The 7th Annual Coverville Countdown nominations are in, and now it’s time to vote! And since many folks pointed out that the voting system last year was a little flawed, I’ve revamped it again this year. As before, you can cast a vote for up to five songs, but now each vote only counts as one vote, whether you use one or all five. That should make it a little tougher to “stuff the ballot box”.
Vote for up to five songs using the link above by Sunday, December 19, 2010. That Tuesday, December 21, we’ll begin the five episodes counting down the top 40 covers, as voted on by you!
(Note: While I did make some corrections to songs and artists among the nominations, I’ve made no verification that some of the lesser-known songs in the nomination list actually exist in recorded fashion. If a song makes it into the top 40, but no recorded version exists, it will be removed from the list, and all songs below it will move up a notch.)
Happy voting!
Brian: I’m confused: how are we to indicate our votes? Put ‘1’ for a non-vote and ‘5’ for a vote? I voted for 5 songs and the form told me to fill in something for all songs.
Same here – after voting for 5 songs, it told me I had to answer every single question!
Should be fixed now – had to switch question types.
A bunch of the songs at the end are out of alphabetical order.
Are you talking about the track titles that begin with “The”? See if you can make your way through it. Some programs don’t sort as well as others (or as us humans!) There’s no way for me to reorder them without taking the survey offline and having two databases of data to merge.
I was just pointing out that after ‘(Can’t Help) Falling in Love with You’ by Lick the Tins (covering Elvis Presley) it starts over with ‘Afternoon Delight’ by Van Atta High (covering Starland Vocal Band
If people are looking for one of the songs they nominated they should just be aware it may be in the bottom group.
Good suggestion, David – thanks for the heads-up.
Just wanted to let you know that “Mercy Seat” by Mr. Cash (Nick Cave cover) is listed twice.
Whoops – I’ll merge any votes on that track that came from different IP addresses.
