Welcome to the 2022 Beatles, 172 to 1 Countdown!
I want to thank each and everyone of you that participated this time as we celebrate the three-year anniversary of @krista4's 204 to 1 thread.
As you left your lists, I appreciate and thank you for all the nice comments that you left with your lists. And many, many thanks to almost all of you that numbered your lists. So much easier to process. 71 lists were submitted!
Very special thanks to @krista4 for starting all of this and creating many, many hours of joy and listening pleasure for all of us. I know for many of us, last time scratched the surface of experiencing the Beatles and now three years later, that experience is so much better from all of this.
I'd like to introduce you to the other member of our "Fab Three." Our FFA Mystery Writer is @Guido Merkins. I've only read a few of his write ups so that I can experience them as you guys will, but the ones I read I found quite enjoyable and I hope you do also.
Krista has included her write ups from the original thread with some added thoughts to those for this go around. I hope someone reads them this time.
I'm the numbers guy and will be throwing out to you my usual obscure, number facts. The intro to each song will be linked to a youtube of that song, with a live version being the priority for that.
After we get a few songs in, I will start posting the "Chalk Update" (hope we find a better name for that). When you have a song from your 1-25 list that is posted, I will assign a score to that song and keep a running total on who is "most" and "least" chalky. Song ranked #172 will get one point. Song ranked #1 will get 172 points. The funny thing about this is the early "chalk" leaders will likely have the best chance at being the "least" chalky at the end. It will also be fun to see who the last remaining person is to have a song from their list posted. All of this is for fun and means nothing, and I really hope we can find another name for this as there were really no chalky lists sent in. The average list had 7.56 songs on it that finished up ranked lower than 50th!
There are many, many surprises and changes to the list from 2019. I'll be back shortly with the #172 song.
