The Who - Baba O'Riley

Well there's a big surprise already. I had put Baba O'Riley down as a potential dark horse.

Six voters gave it points, but no one gave it more than five. Five voters gave it between three and five points.

FYI I'm traveling without my laptop for the next week or so, so I don't have the file with the songs' original nominations.

Men at Work - Down Under

Iac Marscheir, 2018
Previously: R3, R3, R3, R3

[NRB]

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...

my bad, dog

[Glüc]

What is the plan with regards to the remaining results?

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.

I am still considering revealing the top 10 on a live stream but I'm not sure

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, #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).

[Glüc]

Zooks! Did not see that coming :o

Telegraph above Sultans  8)

Sadly I wouldnt be. :(

US evenings are too late for me to still be awake these days. (Although as it happens this wednesday I wouldnt be able to attend even if it was earlier, so it doesn't really matter)

Simon and Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence

First nominated by Lüc da Schir in 2018
Previously #7 in 2020

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.

[Glüc]

Well, my prediction wasn't correct at all...

Not too unhappy about the results so far though, because my top 5 is still intact:

5 - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
4 - Sultans of Swing
3 - Down Under



0 - Baba O'Riley

0 - The Sound of Silence

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.
