Should i just do just one part and make you all rate 8456 songs in one go because i want to see A Sorta Fairytale lose nn? I love it but it should not have won over Spark, Caught A Lite Sneeze or even Crucify.

Or…
Wait a minute… somebody broke into my rate, took my first place - that’s GROSS!

Oh i just peeped China ranking higher than Professional Widow. Wow…
One of my Pop Square resolutions is to participate in Rates.
I will help remedy some of these injustices.

Wow, I never would have guessed that A Sorta Fairytale won the rate in a million years!
I’m so here for a Tori rate. The amount of B-sides alone that could get my 11…

While we are talking about the rate, let me ask this.
Right now i am thinking of doing 4 parts (that can be 5, seperate for remixes etc) in order to take a breather every now and then.
Would you be more okay with everything in a single part or like two parts at max?
I’d be fine with multiple parts. And if you’re running the show, I’ll follow your lead.

I’d say:
Part 1: up to 2000 (ending on To Venus and Back + Carnival).
Part 2: 2001-2010 (Strange Little Girls to Midwinter Graces).
Part 3: 2011 onwards (Night of Hunters to In Times of Dragons).
But really you should go with whatever feels like you can handle at one time!

Lemme immortalize my ever changing ranking as of my first day here:
- From the Choirgirl Hotel
- Scarlet’s Walk
- To Venus and Back
- Y Kant Tori Read
- Little Earthquakes
- The Beekeeper
- Native Invader
- Under the Pink
- American Doll Posse
- Boys For Pele
- Strange Little Girls
- Abnormally Attracted to Sin
- Unrepentent Geraldines
- Ocean to Ocean
- Night of Hunters
Strange Little Girls leaped a few places with the re-release. It’s a sneaky album (that would be improved with Growin’ Up in place of Happiness Is A Warm Gun).

Yeah, I think for bigger discographies (see Kylie, Madonna and probably Taylor now), a 2-3 parter makes the most sense to break things up a bit.
Also, love a good ranking:
- To Venus and Back
- From The Choirgirl Hotel
- Scarlet’s Walk
- Under The Pink
- Little Earthquakes
- Boys For Pele
- Ocean to Ocean
- Strange Little Girls
- Native Invader
- The Beekeeper
- American Doll Posse
- Abnormally Attracted to Sin
- Unrepentant Geraldines
- Night of Hunters

I think mine looks something like this:
- From the Choirgirl Hotel
= 2. Little Earthquakes
= 2. Boys for Pele
- Scarlet’s Hidden Treasures
- To Venus and Back
- The Beekeeper
- American Doll Posse
- Scarlet’s Walk
- Ocean to Ocean
- Under the Pink
- Unrepentant Geraldines
- Abnormally Attracted to Sin
- Strange Little Girls
- Y Kant Tori Read
- Midwinter Graces
- Native Invader
- Night of Hunters
I couldn’t not include Hidden Treasures. The last two are ones I don’t really come back to much but aren’t bad. Also I haven’t spent enough time with the Muses to figure out where to rank it.

I think we a Native Invader listening party… fascinating to see it ranked so differently by people.
