The Eighth Songfactors' Choice Ultimate Top Ten - Round 1

[MindCrime]

[big]ROUND 1[/big]

* No nominations are required, as the songs have been selected from our previous 25 top tens.

* Voting rules will be exactly the same as the normal top tens - rank your favourite songs in the list from 1-10, and 10 points will be given to your number 1 song, 9 for number 2 etc.

* It would be difficult to come up with a top ten from all 250 songs, so the songs have been seeded and split into fair groups.

* The results will be announced in about 7-10 days from the start date of this thread.

* This is Group 1 of 5, and this group contains 50 songs. The five 10s will then be merged together to form a group, and then we will vote on these songs to form the Ultimate Top Ten.

No nominations are required, as the songs have been selected from our previous 25 top tens.

So what you're saying is... choose the best 50 songs (in 5 voting segments) from TT 175 - 200 and anybody can vote.

[MindCrime]

Yeah, basically. I plagiarized that from Farin though, so he could answer your question better....
