When making my Top Hot 100 Songwriters of All Time list, I had to go through a lot of "greatest songwriters of all time" lists, so I think I have a pretty good database of the most significant songwriters of all time to make a rankdown based tournament out of it. ROUND 2 - Due February 25, 2020 Rank these songs 1 to 20 from best to worst and PM me the list. All Is Full of Love - Bjork (writers: Bjork)All Of The Lights - Kanye West (writers: Kanye West, Jeff Bhasker, Fergie, The-Dream, Malik Jones, Scott Mescudi, Warren Trotter) All The Way - Frank Sinatra (writers: Jimmy Van Heusen, Sammy Cahn) Baby Love - The Supremes (writers: Eddie Holland, Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier) Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell (writers: Joni Mitchell)
Coat of Many Colors - Dolly Parton (writers: Dolly Parton) Everyday People - Sly & The Family Stone (writers: Sly Stone) Gypsy - Fleetwood Mac (writers: Stevie Nicks)Higher Ground - Stevie Wonder (writers: Stevie Wonder) Higher Love - Steve Winwood (writers: Will Jennings, Steve Winwood)
If - Bread (writers: David Gates) It's The End Of The World As We Know It - R.E.M. (writers: Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck, William Berry) Leaving On A Jet Plane - John Denver (writers: John Denver) Rock Your Body - Justin Timberlake (writers: Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, Justin Timberlake) Set Fire To The Rain - Adele (writers: Adele, Fraser T.

Voted.
And without revealing which ones, I'd like to know how many songs other participants are familiar with before going into voting. In this round, I knew 18 of the songs, and listened to the other two on the playlist. One pulled a Shania and didn't impress me much but the other blew me away.

By the way, since this is supposed to be ranking the song rather than the recording (but of course we still need to pick some recording to listen to), if there's a recording of any song you like more, you can use that instead. For example, I used the re-recording of "Both Sides Now" with the more lush instrumentals but if you want to use the folksier original from her album "Clouds" you can use that. Or in the case of "Higher Ground", the Red Hot Chili Peppers cover is also very popular so you can use that for your ranking if you prefer their cover.

Iβll try to send this tomorrow. Let me know if you need a bit more time. Ideally I'd start reveals about 24 hours from now so you have until then but I'm still waiting on a couple people.

I see my queen. Better do this before people who have zero patience for anything tank her.

Next up is the song with the lowest SD. So a song most people agreed wasn't one of the better ones on the list.

I would ranked "Ain't That a Kick in the Head" or "Come Fly With Me" higher for Jimmy Van Heusen (although this rankdown was already tough so not that much higher
