Alright, the long-awaited Queen countdown will be coming soon!
First off, thanks to DragonAttack for the great discography thread (link below) that he did recently. It's a great read if you need a refresher.
https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=57201.0I will count down the top 30 Queen 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 30 based off all lists cumulatively and count the songs down from 30 to 1.
The rules:
-Songs must be listed from 30 to 1 in order and NUMBERED, with no ties. No having three songs at number 1 or anything like that. 30 songs, listed from 30 to 1 or 1 to 30. 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, April 1st. I will then begin the countdown the following Monday. This should give anyone and everyone time to listen to the band's songs. That gives everyone almost three weeks to compile and submit a list, and even do some last minute listens if need be.
-The list will be tallied numerically in a simple way. On each list, whatever song is at number 1 gets 30 points, number 2 gets 29 points, number 3 gets 28 points, etc.
-Like the other countdowns, if there are multiple versions of the same song, you can use whatever version you like best when deciding where to rank the song, but there is no need to list that when submitting your top 30.
-Like before, no more Mr. Nice Guy on my part. PROOFREAD YOUR LISTS BEFORE SENDING THEM. Any list with the same song listed 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. The songs must be listed in your top 30 as listed below. For example, We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions are two songs. Combining them and putting them as one song will disqualify your list. Same goes for Tenement Funster, Flick of the Wrist and Lily of the Valley, which are three songs and will be treated as such for the purposes of this countdown.
