Divaman: The History of SOTD (So Far)

SlothcoreSam 05.14.20	I am trying to think of what the theme is here??????
bloodshy 05.14.20	none
ArsMoriendi 05.14.20	I don't know, but there's at least 7 albums here I like.
JustJoe. 05.14.20	the suspense is palpable
JustJoe. 05.14.20	wait now i know
MrSirLordGentleman 05.14.20	whatever the theme is, I like eighteen of these albums so good list nevertheless
bloodshy 05.14.20	orange you glad it isn't pulpable?
budgie 05.14.20	the fuck is this
JustJoe. 05.14.20	😂
JustJoe. 05.14.20	it’s a list chronicling [redacted]
SlothcoreSam 05.14.20	i know i know i know. It is song of the Day stats!!!!!!!!
JustJoe. 05.14.20	bingo
SlothcoreSam 05.14.20	Do i get a prize?
JustJoe. 05.14.20	unless that was a secret then it’s not bingo
JustJoe. 05.14.20	this is a very sad reminder that i lost terribly many times
Divaman 05.14.20	neeka, or anyone, let me know if you see anything wrong (other than that I've got way too much time on my hands. Going back in for 2019.
SlothcoreSam 05.14.20	Awesome idea for a list. Can i make a request? Can you add the average score for the winning song, and how many votes it got?
Minushuman24 05.14.20	Aw!! This is great. I've been around since August 2018 I think and my first rec was Halah. I need to get back into the swing of things
budgie 05.14.20	aaand i look over nooow throoough the dooooor and i stiiil belooooong to noooone eeeelse
JustJoe. 05.14.20	you could do like top 3 of each month
Divaman 05.14.20	Sorry Sloth, but I compiled all my info this afternoon. Maybe if I feel inspired in a couple of days I'll go back. And sorry Joe, but it took all afternoon just to compile the highest rate single song each month. I'm definitely not going to have time to go back for the top three.
Divaman 05.14.20	Already, sucking oxygen here, but going back in for the first four months of 2020.
JustJoe. 05.14.20	no worries divadude 🙂
Divaman 05.14.20	Thanks for understanding, Joe. If it was a simpler request, I'd think about giving it a shot.
Minushuman24 05.14.20	So many great songs
SlothcoreSam 05.14.20	Hey, all good, this is great regardless. I have two winning songs. 😍
budgie 05.14.20	still think the wagner pick is cheating
SlothcoreSam 05.14.20	Fuck off you poor excuse for a parrot!!
budgie 05.14.20	the fact i've only won once confirms my long standing suspicion that you all have regrettable tastes in music flies away
JustJoe. 05.14.20	well that’s not very nice
budgie 05.14.20	except joe he cool
JustJoe. 05.14.20	very nice 🥰
Divaman 05.14.20	Dammit budgie! Always pooping on our gravel paper.
Divaman 05.14.20	I just added a link to a YouTube playlist above. It seems to work. (At least it did for me.) Very diverse group of songs.
Minushuman24 05.14.20	I have surprisingly won twice as well. I def either end up near the top, oooor people just don't get the song and it gets passed over which makes me sad
JohnnyoftheWell 05.14.20	wow the aggregate has boring taste lol
Trifolium 05.14.20	Omg this list is perfect!!! What a great idea Diva!
dedex 05.14.20	you even created a playlist out of it we don't deserve you
deathofasalesman 05.14.20	cool list dude good to know not to suggest hardcore or hip-hop cuz that'll never happen
neekafat 05.14.20	Makes me so so happy that this is still a thing, thanks for doing this Diva! Who won the most months? (;
anat 05.14.20	sure have been a lot of months where the theme was pandering
Pangea 05.14.20	great list! it's really nice to see the history of this
neekafat 05.14.20	Diva you should credit who came up with the spreadsheet! That was a huge timesaver
Divaman 05.14.20	You know what, neeka? I thought about doing that, then decided against it, because I didn't want to attract any troublemakers who aren't interested in taking part in the contest to the spreadsheet. I still remember what happened last summer.
ArsMoriendi 05.14.20	Oh yay good list
ian b 05.14.20	now this,,,, this is the quality content i signed up for goddammit
Divaman 05.14.20	Thanks guys. neeka did a really good thing creating SOTD, and kudos to all of you who have been a part of it and kept it going for almost two and half years so far.
Divaman 05.14.20	Hi deathofasalesman. I hope this list won't intimidate you from rec'ing a song from any genre. I'll admit, I'm personally not big on either hip-hop or hardcore, and I haven't been shy about expressing that when songs have come up from those genres that I haven't liked. But the idea of SOTD isn't so much to have best score of the month (nice as that feels), it's to expose people to different kinds of music that you feel are worthwhile. Certainly some of my recs haven't gone over well (especially anything with emo-style vocals), but I guarantee you it won't stop me from rec'ing songs in the future, even when I think I'm going to get hammered ratings-wise. Rec what you like, and what you value.
garas 05.14.20	"Artist: My favourite, Rec'd By: Divaman, Host: Divaman" This was perfect, haha! Good list.
Divaman 05.14.20	Thanks garas.
ArsMoriendi 05.14.20	garas hasn't hosted yet? I'm surprised, but fearful of what garas theme would be like Especially since we already did Songs of winter
garas 05.14.20	Yeah, I haven't hosted a month yet. I'm not creative enough... I'd like to throw something extraordinary into the cap, but I'm afraid that'd result just a very few recs etc. It is challenging!
neekafat 05.14.20	What happened last summer??
neekafat 05.14.20	Wait so do I have the canon most wins with 4??
Divaman 05.15.20	I think so. And remember someone went into the worksheet and locked us all out of it?
bgillesp 05.16.20	Dang I fell off again. Awesome memorial list though. I was there for the first year of this but life got busy this year. To anyone thinking about joining, it was super fun so try it out!
neekafat 05.16.20	Oh man I forgot about all of that diva
Divaman 06.04.20	Updated for May.
Trifolium 06.04.20	Oh wow! Didn't realise Monolake went that well!! Good to see it up here.
Divaman 07.02.20	Called June for Labi Siffre. If there's a late surge for Goldfrapp or Wardruna, I can always change it. But right now, it's looking pretty solid. Congrats, someone.
Trifolium 07.02.20	Lovely tune, it deserved the win.
Divaman 07.02.20	I rated the Goldfrapp higher, but the people have spoken.
Divaman 08.01.20	I've updated this list for July. I usually try to wait a few days longer (I actually updated the list yesterday), but in this case, the winning song is so far ahead in the ratings that nobody else is even close. (No disrespect to Blonde Redhead, who came in second). Congrats on the win, Zak.
Trifolium 08.01.20	It was a nice month once again! The theme spiced up the recs a little which was nice. The Gathering was my fave.
Divaman 08.01.20	I liked the theme, but I think it might have been the lowest rated month I ever had.
Divaman 08.01.20	I'm wrong. This past April was lower.
ArsMoriendi 09.02.20	Hi
Divaman 09.02.20	Hi Ars. Just about ready to call August.
Dewinged 09.02.20	This is wonderful. I actually didn't know I won twice! lol
Divaman 09.02.20	You're the man, Dewi.
Divaman 09.02.20	Updated for August 2020. Congratulations dedex.
Pangea 09.02.20	hell yeah deserved win
deathofasalesman 09.03.20	Solid choice and review!
Divaman 10.02.20	Updated.
Divaman 11.03.20	Updated for October 2020
dedex 11.03.20	nice
Divaman 12.05.20	Congrats to Minushuman24, coming in for the late win.
Minushuman24 12.22.20	oh yay
Divaman 01.03.21	Updated for December 2020.
Trifolium 01.03.21	Ah, not my fave winner from the bunch. Really appreciate you doing this Diva.
budgie 01.03.21	wow my depressive suicidal black metal rec didn't win? bullshit
dedex 01.04.21	damn shame
Divaman 01.04.21	It's still early, but looks like Sigur Ros might win two months in a row. With 10 votes in already, it has a pretty impressive score.
Divaman 02.03.21	List has been updated for January 2021.
Trifolium 02.03.21	👌
Pangea 02.03.21	boooo slint
Divaman 03.07.21	Updated for February 2021. Congratulations to Cygnatti, who recommended the winning track.
Minushuman24 03.30.21	woops almost put my SOTD thoughts in this thread
Divaman 04.02.21	No point in waiting any longer on this one. Updated for March 2021. Congratulations to porcupinetheater.
Divaman 05.01.21	Updated for April 2021. Congrats to ieatbabies795.
Demon of the Fall 05.01.21	This looks cool 👍
Divaman 05.01.21	You're welcome to get involved, Demon. Ars Moriendi is hosting the May Song of the Day list, which opened yesterday, and there are still spots open. The theme for the month is songs under a minute long. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=196135
RunOfTheMill 05.26.21	First off, big love to Diva for making this list. I was furiously scrounging around for a song that was rec'd a few years ago, so here's some links if it can be of any use to anyone I guess?? July 2018: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1077377&listid=182042 August 2018: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1077377&listid=182551 September 2018: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1068507&listid=182966 October 2018: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1068043&listid=183342 November 2018: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=183835 December 2018: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1077377&listid=184377 January 2019: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1077377&listid=185070 (I found the song, it was Gameun Deut by Mid-Air Thief)
Josh D. 05.26.21	The History of System of the Downs

Divaman 07.01.21	Updated. Congrats to nolerthebowler.
Divaman 08.04.21	Updated. Congrats to ArsMoriendi (even if he did sweep in on the last day of the month and barely nudge out MY rec for the victory!)
neekafat 08.04.21	Woo!!
Divaman 08.04.21	neeka! SOTD's creator! How does it feel to see your creation live on for three-and-a-half years now?
neekafat 08.04.21	Honestly it makes me really happy and proud every time I see it pop up on the front page (: I feel guilty for not being more involved with it now, but I'm thankful that there are people who enjoy and care about it that aren't as lazy as I am lmao
Divaman 08.04.21	Hey, life happens. We hope you'll make it back some day, but there's nothing wrong with creating something and then leaving it in the hands of others while you go do other stuff.
neekafat 08.04.21	Now I know how executive producers feel :')
bgillesp 08.05.21	I feel ya neek. I didn’t help create it but I used to help out a lot and now am too lazy to participate. I’ve tried to start back a few times but haven’t been successful yet
ArsMoriendi 08.05.21	rate my song from July it's a classic
ArsMoriendi 08.05.21	(both of them, though people would rather listen to background video game music than funny musical theater...so maybe skip the first one if you're one of those
neekafat 08.05.21	fine, maybe (;
Divaman 08.07.21	Apologies to DivergentThinking for accidentally leaving him out as host of July 2021. I had him in there the first time, but then Sputnik ate my list, and I see that when I recreated it I accidentally left him out. But he's there now.
Divaman 09.04.21	Updated. Congrats to Aberf for rec'ing the winning song for August.
Divaman 10.01.21	Updated. Congrats to Uzumaki for reciting the winning song for September.
ArsMoriendi 10.01.21	tbh I couldn't see What a Wonderful World not winning that month, it's just that kinda song
ArsMoriendi 11.01.21	So who won
deathofasalesman 11.01.21	might be (sigh) ...ye
ArsMoriendi 11.01.21	I 1'd that one, so hopefully not
SlothcoreSam 11.01.21	I'm giving it a couple more days to see if anyone else puts in their scores before declaring a winner
Divaman 11.01.21	Yeah, I think Ars killed Kanye. (But I helped.)
Divaman 11.06.21	Sam has officially called it. The winner is widowslaugh123 with his rec of "Flashlight" by Parliament. Congrats to widowslaugh, and good job by SlothcoreSam.
tectactoe 11.06.21	Nice, honored that my legacy will be preserved now ✌🏻
