The TOP THREE Scores

All originally listed composers are now up to date. Every change at their Top 3 is marked red (yesterday´s still included).

I also managed to add each and everyone of the missing new composers (even those where I´m sure you were kidding me). All new composers´ names are marked red (yesterday´s included).

I even managed to include vote lists. Every voter in this TOP THREE scores topic has been taken into account, as well as the old voters from the specific composer topics of Arnold, Barry, Doyle, Goldsmith, Horner, Howard, Jones, Williams, and Zimmer.

* behind a name means that your last counting vote was in the specific composer topics. That should make it easier for you to find your old vote if you want to change them.

From now on, whenever you want to CHANGE your vote (a new score changes everything, or you have other reason to change your vote), please look up your old vote, list it again and then your new vote, so that I can see what´s different and take that into account.

Nautilus, I don´t have time to look up your old votes for you; please do me the favour and look them up for yourself, please.

You can now officially start to vote again, BUT please keep in mind that the voter lists for Arnold, Barry, Doyle, Goldsmith, Horner, Howard, Jones, Williams, and Zimmer list not only the voters from here, but from the composer´s specific topics as well. If you want to vote again, please check the voter list for that composer to find out were to look for your old vote.

By the way, there is an error in the Tuomas Kantelinen list. The Year Of The Wolf and Suden Vuosi are the same movie.

Thank you very much for pointing it out. I hope you can forgive me, but there was no way in hell I could have known this.

@Nautilus: I checked the voter lists for you. You´ve already voted on Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, and Hans Zimmer in the composers´ specific topics. If you want you three new votes to be counted, please look up your old votes and quote them.

You other votes will be included during the next update.

Thank you.

That´s it for tonight, guys.

This has been a hell of a ride those last two days, but now we have a very large and, as I think, good list to look at and to discuss about. After all, this is not only about voting, but about discussing the results, as well.

Now that the lists are finished and working again, I hope to do the first regular update in months at some time this weekend. It will start with the counting of Nautilus´ votes he posted today.

Have fun!

Thanks for welcoming me back, mates.

Just for fun (and to start discussions), I have another list for you; it contains every score which managed to get at least 14 points. I settled on 14 points because that´s what was needed to get Conan into that list.

I´d guess this would make a perfect beginner´s collection, then... It is, however, at least a damn fine list, I would say...

Ahem... th-thanks, g-guys...

Well, I´ve just decided that updates will be done one voter at a time.

Now, what do you guys think about this Top Three business, after it´s up and running again...?

What do you think about how the lists are done and organized? What about the results (for those composers where results could be counted as such (at least ten voters))? Anything else you wanna say?

I´m thinking about adding another feature to the voter lists. The date of vote. That should help massively finding your old votes and quoting them, even if it makes the voter lists a bit longer. I thought about a short six digit code (071215=YYMMDD). It should be obvious that I´ll need some time to add those, but I think we need something like that, or this will get out of hand, sooner or later.
