c_s_1987 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 [big]THE SECOND SONGFACTORS' CHOICE ULTIMATE TOP TEN - ROUND 2[/big] - No nominations are required, as the songs have been selected from our 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. - We have decided to restrict eligibility to vote to only those people who have nominated or voted in at least one of our Top Tens. We think that's fair ! - We realised it would be ridiculous to expect people to come up with a top ten from all 250 songs, so I have seeded the songs and split them into fair groups. - The results will be announced in about a week from the start date of this thread. - This is Group 2 of 5, and this group contains 50 songs. I will then combine the five top tens together to form a group, and then we will vote on these songs to form the Ultimate Top Ten. Group 2: Ace of Spades - Motörhead (1980) American Girl - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (1977) Baby Blue - Badfinger (1972) Beat Goes On, The - Sonny and Cher (1967) Be My Baby - The Ronettes (1963) Black Is Black - Los Bravos (1966) Brown Sugar - The Rolling Stones (1971) Candle In The Wind - Elton John (1973) Come Sail Away - Styx (1977) Come Together - The Beatles (1969) Conquistador - Procol Harum (1967) Crossroads - Cream (1968) Cry Like A Baby - The Box Tops (1968) Dear Mr. Fantasy - Traffic (1967) Do It Again - Steely Dan (1972) Do You Believe In Magic - The Lovin' Spoonful (1965) El Paso - Marty Robbins (1959) Enjoy The Silence - Depeche Mode (1990) For Your Love - The Yardbirds (1965) Fox On The Run - Sweet (1974) Happy Together - The Turtles (1967) Hello Goodbye - The Beatles (1967) Heroes - David Bowie (1977) High Hopes - Pink Floyd (1994) Hotel California - The Eagles (1976) I'm Not In Love - 10cc (1975) Let's Spend the Night Together - The Rolling Stones (1967) Lola - The Kinks (1970) More Than A Feeling - Boston (1976) My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) - Neil Young (1979) No Matter What - Badfinger (1970) Only The Good Die Young - Billy Joel (1977) Our House - Madness (1982) Rain Song, The - Led Zeppelin (1973) Raspberry Beret - Prince (1985) Refugee - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (1979) Sara Smile - Hall and Oates (1975) Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers (1999) Since I Don't Have You - The Skyliners (1959) Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana (1991) Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple (1972) Suffragette City - David Bowie (1972) Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2 (1983) Supersonic - Oasis (1994) Taxi - Harry Chapin (1972) Tempted - Squeeze (1981) Treat Her Like A Lady - Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose (1972) Truckin' - Grateful Dead (1970) Walk On The Wild Side - Lou Reed (1972) You Don't Have To Say You Love Me - Dusty Springfield (1966) [big]VOTE NOW![/big] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanAm Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 1. This was a brutally difficult selection. I think we should adopt Uncle Joe's suggestion and throw all the songs from this grouping which don't make it, into the pool of songs for Round 3. 1. Refugee - Tom Petty 2. Do It Again - Steely Dan 3. Do You Believe In Magic - The Lovin' Spoonful 4. Happy Together - The Turtles 5. Candle In The Wind - Elton John 6. Hotel California - The Eagles 7.

c_s_1987 Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Whichever ones don't make it should be thrown in as the next group from which to select. I think we should adopt Uncle Joe's suggestion and throw all the songs from this grouping which don't make it, into the pool of songs for Round 3. While I am sure some people do not like seeing the number of great songs that miss out on the Ultimate top tens, I believe this suggestion will make things more difficult for everyone, especially me. 50 songs definitely seems like enoough to choose from, and those that miss out in the group stages probably don't stand much of a chance of making the Ultimate Top Ten anyway. I am trying to make the Ultimate Top Ten as fair as possible without making things needlessly complicated, and personally I think this suggestion does make things a fair bit more complicated.

OLD 55 Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Chris went through and graded/seeded every one of 250 Songs and aportioned them mathematically into 5 Groups. He'll publish that list after THE second Ultimate Top Ten has been decided. I think that when everbody sees the way he's prepared it they'll understand why it has to be done on an elimination basis. Carry on Chris - you're a beauty. I couldn't even pass Advanced Maths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I absolutly agree! and as an answer to UncleJoe and CanAm, do you really think that it would be easier if you had to choose out of 90 songs, instead of 50 now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
