I suppose it's no surprise as this is the elite list, but this has been the toughest list so far. There at least another 20 or so songs that would normally have had no problem making the top 20. And any of this top 20 would normally be a #1 contender.

The songs that qualify for the Top 200, take their average (Points scored divided by number of posters who played i.e 200 / 40 = 5.000) into their respective Semi Final.

 

Each Semi Final consists of 50 songs mixed up from the various decades for you to vote on. Where in the 4 semi Finals their average Points score will be multiplied by two and added to the Decade Final scores; where the 50 Highest Scores will make the Final where the scores will be added to the average score in the Final multipled by 3.

 

i.e:

 

Decade Round (Average Score *1) + Semi Final (Average Score *2) + Final (Top 50 only) (Average Score *3) = Grand Total

46th Radiohead - Karma Police 91

B 43rd 2.400 Madonna - Justify My Love 96

C 40th 2.925 Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy 117

A 38th 3.000 Shakespears Sister - Stay 120

C 36th 3.075 Portishead - Glory Box 123

D 21st 4.150 Verve - The Drugs Don't Work 166

C 12th 5.225 Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence 209

 

 

I'm staggered these tracks came in so low - Unfinished Sympathy is ALWAYS named as one oif the top 5 singlesd of the 90s - if not all-time - to have it slumbering around at number 40 in our charts is, well, it's nothing short of depressing - same with Depeche Mode and Portishead. It seems the 'hair rockers' and the MOR/AOR bunch on the 'other site' have really made a boo-boo this time round.... :(
