Rank Each Song *Official Survey*

Yupp, already.

So, i'd love to have us all rank each song, from 1st (the best) to 11th (worst). But we can't really do that with the built in poll tools on ants.. so i made a survey:

    Results so far from the survey I created (see the signature). Have 41 responses. Overall the most liked songs, from first to last:

    Numbers in parentheses are the total of everyone's rankings together, so you can see how close some songs are.

    No surprise, but the two longest songs on the album were much preferred by Ants.

    1. Drunken Soldier (97)
    2. Snow Outside (129)
    3. Broken Things (146)
    4. The Riff (154)
    5. Belly Belly Nice (159)
    6. Sweet (190)
    7. Rooftop (211)
    8. If Only (220)
    9. Mercy (226)
    10. Gaucho (261)
    11. Belly Full (290)

    So far If Only is my least favorite. I don't really want to rank them on first impressions. I'll rank them in a couple weeks.

    Screw it. I'm just going to rank them when I'm finally done ranking the album.

    I tried...I can't rank them, because I feel like I'm slighting so many songs when I truly love them.

    I'm not ready to make it official but after 3 listens.....

    1. Drunken Soldier
    2. Broken Things
    3. Mercy
    4. The Riff
    5. Snow Outside
    6. Sweet
    7. Belly Belly Nice
    8. Belly Full
    9. Gaucho
    10. If Only
    11. Rooftop

    I think If Only and Rooftop are by far the two weakest tracks.

    1. Broken Things

    3. Drunken Soldier
    4. Belly Belly
    5. Mercy
    6. If Only
    7. Sweet
    8. Rooftop
    9. Belly Full
    10. The Riff
    11. Gaucho

    Gaucho blows and I can't get into the Riff at all. But the other nine are all pretty solid and Broken Things is amazing, definitely a top 10 DMB song for me. Snow Outside and Drunken Soldier are probably top 25-30

    The main place I differ with most of you is on If Only. I freakin dig If Only. I know it's kinda repetitive. But i love the groove. Reminds me of some of the unreleased songs we've gotten over the years. I can't pinpoint just one, but it just does.

    I feel the same way. I have the same problem trying to rank my top DMB songs too, just doesn't seem fair.

    I don't think its that people don't like Gaucho, there are just so many good songs on this album that it gets pushed to the bottom by default. Its still good i think.

    After 150 surveys taken (the max I got for free), overall, here the most liked songs, from first to last:

    Numbers in parentheses are the total of everyone's rankings together, so you can see how close some songs are.

    No surprise, but the two longest songs on the album were much preferred by Ants. In addition, the number in brackets shows where the rankings changed, if at all, from when I pulled the results really early in September.

    1. Drunken Soldier (429) [0]
    2. Snow Outside (519) [0]
    3. Broken Things (571) [0]
    4. The Riff (808) [0]
    5. Belly Belly Nice (827) [0]
    6. Rooftop (890) [up 1 spot]
    7. If Only (971) [up 1 spot]
    8. Mercy (1073)[up 1 spot]
    9. Sweet (1075) [dropped 3 spots]
    10. Gaucho (1233) [0]
    11. Belly Full (1312) [0]

    Notice the major difference between #'s 1-3 and #4. There is major consensus on those first 3 songs as being the best.

    YES! This is exactly my sentiment. It grooves so well!
