Definitely interested!
Anything with Pet Shop Boys, Fleetwood Mac, Eurythmics, ABC, OMD, ELO, The Cars, The Police, and New Order is VERY appealing.
Hope I'll have enough time to work on this over the holidays, after a couple yearend RDs.

Reminder that you have 4 weeks to submit! Up to 5 lists, after Trilogy and astorknight entered the ring. I finally actually set up the spreadsheet, so I can offer a few fun facts about the results so far: -2 songs have been #1. At one point, they were tied. The current #1 has just a 9-point lead over #2. -3 songs have been #45. The current #45 is behind #44 by 11 points -7 songs have been in every iteration of the top 10. -29 songs have at least one top 10 ranking. Only 3 songs are still waiting for their first top 20. |

Reminder that you have 2 weeks and 6 days to submit! No new submissions this week, but there was a lot going on this week, so that's understandable. You still have plenty of time anyway! |

Wow, that deadline is creeping up. I'm pretty swamped with things this January but I can probably get it in on time.

I know more of these than I thought. Some pretty good stuff. It was the wrong Wang Chung song from "To Live and Die In LA" soundtrack chosen, should have been "Wait"  |

You did so early in the process, in fact, so thank you very much for that. A list of submissions up to this point can be found at the bottom of the first post. |

Can I be tagged in the results please? I'm not going to have time to put a submission together b/c of IRL obligations.

Top 2: 9/10
3-13: 8/10
deep breath 14-38: 7/10
39-45: 6/10
Not a bad song here, as to be expected with a gates RD. I expect to both do well and terribly at the same time, if that makes any sense...but I'd imagine the rankdown itself being so solid will soften any potential blows.

1 day to submit! (and to specify, the exact time of the due date is tomorrow, midnight PT. If this deadline stays put, I will reveal the first set the following day, Monday, ~5PM PT.) After a slow middle period, submissions are beginning to rise to about the level I was hoping for. Which means, if you really want in but need a little more time (I won't be extending any longer than, say, 4 days, though), you better let me know very soon.

Can we get an extension. Too many songs I'm unfamiliar with and I need some extra time if I participate.

Can we get an extension. Too many songs I'm unfamiliar with and I need some extra time if I participate. Ugh, damnit, I suck. I only just saw this, and after I had put together most of the reveal posts for this set. Well, unfortunately, after the Saturday tag post, I looked more closely at my schedule and realized it's going to be hard to offer one without delaying more than a week. And with how big the rankdown ended up being (with pretty much everyone who said they were working on a list getting in eventually), I don't want to keep people waiting more than the 2 months that they have. My apologies. But I can tag you in the results, if you'd like. |

1. Which songs from the 1978-1982 period will finish highest and lowest?
this is really tricky... for highest I'll go with Are 'Friends' Electric? since Gary Numan did exceedingly well in the 70s pop rankdown, but Being Boiled also has a good shot; as for lowest, I kinda have no idea at all, but I'll go with Europa & the Pirate Twins as a sorta random guess
2. Which songs from the 1983-1987 period will finish highest and lowest?
highest? hoo boy, there are quite a lot of options here... I definitely think Bizarre Love Triangle, It's My Life, This Must Be the Place, Stripped, and This is the Day all have really really good shots at being the highest, but I think BLT will sneak above the rest. as for lowest, I (sadly) think it's gonna be Moments In Love
3. Which songs from the 1989-2015 period will finish highest and lowest?
I think highest will be Goodbye Horses, but maybe a track like Everything is Embarrassing could take that spot. for lowest, bit of a shot in the dark, as none of these really stick out as a definite lowest placer, but I'll guess The Sparrows and the Nightingales
4. Highest SDs?
absolutely Moments in Love and Computer Love. also think Everywhere, Falling, REALiTi, Ghosts, and possibly You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) might have high SDs
5. Lowest SDs?
Vienna, Joan of Arc (Maid of Orleans), Great Southern Land, The Look Of Love, This Is The Day, Bizarre Love Triangle, Cherry
6. Give yourself a % chance of your #1 being the first to get the boot.
lol probably like 35% tbh
7. As well, give yourself a % chance of your #45 being the last one standing.
my #45 might be pretty controversial, so 60%
8. How high on your list is your favorite first listen?
#3 when I first made my list... it's now my #1
9. Any other stray comments about the rankdown you feel like bringing up?

First listens I really enjoyed, but they barely didn’t make my Top 10:
VNV Nation - Standing
The Magnetic Fields - 100,000 Fireflies
No chance I’m winning.
It’s a Sin for the win...

Again, I'm not all that confident with these predictions, but I wanted to give them a shot.
1. Which songs from the 1978-1982 period will finish highest and lowest?
I feel like The Human League, The Cars and maybe Devo will end up finishing the highest, while I'm more confident that Thomas Dolby will end up as the lowest.
2. Which songs from the 1983-1987 period will finish highest and lowest?
New Order (my #1 prediction), Fleetwood Mac and Depeche Mode will finish highest, while Art of Noise will likely finish lowest.
3. Which songs from the 1989-2015 period will finish highest and lowest?
I think that The Magnetic Fields and Sky Ferreira will finish the highest, and I'm not very confident about which of these will finish lowest lol, so maybe Grimes?
4. Highest SDs?
Moments in Love, Computer Love, Nuclear Sessions and maybe Ghosts as well.
5. Lowest SDs?
Bizarre Love Triangle, Stripped, A Real Hero, Europa and the Pirate Twins and In Your Eyes.
6. Give yourself a % chance of your #1 being the first to get the boot.
Probably like 10% because I'm fairly certain I won't be alone with my #1 pick, and I can't really see too many people tanking it.
7. As well, give yourself a % chance of your #45 being the last one standing.
About a 40%? I have no idea how well liked it was, but it really wasn't for me.
8. How high on your list is your favorite first listen?
#3
9. Any other stray comments about the rankdown you feel like bringing up?

1. Which songs from the 1978-1982 period will finish highest and lowest?
I feel like it's going to be Being Boiled, but I know what I'm rooting for here, and it's not that. Europa might fight for last in the rankdown overall, to be honest, and I think it will be the lowest of the group.
2. Which songs from the 1983-1987 period will finish highest and lowest?
Both of my favorites to win this are here: Stripped and Bizarre Love Triangle. People are so quick to say that Moments in Love is going to be the lowest here, and it'll be one of, I suppose, but I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of songs here are close, ie. Duel.
3. Which songs from the 1989-2015 period will finish highest and lowest?
Highest will be Everything is Embarrassing, and I almost wonder if it will be close. The lowest is tougher...I'll go for something different with Fineshrine, though I'm not confident at all.
4. Highest SDs?
Moments in Love has to have the support to get to this point, but maybe it will. Computer Love WILL have the support needed to be a high SD. Shot in the dark: It wouldn't surprise me if Are "Friends" Electric has a high SD, too.
5. Lowest SDs?
Europa near the bottom, Stripped and Bizarre Love Triangle near the top.
6. Give yourself a % chance of your #1 being the first to get the boot.
5%. And I'm being slightly pessimistic with that number. I'd be very, VERY surprised if it's the first one out.
7. As well, give yourself a % chance of your #45 being the last one standing.
Far less confident about this...40%. I've already seen a little support for this song appear, so it may hang out for a while.
8. How high on your list is your favorite first listen?
#11. And I'm ashamed of the fact that it was a first listen at all.
9. Any other stray comments about the rankdown you feel like bringing up?
I posted the information.

OK Sambalada's list just came in so the number of submissions is now 24 lol Posting in order to say I will officially not be accepting any lists past his, in order to save me a lot of hassle. Also, because of this, reveals will not be starting at 5PM. They could be starting as far as an hour or more past that, actually. |
