Messy Ecl Top Ten List Power Rankings

I hope everybody that had designs to turn in a list already did so, because my man Zig up and calculated the dang on results. Check out the e-mail I just got:

"Well, I finally found some free time at work and calculated the power rankings. It didn't take very long at all with my new power rankings formula I like to call RATTNS (reverse assigned top ten numerical score). For the people that didn't rank their lists, I just did the average value for a top ten score which came out to 5.5. Of course, some people thought it would be cool to give a top twelve, so I had to lower the value using GSMNS (guesstimations).

1. Animal Collective - Sung Tongs (55 RATTNS)
2. Joanna Newsom - Milk-Eyed Mender (37 RATTNS)
3. Lil' Flip Scoldjah - Out Francin' Yall (33 RATTNS)
4. Brian Wilson - Smile (24 RATTNS)
5. Devendra Banhart - Rejoicing in the Hands (20 RATTNS)
6. Kanye West - College Dropout (19)
6a. Panda Bear - Young Prayer (19) [I wasn't sure how to include this, since some people listed Animal Collective and Panda Bear as one entry, while some listed them seperately]
7. The Liars - They Were Wrong, So We Drowned (17)
8. Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse (16)
9. Comets On Fire - Blue Cathedral (15)
10. Crime Mob - Criminy (15) [Comets of Fire is ranked ahead since it received more indivual votes]

Barely missing the cut (in RATTNS order): Bugs Eat Books, Ariel Pink, Dungen, Wolf Eyes, Xiu Xiu, and the Fall."


Well, shit. There you have it. OJ, time to start thinking about those mix cd's.
