Will someone please explain why we add the year for the songs we nominate?

It's a holdover from when the top ten began, and it was done for a couple of reasons. First just for accuracy, as we used to pay very close attention to details & accuracy, much more so than we do lately .

Also, we used to compile archives, where the winning songs were broken into decades. It made for interesting reading, for a while anyway. Then they became helpful for reasearch.

Also, to help with identification in putting the list together. Folks didn't always get their titles and/or artists right. The year helps there.

Now? It's force of habit.

Thanks for the replies on the years, everyone.

I didn't mind looking up and posting the years along with the songs I nominate but I was wondering why we do it, especially since I noticed a couple of posters don't add the year for the songs they nominate.

I didn't know about the decade archives of the past.

I only participated in the first few Top Tens when they first started and then I didn't play the game for years.

I guess those lists were compiled during that time.

I think we do it because Old 55 started this thread and seemed to want to make sure everything was perfect and complete.

Dappled used to run graphs of the decades for a long while at this thread.

Some people didn't have the time to look up the years, I guess.
