Wow a front page review, finally: spoiler: click to read
quiapz @Oct 22, 2009 DJ Shadow Endtroducing..... | Rated: 
Endtroducing..... is probably more respected and well-received than any other album I’ve heard of. Sure, you can make a case for the Abbey Roads and OK Computers throughout the history of music, but those records win through virtue of sheer popularity in the sense that the number of their fans hugely dwarf the number of their detractors. But there are still many critics and many harsh disparagements.
This album though was a pioneering record that was both critically acclaimed and sold a lot of units. ... more... |
 | The RTS List: Ranking The Songs
CURRENT/ACTIVE VOTING THREAD: Rank The Songs #57: Can - Tago Mago
INTRODUCTION:
It's exactly as the title implies. I run a series of threads where users rank the songs on the albums from most to least favorite and I tally them afterwards.
Basically, this is similar to this list - I'm just putting my own spin and direction to it.
For any suggestions and/or comments whatsoever (aside from album suggestions), send me a PM. ;)
RULES AND NOTES:
1) Rank the songs and don't forget to number them. Make sure that your favorite on the album is ranked #1 and proceed ranking down from there. The song is weighted according to its rank and the song with the least cumulative score at the end of voting wins.
2) Voting ends once the thread passes the "Older than 1 day" marker without any new lists.
3) The order I'm planning to do this is roughly just going down the Top Albums of All-time here on RYM. It may vary.
HOW TO INTERPRET THE RESULTS YOU SEE HERE:
Each line in the results is in the following format:
<rank>. <title> [<cumulative score>] (<1st place votes>-<2nd place votes>-<3rd place votes>-...so on and so forth...) Created: 04/01/2009 | Last updated: 11/13/2009 | 56 items |  | Female Celebrities I Adore

Phase 1: Building the Top 100 - Everyone who wants to participate posts their unranked list of 30 nominated tracks at most. The Top 100 songs (based on number of nominations) will make it on to the next phase. It's highly encouraged that you submit 30 tracks even if you're not required to do so since we're trying to build a 100-song "shortlist".
NOTE 1: The Top 100 will not be ranked since this is only a nomination phase.
NOTE 2: In the event that a lot of songs are vying for the last slots on the Top 100 (e.g. - ten songs have 1 nomination each but there are only five slots left) I will be exercising my personal decision on which songs make it through. But because I have this power, I'm not allowed to participate in the nomination process/not allowed to submit my list of nominees.
Phase 2: Breaking it down to the Top 20 - This will be done "Survivor Style" where the voters will pick 10 songs to be eliminated. 10 songs will be eliminated for the first 4 rounds and then 5 songs will be eliminated per round from that point onwards until we get down to the Top 20.
NOTE 1: If multiple songs are found tied in the chopping block for elimination, I will first check their votes in the previous rounds before exercising my personal decision on which songs make it through... but I can't participate otherwise.
Phase 3: Ranking the Top 20 - The final phase for this will be done in RTS/RAAS-style where the participants will rank the final 20 songs in order of preference. It's a daunting task; but since you've already been given advance notice, the assumption is that you've had enough foresight to rank the remaining songs.
