SotW - Actual Contest Versus Top Ten List?

I know there have been long discussions of a SotW Best of Contest encompassing the full year of music on it. That time has obviously arrived with this week being the 52nd.

I believe the door hasn't been fully shut on a contest, though there was sentiment that a Battle of Battles would settle the deal.

Though nothing official has been declared, can I propose an alternative? How about a personal Top Ten list of your ten favorite tracks from SotW's first full year? It's simple, easy -- and gives a broad idea of what everybody's tastes have been through this odyssey.

Here would be the point where I put my own list in to get it started, but damn if I don't have time for it right now. Either someone else will do it and get it started, or we'll discuss some more and I'll watch this thread die a natural death.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Every song ever nominated. Obviously everyone can't recall every single song, but I would think there are others like me who have been keeping their favorites along the way. Now that I'm done this huge project, perhaps I'll have time to put such a list together.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'd be really disappointed if people just listed their own noms. That wasn't even my aim, and there's so much good music that coming up with 10 songs that aren't yours should be easy.

I'm not suggesting this as a comprehensive contest, just a way to see what people really liked.

[Edit: Now I realize people nominated songs that I had already listened to and enjoyed immensely, and feasibly those could make the list. But screw it, mine would be all tracks that were new to me.]

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This would be my list, 10 new songs that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Uncharted Waters II -- Southern Twilight ~ Dance on a Cape of Good Hope: I wouldn’t hesistate to call it my favorite of the whole shebang. Besides destroying my preconceptions of Yoko Kanno, it’s given me an elegant jazz piece that’s staggeringly complete and whole despite such a marked shift between the two sections. The middle interlude at 3:10-ish is heavenly.

Now in no particular order (it ends up being alphabetical anyway):

Aka – To The West: An oldie in this contest but a favorite. Being a sucker for piano doesn’t hurt this track.

Age of Wonders – Snowscapes: Smart, moody stuff from Michiel van den Bos.

Air – Summer Lights: I also like the Clannad piece that Shinji Orito did, but this track is exquisitely elegant (and shockingly another piano track).

Dune Spice Opera – Exxos – Wake Up: It’s an odd piece, but also atmospheric and intriguing.

Gitarooman – The Legendary Theme (Album Version): Great stuff. Simple guitar melody, but so catchy in its conception that it's hard not to love it.

Kukeiha Club – Quiero Voar: I wish I could put my finger on what that main instrument is. Reminds me of another song I can’t remember. The whole thing is so sweet and bucolic without being too saccharine.

Kukeiha Club – Power of Anger: Surprisingly, two Kukehia songs on here. Love the measured of use guitar in the beginning.

Music Contest 6 (Hornet Arc.) – Carpe Diem: Infectiously upbeat.

Tie: Spin Jam – In-Game Music 1/Ratchet and Clank -- Distribution Facility ~Planet Smolg~/Sim City 4 – Oasis: I couldn’t pick a final one with a clear conscience.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
