Levis Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hola SF folks, We've been given a brilliant idea. Perhaps the name of this thread is a clue as to what this idea is. If not, here are the details: Personal Top Tens will be based on a list of songs submitted by one regular SFer. This list can be compiled by the SFer on their own or the TTT (Top Ten Team) can pick out their last fifty unique nominations in the regular tens. Then the rest of us put the songs to a vote and at the end of it what do we have? [hint: title of thread] Brilliant idea, no? You can thank S2V for bringing it up Now then - who all are willing to take part? We'll make a list and randomly draw one person's name each time. By 'randomly' I do mean randomly - making use of a table of random numbers etc. I didn't do statistics in college for nothing. Take the Personal Tens as a kind of Special Top Ten. I say we alternate between the two. Suggestions to improve the concept are welcome. Who's in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'm in. Even if I don't totally understand. It's early yet and I'm not quite awake. everyone will get thrown into a pot, one (at a time) will get randomely picked, and everybody (else?) will then vote for the songs this person nominated in the normal Top Tens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Unless said person decides to compile a list on their own, which is also allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Are these songs the nominated songs that made it in the ten? or songs that didn't make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 all the nominations (or a selection of them), regardless of whether they made the Ten or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Cheez if it was all the songs that made it, some of us wouldn't have a very long list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Surely, for those of us that only make it into the top 10 very rarely, it stands to reason that those tracks that did make the Ten are the most popular tracks we've nominated? Contrariwise, some people who score Top-Tenners with alarming frequency (sometimes by dint of repeatedly moninating the world's most famous and popular artists) will present a long list of nominations that I won't give a tupenny-toss about. I may not take part those weeks. I'm not sure I get the concept: need a bit more clarification of how it'll work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is: wouldn't you get the same outcome by simply publishing a list of our Ten highest point-scorers? On that basis, the rather tawdry "9 to 5 (Morning Train)" risks being in my Top Ten, rather than the sublime "Time the Revelator" by Gillian Welch (which failed miserably to impress the SongFacts clientele, despite being by some stretch the classiest number I ever nominated). In that instance, I want no part of this Satanic scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viaene Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I don't think the outcome will be the same as the number of votes a lesser popular song gets highly depends on how many 'vote magnet songs' there were in that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dappled Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'm in! Sounds like fun One question though: What songs are eligible, every song I nominated including the ones others have nominated before I did or just the ones that originated from me?

Farin Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 when I nominate a song I almost NEVER know (or care) whether it's been nominated before but Suggestions to improve the concept are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'd rather we can pick the songs from the list of our nominations ourselves, if you don't want to compile a new one... so say if someone's got 70 nominations in total, you can choose your fifty favourites yourself, instead of having to go with the most recent ones.

blind-fitter Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Ok, it's coming together, I'm warming to the idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I like it too...it's a chance for songs that didn't make it, to get some recognition.....along with it being our Personal Top Ten.....great idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
