- As things stand, Tim's list holds a distinction that is true of none of the other lists.

And...just like that...this is no longer true.


The diversity I've seen in the 12 lists I've received so far is really impressive.  I expect Kev saw the same with the Rush and Maiden countdowns.  This is fun being on the other side of this one.

I'm guessing this was the representation of NOB.

Maybe the lack of representation in the later albums.

Or could be the amount of Arch songs.

Or I have no fucking clue.

I just submitted my list, though it is by no means definitive.

That was labour intensive. I've never listened to so much music by a single artist in such a short period of time.

I was just thinking you meant Tim was the only one with any song from NOB at that point (i.e. more than zero)...I slightly modified the guess to mean maybe he was the only one with more than one song from NOB...pg, can you reveal what it is?  :lol

Well...I don't want to say too much about individual list contents until all the lists are in, but there was a clue in one of my recent posts.  I will, however, say that, while it wasn't what I was talking about, one of the things recently mentioned was true.

By the way...I have now received 15 lists and am expecting at least two more, which is great!

We are now down to only three songs that were included on every list and (possibly more surprsiing) only NINE songs (out of 114) that have not appeared on anyone's list.  I think I will reveal those nine songs (or however many it turns out to be) at the same time I do the first reveal next week.  If you want to speculate about those songs, have at it!
