Thanks Brian. I understand and agree with what you say. I actually think it is a great system. It is the humans who use the system that are flawed and there is no way to improve their taste or judgment skills other than by education. I do feel that the most valuable suggestion is to increase the time a song HAS to be listened to before judging. Too often especially in rock and similar categories the song does not get a fair hearing as it maybe slow to build up. I also believe that the draw decision is used too often. Perhaps if they had to choose one over the other it might prove fairer. I also think that the Rock genre should be looked at and perhaps sub divided into smaller more manageable sections. 1400+ entries is IMO too large and too many songs to be judged fairly especially when other categories have just 100-200 or so entries. I am not being negative just trying to improve upon an already great site.
