool to see. If you actually have to do work for it then ehh.

I don't. Too many broken rules to tabulate properly.

^There were some really strange ideas on symphonic some people posted their.
Will get to it, it shouldnt be too hard to pick out a list of really good songs but giving them even a vague order could be difficult. I like a challenge.
