    Are we voting for the girls who we think have raised AKB, objectively, or is it more about our subjective fave members?

    1. Kashiwagi Yuki - This is mainly because of her soaring increase in popularity and how she ended up a major member of AKB
    2. Watanabe Mayu- Just everything in general
    3. Takahashi Minami- Sokantoku be a good leader y'all~
    4. Oshima Yuko - She is a legend within AKB.
    5. Maeda Atsuko - Another legend, battling with Yuko for ace supremacy and that's mainly what I liked about Yuko and Acchan~
    6. Sashihara Rino - Though she had a rough year in 2012/2013 with being "Exiled" into HKT and having a scandal, her fans truly showed their loyalty to Sasshi by putting her first in SSK~
    7. Minegishi Minami - Another one who had a scandal. She begged for forgiveness and has stayed in AKB, now as captain of Team 4 she has responsiblity on her hands and she is doing well
    8. Kawaei Rina- She is just one big ball of energy~
    ======================================================
    I only have 8 DX

    Pretty much both. Any way you feel like voting is ok (if you feel like the first way, then go right ahead. If you feel like going the 2nd way, then go right ahead)

    Pretty standard list, although I feel bad for leaving off members like CinDy, Kasai, MaiMai, Sae and Erepyon. I think it is fairly certain who the top 10 will turn out to be.

    I thought it would be more fun to try this one objectively, so here goes:

    1. Takahashi Minami - The true leader of the group, and AKB's backbone
    2. Atsuko Maeda - The center who was able to carry the weight of the group for years
    3. Yuko Oshima - A role model for all members, and the creator of AKB's popular rivalry
    4. Mariko Shinoda - The spark that AKB needed to appear different from other idol groups
    5. Sayaka Akimoto - A captain who helped give Team K a sense of independence
    6. Mayu Watanabe - The ace that aimed to be the top rival
    7. Rino Sashihara - Becoming the ultimate underdog, and not missing a step
    8. Yuki Kashiwagi - The popular captain with a signiture voice, establishing herself repeatedly
    9. Yui Yokoyama - A captain for two teams already while offering necessary leadership
    10. Minegishi Minami - Although controversial, she never faltered in supporting the group

    Kami-7 and those who I think made the AKB's variety great and those who boost the public awareness more. I still think Maimai was one of the prominent member and much more powerful than Tomochin. Chiyuu is one big name too. I think that once she graduated, most of her fans detached themselves to the group too and that makes her forgettable.

    Thanks again to @ForrestFuller for the interesting read on the songs! Always looking forward to that haha.

    1) Takahashi Minami - Soutantoku, Captain of Team A, too much to say about her to list.

    2) Maeda Atsuko - Unremmovable Ace of AKB48 before she left.

    3) Akimoto Sayaka - Strong and legendary Captain of Team K, brought Team K through the Golden Period of K3-K6 (IMO the best stages, because so many of my favourite songs are there XD)

    4) Oshima Yuko - Acchan alone as Ace wouldn't suffice, she needs a counterpart, a rival. Yuko plays this role perfectly well, centering the huge hit Heavy Rotation.

    5) Shinoda Mariko - 1.5th Gen, former Captain of Team A, also the Maritrolls~

    6) Minegishi Minami - One of the only first Gen members left. Different from the others, she had her Ups and Downs and now she focusing on nurturing other members within her Team 4.

    7) Yokoyama Yui - Former Captain of Team A, now the Captain of Team K. How many members become captains of two teams?

    8) Kashiwagi Yuki - Though not the shiniest and most outstanding member, she was always able to bring AKB48 to greater heights with her charisma and singing ability, and she always manages to get high votes without massive campaigns.

    9) Watanabe Mayu - This girl joined when she was 12, and was always in the Top 5 of every SSK, maybe she is the ACE now?

    10) Sashihara Rino - Brought a completely new taste into AKB48, adding in variety elements into it.

    Kinda think the girls who made it for AKB are the earlier generations...the guys that developed AKB into regular million sellers...the current favourites really just standing on their shoulders. Some very popular today where nowhere during the important phases in the formative stages and had nothing to do with making AKB a phenomenon. Being suddenly popular for a year or two didn't help make AKB. Lest this become an exercise in putting in our favourites...which I am seeing already.

    YukoxAcchan rivalry was the thing that made AKB this big in the first place. But since I should mention members, it would be like this:
    1. Oshima Yuko - The True Ace for me :1st:
    2. Maeda Atsuko - The Immovable Center
    3. Sashihara Rino - Generally popular and became the top after scandal. Maaaan, that was something no other idol can ever do :^O^:
    4. Minegishi Minami - She brought the best of team 4 potentials and made the better team 4
    5. Shimazaki Haruka - It's a little bit bias but I think her rise of popularity really give a new hope of AKB future, especially to the new gens :inlove:
    6. Takahashi Minami - The one who connects the generations and the model of leadership
    7. Kashiwagi Yuki - Isn't she the original Kami Taiyou? No need further explanation of how HS event is vital to AKB
    8. Watanabe Mayu - AKB is an idol group anyway, so they need someone who can become the icon of perfect idolish idol

    1. Shinoda Mariko - an AKB legend. She entered AKB because of the fans, and her fans never let her down because she's never in front row of Aki-P selected senbatsu but never go any lower than 5 in SSK, and also a true mother of AKB48

    2. Oshima Yuko - Team K builder, SSK winner

    3. Takahashi Minami - 48g builder, true leader of AKB48, one of AKB's 3 centers in their early days

    4. Maeda Atsuko - one of AKB's pioneers. Building the group by centering it and giving it an image, ori center

    5. Urano Kazumi - ori Team B's captain and mother image

    6. Kojima Haruna - one of AKB's pioneers, true sexy queen, one of AKB's 3 centers in its early days

    7. Akimoto Sayaka - Team K's builder, one hell of a captain

    8. Yokoyama Yui - new gen's pioneer alongside paruru, soutankaku candidate

    9. Watanabe Mayu - Team B's ori member, new center of AKB

    10. Oshima Mai - One of AKB's pioneer, a great mother to Team A, I read somewhere on the Internet that she won a poll on AKB's most popular member before SSK existed. Imagine her staying in AKB until atleast 2009 senkyo
