PunBB

Once again, thanks to everyone for participating.

I know it's not always practical or realistic to rank songs against one another but it's all in good fun and can often be very entertaining. I always find it fascinating how Hip fans break things down.

If you break the rankings down into groups of 3, I found the following results quite interesting.

-Escape was ranked in the top three 85% of the time and never fell below 6th.

-Escape and Penguin were the only 2 songs never to rank in the bottom 3.

-Poets was very consistent and ranked in the middle of the pack(4-9) 80% of the time. It only landed in the bottom 3 once.

-Save The Planet and Fireworks were the only songs to never crack the top 3. Fireworks found itself in the bottom three 60% of the time.

-BobC and Vapour Trails seemed to have the biggest swings. Both found themselves in the top three 35% of the time but also landed in the bottom three 20% of the time.

couldn't rank 'em, bc PP is by far my favorite hip album of all time. especially the rules and membership. it takes all kinds i suppose.

1. Chagrin Falls
2. Something On
3. Save The Planet
4. Emperor Penguin
5. Vapour Trails
6. Escape Is At Hand For The Travellin' Man
7. Membership
8. Bobcaygeon
9. The Rules
10. Poets
11. Fireworks
12. Thompson Girl

you should do this for the other albums as well - it would be interesting to see for albums such as M@W and IBE where there seems to be a great degree of variation among fans with respect to favorites.

I always wanted to put together a disc that was the best #1, #2, #3, etc, but never did.

Grace Too vs Gift Shop vs Courage and so on.
Something On vs Tiger the Lion vs Honey, Please and so on.

How would your album look?
I guess that's another thread...don't recall seeing one in the recent past, might have to search if there is one.

Based on the results of those who participated, here is how Phantom Power would look if the songs were ranked from most popular to least popular. Next to each song is it's overall average ranking.

Honourable mention to the ranking of "The silence between songs" and "Colonoscopy". Very funny stuff.
