I'm happy to reveal #5-7, which contain my 2 personal favorite songs in the competition, as well as the first (of 5 obviously) that achieved a composite score in the "Legendary" range.

Tomorrow we will wrap this up with the final four.

Well I think it's safe to say that no matter how the Final Four ends up, the Epcot Millennium Celebration is the huge winner of this countdown. I never would have guessed it myself, but the results are in.

Celebrate the Future Hand in Hand was at 20
Tapestry of Nations at 14
We Go On at 7 and its "remix" Promise at 13

Absolutely amazing. I thought that maybe We Go On wouldn't be on the list because Promise was on there, but both made it. Congrats to that celebration.

:sohappy: That sounds about right. Not sure how I scored these but I am glad they are on the list. It seems Epcot really has a good music record.

Well this is certainly going to be interesting to see how these last few pan out. One thing is for sure, I think we all can agree on the 4 songs left on the list: Yo Ho, Grim Grinning Ghosts, It's A Small World, and of course the theme from Tapestry of Dreams

;)

VERY interesting! Shocked that Wishes didn't rank higher.:(

Im not. I guess since it is a "show" that will get replaced eventually and most of the top 15 are still around or extinct attractions that are extremely nostalgic. Im not a lover or hater of WISHES. Just indifferent. It has never moved me as a piece. not sure why.

Mr.EPCOT said:
Are you kidding? I was shocked that it wasn't way lower. It just defines generic Disney to me. It's pleasant, it's a little catchy, but it's just so uncreative, and indicative of how Disney presents itself nowadays. Wishes, dreams, magic, repeat. Blech.

I thought it would be in the #20 range.

:sohappy: #5. Yep, my top 5 is shaping up. Although, I thought Golden Dreams would have been in there, but I guess there is only enough room at the top for all the classic, never going to die, epic MK original songs.

I dont have the time... can we get a complete list recap.

Wow. I thought for sure IASW would be #1. I can't believe GGG beat it out. I can't say that I am unhappy though since I like that song a whole lot better.

Well IMHO GGG beats out IASW simply because it lacks the annoying factor.

Oh trust me you are preaching to the choir there. I just think that based on the criteria given it is #1. It is probably the only song that is known to all people. Think about it, someone who has never been to a Disney park probably still knows that song.

It's a good thing about Grim Grinning Ghosts, that definitely is a classic. At least It's A Small World made it to the number 4 spot. At this point I am not even going to try and guess what number 1 is.
