Muchas Gracias!
Have you explained the scoring somewhere?
I'm curious whether a song could make it into the top 300 with a single nomination. As far as I can see, those that I had on  my list from these were all on somebody else's list, too; certainly a number of these (if not almost all) had two nominations.

The scoring system I used was an exponential decay function that I had set so that a song ranked 1 would get 350 points and a song ranked 300 would get 50 points. The highest ranked songs with only one vote were The End by The Doors and Träum Mal Wieder by Holger Czukay (your pick if I'm not mistaken), which are both tied at 320 with 350 points each.

So even a particularly high ranking wasn't enough to get it on the overall list with only one vote. There goes a quarter of my list LOL

To be fair, I think most people had a series of eclectic choices unique to them.
Great list so far though, and thanks for doing this.

I do hope Narrow Way is the only song from the Ummagumma studio side that appears. Most everything else on that album is terrible.

I disagree with your assessment of the album but I don't think there's any more Ummagumma coming. I voted for Several Species and basically forgot to vote for Sysyphus, and I don't remember seeing any other votes. I'm actually surprised Narrow Way made it. 

I've always regarded Floyd as much more of an album group, with fewer essential "songs" that define them, so while they dominated the album lists a while back, I'm interested to see if overall they don't get any particularly high rankings (aside from the lengthy song trilogy of AHM, Echoes, and SOYCD).

Good stuff, I like this system a lot (and can claim that I have some expertise in this kind of thing); I also like that two votes were required to get into the top 300 (ultimately this is a team effort) even though this killed off my Number One.

^I think everything in the top 300 had at least two votes. I may have been the only other one to list "Beta"

Giving this a quick bump, about a tenth of my list (of 230) has shown up so far. Not much from my top 50. I actually expect the list to get less interesting, since eventually it'll devolve into the expected standards by Genesis, Yes, yadda yadda so on and so forth. I'm predicting Tarkus, Starless, Atom Heart Mother, Supper's Ready, and Close To The Edge for the top five, but who knows... well one person technically does...

Nice to see that I'm not the only one who loves Sylvian's Brilliant Trees album, and 213 is a good showing for the North Sea Radio Orchestra. Clap

The great thing about this list is it opens up some discovery options and maybe give things a second chance I didn't give a fair shake to :)
