As I posted in the main tracker thread, I've been meaning to rank all the songs I received in my four roulettes. Well, I didn't get to every song .. just the best ones. Which I now present for your viewing and (perhaps) listening pleasure.
Four roulettes, 37 players, 395 bands, 445 songs, one list. I was just initially just planning on doing a Top 50, with some honourable mentions, but as I went through the process to stack rank them, holy shit did you fuckers send me some awesome music – some of which I’d forgotten to revisit all that much. So, seeing as how there’s only one active ‘Top-50’ at the moment, I might as well do all of the songs that made it into the “Top” category – essentially, the top 1/3 of the entire list of submissions.
I won’t be giving every song from 150-51 it’s own writeup, maybe the odd comment here and there. I don’t want to be at this until 2020. I’ll probably drop 5 or so at a time.
First, some more stats that I found kinda interesting.
30 DTF’rs are represented - number of roulette's they participated in [bolded users and their prediction of how many songs they have in this list]:
Wolfking – 4 (Winner, v3) [7]
Lonestar - 4 [6]
jjrock - 4 [4]
Bolsters – 3 (Winner, v4) [6]
Doc - 3
Elite - 3
King - 3 [4]
Lowdz – 3 (Winner, v2) [7]
Nekov - 3 [3]
TAC - 3 [7]
Big Hath - 2 [4]
Coz - 2
Prog Snob - 2
Evermind - 2 [4]
senecadawg2 – 2 [4]
Train - 2 [1][/b]
Zook - 2
Zydar - 2

v1 - 2012
32 songs (out of 80 that were received)
21.3% of this list; 40% of the songs received in Roulette 1 made the cut
Mean rating – 63
v2 - 2014
29 songs (out of 114)
19.3% of the list; 25.4% hit rate
Mean rating - 93
v3 - 2015
49 songs (out of 128)
32.6% of the list; 38% hit rate
Mean rating - 73
v4 - 2018
40 (out of 123)
26.6% of the list; 32.5% hit rate
Mean rating - 75
So, v3 represents the most songs on this list, but v1 was the most prolific; v2 is statistically the worst. As to be expected, over time some songs aged better than the rating that I gave them in the roulette, and some songs aged worse. One asterisk means I bought the album; two means I bought the whole damned discography
150 - v4 / Evermind / EnkeliNation / Last Time Together
149 - v4 / Indiscipline / Nikolo Kotzev's Nostradamus / Inquisition
148 - v1 / Doc / Power of Omens / Alone I Stand
147 - v3 / TAC / Lords Of The Trident / Shattered Skies
146 - v2 / Lowdz / At Vance** / Take My Pain (well, almost the whole discography)
