Hey everyone, figured it would probably be best to give this its own thread so as not to crowd the Alternative games thread. So this all stems from American Idiot 's suggestion of a game that he participates in at TuneLab. I took votes from 10 users, which resulted in 36 different artists being nominated. After all of the tabulation, shockingly the Foo Fighters came out on top. The basic premise is we pick an artist, then everyone submits their Top 10 favorite songs from that artist ranked in order, and after a week or so we'll be able to sort of tell what our favorite songs from that artist/group are after tallying up the points. I'll be filling in this post with more information/links if this becomes a regular thing, but for now let's just see how this goes.

I already had my list done since we did the Foos on Tunelab a month or so ago. I'm eager to see the results here as it's a very different crowd here than on there. I'm really glad we got this game going. Thanks Web for organizing this :)

Did this exact list a while back, but I'm sure the list has changed a bit outside of the top 2.
Still tough, though.

American Idiot, not sure if you've heard yet, but Nixon from Framing Hanley bought Tunelab from its previous owner. He's going to change the name of the site as well.

One last bump as there are just over 90 minutes left before the voting closes. I'll post the results tomorrow morning after I wake up and we'll see where to go from there.

Is there just going to be a Top 10, or all the songs every one put ranked? I was going to post the full table, since I figured more people would prefer to see the entire rankings. So far there are 45 unique songs that people have placed on their rankings, but that could change if someone submits before midnight EST. I have all of the formatting done, I'm just waiting until the deadline to finalize the table so I don't have to edit it a bunch.

It'll be interesting to see what everyone has thought of.

Pulse Top 10s #1 - Foo Fighters - Results
After a surprising 21 responses, I'm here for the results of our first vote. I decided to post the full results at once for our first attempt. I wasn't sure if everyone would have preferred to stretch it out in a more suspenseful way, but I'll be fixing that issue with an added question on the second poll. Ties were first broken by RP, and then MX. (don't know what those abbreviations mean? look at the bottom of the table). Thanks for sending in your votes! RK | | Album(Year) | PTS | RP | MX | 1 | Everlong | The Colour and the Shape(1997) | 147 | 18 | 1 | 2 | The Pretender | Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace(2007) | 99 | 15 | 1 | 3 | Learn To Fly | There Is Nothing Left To Lose(1999) | 76 | 11 | 1 | 4 | Monkey Wrench | The Colour and the Shape(1997) | 67 | 12 | 1 | 5 | Walk | Wasting Light(2011) | 63 | 11 | 1 | 6 | Times Like These | One By One(2002) | 56 | 12 | 2 | 7 | Best Of You | In Your Honor(2005) | 54 | 8 | 1 | 8 | My Hero | The Colour and the Shape(1997) | 52 | 10 | 2 | 9 | All My Life | One By One(2002) | 48 | 10 | 1 | 10 | Congregation | Sonic Highways(2014) | 42 | 7 | 3 | 11 | Let It Die | Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace(2007) | 39 | 5 | 1 | 12 | Something From Nothing | Sonic Highways(2014) | 36 | 7 | 1 | 13 | Rope | Wasting Light(2011) | 33 | 8 | 2 | 14 | I Am A River | Sonic Highways(2014) | 33 | 5 | 2 |

| What Did I Do?/God As My Witness | Sonic Highways(2014) | 2 | 1 | 9 |
MX = Maximum position; highest the song reached on any submission RP = Total reporters; how many posters listed the song in their Top 10 I'll be announcing the winner of the poll for our second vote in a few days after I get some feedback from you guys. Hope you enjoy!

Ugh, got so caught up with work this week that I forgot to submit a ballot. Glad to see "Everlong" on top though.

Wow, I'm not surprised Everlong was the top pick but I'm surprised it was by such a big margin!
And aww, I'm the only person whose favorite is Walk? There are a lot of songs here that I'd never heard of that several people liked: Aurora in particular has my attention. I'll have to check these out.

Lol I was one of the three that didn't vote for Everlong, and (unpopular opinion) even after I just listened to it, I wouldn't have put it on my list.
