Title: Most Popular "EP" or Non-Album Track
Post by: chaossystem on November 21, 2014, 03:27:09 PM
I know I'm going to get a lot of "You left THIS one out," or you left THAT one out!"

But the list is longer than I wanted it to be the as is.

Also, these will hopefully be songs that most of us are more familiar with

Dammit. Most popular is definitely A Change of Seasons. But I voted for Raise The Knife, which is actually my favorite of the bunch.

I didn't know how to put "Change" in a poll without either including it in an album poll or a non-album poll...

A Change of Seasons is the clear winner here.

I don't know how to make this more "fair!"

How can I include ACoS in a poll without including other music that I would also like to include in the voting???

Perhaps it should have been favorite B sides or non album tracks, that is if you wanted to collect stats on the other pieces, because A Change of Seasons is clearly going to dominate these poor little obscure tracks. Also, you left THIS out: Wither is technically an EP track isn't it? :P

Eh, not really.  It is an album track because it was on the BCSL album.  The fact that they included so many versions on the "single" made it more EP length doesn't really make it an EP track IMO.

This boils down to semantics, but you could say "non-officially released tracks" or something like that.  Or you could just not include it.  :dunno:

Well, since ACOS is an EP of its own and is listed in DT's discography, technically it would be the most popular as its the only song.  Therefore it would progress to the next round.

Did I help you?

In a way, yes.

But it might be too late to delete it from this poll now.

Also wouldn't be fair to everyone who already voted.

Another problem is, I only planned to do one more round, in which the songs that got the most votes from each album would be voted on to determine the "most popular."

You can go ahead and lock or delete this thread/poll.

I think I've made the necessary corrections with the two new polls I've just added
