Notes on rare songs (OTH):
Some other perspectives to the results:
65 songs have been ranked 1st at least once!
With the same calculation, "Death To The Pixies" compilation gets 668.3 points and "At The BBC" 377...
186 people cited the Amps in their answer. Excluding the Pixies from the count, here are the results (there has been once a tie):
Argentina Australia Belgium Brazil Canada Chile Croatia Danemark Ecuador Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hong Kong Ireland Israel Italy Malaysia Mexico Netherlands New Zealand Norway Portugal South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland UK USA
