A million years ago when I played online poker I learned that FullTilt uses continuous shuffling in their RNG. This might be phrased poorly but the idea, as I understood it at the time, was that if you called an all-in bet one millisecond later or earlier, the cards would have been different.
I kinda feel this way about my ranking here. A lot of songs could have been ranked differently if I did the reveal earlier or later. But here we go anyway.
When I picked the category I had more of a story-telling theme in mind and didn’t really realize that protests/political songs also fit the category. So while it’s not what I really wanted, I didn’t judge against it because it clearly fits the category well.
I was familiar with most entries. Either I knew the song itself, the artist or the music style very well. Other than the song in last place, I tried to not put it into consideration when ranking because I didn’t specify anything in the notes. So you did a great job sending songs I like, I did a poor job defining a category that will introduce me to new things.
At the end I ranked it according to which songs made me come back and listen to them again after the many mandatory listens.
