FoolFantastic 06/04/23 10:33:42 AM #1:	competitive week (firefdr vs NFUN): Planet X - Moonbabies vs. The Who - Tommy Previous results can be seen here: https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks_Set_2 https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks_Set_3 The rules: 1. Listen to the album in full 2. Rank every track on the album 3. For the results, there will be a curve at the top of each list; two additional points between #1 and #2, and one additional point for the next two ranks. This way, the songs that really stick out to someone get an edge that is not immediately negated by someone else putting it lower. In the case of Demon Days, someone's 15th track will get 1 point, 14th 2 points, 4th 12 points, 3rd 14 points, 2nd 16 points, and 1st 19 points. For albums with greater than 15 tracks, everything ranked below #15 will be given 0 points and the scale for the top 15 will be the same as a 15-track album. For albums with more than 20 tracks, you only have to list your top 15 (with 16-20, I still like having the average rank listed) 4. If you want to include comments for individual songs, I will compile them in the results 5. The results will be posted at the beginning of the next topic 6. The deadline to vote is Sunday, June 11 at 4:00 PM Central Time; the future week poll will close earlier, when I am putting up the next topic 7. You can sign up to be added to the user cycle (a new user will be added to the end of the current cycle as long as there are four weeks remaining) - the next person on the list will choose 3 albums which the other users will vote on for the next topic. 7a. To ensure people are being given an actual choice, the three nominated albums must be by different artists. You can otherwise stick to a similar sound or era. 7b. The tiebreaker for these polls will be whichever is listed first in the poll options - make sure to deliver the results in order of your own preference (which will hopefully have the added benefit of influencing people toward your first choice if they can't decide). 7c. I have added a tiered vote structure - the least popular album will be removed and its backup votes distributed to the other two entrants. 8. Starting with the next cycle, every four weeks will be a competitive week where those listed choose a single album to face off against others. 9. Skits and tracks under 40 seconds will be excluded from the rankings unless argued otherwise Queen - A Night at the Opera track list: 1. Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...) 2. Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon 3. I'm in Love With My Car 4. You're My Best Friend 5. 39 6. Sweet Lady 7. Seaside Rendezvous 8. The Prophet's Song 9. Love of My Life 10. Good Company 11.

BlueCrystalTear 06/05/23 2:58:02 PM #7:	I nominated this because Queen was absolutely a band we needed to cover at some point, despite the unevenness of this album. There's some good shit on this album - the really good shit - but also some songs that feel more like filler than they should. Even so, the album weaves together nicely, through various styles without anything feeling jarring. And that's what makes it enjoyable. That and, well, Freddie Mercury was a demigod. Bohemian Rhapsody - It's Bohemian Fuckin' Rhapsody. Come on. Freddie's opus will be remembered forever. You're My Best Friend - An awesome ballad. Shows that you need to be friends first, lovers second. '39 - Weird science is awesome. It's quite the epic Brian May offering, and you don't need to be Einstein to realize it's about a glitch in the time-space continuum. Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...) - One of the biggest, baddest "fuck you" songs there is. Love of My Life - Romantic AF. Just pouring his heart out when she's leaving (Freddie was with a woman at this time). Hits hard. Hits home. Good stuff. Seaside Rendezvous - This is what a good, catchy album track sounds like. Good Company - The weirdest thing is that this has no Freddie at all. It feels like the kind of thing you'd hear at a small-town bar, this everyone-knows-everyone vibe and the aging man passes on wisdom about life to the next generation. It's also catchy. I'm in Love With My Car - The album's Roger Taylor vocal, it's one of his signature pieces for the band. It's also obvious joke material even though it wasn't a joke. The Prophet's Song - It's great, but it goes on a little too long. The repetitive bits (that I presume Raetsel and HBJ hated) are the worst culprit as to why it's this low. Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon - It's only a minute long. It feels like it should be twice that. God Save the Queen - Feels unnecessary to me, but it's a cool arrangement for the Brits regardless. Spoilers ~~God didn't save the Queen. RIP.~~ Sweet Lady - I'm with Margaret. "Double meh" is right. --- Come check out my movie watchthrough topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80167031 <cite>BlueCrystalTear posted [p:973944833] in Rank the T...

RuneterranSnap 06/05/23 5:19:32 PM #10:	One of my favorite albums of all time, with a LOT of nostalgia for me since it's my first Queen album. Sweet Lady - This is the song that made me fall in love with Brian May and guitar in general. It may not be the best but those chords at the start live in my heart. Prophet's Song - Bare personal favorite over BoRh Bohemian Rhapsody - Don't think this needs any justification Seaside Rendevous - Such a good, catchy song, and unique to boot. Death on Two Legs - I love me some truly hard Queen 39 - A Brian May special and incredibly underrated I'm in Love With My Car - I used to not like this song but it grew on me Good Company - Take care of those you call your own <3 Love of My Life - Find myself randomly singing this occasionally Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon - It's alright, just never been my favorite You're My Best Friend - Ditto this, fun to sing but Queen has done it better God Save The Queen - Never really cared for it --- Joyrock/DSFlashlight/OctilIery <cite>RuneterranSnap posted [p:973947909] in Rank the T...

SeabassDebeste 06/05/23 5:20:57 PM #11:	I love Queen's style - they're just so goddamn extra and melodramatic and campy and of course Freddie Mercury has one of the GOAT singing voices. Bohemian Rhapsody Rightfully one of the most famous songs of all time. Was expecting it to feel overplayed, but man it hits fucking hard. 39 Would probably be my #1 Queen song if it had a higher lyrics-to-instrumentals ratio. It's still pretty close to that. Love of My Life Similarly would've loved a higher ratio of vocals to instrumentals here - what's there is incredible. Good Company Fun AF.

Nothing's bad but everything kinda bleeds together HBJDubs: It's listenable, but I don't have any feelings in particular about this album. Seanchan: The only thing worse than a boring album is a long boring album. Two listens was all I could take. On to next week! ChichiriMuyo: Darkest Days may simply be the most appropriate title for an album ever. Sorry if it was a bummer for some of you. I actually knew a guy, he dated my sister, and he met the lead singer of the band. He called him "whiney." Dude bought vip backstage tickets to meet the band that made this album and he thought the song writer would be, what, cheery? As I've aged, a bit the angstiness of the lyrics doesn't do it for me as much as when the album was new, but the industrial beats for most of the songs still hit where it counts for me. MaxGalactica: The synths and industrial percussion really made this album for me. I do think it's about 4 songs too long though. Definitely felt like it was dragging over the back half, especially with the general song quality going down in the second half. Also You Complete Me has been stuck in my head for a few days now. Great song. Darkest Days track ranking 16.

Nothing's bad but everything kinda bleeds together HBJDubs: It's listenable, but I don't have any feelings in particular about this album. Seanchan: The only thing worse than a boring album is a long boring album. Two listens was all I could take. On to next week! ChichiriMuyo: Darkest Days may simply be the most appropriate title for an album ever. Sorry if it was a bummer for some of you. I actually knew a guy, he dated my sister, and he met the lead singer of the band. He called him "whiney." Dude bought vip backstage tickets to meet the band that made this album and he thought the song writer would be, what, cheery? As I've aged, a bit the angstiness of the lyrics doesn't do it for me as much as when the album was new, but the industrial beats for most of the songs still hit where it counts for me. MaxGalactica: The synths and industrial percussion really made this album for me. I do think it's about 4 songs too long though. Definitely felt like it was dragging over the back half, especially with the general song quality going down in the second half. Also You Complete Me has been stuck in my head for a few days now. Great song.Darkest Days track ranking16. Goodbye (Track #12)Score: 23 (Average Rank: 12.71/16)Biggest Fan(s): HBJDubs (#6)Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin, MaxGalactica, FoolFantastic (#16)15.

The Prophet's Song God Save the Queen An interesting album but not a favorite of mine. Obviously Bohemian Rhapsody is a stone cold classic. There's other good songs as well but it's not a consistently great album.

It's a neat trick hearing this angry and vengeful track in Queen's operatic style, especially as the intro is so cool and the next song is a complete tonal shift.
