so, without much intro:
there is a need to find the favourite FB songs. and of course, this forum is the best place for poll on that matter. the system for voting is as follows:
pick 15 of your favourite FB songs - by favourite i mean the ones you like most. maybe because for emotional reasons, maybe because you think this are his "best" songs, or this must not be neglected in his catalouge, or it just comes to your mind, or for what reason ever. that's why it is a poll on the favourite songs - i know how difficult (or impossible) it is to rank the songs by "objective" (whatever that means) criteria.
next, you have 150 points to give away for your 15 songs. you must distribute this 150 points between the 15 songs. you can give 136 points for one song and 1 point for the other 14 songs, or 10 points to all songs, or whatever. the only 2 rules are: 15 songs and distribution of 150 points to them. oh, and the two other rules are: NO COVER SONGS. NO PIXIES SONGS, only FB songs.
i'm that strict here because i want to automatize the processing of the poll. i don't know how excatly yet how i will do it but it will work out. for the automatic processing thing, please hand in your votes in this thread as follows:
**** START ****
[song] points
[song] points
(and so on, 15 times overall)
**** END ****
it is important to put the song name between brackets [], and to leave at least one blank space (NO TABULATOR!!!) after the closing bracket. you will see how i will do it.
MOST IMPORTANT: NO DOUBLE POSTING !! in case you want to change your votes, please edit your post, but don't poste twice in this thread !! if you make some calculation error and your votes don't sume up to 150 exactly, it should be no problem.
please, no discussion on the voting system. its maybe silly but at least it is clear. just do it.
so, my votes are:
**** START ****

woa, thanks a bunch ! thats cool. i was going to evaluate it, but my free time is too short these days. interesting results, indeed. in particular no. 2, me thinks. one should just take the first 30 songs for a best-of double cd.

I think this should be a sticky with results edited into the first post maybe every month or so, so that everyone can change their minds (edit) every once in awhile as well as let new members join in. But that's just me. |

Hey two reelers...
Your data is being corrupted by the prolific nature of Senor FB. Some songs from Christmass are starting to appear (see mixedbizz above), while most of the responses came pre-Christamass. Thus people from now on are really answering a different question that those that answered before they got Christmass. I know the title is "Once and For All", but in reality it is a survey of the mood of the people in December 2006. How about you wrap it up and give us the results!
Thanks, I'm quite interested to see...

Man, I've been working on this off and on since it was posted. Brutal. So long Brackish Boy, Storage, and uh...um....dang....85 Weeks, I can't believe you didn't make it!
didn't plan it this way, but every "main" album is represented except BLD (and I have 2 from DW so maybe that makes up for it??). Also 2 each from FB&TC, SMYT and Pistolero.

I only post here cause it says "once and for all."
What if frankblack.net had a page where members log in and rank their top 10-20 songs and ranked the albums and the page published the results. Then if someone's mood changes they just log in again and change their selections and the results are updated immediately.
Then visitors can come by and see what the frankblack.net favorites. Hell, you can even spell it with a 'u' if you want.
Yea someone should put this together. Not it.

Very true. If I didn't find it so near impossible to choose, I'd participate.
