A few years ago I did something like this and P5hng Me A*wy was crowned the best Linkin Park song, with A Place For My Head coming second. I think people found it really interesting, so I figured that with the release of Minutes To Midnight, we'd try determining the best Linkin Park song through the process of a democratic election. Here's how it's going to happen: there will be six categories: Category 1: Non-Album/B-Sides/Demos/Collaborations Category 2: Hybrid Theory EP Category 3: Hybrid Theory Category 4: Reanimation Category 5: Meteora Category 6: Minutes To Midnight Each category will have a specific thread devoted to it. A list of songs pertaining to that category will be presented, and round-by-round we will eliminate a set amount of songs until we have a top 3 for each category. For example, in Round 1 of the Non-Album tournament, I may ask you to pick your 10 least favorite songs from that list. After a song gets a certain amount of votes, it will be eliminated. After 10 songs have been eliminated, we'll go to Round 2, where we'll continue to eliminate songs until we have a top 3 for that category. Once we have a Top 18, we'll begin the cycle again. But that's later. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. For now, here are the category threads: Non-Album Songs (Round 1 Finished) Hybrid Theory EP (Top 3 Finalized) Hybrid Theory (Round 1 Finished) Reanimation (Round 1 Finished) Meteora (Round 1 Finished) Minutes To Midnight (Round 1 Finished) Follow those links and I'll briefly elaborate on the process.
The Reanimation thread has been closed, so Round 2 has begun for all categories (except Hybrid Theory EP, which has a top 3 already). Non-Album Songs Hybrid Theory (Top 3 Finalized) Reanimation (Top 3 Finalized) Meteora (Top 3 Finalized) Minutes To Midnight (Top 3 Finalized)
We could use 4-5 more votes in the Hybrid Theory and Non-Album threads so we can move onwards. Reanimation needs one more vote to finalize the top 3. is done. We've reached a top 3 in the Meteora and Minutes To Midnight categories, to go along with the top 3 from Hybrid Theory EP from Round 1. Please vote in the Hybrid Theory and Non-Album threads!
Finally, Round Two is over. A top 3 has been finalized in 5 of the 6 categories. For now, there's only one round left in one category (Non-Album tracks). Eight songs remain, we're going to cut that down to 3. Go: http://www.lpassociation.com/forums/showthread.php?p=667089#post667089
I'm putting the total amount of votes needed to eliminate a song down to 7. There seems to be a lack of interest in Non-Album songs? Go ahead, we need a few more votes to eliminate 4 more songs. http://www.lpassociation.com/forums/showthread.php?p=667089#post667089
