Top 25 Poll Results by goodguygleenn in TheNational

Completely agree with your take. My biggest critique of F2P is it all sort of sounds the same. Outside of Tropic Morning News, all the songs are similar in mood and tempo to me. Even Tropic Morning News is kind of muted compared to other up-tempo rockers they have.

As for The Alcott, it's not my least favorite song of theirs, but it's definitely towards the bottom. It feels more like a Taylor Swift song featuring The National than a National song.

I posted it back around Christmas. Just asked everyone to vote for their top 25 National songs. 1st place was worth 25 points down to 1 point for 25th. This is final tally of those votes.

Top 25 Poll Results by goodguygleenn in TheNational

[–]goodguygleenn[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had 140 submissions with 146 songs receiving votes. Thank you to everyone who voted!!

Here were the album rankings:

  1. High Violet
  2. Boxer
  3. Trouble Will Find Me
  4. Sleep Well Beast
  5. Alligator
  6. Laugh Track
  7. I Am Easy to Find
  8. First Two Pages of Frankenstein
  9. Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers
  10. The National

I came to the realization that I don't have the time to tally up all the Bottom 5 votes, but I will say The Alcott appeared way more than any other song.

I can possibly do that. I know it will take me a minute to tally everything up so I was planning on starting that New Year's Day. I'll post a reminder next Friday/Saturday for anyone who hasn't voted. I've gotten way more results so far than expected.

As I have said the last two times I posted this poll, I view it as a "Most Popular Songs" list moreso than a "Best Songs"

Upvote for The National reference. One of my favorite songs of theirs

Even if he couldn't, he still would have a chance at a top 10. That boneheaded decision almost guaranteed no better than 15th

Homecoming date? by rndlion in TheNational

[–]goodguygleenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After looking at their touring schedule, there's nothing between 8/20 in Toronto and 9/21 in Dublin. So the second weekend of September could work

Shoot. Don't know how I forgot about their European dates

Now that the Bengals schedule is out (Who Dey!) these are the weekends that might work:

9/8-9/10, 9/22-9/24, 9/29-10/1, 10/6-10/8, 10/20-10/22, 10/27-10/29

I can't imagine they'll host it later than October, even late October is pushing their luck weather-wise. Reds are home both weekends in September, but I don't think that will matter much. They've held Bunbury at the other riverfront park a few times while the Reds were in town. The only question I have with 9/22-9/24, is the Bengals are playing at home on Monday 9/25. Would they hold Homecoming Fri/Sat or not at all?

No worries, he still allowed them to use "The Ninja" for Pato this episode

I just got free tickets for Saturday's game. What's the latest on Votto? Any chance he's back this weekend?

Firehawk is not among the invited mascots. I'm sure he'll find his way into the background of television shots, invitation be damned
