Hello and welcome to the 2022 Talossan Music Top 20
We are holding it a bit early this year to celebrate the return of the inestimable Lüc da Schir.
For reference:
http://wiki.talossa.com/Talossan_Music_Top_20
https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=1007.0
2022 TMT20 Nomination RulesNominations are now open. Everyone (including guests and prospective citizens) is invited to nominate songs to form the 2022 edition of the Talossan Music Top 20.
The rounds format and tiebreakers will be the same as last year.
The competition will consist of 150 songs. 101 songs have qualified automatically based on their performance last year. Therefore, there will be a total of 49 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 17:00 TST on April 22nd, 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.
All genres of music are welcome. Nominating an entire symphony is probably 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 are 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):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3QS83ubhHE
3. The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnpILIIo9ek
Was also considering nominating something by The The (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_The), just to see how Ian would deal with that (having removed all the "The"'s from the artist names). ;D
Edit: nevermind, we still have The Weeknd and The Who. I suppose "Who" would be almost as bad as "The"
Very tough to pick just 3 as usual, so I tried to pick unrepresented artists:
1. Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRMvKFJ5fZM
2. Kool & The Gang - Celebration
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GwjfUFyY6M
3. Boney M. - Rasputin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1GxjzHm5us
The Fixx - One Thing Leads to Another (1983)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIe-Cj071l0
Going with three modern songs this time, which probably means that all of them will be eliminated in the first round, but whatever.
1. Paramore - Still Into You (the song our Organic Law is kind of named after)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OblL026SvD4
2. Charli XCX - Boom Clap
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOPMlIIg_38
3. CHVRCHES - Killer

I remove "The" unless it is an integral part of the name (in my judgment)
I know there's one Foo Fighters song already but given the sad news about Taylor I think it's a good idea to throw up their biggest hit
Foo Fighters - Everlong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBG7P-K-r1Y
List could use some Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen - Everybody Knows
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxd23UVID7k
also this cause BOOMER
The Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band - Boomer Sooner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ErtzJSUiQY

4. System of a Down - Chop Suey!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSvFpBOe8eY

5. Chvrches (feat. Robert Smith) - How Not To Drown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U_LhzgwJ4U
Was tempted to just renominate The Mother We Share, which is still the best thing they did, but this, while only being the second best thing they did, has the benefit of not being recently eliminated, being more recently released, and also making up somewhat for the shocking lack of The Cure in the TMT.
5th pick, fixing the lack of Falco in this TMT20:

On the assumption that a second triple pick is not allowed and we still have two free spots,
Quoteeveryone who has already nominated three songs can nominate an additional song once every 12 hours
My seventh pick would be:

Round 1 of the Talossan Music Top 20 - 2022!
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 a Round 2 group last year, 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.
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.
COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC., IS VERY WELCOME.

Group 1 is a tough group to start with. No absolute must-go-throughs, but a lot more than three songs that deserve points.
Went with two of the instrumentals, after listening reminded me how beautiful the Aranjuez adagio in particular is. I'm quite surprised nobody has given points to ABBA yet. Amazingly catchy song. That means no points left for Stressed Out and I Ran So Far Away sadly.
Group 2 isnt quite so strong. Most of these arent really my cup of tea, but there are still 4 point worthy songs. 3 and 2 points go to two absolute classics. Let's Get it Started just missed out, though I am really excited about the TMT getting started again.
I am a bit worried about the other groups this round, because I feel the nomination round was quite strong this year and there were also several unfortunate eliminations in round 2 last year, so there are gonna be some tough choices to make.

1. ABBA - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)

2. Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get It Started
1. Beatles - Let it Be
BP: Green Onions I guess? How does this song keep surviving?

Round 1 of the Talossan Music Top 20 - 2022!
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 a Round 2 group last year, 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.
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.
COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC., IS VERY WELCOME.

Green Onions has been in every TMT20 since the beginning (including the 2009 and 2013 editions, before the contest became annual in 2015). It's a bit sad to see it go.

BP: Green Onions I guess? How does this song keep surviving?
"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."Thus being eliminated in a tie for random chance this year I think it will be back next year. I think it got further before.

Green Onions was eliminated by the three-point votes tiebreaker, not random chance, so it won't be back next year.
Group 3 is reasonably strong. Santé is my favourite 2021 release. Love the message of the song, but mostly love the slightly weird rhythm and the synth melody. The Colour and the Shape was the first CD I ever bought so definitely some nostalgic feelings towards Everlong, but in the end it just misses out on the last point. With regards to Chvrches it is kinda unfortunate that Ian and I both like the band but never seem to agree on what tracks to pick. This one is alright imho, but not good enough for points sadly. I'm not too fond of the way the vocal pitch correction thingy in the chorus was executed. As for Nickelback, I appreciate that it was nominated anyway after being retracted due to negative comments. Nobody should ever be bullied out of liking a song.
Group 4 is kinda meh for me. The three songs that get points are all very good, though not neccesarily in all time personal favourite territory. Same goes for Rubberband Man, which just misses out. Very pleased to see the return of Roxanne.
Still worried we could still potentially get some ridiculously stacked round 1 group this year.

My Father in Law introduced me to them. You might also like Tuba Skinny, if you like the Rev. Peyton.
I don't get why everyone hates Nickelback. I think they're good.
There's a bit of a consensus that Group 4 is not particularly strong. I would agree, but I have a very different opinion of which songs are the weak ones than most other voters.

A lot of final round songs in past TMT20s have not gotten 20 points. This is a testament to the great uptick in participation this year, and the fact that Roxanne got twice as many points as second place.
Eleanor Rigby is the first song to advance without any 3-point votes. Meanwhile, three songs with a 3-point vote in Group 4 were eliminated (only two such songs were eliminated in Groups 1-3).
Round 1 of the Talossan Music Top 20 - 2022!
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 a Round 2 group last year, 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.

Feel Good Inc. -> Polkarama! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCAt9WcCFbM%20class="link")
Group 6 is the strongest group so far imho. Gonna be a very difficult choice...
First off, song number one in group 5 is NOT Bangles.
Group 5
3. Frank Sinatra-My Way
2. Bee Gees-How Deep Is Your Love
1. Peter Gabriel-Solsbury Hill
Group 6
3. Bon Jovi-Wanted Dead Or Alive
2. Jason Boland-Devil Pays In Gold
1. Amadou & Mariam (Feat. Manu Chao)-Senegal Fast Food
According to the nominator:
Quote from: Iason Taiwos on April 10, 2022, 10:32:07 AM
(This group is technically Alvin and the Chipmunks)
but yeah, definitely not the Bangles.
Also for Sleaford Mods one, Mork n Mindy is probably the name of the song and Sleaford Mods (feat. Billy Nomates) the artist.
3 - Bee Gees - How Deep is Your Love
2 - Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian
1 - Frank Sinatra - My Way
Group 6
3 - Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive
2 - Smiths - How Soon Is Now?
1 - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Requiem Mass in D Minor
In group 5 Im a bit sad I don't have points left for Falco. That is nothing compared to group 6 however. Strongest group so far. 8 songs really deserve points. That includes two new discoveries. As weird as it is I kinda like Mork and Mindy. Everybody Knows is my favourite discovery so far this year though, and it would be surprising if that still changed before the end of this round. It's hilariously dark. Mozart also deserves points obviously, as the Requiem is one of the most beautiful pieces ever composed, but on the other hand, I still think it would be better if parts of it were nominated separately. That still leaves an impossible choice. In particular the 1 point could easily have been replaced with one of the others if I were in a different mood.

Feel Good Inc. - 3
Solsbury Hill - 2
How Not to Drown - 1

GROUP 6
3 - Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive
2 - Jason Boland and the Stragglers - Devil Pays In Gold
1 - Amadou & Mariam (feat. Manu Chao) - Sénégal Fast Food
We should give Still Into You status as a patriotic song, given its connection to the Organic Law. Make me your first preference for Seneschal and you might get a PD to that effect.
GROUP 5

2 - Frank Sinatra - My Way
1 - Falco - Der Kommissar
GROUP 6

Observations
-Frank Sinatra gets both of his songs through Group 5, while Der Kommissar and Sénégal Fast Food tie for the most 1-point votes (each with five).
-CHVRCHES' run in this TMT20 has come to a soggy end. Both of their songs came in 10th place in their group.
-Group 6 has an absolutely wild six-way tie for second-most points. None of the eliminations were based on random chance, although a lot of the rest of the ordering was.
-Elettrochoc and Mork n Mindy are the first songs to get zero points.
-New songs did not fare well in either group. Only one advanced in Group 5 (Der Kommissar), and none advanced in Group 6 (partially due to the tiebreaker based on prior year result).
Round 1 of the Talossan Music Top 20 - 2022!
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 a Round 2 group last year, 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.

What an absolute nightmare result. :'( Could hardly have gone worse. (And I fear group 7&8 might end up not much better)
Oh well, it's nice that so many people are voting though. Would be great if we could even get to 12 or 13 later on...
Dreamt the Other Night was a nice discovery, but I don't have points left. I'm still amazed at the existance of the Cardigans Black Sabbath cover, but sadly no points left there either. Group 8 is very strong imho, as I have to leave School pointless as well. Paranoid Android is probably my current favourite of all the songs participating in the tmt.

GROUP 7 - big stack, not so much for the number of songs which I would have given points to, but rather for the sheer strength of individual songs. Each of my votes + HMs is a three-pointer in the right group.

Good sir, are you aware that Group 9 only has 9 artists?
I think the 10th in group 9 is supposed to be Aerosmith - Dream On
Quote from: Glüc da Dhi S.H. on May 09, 2022, 03:17:18 AM
I think the 10th in group 9 is supposed to be Aerosmith - Dream On
Yep, I'll get that fixed
Ik stond zelfs in dubio over groep 9. Ik heb getwijfeld over België, maar heb uiteindelijk toch gekozen voor het adembenemend mooie Street Spirit. Zo'n nummer wat me elke keer weer weet te raken. Sowieso een sterke groep. Ook Rasputin, Freedom of Choice en Disco Inferno hadden best punten mogen krijgen.
Björk is amazing. Glad she was nominated again, although I don't think this is her best song. Still good, but not enough for points sadly. Same goes for Ohio. I would understand if people felt this particular Rush song is a bit over the top, with the choir and bells and strings and everything towards the end, but I'm kind of a sucker for this kind of bombast. Plus I find the message (about life not being a sprint, but...) comforting. Best served if you turn up the volume.
9:
Street Spirit - 3
Under Pressure - 2
Dream On - 1
Most honourable mention and many bonus points: België
10
Marathon - 3
Life's What You Make It - 2
Zitti e Buoni - 1
GROUP 9
3 - Devo - Freedom of Choice
2 - Trammps - Disco Inferno
1 - Gaelic Storm - Rum Runners
Ironically, Devo was nominated to the Rock and Roll hall of fame this year but was not selected in that "freedom of choice" so Talossans should instead put them in the TMT honor!
GROUP 10
3 - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - Ohio
2 - Måneskin - Zitti E Buoni
1 - Rush - Marathon
PS if you get a chance to see the series 1971 on Apple TV it is really good. CSNY Ohio is featured near the start of the first episode. And in a nod to my group 9 nominee from this article (https://clevelandmagazine.com/entertainment/music/articles/the-case-for-devo-s-induction-into-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame)
from Cleveland magazine:
Devo is more art project than rock band. Drawing on dada and surrealism, Devo was Kent State University students Mark Mothersbaugh and Jerry Casale's response to the May 4, 1970, shootings, in which two of their friends were killed. Exploring the idea of "de-evolution," the band's pop sensibilities masked a subversive social satire that pointed a finger at society.

TMT songs in Weird Al Polkas counter: 4
Black Hole Sun -> The Alternative Polka (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVWjThlEzts%20class="link")
(Although all three from last round got eliminated. Maybe it's cursed.)

Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (https://youtu.be/uN3yqMr3ffY%20class="link")
Somehow this video gives an annoying click in my headphones. Don't remember that from last year. Maybe it could be replaced with this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2rSsyslIig

Supertramp - School (https://youtu.be/6a_q5Th10ls%20class="link")
Supertramp really does not want their stuff on youtube apparently, because the new link has already been taken down. Maybe this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7R_gflT8tg
Group 1:
Ghost Love Score - 4
Sultans of Swing - 3
Black Hole Sun - 2
Sirius/Eye in the Sky - 1

Group 2
4 - Simon and Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence
3 - Beatles - Let It Be
2 - Bee Gees - How Deep is Your Love
1 - Looking Glass - Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)
GROUP 1 - Not a bad lineup of songs but luckily four stood out personally.
4. Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing
3. Alan Parsons Project - Sirius/Eye In The Sky
2. Antonio Vivaldi - Gloria In Excelsis Deo
1. Aerosmith - Dream On
GROUP 2 - Lots of tough choices sadly. No votes left for Bee Gees or Big Iron, and considering I already voted for Let it Be in R1 I evidently didn't mind giving points to that either.
4. Queen - Innuendo
3. Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
2. Rammstein - Haifisch

3 Crosby, Stills and Nash - Southern Cross
4 Looking Glass - Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)
1 Supertramp - School
Bit of a drop in turnout...
Only 7 voters for that last one. Maybe it's because of round 2..., but then again voting should probably be less effort because most voters will already know more songs in advance. Hopefully its only a temporary dip.
Voting on Groups 1 and 2 is closed.
GROUP 1
1. Sultans Of Swing - 16
2. Sirius/Eye In The Sky - 8 (two 3-point votes)
3. Dream On - 8 (one 3-point votes)
4. Black Hole Sun - 6 (one 4-point vote, one 2-point vote, R3 last year)
5. Freedom of Choice - 6 (one 4-point vote, one 2-point vote, new this year)
6. Jane - 6 (one 4-point vote, no 2-point votes)
7. Cool Blues - 6 (no 4-point votes, two 3-point votes)
8. Gloria In Excelsis Deo - 6 (no 4-point votes, no 3-point votes)
9. Ghost Love Score - 4 (R3 last year)
10. God's Away on Business - 4 (R2 last year)
Last year's winner easily makes it through, doubling up the second-place song. Many of the others are caught in a logjam at six points, in which Jane (the other defending Top 20 song in the group) is narrowly eliminated.
GROUP 2
1. Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) - 12
2. Gimme Shelter - 11
3. The Sound of Silence - 10
4. Haifisch - 9
5. Innuendo - 7
6. How Deep is Your Love - 6
7. Southern Cross - 5
8. Let it Be - 4 (R2 last year)
9. Big Iron - 4 (R1 last year)
10. School - 2
Remarkably few tiebreakers in this group.
TMT20 ROUND 2 - GROUPS 3 AND 4
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.
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.

Fully agree with Mic'haglh that both groups are pretty stacked, IMO 3 is a proper stack, and a rare case where I actually enjoyed all 10 songs to some degree. 4 is weaker but not by much, I could still see myself giving points to almost all songs.
GROUP 3
4. Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
3. Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
2. Earth, Wind and Fire - September

1. Police - Message in a Bottle
Ok, group 3 is strong, really strong. Stronger than group 4. Many songs deserve many points. I'm sorry about some the songs I dont give points to (especially Walk). That said, there is still no excuse for anyone to leave Knights of Cydonia pointless. >:( Best song from last years top 20. It being on its way to elimination is a crime...

Knights of Cydonia - 4

I was not aware of this outage, although according to the Latest 59, people were posting around the time that the deadline expired (which was yesterday afternoon). In the interest of sticking to TMT precedent, which is to be strict on deadlines (a few years ago, a vote was not counted after it was cast less than two minutes after the deadline), I'm afraid I cannot count your vote.

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.

The first four in group 8 are even stronger than the first four in group 5. Only one point for Marathon is ridiculous. In the end Subdivisions barely wins out, partly because of the on-point lyrics, partly because of the drumming. Marathon still would have scored 4 points in group 7 though. Uprising is very nice, but not quite as exciting as Knights of Cydonia.

So I guess that means we should be seeing the next ones pretty soon...
I will post this tonight or tomorrow
Looks like my 12 pts from last years finals have been eliminated in group 8. Disappointing, because its such a creative song and the live performance is legendary. That said, I'm happy Paranoid Android did make it. Should it make the final next it would be a more than worthy replacement.

TMT20 ROUND 2 - GROUPS 7 AND 8
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).

COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC., IS VERY WELCOME.
Ah finally something important to discuss!!!
Group 9
4. Bob Seger-Old Time Rock and Roll
3. Eagles-Lyin' Eyes
2. Paul McCartney & Eric Clapton-While My Guitar Gently Weeps
1. Bon Jovi-Wanted Dead Or Alive
Group 10
4. Fleetwood Mac-The Chain
3. Queen-Killer Queen
2. The Who-Baba O'Riley
1. Men Without Hats-Safety Dance
The Chain and Rearviewmirror are somewhat similar in a way, starting off nice, although somewhat monotonous, then taking a long time to build up tension and then finally a short breather followed by an epic and very satisfying finale. Of course, the lyrical conclusions are completely opposite. In the chain the realisation is that despite whatever relationship issues the band may have had they are still bound together, whereas in Rearviewmirror the relationship being described was so toxic that leaving it all behind is the only healthy thing to do. I love how as Eddie Vedder sings he saw things clearer, the structure and point of the song also becomes clear to the listener and of course the reeaarvieewmirrrooooooor is so powerful and satisfying.
Anyway,
9:
Street Spirit - 4
Adagio (Aranjuez) - 3
While My Guitar Gently Weeps - 2
Eleanor Rigby - 1
10:
The Universal - 4
The Chain - 3
Rearviewmirror - 2
Man With a Harmonica - 1
Strong group, because sadly I have no points left for Gorillaz. Actually 9 of these are pretty good. Only one weaker song this group.

8. Rearviewmirror - 5 (no 4-point votes, no 3-point votes)
9. The Universal - 4 (one 4-point vote)
10. Safety Dance - 4 (no 4-point votes)
Only two songs in Groups 1-9 got at least 2 PPV; The Chain and Baba O'Riley both did in Group 10 (even though the group was generally regarded as quite strong).
Round 3 coming tomorrow.
Not 100% sure, but it feels like 21 points may be a record in absolute points (outside finals obv). Other than that a slightly disappointing result, but Im glad to see this much consistent participation.
Of the 50 songs advancing to round 3:
-13 (of 20 starting in this year's contest) were in the Top 20 last year
-3 (of 5) were eliminated in R4 last year
-18 (of 25) were eliminated in R3 last year
-13 (of 50) were eliminated in R2 last year
-3 (of 48) are new this year
Compared to last year, new songs are doing much worse (9 new songs made it to round 3 last year).
On a somewhat related note, I have a theory about why newer music tends not to do well in the TMT20. I don't think it's because many of us individually don't like new music, but because we all like different new music. In contrast, I think most of us like the same old music, so the old music is the only music ever popular enough to make the final.
TOP ROUND 2 SONGS BY PPV
1. The Chain - 2.63
2. Sultans Of Swing - 2.29
3. Baba O'Riley - 2.25
4. September - 2.00
5. Bohemian Rhapsody - 1.88
6. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - 1.86
6. Starman - 1.86
8. Crazy Train - 1.75
8. The Devil Went Down to Georgia - 1.75
10. Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) - 1.71
10. Africa - 1.71
10. Message in a Bottle - 1.71
Bolded songs were Top 20 last year. None of these are new nominations; Blue Monday led the new nominations with 1.14 PPV
The Chain and Sultans of Swing took the top two spots in last year's final (although with Sultans of Swing on top). This, combined with the quite bad performance of new nominations, is making me think that the large number of voters is causing a "regression to the mean" in which the historically popular songs all do well and there is no room for a dark horse to make a run based on a few favorable votes.
Flowchart of remaining rounds:
(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).

Group 2 was the death knell for both very new and very old songs:
-Both of the new nominations in Group 2 (Freedom of Choice and Blue Monday) were eliminated. Along with the elimination of Der Kommissar in Group 1, this means that there will be no new nominations in the Top 20. I believe this is the first time this has happened.
-Bohemian Rhapsody will not be in the Top 20 (and indeed, not be in the Top 5) for the first time ever.
Curiously, the cut line was the same for each of the three groups (9), which meant that at least three voters had to give a song points for it to move on.
TMT20 ROUND 3 - GROUPS 4 and 5
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.

Looks like we're heading for yet another disappointing result with only two hours left :(
In other news, I made a playlist of (allmost) all regular tmt nominations since 2015:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6HlnZVMlpgAXNhzkqHg9gY?si=f97ecd72ef8c42c8
A couple songs I couldn't find and then there may be a few where I picked the wrong version, but most should be in here, and it's quite worth listening to on shuffle. Definitely some forgotten gems in there...
Voting on Group 4 is now closed.
1. Lyin' Eyes - 11 (two 4-point votes, R3 PPV = 1.125)
2. Sirius/Eye In The Sky - 11 (two 4-point votes, R3 PPV = 1.000)

8. Fix You - 6 (no 4-point votes)
9. Black Hole Sun - 5
10. Walk - 4
We have now determined which songs will be in this year's top 20. Of these:
-7 were in the Top 20 last year (including last year's top 3)
-1 was eliminated in R4 last year
-8 were eliminated in R3 last year
-4 were eliminated in R2 last year
Baba O'Riley, Down Under, Lyin' Eyes, and September have never been in the Top 20 before.
TMT20 ROUND 5
Round 5 consists of one group of ten songs (the 3rd place song from each of the five groups of Round 3 and the 1st-5th place songs from Round 4). The top five songs advance to the Final. The bottom five receive Ranks #16-#20 of the 2022 TMT20, respectively.
The 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).

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.
COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC., IS VERY WELCOME.
Voted by PM as specified. As usual, a difficult set of choices.

Round 5 Points - 8
Only a few hours left to vote!
The final doesn't have as many obvious favourites for me as previous years. (Missing Once in a Lifetime, Haifisch, Knights of Cydonia, Feel Good Inc, Innuendo, Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors in particular) On the other hand, there are very few weaker songs too. All songs in the final are decent and nearly all of them are good imho. This makes voting extra difficult. I've listened to all the songs many times now this week, but theres still some difficult choices Im not 100% sure about. Don't worry, I will vote soon. Already know the order will be significantly different from how I expected to vote a week ago.
Either way I'm looking forward to the reveal.
Seems like a good time to kick of the prediction game. This too feels more difficult than previous years, as there aren't that many obvious candidates for last place. Still, I would expect (not based on any deep analysis or anything) the following to appear pretty soon:
Prediction (bottom third):
15 - Down Under
14 - Crazy Train
13 - Burnin' For You
12 - On the River
11 - YCAGWYW
Voting is now closed. Songs 11-15 will come out over the next few days, but I'm considering doing a live stream to reveal the top 10 spots.

Five voters (out of seven) gave it at least one point, but two of those gave it exactly one point, and no one gave it more than six.

Participation has been good so far, but I'm really hoping we can somehow get even more people this round (or maybe the return of some earlier participants @Breneir Tzaracomprada @NRB @Eiric S. Bornatfiglheu @Ián Tamorán S.H. @Iason Taiwos ?). This is the round that decides most of what gets into the top 20 after all.
I think this will in a couple more posts be the most replied to thread on witt btw...

What is the plan with regards to the remaining results?

Sorry to keep everyone waiting! Doing results on my phone is pretty clunky and I keep forgetting. I get back from traveling tonight so these will resume.

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing

Previously #8 in 2019, #8 in 2020, and #1 in 2021
Final Round Points - 24
No 12-point votes, no 10-point votes
Remarkably, we have two songs in a row which were nominated by S:da da Schir in 2019 from self-titled albums. Six voters gave the defending champion points, but no one gave it a top-3. The multiple layers of tiebrakers here foreshadow the logjam we are entering (and will not really leave until we get to the top 5).
Zooks! Did not see that coming :o
Telegraph above Sultans 8)

Final Round Points - 24
No 12-point votes, one 10-point vote
Got three top-half votes (including two top-threes) but none of the other voters gave it any points.
Well, my prediction wasn't correct at all...
Not too unhappy about the results so far though, because my top 5 is still intact:

Earth, Wind and Fire - September
https://youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk
Released 1978
From the album The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1
First nominated by Glüc da Dhi in 2021
Final Round Points - 24
One 12-point vote
The lowest-ranked song this year to receive a 12-point vote, but also the highest-ranked out of the songs which have not made the Top 20 before. Besides the 12-point vote, four other voters gave points, but none gave more than five.
2022 TMT20 #9
Blue Öyster Cult - Burnin' For You
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oYsdAbypTk
Released 1981
From the album Fire of Unknown Origin
First nominated by Munditenens Tresplet in 2016
Previously #12 in 2017
Final Round Points - 25
No 12-point votes
This song received a 10-point vote as well three votes between 4 and 6 points. The five-year gap between top-20 appearances is, I believe, tied with Sirius/Eye in the Sky for the longest in TMT20 history.
Not unhappy with the order so far, but quite surprised at just how bad my prediction was. Especially surprised we haven't seen Crazy Train yet. Surely it will be one of the next three...
2022 TMT20 #8

The Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want

No 12-point votes
One second-place vote and two third-place votes, but no points from anyone else. This is not the only song to exclusively get points from top-three votes (the other has not been revealed yet).

Toto - Africa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTQbiNvZqaY

Final Round Points - 26
One 12-point vote
Received points from six out of seven voters, but besides the voter giving 12 points, no one gave it more than six. Four voters gave between 1 and 3 points.
Along with You Can't Always Get What You Want, this is the third set of tiebreaker pairs in which one song got a 12-point vote and the other only got a 10-point vote.

Probably should just give up at this point, but whatever:
5. Crazy Train
4. On the River
3. Telegraph Road
2. The Chain
1. Gimme Shelter
I was too busy to actually come up with a proper prediction (looking at previous results), but i really think I should have seen Crazy Train doing so well coming. It topped its group in round 2 and 3, I just forgot and didn't check back.
My current thinking is Gimme Shelter > Crazy Train > The Chain > On the River > Telegraph Road.

I wonder who that person was...
Honestly though, since a top 5 definitely wasn't on the cards, I'm very happy with a P6.

Dire Straits - 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, #4 in 2020, and #5 in 2021
Final Round Points - 28
Received two second-place votes and one third-place vote, but no points from anyone else. Unsurprisingly it is the highest-ranking song to receive points from fewer than half of the voters.
This is the sixth consecutive year in which Telegraph Road had made the Top 20 (in fact, it has made the Top 10 in all of those years as well). If Telegraph Road makes the Top 20 again next year, it will tie Bohemian Rhapsody's record of most consecutive Top 20s (and Top 10s), set between 2015-2021.
2022 TMT20 #4
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 and #9 in 2021

The only song in the Top 20 this year released after the early 1980s.
2022 TMT20 #3
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 and #2 in 2021
Final Round Points - 34
Received points from all but one voter, including one 8-point votes and three 7-point votes.
So, will Gimme Shelter join Bohemian Rhapsody as a repeat champion, or will the underdog Crazy Train reign supreme?
Lüc is clearly better at predicting than me this year. Hopefully the last bit of his prediction will come true as well...
2022 TMT20 #2
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2VZjE6JdHg
Released 1980
From the album Blizzard of Ozz
First nominated by Ian Plätschisch in 2017
Previously #13 in 2017, #10 in 2018, #19 in 2020, and #19 in 2021
Final Round Points - 37
By far the most divisive song in the final. It received two first-place votes and a second-place vote, but only three points from the other four voters combined. A well-deserved high finish for this staple of the bottom half of the top 20 for years, but it ultimately couldn't overcome #1...
2022 TMT20 #1
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, #1 in 2020, and #3 in 2021
Final Round Points - 41
Recieved a first-place vote, a second-place vote, and four other votes of between three and six points.
Not only does Gimme Shelter join Bohemian Rhapsody as the only songs to win the TMT20 multiple times, but it also joins Bohemian Rhapsody as the only songs to place in the Top 3 four times.
In fact, Gimme Shelter actually beats Bohemian Rhapsody when it comes to consecutive Top 3 finishes; Gimme Shelter has been in the Top 3 every year since 2019, while Bohemain Rhapsody has never managed more than two Top 3s in a row. Also note that Gimme Shelter has ranked higher than Bohemian Rhapsody every year since 2019, just one year after it was first nominated.
With Bohemian Rhapsody missing the Top 20 entirely this year, is it time to declare a new King of the TMT20?
Gimme Shelter ;D
Well deserved winner. Actually the second time the best final song won (first time was Knights).
Many thanks for the organisation Ian!
This would have been the correct order btw:
12 - Gimme Shelter
10 - You Can't Always Get What You Want
8 - Telegraph Road
7 - The Chain
6 - Sweet Dreams
5 - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
4 - Sultans of Swing
3 - Down Under
2 - Africa
1 - On the River
A fitting winner. I just started hearing advertising on the local AAA format FM station recently for Gimme Radio. Gimme has no sponsors and depends exclusively on product sales, including exclusive vinyl, collectible items and enabling listeners to purchase the records which are playing at the moment

Also I feel like I should gloat over my correct top 5 prediction if only because not much else has gone my way in the chatroom recently (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=1528.msg13521#msg13521).
Also I guess a shoutout is due to a few discoveries I made: Elettrochoc, The Alien, Belgie, Sénégal Fast Food, Mork and Mindy, Black Hole Sun, Santé and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few more. Some are hidden gems, some are actual bangers, either way I still find myself replaying them now.
Thanks to the folks who nominated them :)
