So about ten years ago, I did a Interference.com U2 Favorite Song, or something to that effect, on a website. It was lots of fun and I had some great comments about some songs being left out, and the way in which it was done did not work the best.
I also see, quite often, threads of "Rank your songs" and "Survivor" rounds etc.
I had an idea, depending on what the interest would be in it:
Through wiki, I found 233 songs that were written by U2, or Bono/Edge or Adam/Larry etc. To find the website's favorite song, I was thinking of having two different rounds of voting.
1st Round - You score each song from 1-5. 1 being least favorite, 5 being favorite. Plain and simple - look at each song individually as a song and put your score for it. Would take some time...maybe 10-15 minutes, or longer, but you'd have all 233 U2 songs scored based on your personal liking of them.
Then, I tally up the results of everyone that participated, which I would share the results with the Interference username, so people know there was no rigging on my end, and I would take the top 64 songs which would bring us to the 2nd round -
2nd round - Top 64 songs go into a March Madness type bracket. Pairings would be based on no. 1 favorite song vs 64th favorite song, etc, until there is one left standing.
I have all the songs on an excel spreadsheet, so if there was interest in doing this, I could post the spreadsheet, you could download it, then email it to me or send it to me on here via message.
So right now I'm just getting feelers on what kind of interest there would be on this. The 1st round would be the most time consuming, but I feel it is the fairest way for the entire U2 catalog to determine the top 64.
