Vote for the Next List of Crap!

Actually that's a fair point; do the British charts count as well as the US ones?

And what of Purple Drank?

I didn't know that was a real thing. I figured it was your silly way of referring to wine.

It is, generally. I'm just fascinated by the real thing as a concept.

Is there a website to help with this.  I'm sure there is, so let me rephrase that: where is the website.  I have bands from the 80's I like but I don't know what songs by those bands made charts, if any.  I mean, I know the Pixies and Devo were important, but I don't know if they charted (probably Whip It but that's one of my least favourite Devo songs), even on the fringes.

Eighty-EightyNine has all the Billboard Top 40 lists of the 80s.

Yes. US, UK, Australian charts.

Woah, what's all this backlash against Canada and New Zealand all of a sudden?

If you do a search on allmusic.com for the artist, there is a tab on the artist page for charts and awards.  Billboard information would be listed there.

For example - one of my favorite songs from the 80's - "Lonely School" by Tommy Shaw would not be eligible for the list of crap, since according to allmusic.com it only made it up to #60 on the billboard Hot 100.

Since it won't turn up on the eventual list ;

Spoiler

I can't wait for this one.  It'll be fun watching all the clips of the top 50 and hopefully folks will post clips of their also-rans.

I think the big problem with a celebrity crush list would be the simple fact that this forum contains maybe eight females and a gabillion males.

Who came up with celebrity crushes? Cause if it doesn't win, I wouldn't mind suggesting it again for the next round. I would actually do the top 50 males and females as two seperate lists, thus creating a SUPER LIST!!!!!!!!!!!

If the two people that voted for Top Rifftrax films or shorts had voted for my Riff O'Rama poll instead (which would include iRiffs, Film Crew and Cinematic Titanic offerings with the Rifftrax/Rifftrax Presents films and shorts), we'd have a closer race on our hands.

"Top 50 Rifftrax Films or Shorts" and "Top 50 Riff O'Rama (top riffed movies or shorts out of everything, including Rifftrax, CT, Film Crew, and iRiffs - NO MST3K)" should probably be merged and suggested again if neither one of them wins this time.

I'll keep putting my one up until it gets the nod.  One is just a narrower version of the other.  I'd like to see the RT Presents, iRiffs, CT and Film Crew included in a Top 50 with the Rifftrax stuff.  I know that CT and some of the iRiff artists have big followings on here.  I bet a few of them would compete with the Rifftrax stuff on such a list.

No love for video games? I know we can't all be hardcore gamers, but it shouldn't be too hard for even the most casual gamer to come up with 25...

Definitely! I'm in favor of the all-encompassing riff list.

I've already given up on either of my topics making it this time, so I'm already working on my 80's list.  It is going to be spectacularly 80's-riffic!

games, yeah; but characters? not so much.

i kinda like top 100 cause im afraid a lot of what i like wont have made the top 40 but i havent investigated yet.  but whatever happens i shall abide and get a list in!

why is top 40 seperate anyways?

[D.B. Barnes]

Top 100 would really open it up but it would probably result in fewer songs showing up on multiple lists.
