Okay, I have wanted to do this one for a while, and there seemed to be some interest in the appreciation thread for him a while back, so let's tackle a top 25 for Billy Joel.
I will count down the top 25 songs songs in order, and they will be taken from lists of anyone who wants to send me theirs via PM. Do not post them on the forum here. Send them to me via PM. I will take all of the lists and come up with a top 25 based off all lists cumulatively and count the songs down from 25 to 1.
The rules:
-Songs must be listed from 25 to 1 in order (in reverse order), with no ties. No having three songs at number 1 or anything like that. 25 songs, listed from 50 to 1. DO NOT list your songs with the points total. List them in your order (I will figure out the points on my end). Any list submitted with the songs not numbered will be ignored.
-Anyone wanting to submit a list must do so by the end of day, Saturday, February 4th. I will then begin the countdown shortly thereafter.
-The list will be tallied numerically in a simple way. On each list, whatever song is at number 1 gets 25 points, number 2 gets 24 points, number 3 gets 23 points, etc.
-PROOFREAD YOUR LISTS BEFORE SENDING THEM. Any list with the same song mentioned twice will be not be counted.
Feel free to post in this thread as well that you have PM'd me, if for no other reason than to bump this back up for others who may want to participate who may not have seen the thread yet.
This ranking engine link below works great. You can input all of the songs, and then you pick your favorite of every 1 on 1 matchup and then it spits out your list. If I forgot any song, feel free to point it out and I will add it.
