Remembering the Condorcet Poll - Prince's Best Songs

Two years ago, Orger Javi conducted a series of super-cool Condorcet Polls to let other Orgers vote on Prince's best singles, albums, album tracks, b-sides and unreleased songs. The result is this final listing of Prince's best songs as voted on by his fans: http://www.cs.cornell.edu...thm=runoff

The polling process was fun, but I wonder how things have changed now that we've got new, younger Orgers in the mix and Prince has released a slew of random songs. Would "Breakfast Can Wait" be #1? ( eek ).

Thanks a lot, UltraLash! To be fair, the original idea was of orger electricberet, I just continued with it until the end. I think we got a great resource with all the polls.

Yes. The fact is that this was the last poll, the songs selected resulting from all the previous ones, in which each and every album was ranked, as well as the B-Sides and the unreleased songs. Since the last poll had a huge list of songs to rank, less people voted. But on the album polls, at least 50 people took part. The poll with more participation was the Batman one, where almost 100 orgers ranked the songs on the album.
