Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
WWII veterans were obsessed with underwear. That's the only possible conclusion I can draw.
What Should Be The Next Madness Bracket?
- Thread starter Wolf
- Start date
Our soldiers who fought in World War II probably did have to change their underwear quite often, if you get my meaning.
For some reason the DRC Madness page on my website keeps going to restricted because of Google Sites. I don't think there is any offensive words or maybe Madness is trademark by NCAA and I can't use it? I been playing with some other alternate Madness words and I might have something working now. I might know by this weekend,
With DRC Madness #21 winding down. The next one will be sometime in April. I believe having one every 3 months is good enough.
Comic Strips were the runner up and Scotch suggested having one for Musicians that past away.
Anybody have any new ideas down the road?
I was thinking of maybe redoing the Music Madness again. This time maybe do a certain decade where that band were in there prime, starting out, came or go, etc.
Maybe this time, it gives another band a chance of winning beside the Beatles.

I still like comic strips and dead musicians.
But another idea is that in 2013 (just before they broke the Hot 100), Billboard revealed the top 100 "hot 100" songs of all time for their 55th anniversary (any lists after 2013 are invalid to me).
The order was based on points assigned to rankings on the Hot 100, adjusted for different eras. Before SoundScan data began tabulating sales in 1991, less reliable retail and radio reports fed into calculations. The first Hot 100 chart, which blended sales and airplay data, made its debut in August 1958.
The list is here:

For some dumb reason, all rankings are 100 more than they're supposed to be, eg #1 is #101 and #100 is #200. Odd, but easy to compensate for.
But we could decide what DRC thinks the best "All-Time Hot 100 Song" is.

Based solely on chart position – weeks at number one, weeks in the top ten, weeks in the top 40, weeks on the Hot 100 – the biggest song since the Hot 100 chart debuted in August 1958 is Old Town Road by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus from 2019. It has sold more than 15 million copies in the United States. I feel ill.

The #3 song was only a #2 peak on Hot 100. Some of the ordering does not make that much sense. But not much to dispute on the songs on the 100 aside from the obvious mistake of the Nickelback song.I still like comic strips and dead musicians.

Yep. It's a disgrace. That's why I like the idea of using the 2013 list. Right before they completely broke it.
Don't be complain about your overloads up there and your Prime Minister Celine.
I wanted to upload the past Madness results on my Google drive and my thumb drive is screwed up which I lost some important files. Originally I had them done on an Excel spreadsheet. I wanted to have an PDF version on my site which anyone can view the past results, which I normally post here lately. So now I'm going through the old threads and have to retype everything. This time, I'm not including who nominated whom.
It's fun reliving the past madness's, currently I have Madness #18 - 21 done.

Fun! Can't wait
For October, how about the AFI 100. There's the original (1998), then the 10th anniversary (2007). There are 23 movies from '98 not on the 2007, making it 123 films. We'd only need 5 more!
That said, I think I've seen less than 1/3rd of them. Pre-1980, I've only seen six of them.

I probably only seen half of those films.
I don't know what's the updated list. Me personally I would add:
Star Wars
Indiana Jones
Titanic
Avatar
Infinity War
I like the idea of voting on the top movies – and I propose an additional DRC Madness for Disney movies. We would vote on the best. There is no need to vote on the worst. We already know the worst are G-Force, The Black Cauldron and Mars Needs Moms.
I like the movie G-Force and I consider The Black Cauldron a classic. I never seen Mars Needs Moms.
