Sorry for the delay, was waiting for a few people to send me corrections for their lists. 19 Pulse members contributed to our Gorillaz tally and the votes are as follows: I'll have the results from the vote and the poll for our next artist up in the next few days. Thanks for voting!

Damn, Clint Eastwood was so close. At least it got the most votes.
Also, YAY Stylo in the top 3!

Five #1s for "Stylo". No other song had more than three.
Good job, team.

Also, YAY Stylo in the top 3! yeah I'm hoping for an upset victory again soon like "Knights Of Cydonia" in our Muse vote, close but just missed it this time around.

I really did mean to submit a list for this but I never got around to it. Good number one, though, if predictable. Feel Good Inc would've been high on my list.

The one surprise to me is that "On Melancholy Hill" ranked at #5 over three singles. I figured "Feel Good Inc." and "Clint Eastwood" would be the Top 2 as they're the band's biggest hits by far.

I'm glad "On Meloncoly Hill" got top 5. That was my #1 choice. On another subject. *I think it's about time where each member gets to pick the band we do the rankdowns on. One time it's Red . Next time Butterflies & Hurricanes and so forth. The order could be how each member joined the site or whatever. This way each member gets to choose a band he or she really loves at least once in this lifetime. but seriously? Could it really be that bad to try it out?

The order could be how each member joined the site or whatever. This way each member gets to choose a band he or she really loves at least once in this lifetime. but seriously? Could it really be that bad to try it out? Board seniority might be a good way to break ties in our tournaments considering I've been here longer than at least half of the regular rock posters . On to the point of your post...I can definitely understand your feelings on this subject and that does seem like a cool idea. The reason I think it's best to keep the voting the way it is is that it makes sure that the artist picked at least has a decent base of support among the people who just participated in the last vote, which keeps the game's activity strong. It might mean a few people aren't happy when each vote comes up but it's an attempt to balance what the majority of people want in the best way possible. While I'd personally love to do rankings of bands like Portugal. The Man, Soul Coughing, Everything Everything, etc. I'm not sure how many people would feel the same way and I'd hate to do all of the work to only get something like 5 or 6 ballots. One thing I have done for these artists that maybe you can take into consideration for your favorites is work on your T10 lists for them anyway just in case the chance ever arises. This way you get the enjoyment of listening to the music and save yourself the work if they come up. Just a suggestion :) I do really thank posters like you Dr. Indie (and Daryl, Lordeftones, alexcuse) who have made an effort each and every time regardless of how much you liked the artist. It keeps the game alive and you get to have an impact on who gets picked next every single time. (sidenote, dm2081 has an impressive 27/28 record, only missing Depeche Mode and Pipa was tied with him until missing this Gorillaz vote). Every suggestion is appreciated because I want to make this as enjoyable for everyone as I can, so if anyone else has ideas feel free to post them here. On a semi-related note which might be good news for some of our regular participants, I'll give a hint that our next artist has been waiting quite a while to get their vote and finally triumphed on this ballot. Stay tuned!

With the person to person approach, I would immediately pick Lorde no questions asked. I don't think I've missed a Top 10 yet! Even making lists for Weezer and Radiohead.

"Andromeda" rightfully the highest-ranking song from Humanz. Perfectly okay with the #1 pick, would've been mine four months ago too.

To make it more realistic, I forgot to add, that each person should choose from the top favorites all ready on the list. That would save all of you, from me choosing MisterWives. Just kidding, but that was what I meant. Choose a band allready on the list. I always see around 4-5 favorites on there anyway. BTW, after doing Gorillaz; I could do Lorde, 3 Doors Down and Everything Everything blindfolded. ;)

Am I the oldest poster in this thread since it says I joined "September 2004"? But for some reason they categorize me as "New Member" under my name. But yeah In terms of tiebreakers, i wouldn't want myself or any one specific poster to be unilaterally breaking ties.

Time to announce the results of our last vote, unfortunately no one got the secret prize for uncovering the clue left in my response to Dr. Indie's post, maybe next time!

Stay tuned! Here are the full results: After 14 attempts, David Bowie clears a tie with Coldplay to earn a vote on his legendary discography. 3 Doors Down is the lone act with 2 votes so bows out of the ballot for now. Our two replacements are Arcade Fire and Disturbed, both with their first appearances on the ballot. Not satisfied with the slate of 25 artists to pick from? Make sure to use the optional artist suggestion slots at the bottom of the ballot to help your favorites make the next edition return to the ballot.
Voting closes in two weeks (roughly August 21st Midnight ET). Thanks for participating!

The Cars will be vintage before they get their day, but you know what? David Bowie is awesome. I'm just as happy. 70's and 80's Bowie is the best.

This is gonna be a trip. I'm pretty familiar with Bowie's eras so I know which albums I don't care for, may just skip those. Might be heavy on the hits and a little bit of Blackstar thrown in there.

Sent. This was the hardest top 10 I ever did. Easily, 20-30 songs deserving those 10 places.

Agreed, was difficult to cut some of his biggest classic hits. Even after eliminating "Space Oddity", I still had more than 20 songs.

I could easily choose all my songs from "Scary Monsters", but I'll do variation instead.

completely forgot about the deadline and didn't send out any reminders, so I'm extending this a week to August 29th. (plus Bowie has a million albums so gives everyone more time to listen to whatever they can fit in)

yeah don't worry you're good, first week of classes for me so I'm busy getting everything set up there. Only 13 submitters so far so maybe others were having similar issues. I'll give a 24 hour warning as always before this closes but you'll probably have a day or two minimum before that happens.
