Seems to me like this poll will mainly attract rock fans and will be boring (not that I don't like rock).I don't have a working music library that seems to let me order by track length (on winamp) so I feel useless, hence maybe why I'm grumbling.But thanks to whomever nominated Newsom and Jorge Ben.

I'll tackle 2:00 songs tonight. I don't know, though--as a matter of common sense, if you have a song that clocks in at 2:00 on one of your media players, the song itself must be under 2:00 allowing for the dead space before and after the song, which is 1-2 seconds minimum.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 19 February 2019 12:45 (five years ago) link
I had completely underestimated this exercise, the number of songs runs way into the four-digits and it seems to be an art in itself, plenty of these ditties are wonderful little constructions, whether they're short songs, intros, ad-libs, to the point where I'm thinking we should have done genre / purpose subcategories (and maybe a Madlib - Jay Dee special fightoff). I mean, it's really bad.

― Nabozo, Tuesday, 19 February 2019 13:01 (five years ago) link
Same boat of underestimation, Nabozo. I got 11 day on iTunes! Though as I have a lot of live performances I think the vast majority of this are intros, encore breaks, outros, abandoned songs etc.
I also largely ignored punk, grindcore, metal, and short classical pieces from larger movements because there is nothing "special" about the song being short. Though this was really just a coping mechanism to filter down what I had to look through to something manageable.
