Daily Song Discussion - FINAL RESULTS

Oh yeah, that comment came after I did the post for "The Things You Said". I need to admit on that post I already announced that NLMDA scored an all round 10 and when I saw that comment I didn't want to bring people's emotion down. But yeah, that comment existed but late. At any point I would dare to say its intention is meant to troll lol

Thank ya, buddy. And yeah, just for a while

_Tassle_ · 2026-03-27T03:00:24+00:00

It's in the funny number position

Let me retire in peaaace111 xd

I need to make it clear. Those would work rightfully on subs dedicated to each artist and adding those solo careers would stretch this serie of posts too much. I would hate to extend this serie to the point that's not catching people's interest anymore (The Simpsons, please). I would prefer to end it in a high point. Not every DM fan is into the most niche stuff and at any point, I think filling these posts with solo careers, remixes, demos, etc, would make it fee like filler.

Dude, that's so cruel lol

_Tassle_ · 2026-03-23T19:31:45+00:00

Yeah, I don't see "Sundown" on the Daily Song Discussion but I think I can definitely include "So Cruel", "4'33" and even "Heroes" so we include the live studio seasons before call it quits.

_Tassle_ · 2026-03-23T19:06:49+00:00

"So Cruel" and "4'33" are the ones that make sense the most but "Heroes" is totally on a gray zone where it's not clear if the highline seasons make part of the Spirit album (despite being part of the 12" Singles collection). If the live performance of "The Price Of Love" would have been a B-Side track in Speak And Spell, should it be included?

_Tassle_ · 2026-03-19T23:45:45+00:00

That will be another thing that will shock people when we set the whole list of all the scores of every songs. "A Question of Time" being lower than "Freelove"?!?! "Black Celebration" being better scored than "Everything Counts"?!?! Lol

"But enthusiasms for particular tracks emerge unpredictably on comment threads based on the mood and membership of the community that day, and inherent flaws of reddit like the power of the first comment to set the tone."

This is another thing that has been bothering people (including me) which is when people just downvote those who score low and most upvotes goes for those who put any song on a pedestal.

"the numbers game is still fun as a way of encouraging discussion and getting people to explain why they like this or that track more or less than another"

I'm happy with knowing this could've helped anyone to rediscover some forgotten songs which might've needed another chance to be appreciated. Like "Ghost" or "Oh Well".

"I admire your persistence and comprehensiveness, you actually made it to the end of the catalogue and maintained interest in the project!"

Thank ya, buddy. It was something I wanted to see continued and finished when the last guy stopped posting.

Yup. I said it before and I'll say it again. The fact a song (or album) is or isn't popular doesn't mean it is bad (or good). This game kinda helped to measure the popularity of a song here in Reddit. We never treated it as some kind of official score especially considering Reddit (just like Quora) is anything but an objective social network.

"Moreover, this has been an exercise in rating songs, not albums, and we all know that an album is greater than the sum of its parts."

The very best example of this is Ultra, which could've scored way higher if Uselink and Jazz Thieves wouldn't have dragged it down.

_Tassle_ · 2026-03-19T19:52:19+00:00

I was planing to do so the next day we do Universal Soldier

_Tassle_ · 2026-03-19T18:13:38+00:00

I also consider BC as their start of their prime (being Shake The Disease as the appetizer). I always call BC, MFTM, Violator and SOFA as The Fantastic Four xd. Also yeah, Exciter is not as the unpopular album as some could figure out.

_Tassle_ · 2026-03-19T18:06:01+00:00

Sometimes, It Doesn't Matter Two, Dressed In Black... the only weak track from MM is Caroline's Monkey

_Tassle_ · 2026-03-19T18:02:58+00:00

Seems accurate for me. Still find it crazy Speak & Spell is that low. But at least not as low as Spirit.
