The 2021 TMT20 has concluded.
___________________________________________
Hello and welcome to the 2021 Talossan Music Top 20. I am subbing in for Glüc as the host this year, but I will be copying almost everything from him, so it should be close to what you are used to if you have participated before (and if you haven't, you won't know the difference anyway). I am deeply grateful to Glüc for all the past work he has done on this, which will hopefully make my job much easier.
If you have never heard of the TMT20, it is only the greatest song competition to ever exist.
For reference:

2021 TMT20 Nomination RulesNominations are now open. Everyone (including guests and prospective citizens) is invited to nominate songs to form the 2021 edition of the Talossan Music Top 20.
I anticipate the rounds format and tiebreakers will be the same as last year. However, if I do decide to make a change, I will of course announce it before the beginning of the relevant round.
The competition will consist of 150 songs. 102 songs have qualified automatically based on their performance last year. Therefore, there will be a total of 48 new nominations, of which
0 are currently unfilled.
For now we will start with 3 nominations per person. If we don't have enough songs by 9:00 TST on September 7th, everyone will be free to nominate one new songs every 12 hours.
We are voting on the written combination artist (or composer) + title, rather than the specific version that is being linked to, in case people do not like that version.
If you can, please include a link to youtube or some other video or audio file of the song. Otherwise I will find a link myself, but I might not always find the best version. In addition, I might try to make a spotify list of the songs. If there are multiple versions of the song on Spotify and you prefer a certain version, let me know.
All genres of music are welcome. Glüc had an entire paragraph here warning people that nominating an entire symphony is not a good idea, but go for it if you want, I guess.
Do not worry about nominating songs because they are not popular enough (or because they ar too mainstream). You do not get a prize if your song wins. If you get someone to listen to a song or genre he did not know or like before, that is nice too. We all seem to love our 70s rock classics, and if your all time favorite song happens to fall in that category, go for it! But if it does not, adding some diversity to the list is just as good. Just nominate whatever song you think deserves to be in the list for whatever reason.
Tagging some people who may or may not be interested (others are equally welcome to nominate songs of course):

Assuming I counted correctly, that is all the nominations we need.
Round 1 will probably start tomorrow or Monday.
Round 1 of the Talossan Music Top 20 - 2021!
Many thanks to everyone who nominated songs. Of course people who did not are still very welcome to participate.
Round 1 consists of ten groups of ten songs each. The top five songs in each group advance to Round 2 (and are given entry into next year's TMT20).
Groups are drawn randomly in such a way that each group contains one 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th place song from last year's Round 2, 4-5 new nominations, and 0-1 songs eliminated by random chance in Round 1 last year.
We will vote on groups two at a time (although you can vote on only one of the groups if you want). Each voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.
Give your top three songs 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three songs.

Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- Last year's result (Round 2 > other)
- Random chance
Any song eliminated by random chance (and any song eliminated by random chance last year that is eliminated based on last year's result) will be given entry into next year's TMT20.
Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.

TMT20 ROUND 1 - GROUPS 3 AND 4
Round 1 consists of ten groups of ten songs each. The top five songs in each group advance to Round 2 (and are given entry into next year's TMT20).
Groups are drawn randomly in such a way that each group contains one 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th place song from last year's Round 2, 4-5 new nominations, and 0-1 songs eliminated by random chance in Round 1 last year.
We will vote on groups two at a time (although you can vote on only one of the groups if you want). Each voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.
Give your top three songs 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three songs.

TMT20 ROUND 1 - GROUPS 7 AND 8
Round 1 consists of ten groups of ten songs each. The top five songs in each group advance to Round 2 (and are given entry into next year's TMT20).
Groups are drawn randomly in such a way that each group contains one 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th place song from last year's Round 2, 4-5 new nominations, and 0-1 songs eliminated by random chance in Round 1 last year.
We will vote on groups two at a time (although you can vote on only one of the groups if you want). Each voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.
Give your top three songs 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three songs.

Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- Last year's result (Round 2 > other)
- Random chance
Any song eliminated by random chance will be given entry into next year's TMT20.
Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.

TMT20 ROUND 1 - GROUPS 9 AND 10
Round 1 consists of ten groups of ten songs each. The top five songs in each group advance to Round 2 (and are given entry into next year's TMT20).
Groups are drawn randomly in such a way that each group contains one 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th place song from last year's Round 2, 4-5 new nominations, and 0-1 songs eliminated by random chance in Round 1 last year.
We will vote on groups two at a time (although you can vote on only one of the groups if you want). Each voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.
Give your top three songs 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three songs.

Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- Last year's result (Round 2 > other)
- Random chance
Any song eliminated by random chance will be given entry into next year's TMT20.
Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.
I did my best with all the links but there is always a chance some are broken or have a wrong version or bad audio quality. If a link is broken or you have a suggestion for a better link, please contact me or post the link in the thread. Officially, we are not voting on the YouTube link, but on the listed Artist + Title.

HM - Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity
Another tough group, in which I was not able to give points to one of my own new nominations.
The Mother We Share is not one of my favorite CHVRCHES songs. I must have forgotten when Clearest Blue was eliminated because I didn't realize this is the only song of theirs in the competition. Remind me next year to show them some love.
GROUP 10
3 - Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get It Started
2 - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - Ohio
1 - Beach Boys - I Get Around
HM: Kurt Schneider, Sam Tsui, Alex G, and Alyson Stoner - I'll Think Of You
I too was surprised to find Let's Get It Started at the top of my list.
Have to disagree with Ian. There's plenty of Chvrches songs I like, but The Mother We Share is the one that got me addicted and it's still on another level for me. Also sadly I feel a lot of the newer material is just more of the same and not really going anywhere new. Gun or Tether (or Clearest Blue) would definitely get points from me in most groups though.
Group 9:
3: The Mother We Share
2: Ghost Love Score
1: Song 2
HM: Frontier Psychiatrist.
Also sad about not having points left for Virtual Insanity. Bob Segar also a strong new nomination (even though I do not share his nostalgia).
Group 10: I don't even know where to start here. Way too many personal favourites in one group. Choosing between the best of Peter Gabriel and the best of Genesis without Gabriel was particularly difficult.
3: Fix You
2: My Silver Lining
1: Solsbury Hill
Song of Durin, Ohio and obviously Santorini may well have gotten points in a weaker group as well.
GROUP 9

TMT20 ROUND 2 - GROUPS 1 AND 2
Round 2 consists of ten groups of ten songs each. The top five songs in each group advance to Round 3.

We will vote on groups two at a time (although you can vote on only one of the groups if you want). Each voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.
Give your top four songs 4, 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three or four songs (awarding the 1-point vote is optional).

-Starman, #9 last year, becomes the first member of last year's top 20 to be eliminated.
GROUP 4
1. Burnin' For You - 10
2. Ring of Fire - 9
3. Midnight Flyer - 6
4. Run Away - 5 (one 4-point vote)
5. What a Wonderful World - 5 (no 4-point votes, #17 last year)

7. Paranoid Android - 4
8. Street Spirit (Fade Out) - 3
9. Fix You - 2
10. Clint Eastwood - 1
-This is the most unfortunate result for a single voter that I can recall. Glüc was the only voter to give points to all four of the songs he gave points to, and none advanced.
TMT20 ROUND 2 - GROUPS 5 AND 6
Round 2 consists of ten groups of ten songs each. The top five songs in each group advance to Round 3.
Groups are drawn randomly in such a way that each group contains one 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place song from Round 1, 2-3 songs eliminated in Round 3 last year, 0-1 songs eliminated in Round 4 last year, 1 song ranked between 11-20 last year, and 1 song ranked between 1-10 last year.
We will vote on groups two at a time (although you can vote on only one of the groups if you want). Each voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.
Give your top four songs 4, 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three or four songs (awarding the 1-point vote is optional).

Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 4 points
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- Last year's result (1 > 2 > ... > 20 > Round 4 > Round 3 > Round 2 > other)
- PPV in Round 1 (if applicable)
- Random chance
Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.

(https://i.imgur.com/iw7uu6K.png)
TMT20 ROUND 3 - GROUPS 1, 2, AND 3
Round 3 consists of five groups of ten songs each. The top five songs from each group advance according to the flowchart above. Groups are drawn randomly in such a way that each group contains two 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place songs from Round 2.
We will vote on groups 1, 2, and 3 and then groups 4 and 5. Each voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.
Give your top four songs 4, 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three or four songs (awarding the 1-point vote is optional).

Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.

4 - Bon Jovi - You Give Love a Bad Name

Imho the songs that came from round 4 are a lot stronger than the songs that made it into round 5 directly. Overall the top 20 ended up pretty strong this year, despite the usual overdose of classic rock (which is partly my own fault).

I hate to say it because it may reflect on my intelligence but i am having major problems keeping track of which round is the current round from day to day...it seems very confusing to have multiple rounds with the same numbers to me.

Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.
I did my best with all the links but there is always a chance some are broken or have a wrong version or bad audio quality.

COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC., IS VERY WELCOME.

Honestly I didnt do any sort of point by point analysis per voter or anything or take a detailed look at earlier votes. I just thought of who would likely be voting and which songs I remember them rooting for and took a rough guess. Im genuinely surprised I got it right.
Another rough guess:
12 - One More Day Above the Roses
11 - On the River
10 - Im Shipping Up to Boston
9 - Once in a Lifetime
8 - You Give Love a Bad Name
7 - The Devil Went Down to Georgia
Edit: forgot about two songs
Dont expect this one to be nearly as accurate because there are several othera that I expect to see soon as well
Also, fwiw, I think Gimme Shelter is the overwhelming favourite. Mostly, because I can't think of any other finalist that feels like a genuine contender for the number 1 spot atm.
2021 TMT20 #12
Bon Jovi - You Give Love a Bad Name
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrZHPOeOxQQ
Released 1986
From the album Slippery When Wet
First nominated by Ian Plätschisch in 2017
Previously #4 in 2017, #5 in 2018, #10 in 2019, and #11 in 2020
Final Round Points - 18
Received one 12-point vote (from me), but the only other two voters to give it points put it in their bottom half.
This is the fifth consecutive year in the top 20 for this song, but its position has declined each time.
2021 TMT20 #11
Dropkick Murphys - I'm Shipping Up to Boston
https://youtu.be/pMgHX2dhVlE
Released 2005
From the album The Warrior's Code
First nominated by Ian Plätschisch in 2021
Final Round Points - 19
Recieved a second- and third-place vote, but only one point from the other four voters.
Fun fact: half of the songs in the Top 20 of the 2015 contest are no longer around (that is, they were eliminated in round one at some point between 2016 and now). This includes five of the top ten and three of the top five.
2021 TMT20 #10
Gaelic Storm - One More Day Above the Roses
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1E9O7niZAM
Released 2012
From the album Chicken Boxer
First nominated by Ian Plätschisch in 2015
Previously #12 in 2016 and #15 in 2018.
Final Round Points - 21
This song has been in and out of the Top 20 before, but this is its highest ever finish and first time cracking the top 10. Received a second-place vote (from me) and a top-half vote from another voter known to also like this song, but a few additional points from two other voters put it over the top.
2021 TMT20 #9
Whiskey Myers - On the River
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab3sWMXI12U
Released 2016
From the album Mud
First nominated by Xhordan Plätschisch in 2019
Previously #16 in 2019.
Final Round Points - 21
This song is both the most recently released song in this year's Top 20 and the highest-ranking song this year released in the 21st century. In fact, it is the second-most recently released song to feature in the Top 20 in any year, behind only "High Hopes" (released 2018 and #13 last year), which only earned a nomination in the TMT20 by winning the 2019 special edition focusing on newly released songs.
Received the same number of points as "One More Day Above the Roses," but received a first-place vote and thus won the tiebreaker.

I suppose it is quite telling that the most recently released song in the TMT, and the highest ranking post 1982(!) still sounds like it could have been released 4 decades ago (still a good song though).
I'm glad Once in a Lifetime is still in. Don't expect that to last that much longer though.

Bob Segar - Old Time Rock and Roll
https://youtu.be/W1LsRShUPtY
Released 1979
From the album Stranger in Town

Final Round Points - 23
The highest ranking new nomination.
2021 TMT20 #7
Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGofoH9RDEA
Released 1980
From the album Remain in Light
First nominated by Glüc da Dhi in 2017
Previously #9 in 2017 and #13 in 2018.
Final Round Points - 23
These two songs had the closest tiebreaker of the final. Both received a total of 23 points and one first-place vote. However, Once in a Lifetime also got a 7-point vote, while the highest other vote for Old Time Rock and Roll was for six points. Under last year's Final Round first tiebreaker rules (average of Rd 2 and 3 PPV), Bob Segar would have won.
Unfortunate, since Once in a Lifetime was the only song in the final that I don't like :P
12 - Once in a Lifetime
10 -
8 - Haifisch
7 -
6 -
5 -
4 -
3 - On the River
2 - Roam
1 -
Too bad about Once in a Lifetime and Haifisch, though I was positively surprised about them reaching the final in the first place. All 0-pointers are out already so I can't really complain.
Probably mentioned this before in an earlier edition, but for anyone who (unlike Ian apparently) does appreciate the music of Talking Heads, it's well worth watching the entire Stop Making Sense film. Nearly every performance on there (except maybe Psycho Killer) is better than the studio version. It's an overall brilliant performance, probably the best full concert movie of any artist out there.

Predictions holding up reasonably well so far (probably mostly through luck), but it gets increasingly difficult
6 - The Devil Went Down to Georgia - too much love/hate I suspect. Not enough broad support.
5 - Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits tracks getting in each others way. Not sure which will end up higher.
4 - Bohemian Rhapsody - Has been losing steam in recent years and didn't have a great run up to the final.
3 - The Chain - Too few top-3 spots. Expecting a lot of mid-range scores.
2 - Telegraph Road - See Sultans.
1 - Gimme Shelter - Favourite by process of elimination
2021 TMT20 #6
The Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6RUg-NkjY4
Released 1979
From the album Million Mile Reflections
First nominated by Ian Plätschisch in 2017
Previously #6 in 2017, #16 in 2018, #6 in 2019, and #5 in 2020
Final Round Points - 27
Only Bohemian Rhapsody (7) and Telegraph Road (6) have made it into the top 10 more times than this song.

Right position, wrong reason. This song received points from all six voters, but the majority ranked it in their bottom half and no one gave it more than eight. By standard deviation of number of points, it was the third-least divisive song (behind Seven Nights in Eire and a song that hasn't come up yet).
2021 TMT20 #5
Dire Straights - Telegraph Road
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8bWGGA-5HM
Released 1982
From the album Love Over Gold
First nominated by Lüc da Schir in 2013
Previously #6 in 2015, #2 in 2017, #7 in 2018, #5 in 2019, and #4 in 2020.
Final Round Points - 27
Only Bohemian Rhapsody (7) has made it into the top 5 more times than this song. By standard deviation of number of points, this was the most divisive song, with two voters giving it second-place votes, but three voters giving it no points. The two second-place votes gave it the edge over The Devil Went Downt to Georgia in the tiebreaker and gave it yet another top-5 finish.
2021 TMT20 #4
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ9rUzIMcZQ
Released 1975
From the album A Night at the Opera
First nominated by Eðo Grischun in 2009
Previously #1 in 2015, #4 in 2016, #1 in 2017, #2 in 2018, #4 in 2019, and #2 in 2020.
Final Round Points - 29
Talossa's favorite song, Bohemian Rhapsody has been on the TMT20 podium more often than it hasn't been. It missed this year by a single point, but one first-place vote along with three mid-range votes is good for another 4th place finish.
No song in the top 3 received a 12-point vote.
Oof. Hoped the Dire Straitses would have shown up in a different order. I had Telegraph Road second, so my top 3 is out now.
2021 TMT20 #3
The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbmS3tQJ7Os
Released 1969
From the album Let It Bleed
First nominated by Xhordan Plätschisch in 2018
Previously #14 in 2018, #3 in 2019, and #1 in 2020.
Final Round Points - 30
Everyone gave this song points, but no one gave it more than eight (the same outcome, in fact, as The Devil Went Down to Georgia, and the second-place song this year).
Third place is very respectable for a defending champion. In fact, it is the second-highest ever finish for such a song (behind, as usual, Bohemian Rhapsody, which won in 2017 and came in second in 2018).
Ooh, that's a surprise. I knew we never had a consecutive winner, but I thought Gimme Shelter would break the curse.
2021 TMT20 #2
Fleetwood Mac - The Chain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDG2m5hN1vo
Released 1977
From the album Rumours
First nominated by Glüc da Dhi in 2018
Previously #20 in 2018.
Final Round Points - 32
By standard deviation of the number of points given, this was the least divisive song in the Final. Every voter gave it between three and eight points. That was enough for a great finish, but not enough to win.
2021 TMT20 #1
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIufLA7Bx2Q
Released 1978
From the album Dire Straits
First nominated by Erschéveþ da Schir in 2019
Previously #8 in 2019 and #8 in 2020.
Final Round Points - 36
Three top-3 votes, plus two mid-range votes, delivered this song the win.
I tried desparately to come up with a statistic for which Dire Straits would have Queen beat, but alas I am not sure it is possible (unless you ignore Under Pressure).
Total Top-20 finishes: 14 for Queen and 9 for Dire Straits (Bon Jovi is next, with 7).
Total Top-10 finishes: 10 for Queen and 9 for Dire Straits
Total Top-5 finishes: 9 for Queen and 5 for Dire Straits
Total Top-3 finishes: 5 for Queen and 2 for Dire Straits
Total wins: 2 for Queen and 1 for Dire Straits
The majority of Dire Straits' TMT20 success has come from Telegraph Road (it has made the Top 10 every year except 2016), so I guess it's surprising that Sultans of Swing was their first song to actually win.
Thanks to everyone who participated. I may be coming out with some more stats over the coming days.

Thanks for moderating the voting!
Not surprised by the low sd for the Chain. Am somewhat surprised by Sultans winning, though it is a classic of course.
This was my full list btw:
12 - Once in a Lifetime
10 - Telegraph Road
8 - Haifisch
7 - Gimme Shelter
6 - Bohemian Rhapsody
5 - The Chain
4 - Sultans of Swing
3 - On the River
2 - Roam
1 - The Devil Went Down to Georgia
Anyway, many thanks to Ian for taking over the organisation for this year. It was nice to just be a participant for once. I also very much enjoyed the stats you included.
