~Rock Band Forums Top 100 Beatles Songs~

[DookieMan]

Read the directions! You do not need to come up with 100 songs!!!! Only 25!!!!

I was recently reading a magazine, which expressed what they believed to be the 50 best Beatles songs. It was a pretty good list, including some of the deeper cuts which surprised me, but I'd really like to see what the community here thinks. This is how all of this will work.

1. Members will send a member of the team (will get to that) their list. This list will include 5 tiers. Each tier will include 5 songs, so 25 total songs each person will pick. Each song in the first tier will be worth 10 points, and each tier below will be worth one point less, making the fifth tier songs worth 6 points.

2. Team members will add up points from the people's lists and eventually add up the final scores. The song with the most points will obviously be number 1.

3. Comments may be made by members about songs. You can add a small snippet to some song choices, and a team member will read them. If they find it particularly powerful, witty, etc., we'll add it to the final list of songs, and of course credit you.

4. Please email your lists to top100beatlessongs@gmail.com. If for some reason you can't use email, feel free to PM me your list and I will gladly add it.

Team Members
1. DookieMan
2. TheBeatleHead
3. fuselage321
Could use some more when, and if, it gets more popular.

I really hope this turns out well, as I think it could be a lot of fun and it'd be great to have a list containing the opinions of all of the community.

Side note...

Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End should be placed as one song.

[TheBeatleHead]

I'd like to volunteer. Wouldn't it be good if we created an e-mail only to receive votes? Like this: top100beatlessongs@gmail.com, for example.

And then every team member would be able to access it.

[DookieMan]

Hm... That probably would be good. Did you already create it? Also, though, how will we know which member is keeping track of which email?

[TheBeatleHead]

Hm... That probably would be good. Did you already create it? Also, though, how will we know which member is keeping track of which email?
No, I didnt create it.

But if the e-mail is read, we'll know it was counted already. To avoid confusion, we should update the score regularly and say which e-mail the score came from. For example.

"Adding superbeatlesfan@hotmail.com votes:

-Insert song ranking here-"

[DookieMan]

So, where will the team members be able to see the updated score? I don't want it to be public, as that would influence the opinions. If public is the only way though, I guess.

[TheBeatleHead]

So, where will the team members be able to see the updated score? I don't want it to be public, as that would influence the opinions. If public is the only way though, I guess.
Maybe we could just send an e-mail to ourselves like this:

Subject: Updated ranking with votes from x, y and z.

-insert ranking here-

Then we would know when was the last time someone updated.

EDIT: I made it. It's top100beatlessongs@gmail.com and I'll PM you the password.

[rad5brandon]

What teams? do we need to form teams together or what?

[DookieMan]

Nah, there's only one team. The team reviews the people's decisions. Everybody else simply make lists on their own.

[fuselage321]

Id like to join the team to help out. I sent you a pm with all of the details.

Thanks and let me know what you decide!:)

[DookieMan]

Thanks, that should be useful. Could you PM me the password?

Also, us three should make lists now, so we don't interfere with the other people's choices.

[fuselage321]

ok, ill get on that.

[DookieMan]

Yeah, I'm making mine right now and sending it to the email address.

[fuselage321]

Oh, my bad.

I forgot to send it to the email address.

I sent it to you, Dookieman. Can you send it for me?

Sorry. My emails is messed up, so I have to improvise.

[DookieMan]

Okay, that's fine.

[fuselage321]

Can you pm me how to get to that email and all of the password and stuff?

If you can, Thanks!:)

[TheBeatleHead]

Oh, I noticed an issue. You said that the first tier gets 10 points and the fifth gets 5 right? But if so, you're going to have to skip a point in one of them, or it'll stay like this:

1st tier - 10
2nd tier - 9
3rd tier - 8
4th tier - 7
5th tier - 6

I sent you guys the passwords.

[fuselage321]

Thanks TheBeatlesHead!

IS the main page in spanish because you are spanish(or whatever country the language is from?

[fuselage321]

So, which one of us is going to compile the big list?

[Wave57]

I'd like to join the team.

[TheBeatleHead]

Thanks TheBeatlesHead!

IS the main page in spanish because you are spanish(or whatever country the language is from?
Oh, it's in portuguese, cause I'm brazilian.

I'm counting the votes so far.

[fuselage321]

Cool! Ive never read Portuguese. Ill manage.

[fuselage321]

Very well, DookieMan

[TheBeatleHead]

Okay. I'm trying to make a graph on Excel to make work easier, but this damn thing sucks. But I'll get around it.

[fuselage321]

I know what you mean.

[DookieMan]

Sorry guys, but can you let some things such as people joining the team go by me? Thanks.

Also, if you can read English, could you change the language to English?

And yes, my mistake about the tier points. Last tier will actually be 6.

Also, I'll keep track too, simply using Microsoft Works.

[fuselage321]

Ok, so can wave57 join the team?

[DookieMan]

I don't know yet. If we could use him later on, sure.

[fuselage321]

Ok.

BTW, wait, never mind.

[Snookeroo]

Good luck with this project you guys. It's cool of you to take it upon yourselves to find out the opinions of this community. If you need any help later on, by all means ask me. I'm compiling my list right now, and can't wait to see the results. :)

[Taxman999253]

Say the word, and I'll send my list!

[DookieMan]

You guys don't need permission to send lists. :P Send them away.

Great to see you guys participating. Hopefully most of the rest of the forum will notice this too.

[MostSpartan14]

Quick Question. Do the singles (FAAB and RL) and Love and Anthology songs count? I think they should because, though they may not be high on the list, they are worth mentioning because some of them are really good or better than the original songs.

[Taxman999253]

Just to make sure, this is the email, right?

top100beatles@gmail.com

[rockfresh126]

My dad and I actually just did something like this, after seeing that list of ALL the Beatles songs. I'll look up what we did and e-mail you our results

[DookieMan]

Just to make sure, this is the email, right?

top100beatles@gmail.com

top100beatlessongs@gmail.com

Yes, those songs will count, though I'd use them with caution.

[ArchangelZero]

I'll join the team. BTW, what happened to the old thread?

[DookieMan]

I'll join the team. BTW, what happened to the old thread?

Those were just ideas, but this is the official thread for actually sending in your lists.

Also, I'll let you join once this becomes (hopefully) more populace.

[MrRepublic]

This is a pretty cool idea, I'll make a list soon.

[DookieMan]

Thanks guys, more lists would be great. Songs are still in the low numbers, but I really like how the list is turning out. There are some real surprises, and it's not like there are a few songs completely dominating... yet. I'll tell you this much, Strawberry Fields Forever is currently winning.

[JoeLUFC4eva]

why not spend all this time playing the beatles rock band or actually go outside in the real world

[MostSpartan14]

Someone want to answer this question for me? I'm mostly worried about Anthology songs.

[ArchangelZero]

Someone want to answer this question for me? I'm mostly worried about Anthology songs.

I think it was decided upon in the old thread that "Free As a Bird" and "Real Love" would be the only ones that count.

However, I'm not so sure about any of the Love songs.

[DookieMan]

Someone want to answer this question for me? I'm mostly worried about Anthology songs.

I answered it, and it was yes. I just warned you about using them, as they may not turn out to be too helpful.

[MrRepublic]

Oh, and by the way... Would you prefer the list as a word doc or just typed out?

[fuselage321]

Just type it into your email.

[MrRepublic]

Cool, I'll do that tomorrow, going to bed now

[DookieMan]

Have gotten several lists today, I thank you all. Keep em coming! Your help is greatly appreciated.

[the_ted]

You have my submission!

[DookieMan]

I'm currently reviewing your submission, the_ted. Thank you.

[Teh_Jakester]

When will this be ending, out of curiosity?

[DookieMan]

It won't be for a while. I don't have a date at all and I probably won't make one until there are many, many, many votes.

[MrRepublic]

I've sent my list now.

[DookieMan]

I reviewed it, and thank you.

Man, there's some domination going on here... Hopefully it turns out better than it's starting.

[LimaoxD]

I've sent my list now².

[DookieMan]

Just to let people know...

Strawberry Fields Forever, Something, and A Day In the Life are definitely safe. Definitely.

[elitemastersam]

In My Life better be on the list.

[Taxman999253]

In My Life better be on the list.

This.
Srsly.

[DookieMan]

Yeah, I'm hoping that too. It has a higher than average score, but it's nothing near the dominating dogs.

[fuselage321]

I have a message for all who sent in their votes already:

I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselfs and I hope we passed the audition.

No, sereously, thanks for sending your votes in. It has been really fun seeing the opinions of the community on here.

And ps, If Doctor Robert isn't in the top 50, im gonna turn into Maxwell.

[Nalliac]

Just sent in my votes. Sounds like you guys think we're getting predictable, and I suppose we might be, I had Strawberry Fields in my top tier too.

[DookieMan]

It's a little predictable, but it's worth it to see when somebody picks a personal favorite or if there's an oddball in there. Honestly, it's mostly just the mentioned songs I'm sick of, and I'll be honest, I included those all on my list too, so I can't say ****.

[PleasePleaseMeat]

I've sent in my list.

Revolution in Tier 1, because it was probably my first Beatles song.

[DookieMan]

Thanks, I'll count it now. :)

Honestly though, I'm just a tad disappointed at how it's coming out. It's turning out like any old top 50 list, maybe with even less originality. The only lesser known song that seems to have a chance is Hey Bulldog. I'm also incredibly surprised by a few things, like...

Can't Buy Me Love with only one vote.

Tomorrow Never Knows with only one, I thought it was popular around here?

Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds with only two last tier votes.

I Am the Walrus with about 30 points total, while others have in the 90s. I always considered it overrated, but it dominated in the TBRB best song polls, and I'm really surprised not many have voted for it.

I Feel Fine with one vote.

Not to sound completely pessimistic, though. I've also seen many songs that have gotten quite a few votes, but it's just unfortunate of the big dogs taking over, which I thought wouldn't be as much of a problem initially.

[Erniewan]

I sent my list. :D
My tastes are a bit out of the norm (towards the calm, cheerful songs) so hopefully I can throw some variety in the mix.

[DookieMan]

Anyone care any more? :P

[PleasePleaseMeat]

Does anyone else think this should be stickied? It's an important survey for Beatles fans.

I'm only posting this to get it to the top, really. I think it's a really great idea, and want to see the results soon.

I'm putting my money on A Day In The Life.

[DookieMan]

Thanks for the support. I just really wish more members would notice this and see how good it might turn out.

[fuselage321]

I still care DookieMan. I kindof have to though.....:p

[Teh_Jakester]

I care, I'm just holding off voting until after I get the boxset (Tuesday hooray), so I can vote more accurately.

[elitemastersam]

I will be a little disappointed if Hey Jude wins.

[Teh_Jakester]

I will be a little disappointed if Hey Jude wins.

I wouldn't. It's an amazing song, and deserves to win, despite not being my favourite.

[fuselage321]

Well right now, Hey Jude isn't in the top three, so Huray for elietemastersam!

[yaniv297]

sent mine

[fuselage321]

Thank You yaniv297

[DookieMan]

Thanks man. Please guys, we need just a bit more participation.

[fuselage321]

Yes, IF YOU SEE THIS, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR POST ASAP. I KNOW SOME OF YOU DONT WANT TO GIVE US YOUR EMAIL, SO PM IT TO ONE OF US AND WE WILL EMAIL IT FOR YOU.

PLEASE!

[Taxman999253]

I really do hope more people pay attention to this. It's always interesting to see the (hopefully) varied opinions of everyone.

Come on people, submit!

[DookieMan]

Hey Jude is currently #4, and the top 3 are very close to each other and dominated everything else.

[instantdeath999]

I might do this later. Most of my favorite Beatles songs are John songs, but I'll probably try to have an equal amount of John and Paul songs, and at least one George song.

[Erniewan]

I will be more disappointed if A Day in the Life wins... it wasn't even in my Top 25.

[Jerkinator]

Gonna send one in a minute, cool idea!

[instantdeath999]

I will be more disappointed if A Day in the Life wins... it wasn't even in my Top 25.

Replace A Day in the Life with Hey Jude and I'd feel the same way :). I love A Day in the Life, however... the song I'm most looking forward to from the announced albums.

[bobellis75]

just sent my list via the email address...looking forward to the results!

[fuselage321]

Thanks again guys!:)

[DookieMan]

Got 4 to count today, that's the most I ever had to count at once. That's great. Thanks guys.

I just counted those 4. Must say, some songs got a huge boost from just those. I just hope you guys know that your opinion truly does change things here.

[MostSpartan14]

Just out of curiosity, how many submissions did you guys get so far? This thread has almost 2000 views but I highly doubt you got that many submissions.

[fuselage321]

Bumpy Bumpy Bump!

[DookieMan]

We've gotten maybe 20?

[the_ted]

i'd like to see a lot of commentary, especially on the top tracks, so y'all should say a few words on your track of choice, if possible.

[Teh_Jakester]

I just sent mine. Hope it got through.

[DookieMan]

I'd like to see some commentary too. Only one person has so far. :(

Thanks, Teh_Jakester. I'm counting it now. You're the first in the past three days. :(

[fuselage321]

Yeah, this is not turning out as good as we had all hoped. Still, we could get a surge soon. We should advertize in the other sections:)

[Wave57]

I really think that this is a cool thing to do.
P.S. How is "There's a place" doing?

[TheBeatleHead]

I really think that this is a cool thing to do.
P.S. How is "There's a place" doing?
I put it in my Top Tier. =D

[DookieMan]

There's A Place isn't doing great. Your vote can help. :D

[the_ted]

*bump*

[Wave57]

I put it in my Top Tier. =D

Me too. =D
I love that song. If you haven't heard of it please do, it's amazing.

[TheRollingBones]

How's Across The Universe doing? I absolutely love that song, and I hope it does great in the list!

[DookieMan]

It's not doing so great. Help it out by voting.

[chalmers786]

I just did my vote :)
Hope it helps!

[fuselage321]

Thanks chalmers786!:)

[DookieMan]

Thank you, I counted it.

[TheRollingBones]

I'll be submitting my top 100 songs soon! Just putting some finishing touches on the list.

[BubbleBobble]

ok

maybe if this were a top 20 list, it wouldn't be as ridiculous

how can you seriously rank a top 100 list? could you actually come up with a list that you could memorize, because I know darn well that I couldn't come up with a top 100 and then come up with the list again without seeing it - which is kind of pointless imo

that being said

give me a top 1 - and my vote is "Rain" :)

[DookieMan]

Read the rules. Nobody is memorizing anything here. Nobody is making their own top 100, just top 25. Scores will be collected, and the highest scoring songs will be ranked the highest.

[TheRollingBones]

Wait... were only supposed to make a 25 song list? Oh... that makes things a lot easier!

[TheBeatleHead]

I just did my vote :)
Hope it helps!
Thank you, (supernintendo) chalmers786! =p

[DookieMan]

Wait... were only supposed to make a 25 song list? Oh... that makes things a lot easier!

If only people read the directions.

[fuselage321]

I know.

No offence to anyone, but in school, nobody reads the directions and always do something wrong. I admit to it too.......

[the_ted]

so how's this doing?

[DookieMan]

Haven't had a new one in a while. Seems people are aware, but aren't motivated enough to make a list. Half of them probably aren't even looking at the rules.

[the_ted]

about how many submissions so far?

[DookieMan]

Maybe around 20?

[hannie3000]

I've been meaning to make my list, but it's so hard to choose D:

[yaniv297]

When are the results coming?

My guess: A Day In The Life will be number one.

[allanon645]

I got my list sent!

[fuselage321]

Thanks allanon.

[allanon645]

I suppose I could help if you needed me. (carefully hidden bump)

[fuselage321]

Very good allanon:)

[DookieMan]

I don't think we need special help. The best help we can get right now is simply more lists.

[TheRollingBones]

My list is finally done, along with some comments for several songs, like you asked for in the rules. Hope you appreciate it!

[californication]

Finally got around to finishing and submitting my list. After much consideration, I put In My Life as my #1, closely followed by Strawberry Fields Forever and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

[fuselage321]

This IS NOT a bump up to the first page........

[Jenny_Bug123]

I want Hey Jude!

[TheRollingBones]

This IS NOT a bump up to the first page........

What do you mean?

[StrawberryFieldsForever]

I want Hey Jude!

(Replica of Jenny Bug's post.)

[DookieMan]

I'm so sorry guys, I haven't been counting these for a while. I guess I stopped checking for a few days when it was really slow. I'll be counting them in the next two days. Tell others about this!

[fuselage321]

This is another not bump.

[PleasePleaseMeat]

I'm sure it's not.

[fuselage321]

No, it really wasnt:o

[TheRollingBones]

This is another not bump.

What does that mean? What does bump mean here??

[fuselage321]

A bump is when you push up a thread before it falls into extinction, it is a risk of ban, so I do not bump anything.

[TheRollingBones]

A bump is when you push up a thread before it falls into extinction, it is a risk of ban, so I do not bump anything.

Oh, so like posting something randomly to push it up to the top of the recently posted line. OK gotcha

[DookieMan]

A bump is when you push up a thread before it falls into extinction, it is a risk of ban, so I do not bump anything.

Seriously? Atleast think of something good to say then, rather than "this is not a bump".

[fuselage321]

Sorry, DookieMan, I just couldn't think fo something else to say.


:o

[TheRollingBones]

Sorry, DookieMan, I just couldn't think fo something else to say.


:o

So they were basically bumps that you didn't want to call bumps hey? :cool:

[TheBeatleHead]

Man, all this bumping is tiring me...

[TheRollingBones]

OK, so nevermind the bumping/not bumping. Just get back to discussing the list and everything.

So when is the final list going to be out on the forums? Will you put it out after a certain date, or once you get a certain amount of submissions, or what?

[fuselage321]

I dont think DookieMan is ready to release that information.

Na, Im just kidding. We are not sure when we will end it. We had a small surge of entries and now we only get about one every week.

[DookieMan]

I probably won't even start an end date until people actually start submitting.

[TheRollingBones]

I probably won't even start an end date until people actually start submitting.

Why don't you just make an amount of submissions you want before you make the list. Like "We will make a list once we get 100 submissions" or something.

Also, if you want more subs, just get people to put the link in their signatures. Especially you 3 on the team. I will try too also if you want me to.

[bek_____2]

Sent my list, hope Hey Jude don't win.

Oh cool! Not my top 5 at all, but a few were in my list somewhere too! :)

[fuselage321]

I will advertize in my signature. Thanks for the idea, TheRollingBones:D

[DookieMan]

I will advertize in my signature. Thanks for the idea, TheRollingBones:D

Maybe if you put a URL to make it easier for those people?

[fuselage321]

It wont let me...........

i dont know why........

[JoyDivision]

Sent you mine

I really hope All you Need is love is up there

[TheRollingBones]

It wont let me...........

i dont know why........

I know it's weird you can't put links in your sig, but just go to Tiny URL.com and make a link to the thread that will be... tiny. Then put that in your sig, and people can just copy the link into their URL bar and go.

[DookieMan]

Yeah, you guys can make stuff public if you want.

And by the way, Hey Jude has a good amount of votes but it probably isn't even in the top three right now.

I'm now all caught up, and have everything counted.

[Snookeroo]

Just curious, have there been songs not put on anyone's list yet that are surprising to you? As in, you're shocked to see no one has voted for them.

[the_ted]

i'd just like to say that "what goes on" is a very enjoyable song and you should all vote for it.

[DookieMan]

Just curious, have there been songs not put on anyone's list yet that are surprising to you? As in, you're shocked to see no one has voted for them.

I can't think of any as of now, but often I will get a vote that no one has voted for yet and will be surprised at that.

[bek_____2]

how's the list going dookieman?

[the_ted]

let's set a solid deadline. even if there's only 10 or 15 lists that should make for a pretty complete package i'd think; no reason to leave this unresolved forever.

[allanon645]

let's set a solid deadline. even if there's only 10 or 15 lists that should make for a pretty complete package i'd think; no reason to leave this unresolved forever.

I agree, i'm actually quite curious about how this turns out.

[DookieMan]

Hm... when do you guys think will be good?

I really wish more people participated.

[Zooropa]

I think you should have this done by Xmas Eve, maybe it could be your present! :P

[TheRollingBones]

Yeah! Say put it out on Xmas morning. How 'bout it Dookieman?

[californication]

I'm very curious about the list, I hope it's not all Beatles Rock Bands songs though.

[bobellis75]

So did we never get the list? I sent my songs in a while back...just curious to see how it all shakes out.

[TheRollingBones]
