UM "You Pick 2" Tier List

Umphrey's Discussion

Love Ex1 being an A for so many. It rarely goes very far but it’s as Umphrey’s a song as you’ll hear. Love that urban legend, Ex. 1 in a setlist seems like a good lodestar for good setlist writing.

FF is a generic white boy reggae song, so I had to go C.

Front Porch was a toughie. But pretty quintessential song and it brought us the Front Porch Set.

FF has spawned some of the greatest jams ever so it is an A, but the song itself is just OK.

Front Porch is overrated, I can’t think of any JOTY versions and it’s a set eater with corny as hell lyrics

Wonder what the -Bort consensus is on this, but any song that took over as THE year’s jam vehicle (Red Tape '11, HBB/N2F/DBK in the early years) probably gets an A-tier minimum? I can’t really think of a counterexample, and jam quality seems to be influencing people’s voting anyway.




EDIT: Frantically tries to hide C-tier vote on Famtachments

I think front porch 2020 was the best jam that year, the vip one that’s 30min long

Front Porch from the 2013 Raleigh ice storm is really good as is the 2013 New Years version. The New Years version is def HoF

I’d say mantis is in the top slots for the version of this we’ve been getting the last couple years

I’m not sure if you’ve mentioned this in planned metrics, but if you figure the UMfriend thing out, it might be cool to see how far away each voter is from the average consensus. I assume this would only be possible if the voter has voted in all songs, unless you want to do some sort of imputation.

Yep I’m tracking everyone’s ratings against the consensus, so I can do what I did with sociablebenny for everyone (ie you voted with the popular tier x% of the time and weighted tier y% of the time, and you typically vote over/under the winning tier)
