KATE BUSH TOP 40 - new Kate Rate

[Sto]

OK, well this is just a mini-project whilst we wait for me to finish my exams and start a proper new game! I nicked this idea from a forum about another artist, so sorry to them, but it's a good idea!

All you have to do is list your favourite 27 Kate Bush songs. The scoring is the same as the Eurovision song contest, for those who've seen it: your favourites get 12 points, then your 2nd favourites get 10 points, then your 3rd favourites get 8 points, etc.

You can award each set of points to 3 songs. So you can give 12 points each to 3 songs, and 10 points each to three other songs, and 8 points each to 3 songs, etc.

So for example, using random songs (these are not my favourites! ), you might go:

12 points: Fullhouse, Deeper Understanding, Rocket's Tail
10 points: Room For The Life, Under Ice, Running Up That Hill
8 points: You're The One, Rubberband Girl, Waking The Witch
6 points: Love And Anger, Lily, Hounds Of Love
5 points: Pull Out The Pin, The Fog, Babooshka
4 points: The Sensual World, Wuthering Heights, Experiment IV
3 points: You Want Alchemy, The Dreaming, Hammer Horror
2 points: Reaching Out, The Infant Kiss, Breathing
1 point: Oh To Be In Love, The Red Shoes, Walk Straight Down The Middle

You can include b-sides and live tracks, as well as collaborations.

If that doesn't make sense, let me know

I tried something like this, oh, maybe over a year ago. I wanted everyone to PM me with the albums ranked, and the songs ranked within them. I was to assign points based on how the songs ranked and submit a final list of all officially released tracks. I never did get enough response to come to real conclusion about our tastes.

Maybe you will be able to from this, more streamlined approach. I will submit mine as soon as I get a chance. Thanks Sto for reviving the game!

Hi Sto, I think there's a few of us who still haven't logged in here. for various reasons. Could you see to extend a bit and we'll try to be sure that your efforts don't get buried here?

But, personally, I'd not like to see any more results... since it does effect my choices and maybe some others. And, I'd like a little suspense and surprise in the end!
