10 People sent in a list of 10 Tom Waits Songs that
they like best. 100 songs in total, nice to calculate
with. I will present some results in this and
following messages.
First of all, the people who made the list, in
alphabetical order:
BurntFaceJake
Clarinet
Eric
Ginsoakedboy
Jester
Liat
Marco
Raindog Harry
Sass
Uncle Vernon (independent as a hog on ice ;-))
Some people sent in more than 10 songs. These have
been punished severely, as their songs 11, 12, etc.
have simply been ignored in this overview. How cruel.
One person (Eric) even sent in two lists of 10 songs.
He lost the full second list ;-)
As I suspected that not everybody listed the 10 songs
in the order of their preference, I have ignored the
positions of the songs in the lists, but only
calculated the number of times that the songs were
mentioned.
By the way, yes, it was cruel of me to ask for 10
songs only. I hated myself for it, 20 would have been
better. Anyway. More arithmetic, arithmetoc:
58 songs were mentioned only once
9 songs were mentioned twice
5 songs were mentioned three times
1 song was mentioned four times
1 song was mentioned five times
The songs mentioned once (in alphabetical order) are:
