You've gotta hear 'the most wanted song as well', it's a lost 80s soul classic. Second verse is a killer.

I'd be up for running a ballot survey and doing this, but I fear the most wanted music would just be overrun with votes for Gaz Coombes and Toilet Duck.

Their 'most wanted painting' survey is all online, but I can't find the music one anywhere, so I'm going to have to make it up from scratch. I am into this idea, though!
― emil.y, Monday, 10 April 2017 19:32 (seven years ago) link
I don't think it was a ranked choice survey, I think some of the questions were yes/no, with some multiple choice.
It was something like this (though I added things here and there)
Genres: pop, rock, R&B, opera, country/western, classical (instrumental), classical (choral), rap, jazz, military/national anthems, electronic dance music, non-idiomatic free improv
Subject matter: love, sex, holidays, food, politics, history, philosophy, art, literature, television and films, family, fashion, transportation, science, religion, jokes
Instruments: guitar, electric bass, drums, flute, piano, organ, electronic noise generators, violin, cello, viola, contrabass, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, tuba, trombone, trumpet, saxophone, sousaphone, flugelhorn, bagpipes, oud, drum machine, field recordings of nature sounds, field recordings of urban sounds, xylophone, classical percussion, ethnic percussion
vccal styles ...

This doesn't really need to be done as The 1975 have put two albums since 2009, so take your pick.
