All right, all the votes are in and counted, and we've got a list of the top 50songs, as picked by the GT forums.
Here's how it worked. Every song got 15 points for every first place vote, 14 for every second 13 for every 3rd, etc. all the way down to 1 for a 15th place vote. If you didn't rank your songs I put them down in the order you listed them. If you put less than 15 songs I dropped the bottom slots, (so that your number 1 still got 15 points.)
Secondly, every song got 10 bonus points for every vote it received beyond the first. I feel that a song that gets two last place votes is better than a song that gets only one low vote.
Every song needed at least 11 points to make the list. I dropped 3 11 point songs to cut the number down to 50.
I broke all ties on songs that tied. If I don't know any of the ranked songs I just randomly put them in. Songs in bold are songs that received multiple votes. Asterisks/Carrots denote ties.
And yeah, I kind of messed up. Bullet with Butterfly Wings got on the list twice. I went through it all and I didn't catch that on my final check of the master list and if I wanted to go back and get a 50th song it would be quite a pain in the ass figuing out what was deleted that could have gone in. So yes. Bullet should actually have 29 total points. Instead it has 15 once and 14 once. Whoop-de freekin' do.
And sorry, Knux, I know you got them in in time, but I didn't get your votes in. Hope you understand.
