Very few surprises, I felt, overall.
 
You made a little mistake with 'The angel'...
Anyway : Great Job ! [!--emo&:)--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'smile.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

I've not voted for 'The Apparition' : I'll try to save this song. [!--emo&:D--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
Things people do on a boring rainy afternoon!

I don't make mistakes.

The lower ranked songs, especially, only have between 4-6 votes. Just cause you don't like a song doesn't mean you shouldn't vote for it!

And yup. It's a rainy afternoon here, Mav.
 
Oh, Mav. Would it be possible to start topics in each forum to rank the album itself overall?
 
I suppose we could do that and laugh at the discrepancies between the album ratings and the average of the ratings of the songs on the albums... [!--emo&^_^--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/happy.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'happy.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
Right, but the album rating would reflect on the mood of the album, the continuity, the flow...
 
Looks good, except, aren't we still on the STAR system? all those .84s and .73s can't be fit. it would be 4 stars and half of the 5th wouldn't it? I don't know, it's not a rainy afternoon here but it is boring!
 
Here is the average album ranking based on the results above. (+ the current ranking of ‘No More Lies’...)


1 eq - Somewhere in Time : 4,33
1 eq - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son : 4,33
3 - The X Factor : 4,29
4 - Powerslave : 4,27
5 - Brave New World : 4,26

Very very interesting !

I like these rankings.

Cheers
 
Maybe the list should be sent to Maiden for their next setlist?
Until then, however, I've got to get more people to give 'The Evil That Men Do' five star ratings [!--emo&:p--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
You have to vote on the polls forum.

I'm still surprised to see To Tame A Land so high.

Cheers
 
not really,few people have voted since then, five more votes won't change the results dramatically

I wanted to do this in a few days to see if there are some changes.

But why don't you do it yourself ? [!--emo&;)--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/wink.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'wink.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Why can't this be done automatically ? The poll data is stored in a database. So it's just a matter of getting the data from the database and presenting it. A simple PHP script should be able to do that. No need for manual updating. You can even throw some additional stuff in like average song rating for each album.

I'm not clever enough with this kind of programming, and Real World's got enough on his plate.

Right. Redone it all based on today's rankings. Some big surprises, look for the huge shifts in songs like Sign of the Cross (huge for a top 10 song), and some massive drops like Alexander the Great. The brackets to the side of the song represent first change in position, then change in average rating. Songs without data in brackets weren't on the original list.
