Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

John Cougar Lunchbucket
Feb 19 2011 09:58 PM

OK, thanks to the input in the other thread and your signups, we are ready to begin the Klassik Rawk Championship Battle Royale 2011. Rules are as follows: When it's your turn, pick a song you think resides in the secret list of the Top 100 Classic Rock songs I have selected. We will pick in sequence until all 100 are selected at which point the player with the highest total points is crowned champion.

All guesses NOT in the top 100 receive a 1-point deduction. Guesses in the top 100 will be scored as follows:

1-20: 5 points
21-40: 2 points
41-70: 3 points
71-90: 4 points
91-100: 5 points

We have 20 contestants and I ran you through a Randomizer to determine the batting order. We'll go 1-20 and back down again, etc. until we're through. Please check in often and play promptly as we don't wanna get bogged down. Absolutely no cheating. I will endeavor to keep the scores updated and the contest moving along and interesting, hopefully.

Good luck, rockers. The order:

1. Old Mole
2. BatMags
3. Seawolf
4. Met Marathon
5. FMan
6. Ashie
7. HahnSolo
8. Willets Point
9. Leiter Wagner
10. Frayed Knot
11. Second Spitter
12. Rockin Doc
13. Transmonk
14. Kong76
15. Centerfield
16. GWreck
17. Edgy DC
18. Mets Guy in Michigan
19. Sharpie
20. MetIrish

Mole, you're up.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

Does Irish pick 21st? Does the draft serpentine? Did you take away my scorekeeping duties? I was only joking about Monopoly. I was the most honesty kid in the group. And the best in math. And the only one who knew the real Monopoly rules. Not the made up ones where you put a jackpot in the middle and the one who lands on free parking wins it. Did you know that you couldn't build your houses and hotels any old way you wanted to? There were rules for that, too! Rules for everything. I didn't cheat. They were just jealous of me 'cause I always won.

Yes, Irish picks 20 and 21. I just need a backup to correct my math errors. I'm sure you will anyway, so what I was looking for was one scorekeeper not 15.

I propose a new penalty: 1/2 a point docked for every full hour that it takes the next guy up to put up an answer. That clock starts as soon as the guy on the clock answers.

So far, Seawolf's score would be (-4.5). The last response in was more than nine hours ago.

Missing a day sounds right for penalty.

But actually, I think you should be penalized for having a life.

I don't think I'm giving away too much to say yes the Beatles are represented on this list. I would think though that other clues to the content of the list will reveal themselves as the slots fill in.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

I was surprised that "White Room" ranked so high. If Lunchie's list is anything like the countdowns I remember when I was a teen-ager,this contest ought to be full of surprises. I remember these countodowns as being somewhat predictable at the top 25 or so, and wildly unpredictable the further you get away from the very top songs.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr

Which is why it makes sense to take the 5-point layups while they're around-- some "outside shots" will probably still be there later, but "Layla" won't.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

Edited 4 time(s), most recently on Feb 22 2011 03:41 PM

I agree about going for layups. In fact, I think that I drew a short straw in getting the 2d draft spot. If I were drafting in a Strat-O-Matic league or drafting college football players, I'd want to draft first: the best 2 or 3 players are usually significantly better, or significantly more desirable than the next 10.

But here, owning the top pick isn't that much better than having the 9th or 10th pick --it may be worse. By the time I pick next, the obvious layups should be off the board. Here, I think, 9, 10 and 11 are the best slots.

Also, I couldn't pick "Stairway" because I didn't know if the list was a critics' or listeners'. I had to go for a song that was likely to reside at the top either kind of list -- thus, "Satisfaction". "Stairway" might not even register on a critics' top 100 list.

If it's a musician's poll, though... "Stairway" takes a bit of a beating. Dylan/the Beatles tend to score higher there, it would seem.

Yeah but JCL didn't tell us that it was a radio station's list until after me and Mole selected. Until then, he only said that he had "a list. You yourself asked the following question (after me and Mole already picked):

I have a list of eight songs that I think are top 20 and five point material. But I'm the 25th pick as of now -- and everyone but me and Mole will have picked twice by the time I pick again. I'd be shocked if any of my eight candidates are still available when I go.

If making timely decisions is likely to hold others up (but Not if it's not) feel free to PM your picks ahead of time as Second Spitter did.

Wrong answers are worth minus one points. So the guy that likes to play with tiny dildos is at (-2), I believe.

But I can't believe that Jumpin' Jack Flash isn't in the top 100. I'm an old man, I guess. But I thank Mich, because that song was on my short list of next songs to select. Please email me this so-called list as soon as you can, so I can verify for myself that Jack Flash is not list-worthy.

I don't know how you feel, but I think (like I predicted) that it's looking like a total crapshoot after the top 25 or 30 and whether your song is ranked 32nd or 98th is gonna be as lucky and as unintended as the texas leaguer that seems to win a baseball game every week, week and a half.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

Not only is Sharpie in first place (tied) with a perfect score of 10, but he holds the tournament record for quickest selection: it took Sharpie one minute to pick A Day in the Life. It took him just seven minutes to select Won't Get Fooled Again. So he's killing the field in the category of "time used to select Klassic Rawk picks" (TUSK)

The shortest and longest TUSKs (hh:mm):

Shortest
0:01 Sharpie (pick #22)
0:03 Edgy (#24 - proxy)
0:04 2d Spit (#30)
0:07 sharpie (#19)

There is a small advantage to be able to pick two
out of one hundred in a short span to waiting twenty
picks to pick one at a time.

I thought about it and I still don't see the advantage, in this tournament, to owning consecutive picks. I'd say that the best draft picks are usually the earliest ones, and whether draft picks are consecutive is irrelevant. So someone who, for example, owned the 3rd and 6th picks would have an advantage over someone who owned the 8th and 9th picks even though the latter's picks are consecutive. Each of the former's picks precede the latter's, and that's where the advantage is.

in this tournament, Mole and Irish pick consecutively.

Mole's first six picks are 1, 40, 41, 80, 81 and 120.
irish's first six picks are 20, 21, 60, 61, 100 and 101.

Your first six picks are 14, 27, 54, 67, 94 and 107.

In each round, you pick between mole and irish; ahead of one and behind the other. So how do mole and irish derive an advantage from picking consecutively? irish seems to agree with you. He wrote: "20 points for Kase". But he squandered his first pick on a Thin Lizzy song, so what does he know? He'll probably pick the live version of "Boys are Back in Town" with his next pick.

Looking at what's hitting, I'm seeing dominance of British acts with songs from the late 1960s and early 70s, with AC/DC being the most current song, and that was, what? 1980? Journey was in that same era.

Hmmm. Plotting.

I don't think giving a precise cut-off date is the right way to be thinking about it. The source is a radio format (more precisely, popular choices within a format). The wikipedia definition is here, [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_rock but I'd sooner look for guidance in what the list (about half done) suggests rather than what it's "supposed to" include.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

I don't think there's an end date because each time the Rolling Stones or Robert Plant or some other artist considered Classic Rock releases a new recording that new recording is still considered Classic Rock. I'd say roughly 1980 is the cut-off date before which a band should have had some popularity to be considered Classic Rock, although the previous game that Lunchbucket had us play had a list which included U2 and R.E.M. so I guess the genre stretches out as time passes.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

I had "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" that lined up and then pulled it back (in favor of two songs that missed) after "For What It's Worth" came up empty. I reasoned that Steven Stills had a cold bat and I told him to sit down.

Think I'm overthinking this much?

I was going with Suite: Judy Blue Eyes next, and I would have finally gotten one right (how can the Allman Brothers not make it?)

Back in the 60s, Judy Collins lived in the same apartment building as my brother, and more than once there were spottings of Steve Stills out on the sidewalk, looking soulfully up at her window.


Damn. And my other next pick would have been Traffic.

OK, I'm imposiing picks, now. Rockin' Doc is next up and he picks "Doctor, My Eyes" by Jackson Browne. He's followed by Transmonk, who picks "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock 'n' Roll Band" by Moody Blues.

KC follows that "Boogie Shoes" by KC.

Centerfield picks "Centerfield," Gwreck picks "Crawlin' from the Gwreckage," and now it's my turn.

I'm thinking.

Since Rockin' Doc is probably playing the front 9 of some beautiful course, I present to you the number No 1 song played on a Wobble Board.

I don't think Under Pressure was that big of a hit, Stateside. Edgy and seawolf have both taken a hit for me.

OE: You can also probably make the argument it doesn't fit "squarely" into the genre. Specifically, its opening and the fact some parts are sung in falsetto.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

And with Bowie 39% gay and Mercury 72% gay, it really pushes the envelope on a highly homophobic genre.

OE: I'll also add that, while many of these songs are excellent, I've turned virtually all of them off at one time or another from overplay fatigue. I just can't hear most of them anymore. That has never been true of "Under Pressure." It's totally awesome.

Mercury's got to be at least 85% gay. (The mustache alone is worth, like, 20 percentage points.)

OE: And the countdown makers didn't penalize Don Henley and Glenn Frey for sucking their own cocks, so I fail to see why Bowie and Mercury should suffer for an affinity-- real or imagined-- to intake of the cocks of others.

The Ocean? Great song. Top 100? I wouldn't have imagined that for the world. If that's in the top 100, then there should be 15 other Zep songs on that list that haven't been named yet.

Blame Vanilla Ice for driving a nail in "Under Pressure's" coffin! The version on Bowie's live CD from a couple years ago is good.

I was surprised by Kansas not being there, and agree about the Ocean.

Hmmm. Detroit Rock City. The Tigers take the field to that song blasting from the speakers. It's pretty cool. Kiss doesn't get a lot of airplay so I'm guessing nothing will make this list, even "Rock and Roll All Nite."

I do have a couple good guesses ready to go, though "Roundabout" was one of them....

Yeah, I was trying to get at that Classic Rock radio tends to overplay (and overvalue) certain songs. Although I happen to like this one, it probably wouldn't crack my all-time Top 100.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

JMO, but "Under Pressure" was never as big a hit with "classic rock" formats as a half-dozen or more Bowie and/or Queen songs individually. Accounting for those facts, the gay thing (Mercury = 165% gay and that it's a "duet" with Bowie), the disco overtones, the falsetto, the scat ... so many non-CR elements, it's really a testament to how well it works that it appears at all.

The Ocean is HUGE on CR radio as far as I can tell. As for 'My Generation,' The Who may as well have been born in the 70s as far as CR is concerned.

Re: The Ocean

OK ... recognize it; never knew its name; never cared to find out because I never liked it.
In short, I was a bigger fan of the earlier/bluesier era Zep and not of the later HotH era, Couple that with the fact that by the time Classic Rock became entrenched as a format and proceeded to destroy the remaining bits of innovation still existing in radio, the over-playing of LZ and treating their years-old stuff as if it was just-released material (calling Carol Miller) became my main target for anger until there became a point where I'd reflexively turn off any LZ song as soon as the opening notes hit.

Forget "Under Pressure"-- I'll concede your points for the sake of argument (even as I maintain that, compositionally, it ranks among BOTH Bowie's and Queen's top 10... and that it was top 30 on the pop charts as a single in its time).

The lack of "Smoke on the Water" is what really mystifies a bruvva. As others have kvetched, that riff IS rock (and seems very much of a piece with the rest of this dank-smelling, airbrushed-Econoline-van of a list).

Exactly. We know this is a New York-based radio station list now.

I love "The Ocean." It's honestly my favorite Zeppelin song. I was only marginally aware of Zeppelin, outside of maybe two or three songs, when our bassist suggested we do two songs: "The Ocean" and "Over The Hills." They are both so much fun to play and sing (we also added "Thank You" to our set eventually) that they stand out among Zep songs for me.

This is funny as I was recently watching a public TV special about the heyday of the 'Troubadour Club' in LA, part of which dealt with East coast rock critics denigrating the whole scene as not being worthy of R&R status.

It wasn't that Billy Joel wouldn't get played in California (I'm talking early '80's). It's just that you would hear him pretty much exclusively on Top 40 stations.

I grew up on Long Island myself.

And it isn't that I especially dislike his music. Some of his songs I kind of like and I don't go out of my way to change the station when his stuff comes on (though I would probably keep trying if I were turning the dial). My point was that in moving back to NY in 1983 it was unexpected that his stuff would show up on the rock stations of the time. I suppose, I don't know, Jackson Browne might not have gotten played as much here during that time. I do kind of hate that Italian Restaurant song, though.

If you need to go do the dishes and Edgy's still slacking go ahead and PM me.

I don't get the hate or ignorance over FFAF. Every burnout who died young in a car crash had this played at his funeral.


I like Funeral. But it wouldn't have been my first Elton selection.

The salesman in Sears said installing a dishwasher isn't too tough and I would probably be able to do it. I opted to have it installed.

Very. Good. Decision. Watching these guys, it's more complicated than I thought.

This is like the longest Edgy's been away from his keyboard.

"Funeral" is proggy and awesome and it leads off Goodbye Yellow Brick Road*. How have you oldsters who were, like, alive when it came out not heard of this?

*Best song on there outside of "Saturday Night's Alright..." and "I've Seen That Movie Too."

It may or may not be a great song...but I've never heard it on the radio.

I can literaly think of 10 Elton John songs that I would have picked before not thinking of this one.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

If Elton John had died in 1977, he'd be a classic rawk staple today.

There's definitely one Elton John song that I would think of as being a Top 100 Classic Rawk item, but it's not Funeral...

I'm playing along at home. Was up to my arse in work when the contest was launched and, tempting as it was, decided not to be that guy. Lots of shockers on this list so far. I wouldn't have guessed Comfortably Numb as #9 on a list of Pink Floyd songs.

Fair enough about FFaF, Monk. (I just thought of, like, 7-8 while reading your sentence and typing this.)

I'm guessing it got a lot more airplay during the AOR radio days, right, '70s kids?

RE: FfaF

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I haven't heard it on the radio since 1980.

Went out one Friday night around 1986 and a classick rawk cover band took the stage. My friend Terry --- a guitarist who came of age in the seventies himself --- requested it, they laughed, said they hadn't played it since 1982, but agreed they would someday be able to get away with it again, but they had a new drummer and couldn't go out of his comfort zone.

It seems to me that I used to hear 'Funeral' all the time, but I guess that was before FM stations started imitating the AM stations they originally set themselves up to rebel against and decided that they also would ban songs longer than 3-1/2 minutes from their airwaves.

The classic rock radio I listened to in 80's/90's had no problem playing Led Zeppelin's epics ("Stairway," "When The Levee Breaks," "Kashmir" et al), "American Pie", "Hey Jude," "Voodoo Chile," "Life's Been Good," "Layla" (with the piano solo), and numerous other songs that are more than twice as long as 3:30 minutes. I think what happened with Elton John is that he got slid over into the Soft Rock category.

Well, he helped that along with his later releases.

But again, there's the aforementioned homophobia. Classick rawk fans may have been down with the whole outrageous subversion of the glam thing in 1974-1975, but, by 1980, they had collectively come to a silent but binding understanding to agree that it never happened.

Things will probably get hard soon -- there's at least one song I can guarantee will not be guessed without a big clue -- but there are still a few cookies on the counter by my reckoning at least.

At least I could justify my first few misses in that I was shooting for outliers. I swore these last two were layups.

I'm surprised that even at this point, there aren't more wrong song picks. Everyone seems to be getting better with their picks even as the remaining songs should, by all logic, be tougher to identify.

Who doesn't have four picks that should surely be there? I have a list of 50 songs that should surely be there.

I'd guarantee that if we could compare lists -- your four to my 50 -- that there'd be no compelling reason why your four picks would be any better than my any of my 50 and that assuming everyone here has a reasonably informed understanding of this genre of music, it's all down to luck and randomness from here on out.

That's what I meant, too (50 out of the remaining 30). I was being sarcastic when I wrote that I had 50 picks.

After the Elton John discussion today I listened to him on the iPod in the car, and that "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album is amazing, with:

Funeral for a Friend (Love Lies Bleeding)
Candle in the Wind
Bennie and the Jets
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Grey Seal
All the Girls Love Alice
Harmony

But, being a 1970s double-album, there's a lot of indulgent crap on there. Should have been a single album -- like most of them. But damn, the highs on this are among his very best.

I've seen him in concert, twice on the "Sleeping With the Past" tour. The first show was outstanding -- the second was brutal. He was in some king of snit, mumbled something about being angry at the label, wouldn't play any of the songs from the CD, stormed off stage and never came back. My buddy, who was a huge fan, was pissed.

Elton was in a real career valley at around the time classic rock radio got its start. His act looked ready for Vegas, and he hadn't yet discovered the key to reviving his career was glomming onto little boys with AIDS.

Well, I don't hold out much hope that this song will actually make this list, but it's worthy of inclusion in a top 100 list so I'm going with "London Calling" by the Clash.

There I was kicking myself for guessing "Pinball Wizard" while "Behind Blue Eyes" was still on the board. Now I've gone and dislocated my leg for nothing.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

I would've picked Pinball Wizard before Behind Blue Eyes. I would've included all of your wrong songs except the Van Halen on my list of potential picks. So there but for the grace blah blah blah.

At some point -- not saying now -- we may need some clues.

If I were to give them immediately, the moment to do so would be between Old Mole's next two guesses, or after another round of 20 without clues. Any opinions on this?

If I were to give them immediately, the moment to do so would be between Old Mole's next two guesses, or after another round of 20 without clues. Any opinions on this?


I think that clues will make it virtually impossible for anyone more than nine, 10 points behind the leader to catch up. Those contestants must not only score to catch up, but hope that the leaders pick wrong for several rounds. They need several rounds to catch up. By speeding up this contest, you reduce their chances of winning.

OTOH, I don't know how obscure or unlikely some of the remaining songs are, although just on sheer randomness, I would assume that some of the remaining songs might go un-guessed for a long time, without clues.

So that's my somewhat uninformed opinion.

What ... no pictures?

...that were particularly fond of cheesesteak.

But yeah, LoaP is a real outlier - I was a bit surprised by the inclusion of WtSHNN but that at least has an epic-ish feel to it, and its arpeggio is kinda unique. Perhaps even to get U2 on the list, although something from War would have been far more likeable to the genre.

But what exactly does LoaP bring to the table (that is, apart from the fact it was spammed by MTV)? Employment relations commentary?

I'll take a wild guess that whoever concocted this list went to a Bon Jovi concert in the late 80's, nearly got laid, and included this song as a reminder of what could have been. Because they haven't been laid terribly often since then.

...

since my own level of expertise in the realm of classic rock is tapped, i decided to hunt around for another seemingly authoritative list, basically to jog my memory. i settled on some aol top 100 list. their #12 was ramble on. it was the highest-rated song on their list that's gone unmentioned here. fwiw, this list ignores the existence of bruce springsteen, and seems not to consider elton john, bon jovi, or billy joel to be in the genre either. or at least not at the head of the class. #11 on this list, wish you were here, is also not on our top 100.

i'm pretty sure that we all could go out and find a top-100 list of our own, each from a seemingly authoritative source, and there's be a good chance that in each top ten, there's a song left out of another's top 100.

yeah, this list didn't include the 4th-rated hey jude, so i'm probably fishing with the wrong bait here.

I've been noodling around with the Google over the last couple of days (more for comparison, as I've got my next few picks in with JCL already). I've found 1 or 2 I like a lot better, just because they're a lot more catholic with their criteria-- punk-rock, early R&B, and rockabilly are all welcome.

It seems that this might be more accurately tagged as Album-Oriented Rock rather than straight-up classic rock, hence the '60s-'70s focus, and the exclusion of stuff like the Steppenwolf "singles," as well as Elvis, Buddy Holly, "Summertime Blues," and anything by black people whose names don't rhyme with "Bimi Mendrix". Doesn't "classic rock" by definition typically include its oldest origins, like, "Rocket 88," "Johnny B. Goode," and "Rock Around the Clock"? (To say nothing of "Tutti Fruitti," "What'd I Say," and "R-E-S-P-E-C-T.") If not, what do we call those these days?

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

The whole purpose of naming a particular format as "classic" rock to begin with was nothing more than a way to avoid using the name "oldies".

When WCBS-FM first went into their "oldies" format (they weren't shy about using the name) it was 1971 and they were essentially playing stuff from the birth of R&R through about the British Invasion. That made it more or less '55 thru '64 and so songs in the 7 to 16 year old range were happily labeled as oldies.

By the time the AOR formats decided there was a better (and safer) profit margin in appealing to aging white boomers than there was in trying to stay up on current trends it was the mid-to-late '80s. Now, unlike with CBS-FM in their 1971 launch, there wasn't a sudden shift in playlists but merely an increasing reliance on tried-n-true songs that essentially picked up where the "oldies" list left off (although CBS by that time had expanded to include later '60s and 1970s stuff). So even as the "classic" format started, the tunes pouring out of the speakers from stations that wanted desperately to protect their image as being on the cutting edge were already a good deal older than what CBS was originally willing to call "old" - as much as a quarter century old and even further in the rear-view mirror as we got into the 1990s. "Classic" merely sounded better to their ears than old or antique.

A few years ago, Labor Day weekend I think, we were driving back from the beach and the Classic Rock station was having a countdown and the oldies station was having a countdown. We would switch from one to the other. The choices on each station were equally ridiculous.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

Guys, there's this album called Born to Run and "Jungleland" is the near ten-minute epic that closes it --- a gangland opera filled with mythological characters like "The Rat" and "Maximum Lawman." It's initially driven by delicate interplay between pianist Roy Bittan and short-time E Street Band-member Suki Lahav on violin, eventually descending/ascending/exploding into one of the most signature solos of Clarence Clemens' career. If anybody asks why only Clarence shares the sleeve of Born to Run with Springsteen, this is why. It's the track that made him.

If you don't know it, it's because, like young Edgy, you turned "She's the One" up so loud that you blew out your ears/your speakers/your mind/all three, and didn't have anything left to give. But eventually I did, and there it was: "Jungleland."

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

What really challenges my thinking is the displacement of what I thought was the clear anchor (or at least the classic rock anchor) of the catalog for some artists. If there's no "Born to Be Wild" for Steppenwolf, I think, then there's certainly no "Magic Carpet Ride." But Seger misses with "Night Moves" and hits with "Turn the Page"? Huh?

This game should be very hard to play. You're in last place .. you can't literally buy a right answer even though your picks are excellent ... logical. Other than that Van Halen. That's because it's easier to pick wrong than right over the long haul. Once you get past the 25 or 30 songs that appear on 80% of these listener lists -- the fixtures -- the rest of these lists are extremely varied -- even quirky. One song may appear in the top 30 on one list and not make the top 200 on another list. The leaders' scores in this contest are absurdly high ... and there are so many of them. The odds of any one contestant reeling off four correct picks in a row after the first four rounds are minuscule. Yet here, we have that going on four or five fold. The top five scorers are a combined 35-1 (me included -- but there's always room for one outlier). The rest of the field is a combined 48-61. The Beatles and Stones combined, ought to have 30+ songs that wouldn't offend anybody's sense of musical taste should any of those songs appear on this top 100 list. This should make for quite a few Beatles and Stones whiffs. Yet only two contestants whiffed on those bands. I figure that the total wrongs should've outnumbered the total rights by about the 5th round, 6th at the latest. I know some of this from experience, having participated in this exact same style contest before, and the rest from my (ahem) expert knowledge on classic rock as well as powerful instincts for probability.

So try and figure out where I'm going with this one.

I'm old enough to have heard most of this stuff and been the target age when it was released. Not that I was a big fan of most of this stuff, it was just in the air all of the time. Having a teenage son with some interest in that music has also helped. Plus, luck.

I played this game on two occasions, years ago, before the internet existed .... before some of these bands even existed. The scoring totals in this contest is akin to having six teams as good as the '86 Mets in the same league, at the same time.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

My last go around exemplifies for me the mystery of this. I figure if "Stairway to Heaven" is #1 and "Knights in White Satin" is there, then the radio listeners or whoever votes on these things like fairies and elves and May Queens and such so I was pretty confident with "Lucky Man" which whiffed. I was a lot less confident about "Welcome to the Machine" but figured it would get a low slot and get me the puzzlingly high scores for low picks. Then it turns out to be the holy grail. I have four five-point homers (gimmies in "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "A Day in the Life" plus #99 "Southern Man" and WTTM) and three strikeouts. I'm the Dave Kingman of this contest.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

I keep picking the wrong songs. I passed on "Tangled Up in Blue" and "Somebody to Love" which would have been good and instead went with "London Calling" and "Pride (In the Name of Love)" which were wide of the mark. At this point, I feel rather clueless and pretty certain that whatever I choose won't be good. sharpie beat me to my projected miss for this round by submitting "Lucky Man", so I'll go with my next loser on my list.

"Dust in the Wind" by Kansas.

So you're saying that I'm not credible because I'm not in first place?

I knew that I would be taking an unpopular position, and that nobody would back me ... at least not openly. But if you assume that by the third round of this contest, the odds of picking one of the remaining "right" songs were about 50-50 (I think the odds were tougher. If you check the outcomes for round 3 and going forward, we were running about 50-50, but I contend that those numbers were skewed by peekers. I bet Edgy thinks that the odds were less than 50-50.) then the odds of just one contestant reeling off 4 straight "right" picks is one in 16 or 2^4. The odds of four contestants picking four straight rights after round 3, at 50-50, are over one in 65,000 (16^4 or 2^16 -- either way works out the same).

On average, we'd have to play this contest 65,536 times to have one instance where four contestants reel off four straight right picks after round three. And I think I'm being conservative because my hunch is that the odds of picking a right song are less than 50-50. I don't want to try and estimate what the odds would be of having four undefeated contestants at this stage of the game because my head would explode.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

This contest was much more fun when I wasn't being accused of cheating (and no, I wasn't named directly, but I can read between the lines).

I don't think any of my picks (Baba O'Riley, Sympathy for the Devil, Kashmir, Yesterday, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, Jungleland, Rosalita) were all that crazy that anyone would think, "where the hell did he pick that from? he must be cheating."

Did I follow Seawolf's lead that this could be a NYC list and move my Springsteen picks up on my list? Yes. I would not call that cheating.

This ain't that big a deal to me, it's a nice offseason diversion. The implication that I'm a cheat just ain't cool.

What really challenges my thinking is the displacement of what I thought was the clear anchor (or at least the classic rock anchor) of the catalog for some artists. If there's no "Born to Be Wild" for Steppenwolf, I think, then there's certainly no "Magic Carpet Ride." But Seger misses with "Night Moves" and hits with "Turn the Page"? Huh?


Not a Seger fan but I figured that "Turn the Page" had the most Klassik Rawk traction followed by "Old Time Rock & Roll." I'd expect "Night Moves" and "Like A Rock" to compete for a distant third on a Seger list. Your thinking is right on for Steppenwolf though. I don't think "Magic Carpet Ride" has been picked yet.

I don't think that any of your picks are unusual or crazy. But Born to be Wild isn't a crazy pick either. Nor is My Generation. I could come up with 600 songs that aren't crazy picks. But 500 of those songs have to be misses. I know from experience that this is a deceptively difficult contest, and the scoring results here are so improbable, that they can't be due to chance.

I wish you wouldn't take my idea personally, because I merely applied my instincts for probability and human nature to the results. I reached my conclusion irrespective, or without regard to the specific identity of any contestants. I simply looked at the numbers and the songs.

But that's how I'm interpreting the results and I can't be persuaded otherwise because I believe that the probabilities for these scores are remote.

No "All Right Now" OR "Born to Be Wild" lead me to believe that "Magic Carpet Ride" would miss well wide, though.

You may be right on this, BML. Similarly, the guy who can't resist correcting other people's grammar may be right; that doesn't mean he isn't being a penis.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

I don't want to try and estimate what the odds would be of having four undefeated contestants at this stage of the game because my head would explode.


In the end, I couldn't resist tinkering with odds, even at the risk of suffering a Scanners like head explosion. So I assigned what I thought were generous odds for picking correctly as follows:

90% chance of picking right in the first round
70% - 2d round
60% - 3d round
55% - 4th round
50% - 5th round
47.66% - 6th and 7th rounds.

With those odds, the chances of having 4 contestants who haven't picked wrong after 7 rounds are over 3.2 million to 1.

I realize that the odds I selected aren't written in stone, but they're not arbitrary either, and probably bear a close or reasonable relationship to actual odds. You can tinker with those odds, but shifting them 5 or 10% this way or that will merely swap out the final "3.2M to 1" that I arrived at, for a different, but, also preposterously unlikely odds.

Anyone who is dick-free may cast the first dildo.

There are plenty logical reasons for five people scoring so poorly. First of all, skill can only take a contestant so far in this contest. Anyone who thinks that the difference between nailing Low Spark of High Heeled Boys and whiffing on Born To Be Wild is mostly skill instead of mostly luck is in denial. But lack of skill OTOH, ... or unfamiliarity with Classic Rock and these countdowns will kill a contestant. Anyone who can't identify the two or three dozen staples of these lists will score poorly.



I also think that this contest is much tougher than the odds I assigned in my last post. I was being generous there. This contest gets tough very fast, like dropping off a cliff. In a fair contest, even the leader should have two or three wrong picks by now. This is like watching a horse race where several of the horses in the field are three times as fast as Secretariat.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

but what if you have some innate familiarity with the source station - like, say, you're from the listening area, and you are or were a frequent listener of the station, and perhaps have heard them run through their countdowns in the past, and you've got it stuck in your head what pennies keep on turning up? and you're a big fan of the format, so with the source station framing the genre for you, wouldn't you do fairly well in the competition?

i suppose a fair contest would use some sort of geographically independent source - chicago? st. louis? - or combined a number of sources to generate some master ranking system where perhaps billy joel's traction in the new york metro area would be tamped down by john denver's popularity in, i dunno, denver.

but then some persian would be flummoxed because his idea of classic rock wouldn't be represented in the mix.

maybe we should go global with it. there's gotta be a finnish classic rock station with their own top 100 list. we'll just incorporate that one too.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

I probably shouldn't argue with you batmags, since I'm on the implied cheaters' list but if you want to have an intellectual debate about this, here are my thoughts:

1. I think you're falling into the gambler's fallacy that if we have a 50/50 shot on one pick that the next pick will have lower odds. This is like a coin flip where coming up heads and tails on one flip has no influence at all on the next flip. A coin can and will come up heads ten times in a row, and a classic rock song picker can and will get the right songs ten times in a row. I don't think 20 participants and 100 songs is a large enough sample size to balance out the outliers.

2. I think you are vastly overestimating the number of songs that could crack a Classic Rock radio top 100. I'm assuming most of us here have listened to classic rock radio stations and know the songs and artists that they play over and over and over. It's an extremely limited set and somewhat cliched to boot (and why I can't stand listening to classic rock radio anymore). Most of us have also listened to one or more of these all-time greatest songs countdowns and know what types of songs appear again and again. I'd say it's more likely that there are about 200-250 songs that are likely to appear in the top 100 as opposed to your "thousands" and thus each pick is more of a 50/50 as noted above.

3. I don't think you're factoring in that the song selection is open to everyone to see. I believe I've benefited because there are at least a dozen songs on the missed list that I probably would've guessed if someone else hadn't done so first. Had JCL asked us to send him a blind list of 100 songs I would have gotten all of those wrong. As seawolf has noted the more songs to appear on the list also gives you some indication of what else may appear.

It wouldn't be Chuck Berry, since Classic Rock/AOR radio was notoriously racist. Its heyday was the 1980s, which was the Reagan era, in which subtle racism pretty much stopped having a bad name. If an AOR station dared to play a Stevie Wonder record, they would be deluged with phone calls. This was all pretty ironic, because most of the musicians were guys who had grown up idolizing blues and R&B performers. When MTV came along, it was white-only for the first few years, until there was no way they could get out of playing Michael Jackson.

I think classic rock become a snow white world in the seventies before it was called classic rock. By the mid-eighties, their playlists had largely frozen, but it was a white seventies pool they were drawing from. One can argue that they weeded Garland Jeffries out of their playlists, but I don't think this one is on Reagan.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

I don't think there was any specific starting point but radio in general started fracturing probably almost as soon as they realized that the FM side was capable of making money.
Unlike the AM stations that dominated the '50s & 60s, programmers stopped trying to appeal to the largest possible audience and spent most of their time trying to identify their specific niche; the joke being they were no longer broadcasting but narrowcasting. So AOR began dropping a lot of black artists (Jimi being the biggest exception) to fit their target audience but at the same time were axing Joni Mitchell and other less "mainstream" stuff that didn't fit their increasingly narrow definition of R&R even as it was a huge part of their heritage. That they were also chopping off the earlier 60s led to much of Motown's heyday being dropped by the wayside.

At the same time a freer radio market - due partly to decreased regulation under Reagan - led to niche stations which sprang up in response to narrower lists from previously more inclusive outlets. WBLS (World's Best Looking Sound) created an outlet which openly advertised themselves as black music by black people for black people, while a newer 'Urban Contemporary' format aimed themselves at younger black & hispanic listeners.

The Gambler's fallacy is something else. If you get 3 heads in a row, the gambler's fallacy is that the next flip is likely to be tails. This is, of course, incorrect. It's just as likely to be heads as any of the other flips. Batmags is calculating the odds that a participant (or four) is correct 5 or 6 or whatever times in a row. To that end, his math is correct. The chances of heads versus tails is 1 in 2, no matter what the other flips may have been. The chances of 5 heads in a row is 1 in 32. (On Edit: Stupid Math)

I don't know what the odds are of guessing each song, but even if you increase the odds beyond his estimates, it's still a pretty amazing feat.

Which is not to say anyone is cheating. Like you said, maybe some of these guys know the station's tendencies. Who cares? Let's keep playing. It doesn't make it any less fun for me.

And just to throw this out there, assume that the chances of winning an NCAA tournament game is 50/50. The chances that one team will win four games in a row is 1 in 625. The chances that four particular teams will win four in a row is 1 in 2,500.

But each year, this is precisely what happens. Every year.

So clearly there is something in the numbers that is not jiving.

I think that the chances that those particular four guys would not miss a question is pretty low, but the odds that any four guys would be perfect has to be far more.

And then there's gotta be some peekers who whiffed intentionally for the sake of appearances. These I call my "peekers with a conscience". And if they don't have a conscience, then they purposely whiffed on one or two because they have a strong innate sense for probabilities and realize how absurd it would be for six or seven contestants to go undefeated this late in the contest.

This is a bad example. First of all, your math is way off. At 50/50 a game, a team has a one in 16 chance of winning four straight. (2^4) Your other flaw is that in an elimination bracket style tournament, one team has to win all of their games, no matter how improbable. Because every game has to have a winner. Here, no one has to guess right on any given pick.

I'm also cheating. In fact, my odds posts are one big scam to shame the other cheaters into picking wrong so that I could win this contest. My plan worked for the Spitter and Hahn, but Willets gave me the big fuck you with his 8th straight correct pick. He's shameless. But not as shameless as I am.

You miss my point.

It's a jerk move to cheat. It's ALSO a jerk move to harp about the cheating when the game is a prize- and punishment-less one, and when others have expressed that they kinda don't care either way, AND when you don't actually have definitive proof of cheating (merely back-of-envelope, assumption-fraught odds calculations).

Saying/typing everything that you're thinking-- and that you think you're right about-- is your prerogative. That doesn't mean it isn't kinda priggish. Or will outing your presumed cheat make this game more fun?

I'll be honest, I like the talk of odds and statistics. I think it's kind of cool. Really, if anyone can explain these odds I'd love to read it, even if it's in a PM.

But I don't like the implication that people are cheating, nor do I care if they are. I'd rather figure out the odds of 4 people having perfect records and use it as a basis to exalt them for their classic rock geniousity.

I see your point but I don't necessarily agree with it. I may not have definitive proof, but that's the nature of mathematics. It's often mathematically impossible to have definitive proof when gauging odds and chances -- instead, the likelihood of outcomes are often expressed in degrees of confidence.

I might flip a coin 25,000 times and have it come up tails on every single flip. Yet despite the overwhelming evidence that my coin is biased or unbalanced, I couldn't say so for sure, with 100% mathematical certainty. Because in theory, there is that remote possibility which must be accounted for, that that series of 25,000 coin tosses was the one improbable series of flips that would have yielded 25,000 straight tails by chance. But I can hold to my conclusion with strong confidence.

I suppose that some here don't much care about any of this. I don't care about it either, or at least not to the degree that you seem to think I do. I wasn't kidding when I posted that I'm having fun with this. I'm not harboring any grudges over any of this. But if it's pointless to post or harp about this, then what's the point in maintaining a batting order, or a scoring system, or penalty points, or any kind or order to this contest?

You're right. What was I thinking? Nobody peeked. We're in the midst of that one in 3.2 million game. Or I can tinker with my back of the envelope calculations so as to reflect that this game is much easier than I first thought, and conclude that the odds of this scoreboard is only one in a million. Or one in a quarter of a million. Instead of one in 3.2 million.

Long songs are better than short songs.
Ponderous is better than simple.
Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are unassailable unless they are being simple or come up with a short song.
No black people other than Jimi Hendrix.
No girl singers.
Nothing before 1966.
Nothing after about 1988 - and very little after 1978.

I can't wait. Obviously. Because even if we agree, for argument's sake, that the chances of picking a right song are always 70%, no matter what the round, 1st round, 8th round, 40th round, then the odds of having four contestants without misses after seven rounds is still a whopping 21,740-1 -- astronomical odds even though those odds might now seem slim after chewing on 3.2M -1 odds all day long.

There are plenty logical reasons for five people scoring so poorly. First of all, skill can only take a contestant so far in this contest. Anyone who thinks that the difference between nailing Low Spark of High Heeled Boys and whiffing on Born To Be Wild is mostly skill instead of mostly luck is in denial. But lack of skill OTOH, ... or unfamiliarity with Classic Rock and these countdowns will kill a contestant. Anyone who can't identify the two or three dozen staples of these lists will score poorly.



I also think that this contest is much tougher than the odds I assigned in my last post. I was being generous there. This contest gets tough very fast, like dropping off a cliff. In a fair contest, even the leader should have two or three wrong picks by now. This is like watching a horse race where several of the horses in the field are three times as fast as Secretariat.

OE -- Plus there's room for only 100 right songs. But there are thousands of great songs to choose from.

What kind of "naming Mets" quiz are we talking about? A subjective quiz that might ask us to name somebody else's favorite Mets? Or an objective quiz that asks us to guess something that's measured precisely, like for example, the 30 Met pitchers with the most lifetime Saves?

Since you asked...

Just for grins, I went back and looked at some of the results

Of the first 22 guesses, 19 were correct (86.4%)
Of the next 15 guesses, 11 were correct (73.3%)
Of the next 29 guesses, 12 were correct (41.4%)
Of the next 18 guesses, 13 were correct (72.2%)
Of the next 45 guesses, 18 were correct (40.0%)
Of the next 16 guesses, 5 were correct (31.3%)

Based on that, I'm making the following rough assumptions:

1st round probability of guessing right: 90%
2nd round probability of guessing right: 75%
3rd round probability of guessing right: 60%
4th round probability of guessing right: 60%
5th round probability of guessing right: 55%
6th round probability of guessing right: 45%
7th round probability of guessing right: 35%
8th round probability of guessing right: 30%

The probability of going 8 for 8, assuming that you're all equally skilled? Just multiply all the probabilities, and you get 0.0063, or a little better than 6 in 1000.

Considering that this is a very flawed estimate because there are differences in skill that aren't measurable but can really matter, it's not unreasonable to believe that Willets can go 8 for 8 without cheating.

On the other hand, the probability of getting exactly one right out of 8? That would be 8.1 out of 1000. Take eight separate cases. Each case is the probability of getting any one guess right and all seven other guesses wrong. Sum up the probabilities of the eight mutually exclusive cases, and you'll get 0.0081.

And not just one person has scored exactly one correct guess - three people have.

That's just nuts. Three people aren't going to beat those odds.

So it looks like the real cheaters here are Edgy, Mole, and Irish. Fess up, guys, you can't possibly be guessing this badly and still be honest.

Ya bolloxes.

well, i'm going to go to a website and pluck out what that website has defined as their top mets of all time. tehy've gone and ranked some 8 or 9 hundred of them. there's some sort of pseudo-objectivity built in, but the heart of it is a subjective ranking that's compiled and compiled until a master list is generated that captures that sliver of the internet's idea of the greatest mets. and i'm not being silly and looking at a website that ranks teh mets based on how cool their facial hair is or how hard their names are to spell or how much we wish their names were legal scrabble words. but best. greatest. favorite, perhaps, but mostest goodest.

so we've got a fair idea of who the top five or so are, but then it becomes a question of how does this slice of the world wide web value peak versus longevity? winning years versus losing years? recent mets or vintage? are there any inherent biases?

now, some of us may be more attuned to the theoretical process that teh website used. and without cheating, they could probably come up with a goodly number of matches through a goodly number of rounds. some others might be kindof hit or miss. and others might be phillies fans who really really thought roberto alomar would crack the list. some might think that longevity was really the most important thing, and be shocked at kranepool's placement, or harrelson. others might think that peak should rule teh day, and bernard gilkey not making the cut rocks their world.

but i relly do think that a fair number would go a fairly long way in picking up on the greatest 50 mets.

Of the next 45 guesses, 18 were correct (40.0%)
Of the next 16 guesses, 5 were correct (31.3%)

Based on that, I'm making the following rough assumptions:

1st round probability of guessing right: 90%
2nd round probability of guessing right: 75%
3rd round probability of guessing right: 60%
4th round probability of guessing right: 60%
5th round probability of guessing right: 55%
6th round probability of guessing right: 45%
7th round probability of guessing right: 35%
8th round probability of guessing right: 30%



But based on your odds, the chances of four contestants going 7 for 7 are over 5 million to one.

You're right. What was I thinking? Nobody peeked. We're in the midst of that one in 3.2 million game. Or I can tinker with my back of the envelope calculations so as to reflect that this game is much easier than I first thought, and conclude that the odds of this scoreboard is only one in a million. Or one in a quarter of a million. Instead of one in 3.2 million.

I don't deserve your stupid sarcasm.


But what if the sides were switched? What if I was the accused farter, and someone else was doing the smelt it bit? Then whose side would you take? (As if I didn't know). You'd practically lynch me.

Actually, I get 81 million to one, assuming that there's no meaningful difference in skill. But I was going for real quick and dirty before; there's certainly some difference in skill among the contestants.

One quick way to model difference in skill:

Assume that of the 20 contestants, 10 are "good" and 10 are "bad". Assume that the good group's probability of guessing correctly is always 10 percentage points better than average and the bad group is always 10 percentage points worse. So you get

1st round probability of guessing right: 100% for the good group, 80% for the bad group
2nd round probability of guessing right: 85% for the good group, 65% for the bad group
3rd round probability of guessing right: 70% for the good group, 50% for the bad group
4th round probability of guessing right: 70% for the good group, 50% for the bad group
5th round probability of guessing right: 65% for the good group, 45% for the bad group
6th round probability of guessing right: 55% for the good group, 35% for the bad group
7th round probability of guessing right: 45% for the good group, 25% for the bad group
8th round probability of guessing right: 40% for the good group, 20% for the bad group

You get the same average number of answers correct that you had before, but the probability that some people will rise to the top goes way up. The probability of four people going 7 for 7 falls from 1 in 81 million to 1 in 115.

I'm not saying this is the right way to model the skills here, but I don't think it's unreasonable. And it shows that a little bit of difference in skill can matter a lot.

I calculate that the odds of four from your "good guys group" going seven for seven are 49,611 to one.

2. The accusations of cheating. Kind of a dick move, sure, but antagonists make things interesting. I learned that watching Mega Mind.
3. Accusations of cheating leading to a full-blown debate on statistics and probability. I don't remember math being this fun in school.
4. HahnSolo's staunch defense of his integrity...complete with a Palmeiro-like finger pointing for emphasis. (Ok, I made this one up, but it would have been really cool.)
5. Second Spitter's public apology.
6. The posts that will soon follow refusing to accept the apology because it's too big a coincidence that the one time SS was outed was the only time he had supposedly cheated. Yeah right buddy.

To demonstrate, with anecdotal evidence, just how difficult this contest [crossout]is[/crossout] should be, when Lunchie ran his last rawk quiz a few months ago, no one scored higher than 40% (2 correct picks out of 5) through the first five picks-- slots six through 10, the gimmees):



Fman scored three points, but one of those points was a bonus for guessing the exact position of one song.

Most of them. Probably all of them (I didn't check). But those are the gimmees, the staples. And anyone could've picked any song. That you chose to put Stairway on your list didn't prevent me from also picking Stairway. Those gimmes wouldn't be available to pick after one or two passes here. We went 18-2 collectively in the first round here, probably about par for that round, picking gimmees. And again, in that contest, the leader was 2-3 after five "gimmee" slots. Here, only one contestant gets to choose "Stairway, or Free Bird".

if i use the order that people put in their lists as a draft order, and do a snake draft where everybody's #1 song is their first pick, etc, and drop back a pick if their first pick is already taken, so on so forth, surely you get the idea...

one round, 10/11 in the top 100

and it's pretty clear that two participants didn't really have a good hold on the constraints of the genre. and one of them is responsible for the only miss.

through two rounds, four incorrect songs are guessed. three misses come from those two participants. the other miss was pink floyd's time.

in the third round, two competitors have had their entire top ten list knocked out already - smg and hahn solo. there are three incorrect guesses in this round. teen spirit, welcome to the jungle, and born to be wild. smg has 81 correct songs to choose one of. can he do it? hahn solo will have 77 or 78 correct songs to choose one of. can he?

since we've got an open-loop test, the participants have an opportunity to correct themselves. if chuck berry misses in teh first round, maybe marvin gaye and elvis aren't guessed in the second, and the aggregate scores are improved. if welcome to the jungle misses in teh third round, maybe smells like teen spirit isn't guessed 6 slots later.

i've wasted to much time arguing this point. the underlying assumptions for your math are wrong. my underlying assumptions are probably wrong as well - who knows. the opportunity to cheat was there in the first game, but nobody appears to have. this time around, everyone's cheating but you. ok. sure. whatever. thanks for ruining the game ya jerk.

i've gotta go think up a better song than pink floyd's time, in case the contests survives into the next fucking round.

oh. of the 10 songs hahn solo named, 8 are in our top 10. of the 10 songs smg named, 7 are in our top 10.

I'm not following your post. If your point is that it's easy to pick the top 10 on one of these typical classic rock countdowns, I would agree with you, entirely. We went 18-2 in the first round of this contest, and I don't find that distribution to be unusual or suspicious. This game is relatively easy through the first 20-40 selections (two rounds). But then again, I wonder why no one could do better than 2-3 in that other contest, if it's as easy as we both believe?

I'm suspicious when three contestants go 7-0 through 140 picks and a fourth goes 8-0. I also disagree about there being an opportunity to peek in the other contest. We had to submit all of our picks before any answer was supplied. You can't find the list until you know where the songs slot. Anyway , I calculate the odds of four going 7-0 at about 3M to 1, or conservatively, using Chad's "good guys numbers", at 50,000-1 . At those odds, I can make this claim every single day and I'd have to live to be 10,000 years old (3M to1) or 136 years (50,000 to 1) before I'm wrong just once. At those odds, I'm extremely confident.

Dude, can I suggest we do it now, otherwise this contest is never gonna finish:
(1) Relabel this thread "Picks Only"
(2) Move the latest round of bitching into a new thread (preferably on another forum) labelled "KRC Bitching"

Alternative;
(1) Start a new thread labeled KRC picks only.

Lunchie's last contest speaks for itself. The contestants were asked to pick the creampuff or cupcake or layup or gimme part of a countdown (ten through one) and every single contestant was underwater by the 5th pick. What does it prove for you to redo that contestant and swap out everybody's wrong picks for right picks. I've never seen anything so contrived. What is that? The If the Queen Had Balls Theory of Probability?

I think I get your general point --- that perhaps, a few contestants are so skilled that their odds of picking correctly in any given round are significantly higher than whatever back of the envelope odds I've been playing with, and that therefore, the odds of four contestants remaining perfect up till now are not as remote as I claim if those four perfect contestants happen to be the skilled players.

The problem with that theory, as I see it, is that this is a subjective, rather than objective list, and skill can take a contestant only so far. The omission of songs like You Really Got Me, My Generation, Born to Be Wild, Smoke on the Water and many others, is akin to having a list of top 100 All Time Mets that didn't include Cleon Jones, Jerry Koosman, John Olerud, Al Leiter and at least 10 other Mets that would qualify as top 100 by most objective measures. This subjectivity reduces the influence of skill level (but not luck) on picking correctly by a significant amount. Anyone who is still undefeated by now has to know his music but also, be absurdly lucky. I'll pass on calling you a jerk for calling me a jerk. But if want to call me a peeker, I'm fine with that, because mathematically, it makes some sense. I wouldn't huff and puff and take back the piece of pie I offered you.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

Anyone who is still undefeated by now has to know his music but also, be absurdly lucky.


This is about as far as I'll agree with you (and really, all you needed to say had your goal been to raise that point alone and not been to act like a douchebag with a point to make). Also, the undefeated are lucky because their opponents who swung and missed with picks like "My Generation" and "Smoke on the Water" were unlucky. Happens.

But again, I have the whole list in front of me and with one exception that hasn't been (and won't be) guessed, one could imagine a case being made that they belonged in a list of 100 songs within the confines of a Classic Rock radio format, especially if they like many of us grew up with this format, and can detect whatever clues the list itself provides in terms of regional bias and composition: In that sense you could argue a good player's advantage grows as the choices dwindle.

I don't know if I've shared this much yet, but the "Top 100" is a random cut off I applied to the source list, afterward if the thing isn't dead from irritating intimations it'll be fun to see where the "misses" wind up.

This is about as far as I'll agree with you....

But my odds do account for the skills portion of this contest. If this contest were pure luck and no skill ... if your list was entirely random and subjective, then the odds of anyone ever picking any right song would be infinitesimally remote, because there are millions and millions of songs to choose from.

I think we realize by now, based on earlier comments, that your complete list contains more than 100 songs, and that some of the omissions might rank 101 or 102, or some other slot close to your cut-off. But that doesn't change anything. They're still omissions. This is no different than if you were never to know what the 101st or 110th song was. It doesn't reduce the amount of luck in play here. And it's not just My Generation or Smoke on the Water. I think I could come up with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of songs that wouldn't raise any eyebrows were any of those hundreds and hundreds of songs to place in your top 100.

Round 1: 18-2
Round 2: 13-7
Round 3: 10-10
Round 4: 11-9
Round 5: 11-9
Round 6: 10-10
Round 7: 8-12
Round 8: 3-16

I'm trying very hard to make these scores work. So I took our actual success rates (above) and added 20% for rounds two through seven. So for example, our round two success rate was 65% (13 out of 20). I added 20% to that 65% and therefore, now assume that the chances of picking right in round two are a whopping 85% (65+20). I've done this for every round but round one. So:

Round 1 90%
Round 2 85%
Round 3 70%
Round 4 75%
Round 5 75%
Round 6 70%
Round 7 60%

I'm practically capitulating now. I'm bending over backwards. I'm giving in. I'm making absurdly unrealistic assumptions all in the spirit of compromise, in order to give everyone the benefit of the doubt that this contest is significantly easier than I believe it to be.

Crunching my new numbers, here's what I get: Assuming that it takes, on average, one month to complete this contest, we would have to play this game consecutively for 326 years for four players to complete seven rounds without missing.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

here's the problem.

after the first round, there were 82 correct picks available in the top 100, including about 8 in the top 20. a knowledgeable competitor is going to get a song in the top 100 the first time through unless he's trying to hit the bottom of the rankings for some extra points (by knowledgeable i mean familiar with the format, and familiar with the inherent regional bias). in the second round, i would still expect a knowledgable competitor to get a song in teh top 100. again, at the close of the second round, there were still 69 correct picks available, and 4 of the top 20 remained. is it really unreasonable for a knowledgeable competitor to guess one of those top 69, or one of those top 20?

as you've posted in your revised probability estimate, you expect htere to be a 90% success rate in the first round. was it really a 90% chance that "satisfaction" would be in the top 100? moreover, was it also a 70% chance that american pie would be in the top 100?

in the 6th round, spitter took 'shine on you crazy diamond'. is that such an out-there pick that his selection of it surely indicates he's a cheat? ditto 'in my life' and 'rosalita'?

whatever. believe what you want.

for the record, the source is here: (SPOILER ALERT!!!)oh, c'mon. if you haven't found it yet, you haven't tried.(/SPOILER ALERT)

well, now that that's out there, if anyone gets a song right, we'll know they cheated. if htey get it wrong, we'll know they're clean. at least until they get another one right that is...

I didn't go there (although I could -- but I didn't). What my odds suggest is that it's extremely unlikely that at least one contestant wasn't peeking, and therefore probable to a certainty, that at least one contestant was peeking.

Yeah, especially since I picked SOYCD based on CF whiffing on WYWH (in the same round) and the fact the list appears to be juiced with PF. Heaven forbid the use of deductive logic to figure out the list, aye? But I would really love it if somebody can explain to me what makes "Eleanor Rigby" so worthy of being a 3rd rounder? (see more than one person can cast cunty asperions).

What really irks me is that I'm afraid to make any changes to the list of songs I sent to Bucket over a week ago (before batmags embarked on his Glenn Beck-styled exposé) because, if the changes are favorable, it may give the impression that I have access to the source list.

You see, I care more about the well-being of my relationship with the denizens of this forum than any personal glory this contest can provide me.

I wrote my thoughts on this one about three times already. But here I go again for the fourth time. They're good picks. They're very good picks. Really they are. I've probably listened to Wish You Were Here over 200 times and it's probably one of my desert island albums. But there are hundreds and hundreds of songs that are also good picks. I could list 500 songs easily that are top 100 material. And at least 80% of my songs will be omitted from the final list. We're playing off of a subjective list that reduces the ratio of skill to luck to something much lower than the ratio that you want me to believe exists for this contest.

So what? The list appears to be juiced with Beatles songs as well. And I'm sure that the two of us could come up with another 20 Beatles songs that could appear on this top 100 without rankling anyone's musical tastes. Let's see how many Beatles songs you pick from here on out and how many actually remain. Ditto for Hendrix and Led Zepplelin and the Stones. I picked Rigby because I thought it might rank in the top 20. I also picked Rigby in Lunchie's first contest. You could look it up.

Here, the top five scorers, including myself, account for almost half of the correct picks. It's an odd distribution. When I played this game years ago, the wrong picks outnumbered the right ones by about the 90th overall pick, more in line with Lunchie's peek-proof first contest, when everyone was underwater through the first five picks of the creampuff part of the list. Buy I suppose that you got your NYC classic Rock Ph.D from listening to bootlegged broadcasts of Carol Miller and Pete Fornatale for 20 years on Australian Pirate Radio.

It's obvious that I made a big fucking mistake to bring any of this up. What the hell was I thinking? I knew that nobody would openly side with me even if they secretly agreed with me. But I didn't count on most of the responses to be what I consider gibberish, self serving comments and ad hominem attacks. What does Glenn Beck have to do with any of this? This is a goofy, trivial contest, being played in a frat house atmosphere. What I did is no different than accusing someone of stealing Monopoly money from the bank when the other players weren't looking. If this bothers you, then you're a big baby. You do doth protest too much.

Interesting. This list hadn't seemed too friendly to 80's metal thus far. This may make me reevaluate my basic assumptions.

On the the other hand the 4 metal tracks (2 by AC/DC, 1 by Bon Jovi, 1 by Def Leppard) have done a better job at cracking this 70's guitar-band list than anything from the punk/new wave/grunge collaborative.

I did say to Old Mole, I think, that the prominence of classic rock began to fade when these genres came on the scene. I guess what I'm trying to say is that they competed with CR, so their absence from the list is not unexpected.

Also, while DL were certainly known as a Metal group, I think they became more of a hard rock group around the time Pyromania was released and certainly "Photograph" would be reflective of this. Personally, I consider only one song on the list to be heavy metal (so far).

Without stealing too much of Bucket's thunder, I've peeked (reminder to those who are concerned about cheating - I'm just kibitzing, not playing), and I can tell you Photograph is on the list. I don't remember where. It sticks in my mind because not only have I never heard the song, I wasn't even aware of its existence.

There's some completely unguessable stuff out there. I'd mentally compiled a stack of unguessed songs that I thought were the remaining gimmes, and only two were on the list.

Back abouts 1983, MTV had a feature called "Friday Night Fights" or something --- a protoversion of the Band Ladder Challenge. They'd take two videos and have viewers phone in and vote which was the better. "Photograph" pretty much destroyed the show, because it was undefeatable, winning like 13 weeks in a row. Nobody really thought Def Leppard had this following until then.

"Young Lust" gets played about every 2 and a half hours on my local classic rock station, complete with:

Hello?
"Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd. Will you accept the charges from United States?"
-disconnect-
"Oh he hung up! That's your residence, right? I wonder why he hung up? Is there supposed to be someone else there besides your wife there to answer?"
-ring, ring-
"Hello?"
"This is United States calling, are we reaching...
-disconnect-
"See he keeps hanging up, and its a man answering"


Heard it over the weekend and figured it was as likely as any PF song.

On the other hand you're number 11 and there are only 10 songs left so if the clues are good you may not get another turn.

Funny, I never realized that the lyric was "wanna ball all day." Nice euphemism.

I think this song needs some in-depth lyrical analysis.

Wanna tell you about the girl I love
My she looks so fine
She's the only one that I been dreamin' of
Maybe someday she will be all mine
I wanna tell her that I love her so
And thrill her with my every touch
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love

I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true

Sunday morning when we go down to church
See the menfolks standin' in line
they say they come to pray to the Lord
but when my little girl, looks so fine
In the evening when the sun is sinkin' low
Everybody's with the one they love
I walk the town, Keep a-searchin' all around
Lookin' for my street corner girl

I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true

In the bars, with the men who play guitars
Singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times
My little lover does the midnight shift
She ball around all of the time
I guess there's just one thing left for me to do
So I pack my bags and move on my way
Cause I got a worried mind
Sharin'what I thought was mine
Gonna leave her where the guitars play

I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I got a little woman and she won't be true

(Hey hey what can I do)

I said she won't be true

(Oh lord, What can I say?)

Hey hey, what can I do
I got a woman, she won't be true
Lord, hear what I say
I got a woman, wanna ball all day

The skill is in knowing that:

* Top 100 lists are going to favor sentimental ballads with broad appeal ("Wild Horses") over rockers favored by diehard fans.
* Classic rock radio favors music from the 1970s over all other decades.
* Classic rock radio prefers long songs with extended guitar solos over rockers <3 min.
* Rock 'n' roll pre-1967 and punk/new wave/grunge just aren't going to make the cut (I really don't know why people keep guessing these).

I believe that I know all of that. Most of us do. Most of us have a feel for the pool of candidates that will comprise the list. This isn't brain surgery. But it's not as if the top 100 songs on this particular list are the only 100 songs that fit that bill. Not by a long shot.

Of course, now I have no idea what next pick will be, but I'll probably go with something by Zeppelin or the Stones (and if I knew anything about Pink Floyd I'd keep them in the mix).

If true, this might have more to do with shifting demographics. When I listened to classic rock radio, '60's songs outnumbered '70s songs on these countdowns. Eleanor Rigby was as much a top 10 fixture as Hotel California is today, and those three songs from Let it Be that I alluded to earlier were locks to make the top 100. But then or now, these lists are subjective enough to reduce the skill level in play.

If I run a quiz on the 40 Mets with the most lifetime HR's, skill can run the table because the list will always be the same no matter who compiled it, so long as the list was compiled accurately.

Do you mean three more in addition to "Let it be" and "Get back" which have already been guessed? There's one other song from that album that is more popular than it deserves to be but I don't see it cracking the top 100.

How could someone with your classic rock "skill set" not know that Outlaws song? It's like a baseball fan not knowing of Bob Gibson. Green Grass is a classic rock staple. I'd bet that a pure classic rock station can't go three days without playing that song.

How could someone with your classic rock "skill set" not know that Outlaws song? It's like a baseball fan not knowing of Bob Gibson. Green Grass is a classic rock staple. I'd bet that a pure classic rock station can't go three days without playing that song.

You know, I honestly can't say I've ever heard that one before. And it's on the list too! Good for you Fman. It sounds pretty generic for a rawk song but I suppose I'd be less likely to turn the dial than on "Turn the Page."

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

The 'Classic Rock' radio I remember phased out most southern rock as years went on with the exception of a handful of Allman Bros tunes plus 'Free Bird'.
'Green Grass & High Tides' was something you would have heard as a staple of rock radio many moons ago but seeing as how this list is devoid of most "early" classics you'd think this was a later list when (as evidenced by some reactions here) many had never heard of the song or the group.

But if I were able to figure out this list I wouldn't have 85 wrong answers in a row now would I?

Southern-flavored rock was oddly big in the NYC area (and particularly on L.I. for some reason) for much of the '70s.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

All right, so here's my hypothesis: Southern Rock is big in metro NYC in the 70's but is phased out like FK says and thus that Outlaws song isn't played much in my prime radio listening days in the 80's. Then in the 90's that big country line-dancing fad hits New York and classic rock stations dig out their old Southern Rock songs again.

Or I'm just a ninny.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

I believe that certain bands like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, and the Who are staples that receive significant airplay in virtually all areas. I really think that where one grew up listening to the radio effects what (or who) you grew up hearing on the airwaves. Growing up in the southeast, I think the stations of my youth were much less likely to play Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel than those in the northeast. Instead, I grew up hearing more Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Little Feat.

Growing up I heard "Green Grass and high Tides" (as well as "There Goes Another Love Song" and "Hurry Sundown") more times than I could possibly count. Still it wasn't even on my radar for this contest. Great pick by Fman.

It also would have blown my mind if it had been found to have been on the list, as it's presence would iindicated that it had supplanted "Born to Be Wild" at the root of the Steppenwolf catalog sometime in the last two decades.

And, heck, I suppose that's possible. The illumination of these subtle tectonic shifts has been the real education for me in this exercise. I would have put "Turn the Page," like, fifth in the Seger catalog, based on my listening of twenty years ago, but there it is, standing proud above "Night Moves," "Like a Rock," "Rock and Roll Never Forgets," "Hollywood Nights," "Katmandu" and the rest of them. But I turned on Big Dumb 100.3 on the way home from church today, and damned if it didn't come on.

It's not so much about which is the better song, rather that "Smoke on the Water" is an iconic Klassik Rawk piece. If this list were actually about the quality of the songs it would be much different.

I still think it would be fun to have a bonus round where everyone sifts through missed songs lists and marks which songs made it into the top 200, top 500, etc. We could grade ourselves when Lunchbucket publishes the source list (I don't want to make more work for him).

The only reason I put up that stupid "Wonderous Stories" pick was that I was once in a car when one of those countdowns was on and it charted pretty high up and I thought "how can people care at all about this song?" Good to know that, in 2007 at least, people came to their senses.

I remember --- perhaps the first time I listened to one of these weekend countdowns, that the Charlie Daniels Band's "Life in the Passing Lane" was like 150. It's a testimony to the falling status of southern rock that that song probably didn't even sniff the list of 1043.

Don’t you know there’s a place for you
in between the spreadsheets.


So now that “the list” was “officially” revealed, I set out to do some quick research, comparing the top 100 songs from various classic rock countdowns for trends, similarities, dissimilarities, etc. Initially, I recorded the data in MS Word, but this program was ill-suited to the task: the song titles needed to be in alphabetical order for me to work efficiently, but in the real world of classic rock countdowns, the songs are listed in rank order. Thus, I was forever re-sorting the rock songs to maintain alphabetical order, a pain in the ass as the degree of variety from list to list, not insignificant, generated a large list of songs. MS Word is not perfectly suited for re-sorting or re-alphabetizing lists. This was clearly a job for MS Excel, and once I shifted to the appropriate platform for this task, I decided to enter data for far more than the two, three or perhaps four at the most, countdowns that I originally intended to work from.

In the end, I recorded the top 100 songs and corresponding ranks for 16 different classic rock countdowns – Lunchie’s 2007 Q104.3 list and 15 others. A list of all countdowns considered appears at the end of this post. The Q104.3 website links to their last 10 countdowns, (years 2001-2010) -- all 10 of which were among the 16 countdowns considered here.


The Countdown Fixtures

Based on the data I accumulated, 39 songs from Lunchie’s list can be considered top 100 fixtures of the classic rock countdown – virtual locks to appear.

The following eight songs appeared in the top 100 of every countdown considered – 16 appearances out of 16 lists. They are:

1.Stairway to Heaven
2.Baba O’Riley
3.Comfortably Numb
4.Sympathy for the Devil
5.Bohemian Rhapsody
6.Dream On
7.Another Brick in the Wall
8.More than a Feeling

These 14 songs appeared in the top 100 of all but one countdown – 15 out of 16 lists, including Lunchie’s:

9. Free Bird
10.Hey Jude
11.Won’t Get Fooled Again
12.Born to Run
13.Hotel California
14. Let it Be
15.Imagine
16.Kashmir
17.Sgt. Pepper’s Reprise/A Day in the Life
18.Light My Fire
19.All Along the Watchtower
20.Sweet Home Alabama
21.Whole Lotta Love
22.You Can’t Always Get What You Want

The 14 out of 16’s (including Lunchie’s list):

23.Layla
24.Satisfaction
25.White Room
26.Rock and Roll
27.Paint it Black
28.You Shook Me All Night Long
29.Black Dog
30.Who Are You
31.Sweet Emotion

The 13 out of 16’s (including Lunchie’s list):

32.Gimme Shelter
33.L.A. Woman
34.Purple Haze
35.Money

The Seventy-Five Percenters (12/16 including Lunchie’s list):

36.Sweet Child O’ Mine
37.Nights in White Satin
38.Over the Hills and Far Away
39.Brown Sugar

THE UNLUCKIEST PICKS

The 39 “fixtures” listed above appeared in the top 100 of over 70% of the lists, including Lunchie’s. The mathematics behind defining the theshhold appearance level at >70% for a “fixture song” suggests that there will likely be at least three “fixture songs” that did not appear on Lunchie’s list. You’ll have to trust me on the math because there are numerous interpretive methods to calculate this probability, but the results (posted below) are in line with my conclusion.

Six songs were included in the top 100 of over 70% of the other 15 lists, but not on Lunchies’ list – perhaps a testament to the quirkiness, subjectivity, and luck that undermines the skill element of this contest. To the extent that skill matters, the so called skilled players ought to have flocked to these songs – fixtures of the top 100 as much as Gimme Shelter or Light My Fire.

Here are the six fixtures that were not included in Lunchies’ list, and their unfortunate pickers, who made sound picks but were nevertheless penalized by the fickleness of these top 100 lists:

Time, Pink Floyd (14 of 15 other lists) – metsmarathon
Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd (14/15) - Centerfield
Come Together, The Beatles (12/15) - sharpie
Back in Black, AC/DC (11/15) - LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr
Behind Blue Eyes, The Who (11/15) - LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr
Smoke on the Water, Deep Purple (11/15) – Ashie62

Other songs that would qualify as very strong picks, if not quite fixtures – songs that appear on the top 100 of these countdowns with regularity, and that would make the cut more often than not, but did not make Lunchie’s top 100 are:

THE LUCKIEST PICKS

These selections were included in Lunchie’s list of top 100 songs, but rarely, if ever, made the top 100 of the other 15 lists considered. They were lucky picks. According to the data accumulated, these songs have no track record of appearing in the top 100 of classic rock countdowns. They’re flukes … an Al Weis World Series Home Run. A truly skilled player, if such a thing even exists in connection with this type of contest, would avoid picking these songs like Tuesday’s fish. In no particular order:

Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, ranked #65 here. The thing that you’re hearing is only the sound of a song that did not appear on any of the other 15 top 100’s. This song was Hahn’s Exhibit A in his case against even the possibility that anyone could ever peek at the answers. 0 for the other 15.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine. Where have you been?
Not in the top 100 of any of the other 15 lists. That’s where; ranked #14 here, a five pointer for sharpie, 0 for the other 15 top 100’s.

Good Vibrations, ranked #91, a high-fiver, shouldn’t be sending out any good vibrations here because it was 0 for the other 15 top 100’s. Zip. Zero. Nada. Leiter’s affinity for this tune did him lucky; Leiter also picked Good Vibes in Lunchie’s first peek-proof contest.

Breathe, ranked #81 and worth four points. Breathe was Second Spitter’s seventh straight right pick coming out of the gate. It appeared on only one of the other 15 top 100’s. Breathe was chosen before Pink Floyd’s Time (14 out of the other 15 top 100s, but not on Lunchie’s list).

Hey Joe, a high-fiver, was Second Spitter’s fifth overall pick. (3 out of the other 15 top 100’s)

Tangled Up in Blue (2 out of the other 15) was Gwreck’s seventh straight right pick

Don’t Stop Believin’ (3 out of the other 15 lists) was Willets’ third straight right pick.

Other songs that went 0 for the other 15 top 100’s:
Mrs. Robinson -- Centerfield
New Year’s Day - sharpie
Come Sail Away -- TransMonk
Backstreets - LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr
Photograph – Fman99
My Woman from Tokyo - metsmarathon

Other 1 for the other l5 top 100’s:
Southern Man - sharpie
Young Lust - TransMonk

Other 2 for the other l5 top 100’s:
Ten Years Gone– Lightning Round
Life in the Fast Lane – Kong76
Solsbury Hill – Lightning Round
Closer to Home/I’m Your Captain – Fman99

4 for the other l5 top 100’s:
Blue Sky – Lightning Round
The Ocean – Fman99

These quirks, or outliers, aren’t unique to JCL’s list. Every top 100 seems to have ‘em. For example, in Q104.3’s 2004 top 100, the following fixtures were omitted:

Paint it Black 14/16 lists
Come Together 12/16
Highway to Hell 11/16
We will Rock You/We Are the Champions 10/16

Six songs were included in the top 100 of the 2004 list that did not appear in any of the other top 100’s:

Bad to the Bone
Losing My Religion
I Want to Hold Your Hand
Sugar Magnolia
Midnight Rider
Help!

And seven songs from that 2004 list appeared in only one other list (2/16)
Truckin’
Werewolves of London
It’s Only Rock and Roll
Melissa
Going to California
25 or 6 to 4
The End

These 13 songs, cumulatively, appeared in 20 out of 208 lists, an appearance rate of 9.6%

Everybody’s best wrong pick (most appearances on the other 15 top 100 lists)

Centerfield – Wish You Were Here 14 out of the other 15 top 100 lists

TRIVIA #1 – Name the only song that appeared in at least one of the 16 top 100 lists as a studio song and in at least one of the 16 top 100 lists as a live performance. (HINT: It’s not Stairway to Heaven or Whipping Post)

TRIVIA #2 – Two studio versions of the same song each (one song performed by two different artists) appeared in at least one of the 16 top 100 lists considered. Name the song and the two artists that performed it.

TRIVIA #3 – Not including anything by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who or Pink Floyd, which three albums are tied for having the most songs included in the 16 top 100 lists considered here?

GENERAL HINT: None of the trivia answers had to have specifically appeared in Lunchie’s top 100, although some or all of them might have.


____________


The table below ranks contestant’s picks according to the number of top 100 list appearances for each song selected. Here, Stairway to Heaven is worth 16 points because it appeared in the top 100 of all 16 lists considered. Born to Be Wild is worth 9 points: although it was omitted from Lunchie’s list, it nevertheless appeared in 9 of the other lists. Any song that did not appear in the top 100 of any of the 16 lists considered is worth (-3) points. “Right Picks” refers to each contestant’s number of correct picks in Lunchie’s contest, pre-Lightning Round. An 8/11 Wrong Pick Ratio indicates that eight out of the contestant’s 11 wrong picks in JCL's contest were included in at least one of the other 15 lists considered.

Willets Point ranked #1 according to this scoring system. metsmarathon ranked 5th here, much higher than his 10th place finish in JCL’s contest (lightning round scores omitted). This means that metsmarathon’s contest picks were better than his JCL score would indicate. Other contestant’s who picked significantly better than their JCL scores reflect are mgim (7th here, 12th there), Ashie (8tie here, 13th there) and Edgy (14th here, 19th tie there).

The luckiest pickers were Fman and Second Spitter (each tied for second in the JCL contest, but better here than only half (10) of the other contestants.

All eight of metsguyinmichigan’s wrong picks appeared in the top 100 of at least one of the other 15 lists.
Only one of Second Spitters four wrong picks appeared in the top 100 of any of the other 15 lists (and just barely -- The End, 2/16).



Odds and Sods

So what are the odds of two contestants picking perfect through the first seven rounds, a third contestant going perfect through the eighth round, and a fourth contestant going nine for his first nine? (I'm talking, specifically, about the "four perfectos").

To calculate this probability, I developed the following odds table:

Round 1 = .90625
Round 2 = .90625
Round 3 = .75
Round 4 = .625
Round 5 = .421875
Round 6 = .671875
Round 7 = .328125
Round 8 = .5
Round 9 = .4375

based on the specific songs selected by the four perfecto contestants. Thus, in the first round of the contest, the four perfectos’ song picks were “Baba O’Riley”, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Like a Rolling Stone”. These four picks appeared in 58 of the 64 top 100 lists, thus a probability of picking correctly in Round 1 of .90625 (58/64). This odds table is overly generous as it assumes that the only possible selection was the correct pick actually chosen.

Earlier in the contest, metsmarathon floated the idea of a hypothetical contestant who, because of his superior skills conducive to playing this contest, should merit a higher probability of picking a right song. But a contestant is only as good as the picks he makes. Born to Be Wild wasn’t any likelier or unlikelier to appear on JCL’s list had Willets selected it instead of Edgy. The song is the song is the song. We have the perfecto picks and therefore, we can assign probabilities based on their actual song selections and corresponding data, instead of on imagined character traits.

Here are the weakest “perfecto picks” for each round, through round 7:

Round 1 = Like a Rolling Stone – Gwreck – 11 out of 16 lists
Round 2 = L.A. Woman – Gwreck – 13/16
Round 3= Don’t Stop Believin’ – Willets Point 4/16
Round 4 = Don’t Fear the Reaper – Second Spitter - 6/16
Round 5 = Low Spark of High Heeled Boys – HahnSolo 1/16 (Special Mention – Hey Joe – Second Spitter (4/16)
Round 6 = In My Life – Willets Point & Rosalita – HahnSolo – 9/16
Round 7 = Breathe –Second Spitter 2/16 (Special Mention – Tangled Up in Blue – Gwreck – 3/16)


So what are the odds of the four perfectos perfecting like they did?

Slightly over one in five and a half million.

Assuming that this contest takes one month to play, we’d have to play for 463,559 years to get just one instance of two contestants picking perfect through the first seven rounds, a third contestant going perfect through the eighth round, and a fourth contestant going nine for his first nine. There just aren’t enough songs that appear on these top 100 lists with enough consistency to justify the perfecto results as anything other than an extremely unlikely event. Extremely unlikely.


UPDATE:

It was error to set the odds by averaging each of the perfectos' picks round by round. That method grossly underestimated the odds of the four perfectos perfecting as they did, because it smoothes out their "luckiest" or longest odds picks. By instead, setting individual odds for each of the four perfectos, the revised and correct odds are as follows:

Shortest or best odds:

Gwreck (8 straight correct picks) -- 56.827 to 1 Gwreck's perfecto streak picks were overall, the soundest statistically, of all four perfectos. Still 56.8 to 1 to is a mighty long-shot, longer than the Amazin' Mets at 50-1, and short only in comparison to five and a half million to 1.

Longest Odds:
Second Spitter (7 straight correct picks) -- 141.853 to 1.
Spitter's picks were the weakest of the perfectos, and almost three times less likely to go 7-0 than Gwreck at 8-0 with their respective actual picks. At the rate of one game a month, we'd have to play for almost 12 years for Spitter alone among all four perfectos to go 7-0 just once with his picks.

In between:

HahnSolo (7-0) 107.878 to 1
Willets Point (9-0) 131.167 to 1

Odds of all four perfectos perfecting as they did, in the same game, based on their picks and accumulated data:

[crossout]Over Five and a Half Million to One[/crossout] Over One Hundred and Fourteen Million to One

Or at the rate of one game a month, once every nine and a half million years.

Depends on a couple of things. How skilled are the five players? Skill can take a contestant only so far in this type of contest, but the floor goes all the way to the bottom for lack of skill. If the five players, for example, knew classic rock as well as my mom, they might not nail one correct answer even if they played this game till the end of time.

But notwithstanding the above, I'd say likely because the universe of reasonable songs to choose from is larger than the 100 top 100 songs by more than one order of magnitude.

This is a deceptively tough game to play, once you get through the fixtures. One might resist accepting this notion because the songs that comprise the top 100 are very familiar to us; because most of us have listened to most of those top 100 songs dozens, if not hundreds of times; because we own those songs; because in a game of "Name that Tune", most of us could identify most of the songs on the list instantly.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

Batmags, you obviously put a lot of time and energy into your post so I'm going to give a (hopefully) reasoned rebutal to why I think skill did play a part in this contest as opposed to widespread cheating.

First, the Classic Rock genre is a limited by time and other factors. There are roughly three periods in rock & roll history: I. early rock & roll which is mostly short, danceable numbers (the 1950's to mid-60's) II. increasing longer, less-danceable pieces with emphasis on guitar solos (roughly the British Invasion of 1964-1980) and III. a divergent era of increasing sub-genres and fusion many of which bear little resemblance to rock & roll of the early periods or are a retro-reimagining (1980-present). Skill in this contest is knowing that the vast majority of songs played on Classic Rock radio stations are from era II with a few outliers in the eras I & III. Some participants picked songs (especially early on) from eras I & III and flopped. Some failed to adapt and continued picking songs outside these parameters (or took the risk of trying to land one of the outliers) and continued to flop. Skilled participants also learned to adapt to the contest by noticing a New York bias or realizing that in this particular countdown Era II was tightened a bit to exclude early British Invasion pieces that shared qualities with Era I rock & roll of being short & danceable (such as "You Really Got Me" and "My Generation").

Second, to perform your analysis you need more than a hand-selected grouping of 16 top 100 lists. You need a randomized selection of dozens of Classic Rock countdowns from radio markets across the country and you need to compare not just the top 100, but the top 500 or even top 1000 on all these lists. I'd wager that if you performed this exercise you would find a cohort of roughly 300 songs that would have a high probability of appearing in the top 100 of any one list. That is, while the top 100s may be widely different from one another there are not "the 1000s and 1000s of songs possible" that you claim, but more or less 300 songs that can regularly populate the top 100. This means that a skilled competitor familiar with these 300 or so songs would have a 1 in 3 chance on any pick of hitting one that makes it in this particular top 100. Obviously luck is still a big factor here and over a small series of a dozen picks, some highly skilled competitors like Hahn Solo or Second Spitter are going to hit more "1's" while other highly-skilled competitors like Edgy and Sharpie are going to hit a lot of the "2's or 3's."

Finally, and I've brought this up before but you've not addressed it, this contest is a collective effort. In his book The Wisdom of Crowds, James Surowiecki relates the story of a crowd of people trying to guess the weight of an ox. While no one person guessed the correct weight, the average of all the guesses was right on the mark. A similar principle is at work here in that all the guesses are out in the open and everyone can see what has been guessed before one's own turn. While some of us did well as individuals and some did not, we did remarkably well as a group. 164 picks landed in the top 300 and only 85 did not (a 65% success rate). The work of the group helped some of the individuals to rise to the top. A blind test in which everyone submitted there top 100 songs to JLC by email would result in lower scores across the board. I've also already noted that there is some luck working here too as I listed a dozen missed songs that I would have figured to be give-me's. I succeeded because someone else picked these songs before I had a chance to do so myself.

Anyhow, that's my thoughts on this. I hope you give them respectful consideration and then we can move on, because there's not much more I want to say about this.

I don’t see the point in recording anything but the top 100 songs from the countdowns. We we’re asked to guess the top 100, not the top 1,000. The 101st song was just as wrong as the millionth song. If I asked you to name the pitcher that won the most Cy Young Awards as a member of the Mets, your response of Dwight Gooden would be wrong, and would betray an enormous amount of ignorance on your part about the Mets and their history. It wouldn’t matter that Dwight Gooden won the second most Cy Youngs as a Met, or that Gooden was once a great pitcher, the best pitcher in all of baseball over, probably, a two year period. Any response other than Tom Seaver would be a dumb one. Likewise, if the classic rawk quiz we just played was limited to the top 20 songs, Behind Blue Eyes* would be a weak pick because it rarely, if ever, cracks the top 20 even though it’s a fixture of the top 100.


If my sample size was larger, some of the details would surely change. Dazed and Confused, as one example, might climb from a song that makes the top 100 about half the time (8/16) to 60 or even 70%. All songs would be effected, even in small ways. But some songs would also drop in rank. Some fixtures scored so highly that they could only go down in ranking. Eventually, I’d hit the lists that excluded Bohemian Rhapsody from the top 100. There’s a zero sum game aspect to this in that every song in the top 100 displaces another song. One song’s rank climbs, and another one must drop. The likeliest rankings victims of an expanded sample size would bethe Springsteen and Billy Joel catalogues.

The 16 lists I recorded were each different from each other, and each excluded several fixtures. That can’t be a fluke if it happened in all 16 lists. But while the small details would shift, the big picture wouldn’t. That one in five and a half million calculation wouldn’t change in a meaningful way. And if you could cut those odds in half – a monumental statistical achievement that I’d be willing to stake my life against it ever happening no matter how much I increase the sample size – we’d still be talking about one in two and quarter million. Long odds, especially because as you get deeper into the game, the other contestants are also picking off the easy fixtures.

I agree with you that the reasonable pool of picks wouldn’t be in the thousands and thousands, but it would definitely be in the several hundreds. And to play this contest to its completion, -- to finally nail down that elusive Solsbury Hill without any hints or any peeking -- you would have to ultimately consider, if not pick, over a thousand songs.

What does that mean? That I can't respond? Why doesn't that apply to Spitter's post? I never wrote a post like Spitter's to anybody unless I was responding in kind. It seems to me that I'd be the bad guy in your book even if I was the one that wrote Spitter's last post and he wrote my last post.

Gwreck – Honky Tonk Women 2/15
Second Spitter – The End 2/15
TheOldMole – Barracuda, Fortunate Son, Ramblin’ Man & Uncle John’s Band 1/15


2)

Odds and Sods

So what are the odds of two contestants picking perfect through the first seven rounds, a third contestant going perfect through the eighth round, and a fourth contestant going nine for his first nine? (I'm talking, specifically, about the "four perfectos").

To calculate this probability, I developed the following odds table:

Round 1 = .90625
Round 2 = .90625
Round 3 = .75
Round 4 = .625
Round 5 = .421875
Round 6 = .671875
Round 7 = .328125
Round 8 = .5
Round 9 = .4375

based on the specific songs selected by the four perfecto contestants. Thus, in the first round of the contest, the four perfectos’ song picks were “Baba O’Riley”, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Like a Rolling Stone”. These four picks appeared in 58 of the 64 top 100 lists, thus a probability of picking correctly in Round 1 of .90625 (58/64). This odds table is overly generous as it assumes that the only possible selection was the correct pick actually chosen....

So what are the odds of the four perfectos perfecting like they did?



It was error to set the odds by averaging each of the perfectos' picks round by round. That method grossly underestimated the odds of the four perfectos perfecting as they did. By setting individual odds for each of the four perfectos, the revised and correct odds are as follows:

Shortest or best odds:

Gwreck (8 straight correct picks) -- 56.827 to 1 Gwreck's perfecto streak picks were overall, the soundest statistically, of all four perfectos.

Longest Odds:
Second Spitter (7 straight correct picks) -- 141.853 to 1.
Spitter's picks were the weakest of the perfectos, and almost three times less likely to go 7-0 than Gwreck to go 8-0 with their respective actual picks. At the rate of one game a month, we'd have to play for almost 12 years for Spitter alone to go 7-0 just once with his picks.

In between:

HahnSolo (7-0) 107.878 to 1
Willets Point (9-0) 131.167 to 1

Odds of all four perfectos perfecting as they did, in the same game, based on their picks and accumulated data:

[crossout]Over Five and a Half Million to One[/crossout] One Hundred and Fourteen Million to One

Or at the rate of one game a month, once every nine and a half million years.

Willets Point wrote:
you would find a cohort of roughly 300 songs that would have a high probability of appearing in the top 100 of any one list. That is, while the top 100s may be widely different from one another there are not "the 1000s and 1000s of songs possible" that you claim, but more or less 300 songs that can regularly populate the top 100. This means that a skilled competitor familiar with these 300 or so songs would have a 1 in 3 chance on any pick of hitting one that makes it in this particular top 100. Obviously luck is still a big factor here and over a small series of a dozen picks, some highly skilled competitors like Hahn Solo or Second Spitter are going to hit more "1's" while other highly-skilled competitors like Edgy and Sharpie are going to hit a lot of the "2's or 3's."



A few quick ones: I don't know how much Spitter knows or doesn't know about classic rock. But he didn't impress me as a highly skilled classic rock competitor based on his actual picks.

Here's my question for you: How does one get to be a highly skilled player in this type of contest? How would one know what the universe of 400 or 500 songs are that would usually comprise 95% of a top 100 list? How does somebody get the "skills" to know that Jumpin' Jack Flash (ranked 124th all time, Rolling Stone Magazine 500 Greatest Songs of All Time) might be three times likelier to make a top 100 countdown than Honky Tonk Woman (ranked 8 slots higher than Flash at #116, RSM), without having been exposed to the lists, either innocently or purposely in order to cheat on a contest? For example, do you constantly review a diary that you've been maintaining for the last 20 years of all the songs you've heard on classic rock radio? Because I sure as hell can't even say for sure which of those two songs got more play in my lifetime. If I had to guess, I'd guess that it's close. I think that there is a skill factor here but that it's being grossly overestimated.

If you never heard any of the actual countdowns in your lifetime, and knew nothing about them, but still maintained your knowledge about classic rock music, could you ever divine, for example, that Stairway to Heaven, almost always takes the top slot? Do you really know anybody who claims Stairway as his or her favorite song? Me personally, I know the Zeppelin catalogue inside and out, and to me, Stairway is a song about gibberish.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

i wonder. would it be cheating to use any top n list of classic rock songs as a source from which to draw one's selections for a top classic rock song naming contest?

or must the songs entirely be drawn from one's own memory / collection / playlist?

TRIVIA #2 – Two studio versions of the same song each appeared in at least one of the 16 top 100 lists considered. Name the song and the two groups that performed it.

TRIVIA #3 – Not including anything by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who or Pink Floyd, which three albums are tied for having the most songs included in the 16 top 100 lists considered here?

Because I'm a Maniac.

What would the standings look like in a peek-free contest? Based on my personal experiences, having played this game twice before the internet existed, I'd say ugly. Uglier than the 1973 NL Eastern Division.

With so much data in my Klassik Rawk spreadsheet waiting to be manipulated with just a few mouse clicks, I tried to approximate a peek-free contest by plugging everybody's selections (pre Lightning Round) into a different countdown, and applying the same scoring system used in JCL's contest. I chose, at random, Q104.3's 2004 countdown. Nobody, I assume, played JCL's contest by peeking at the 2004 list because if they ever found the 2004 list, they would've also found the 2007 list (both lists are linked on the same web page). Therefore, nobody's picks could've been influenced by the 2004 list. I assume.

Here are the results:

CONTESTANTRIGHT PICKSSCORE
Willets Point826
metsmarathon617
HahnSolo617
Gwreck713
Second Spitter612
Rockin’ Doc312
sharpie312

Ashie6258
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr58
Seawolf1745
TransMonk44
Kong7634
Edgy DC30
Centerfield2(-3)
metirish2(-3)


A few comments:

This experiment has a major flaw in that any contestant who peeked in JCL's contest would've had access to most of the top 100 fixtures. That unfair advantage would transfer to this experimental contest, even if somewhat diminished because of differences in song rank from one list to the other.

Still, despite this serious flaw that would, no doubt, corrupt the results, only two contestants managed to nail more than half of their 12 picks.

Here are the high-fivers for the 2004 Q104.3 top 100:

The 2004 Q104.3 High Fivers:

91. Money – Pink Floyd: Kong76
92. Brown Sugar – The Rolling Stones: Rockin’ Doc
93. Sweet Emotion – Aerosmith: Seawolf17
94. Bad to the Bone – George Thorogood & The Destroyers: sharpie
95. Jump – Van Halen: Unselected
96. Losing My Religion – R.E.M.: Frayed Knot
97. I Want to Hold Your Hand – The Beatles: Unselected
98. Truckin’ – The Grateful Dead: Unselected
99. Locomotive Breath – Jethro Tull: Frayed Knot
100. Maybe I’m Amazed – Paul McCartney & Wings: Unselected

All 10 high fivers were picked by the 12th round in the JCL contest. Only [crossout]seven[/crossout] six out of 10 would have been picked here, assuming of course, that every contestant made the same choices -- the premise of this experiment.

Actually, it was 10 out of 10 off the 2010 list. But you're right in that my experiment off of the 2004 list was simply one list. This gave me the idea to run the same experiment with all 10 Q104.3 top 100 countdowns (2001-2010).

As you know, we played off the 2007 list. After 12 rounds, we had correctly picked 97 out of the 100 songs and all 10 high fivers. Here's the breakdown for all 10 Q104.3 lists:

Q104.3 TOP 100/YEARRIGHT PICKSHIGH FIVERS
200174/1005/10
200287/1005/10
200396/10010/10
200481/1006/10
200588/1008/10
200693/1009/10
200797/10010/10
200887/1005/10
200993/1008/10
2010100/10010/10


Only one list (2010) generated more correct picks than 2007. After 12 rounds, if not earlier, we would have picked off all of the top 100 songs off the 2010 list.

Here's how I interpret this data (you might disagree): I don't believe that the 2010 results were a random event. Because the 2010 list is Q104.3's most recent, some contestants were able to google and locate the 2010 list easier than the 2007 list; they then used that 2010 list (probably in combination with others) as a template for their picks. JCL had the right idea when he declined to pick a 2010 list in hopes of thwarting everyone's ability to peek. But he needed more mousetraps.

The average number of right picks for all lists excluding 2007 was 88.78. The 2007 results exceeded the average by over 10% and were second in total only to the recent 2010 list.

The average number of high fiver right picks for all lists excluding 2007 was 7.3. The 2007 results exceeded the average by 37%.

What's your opinion?


halfways through this thread, shortly after i declared that i had divined the source list, i had stated that i was already trying to use a readily available list of somebody's opinion of the top whatever classic rock songs. i noted that the list i had chosen appeared to be in stark disagreement with the results thus far in the contest and that i would probably be well-served to look for a better list from which to draw my inspiration. nobody objected.

that list contained neither billy joel nor the beatles, and i don't think it had springsteen either, so it was woefully inadequate to support my efforts to dominate this competition.

i maintain that if i had chosen, prior to divining the source list, to use the 2008 Q104 list as the source of my inspiration, then i would be equally as guilty of cheating as i would have been using, say, the aol top 100 list.

if i then never attempted to divine the source list, i would be happy with my good fortune.

but if i did determine that i was using the actual source list, or a different revision of the source list, then i would choose different material.

at no point in the competition was i going simply off hte top of my head. stairway was on the board, and since the original thread announcing the intent of this contest mentioned stairway as a guaranteed #1, i selected it. i then scoured through my own meager mp3 collection, and picked out the songs i thought would have a chance. i also hit the internet, and based on the results of a cursory google search, i obtained a list from which i intended to pull songs that i again thought would have a chance. i briefly considered going from the best available song on that list each time, but that list proved wacky, and before i had the opportunity, i thought i might instead have a better chance of plucking the right answers from it. i'm not so good at picking songs, apparently. i then went searching for other material, with similarly bad results. i later repeated my googling ways in the lightning round, as i described in my entry, again with no objections.

at some point early in the competition i used the results generated to divine the source list, and briefly went back in to confirm it. it was a fun intellectual exercise. i don't think it appreciably helped my score, and may have led me to attempt to actively reject songs that i thought i had seen on it. i will concede that along the way, i may unknowingly have gotten the word tokyo stuck in my head, which rattled around until the final round. either that or it was the earthquake coverage. it's always possible that i (over)heard the song on the radio, too. i'm not really sure.

Re: Klassik Rawk Championship: It's On!

I added a few more lists to my spreadsheet and this affected the answer to my trivia questions.

TRIVIA #1 – Name the only song that appeared in at least one of the 16 top 100 lists as a studio song and in at least one of the 16 top 100 lists as a live performance. (HINT: It’s not Stairway to Heaven or Whipping Post)

This answer to this question is unchanged.

TRIVIA #2 – Two studio versions of the same song, performed by different artists, each appeared in at least one of the 16 top 100 lists considered. Name the song and the two artists that performed the song.

Now there are two songs that are performed by two different artists.

TRIVIA #3 – Not including anything by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who or Pink Floyd, which four albums are tied for having the most songs included in the 16 top 100 lists considered here?

Born to Run is no longer one of the right answers. Two albums (one formerly tied with BTR, and another that was one song behind BTR in this category) have overtaken BTR.

So, two albums have five songs that appear in at least one of my top 100 countdowns.

GENERAL HINT: None of the trivia answers had to have specifically appeared in Lunchie’s top 100, although some or all of them might have.

I would've loved for this album to place in the winner's circle. I bet so would've Keith Hernandez.

Sunshine of Your Love is the only Disraeli song to appear in my spreadsheet. Other candidates would be Strange Brew, Tales of Brave Ulysses and Swlabr. If you're into deep album cuts World of Pain and We're Going Wrong, then you like Cream.

I'll re-post the questions, in an effort to clarify the state of things and trivia:



TRIVIA #1 – Name the only song that appeared in at least one of my spreadsheet top 100 lists as a studio song and in at least one of my spreadsheet top 100 lists as a live performance. (HINT: It’s not Stairway to Heaven or Whipping Post or Dazed and Confused)


TRIVIA #2 – Two different songs, each one performed by two different artists, appeared in at least one of my spreadsheet top 100 lists considered. Name the two songs and the artists that performed each song.

One right answer is You Really Got Me, The Kinks and Van Halen (Edgy DC)

TRIVIA #3 – Not including anything by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who or Pink Floyd, which two albums are tied for having the most songs included in my spreadsheet top 100 lists considered here (five songs)?


GENERAL HINT: None of the trivia answers had to have specifically appeared in Lunchie’s top 100 list, although some or all of them might have.
