So...we had a tie for the next artist. The only problem is, half of the tie is our newest addition to the ballot - Sonic Youth. The other half is a band that's waited a while to get their due. You've at least probably seen them in a few recent personal rankdowns (and their Alt rankdown debut is coming soon, in 1991, though various sideprojects have been appearing recently) - it's the Pixies! Artist | Votes | Times on Ballot | Pixies | 8 | 13 | Sonic Youth | 8 | 1 | Modest Mouse | 7 | 10 | Led Zeppelin | 7 | 6 | Queen | 6 | 14 | Cocteau Twins | 6 | 10 | The Strokes | 6 | 5 | Rush | 6 | 1 | A Perfect Circle | 5 | 15 | LCD Soundsystem | 5 | 11 | Siouxsie and The Banshees | 5 | 9 | The Cars | 4 | 22 | Rage Against the Machine | 4 | 16 | Mastodon | 4 | 15 | Jimmy Eat World | 4 | 8 | 311 | 3 | 17 | Paramore | 3 | 16 | Interpol | 3 | 5 | Collective Soul | 2 | 3 |
Collective Soul received only two votes, so they're falling off the ballot. But they do get a replacement - Björk! Your artist votes
And here's the form where you'll be listing your 10 favorite Pixies songs!
Tentative deadline is August 19th.

^ Thank you! I was just looking at the list on what's due over the next week and said to myself "I have no idea how I'm going to get that in on-time..."

I actually already forgot what songs I specifically picked lol. I think, though, that I chose 2 from Come On Pilgrim, 3 from Surfer Rosa, 2 from Doolittle, 1 from Bossanova, and 2 from Trompe Le Monde. I left out some pretty popular songs, and my #1 is likely to be the most left-field of all the participants.

Okay, I'm giving one very last extension to Thursday, August 29th; results should be posted sometime on Friday. Since my prior post, I've gotten ballots from commerce196, newpoweR, American Idiot, and alexcuse.

i appreciate the extension. I've listened to few of their singles, and I'm just not getting a top 10 here. I'll dig a deeper. maybe I'll find better songs in the form of album tracks? That usually happens when I'm not a big fan of a band.

Would it be possible to vote for bands without giving a top 10 list= I really dont have much to do with the bands being chosen recently.

IDK. The album cuts are even more too off my radar. I always thought they would sound like a New Wave band? Am I the only one who gets a sort of Nirvana atmosphere from some of the bass lines of these songs or those off tune melodies? A few of these have more of a Nirvana "party rock" vibe, but I think I'm gonna sit this one out for obvious reasons. For the record I came up with a top 5. I imagine you guys would have the same problem coming up with a Winger top 10? That's why I don't nominate them.
1. Letter To Memphis 2. Rock Music At least a song titled "Rock Music" sorta delivers. 3. Here Comes Your Man 4. Blown Away 5. Monkey Gone To Heaven

A shocking outcome, thought Where Is My Mind? would have this in the bag. (Debaser only one point away from the win though :'( ) Some big takeaways here: the title of "Monkey Gone to Heaven" is hard to write correctly, and there are people out there who would actually place some of their post-reunion work amongst their best. Rank | Song | Album | Points | Number of picks | Highest rank | 1 | Here Comes Your Man | Doolittle (1989) | 69 | 9 | 2 | 2 | Debaser | Doolittle (1989) | 68 | 9 | 1 | 3 | Where Is My Mind? | Surfer Rosa (1988) | 67 | 9 | 1 | 4 | Monkey Gone to Heaven | Doolittle (1989) | 61 | 9 | 1 | 5 | Wave of Mutilation | Doolittle (1989) | 40 | 8 | 2 | 6 | Hey | Doolittle (1989) | 32 | 6 | 1 | 7 | Velouria | Bossanova (1990) | 31 | 7 | 4 | 8 | Gigantic | Surfer Rosa (1988) | 28 | 6 | 3 | 9 | Caribou | Come On Pilgrim (1987) | 23 | 4 | 3 | 10 | Bone Machine | Surfer Rosa (1988) | 19 | 3 | 3 | 11 | Motorway to Roswell | Trompe le monde (1991) | 17 | 5 | 1 | 12 | I Bleed | Doolittle (1989) | 15 | 5 | 6 | 13 | Gouge Away | Doolittle (1989) | 13 | 2 | 1 | 14 | The Holiday Song | Come On Pilgrim (1987) | 13 | 2 | 2 | 14 | Head On | Trompe le monde (1991) | 13 | 2 | 2 | 16 | Dig for Fire | Bossanova (1990) | 12 | 2 | 3 | 17 | Alec Eiffel | Trompe le monde (1991) | 11 | 3 | 4 | 18 | Tame | Doolittle (1989) | 11 | 3 | 5 | 19 | Break My Body | Surfer Rosa (1988) | 11 | 3 | 6 | 20 | Bagboy | EP3 (2014) | 10 | 1 | 1 | 21 | Planet of Sound | Trompe le monde (1991) | 8 | 1 | 3 | 22 | La La Love You | Doolittle (1989) | 7 | 1 | 4 | 23 | Vamos | Come On Pilgrim (1987) | 6 | 1 | 5 | 24 | On Graveyard Hill | Beneath the Eyrie (2019) | 5 | 1 | 6 | 25 | Mr. Grieves | Doolittle (1989) | 4 | 1 | 7 | 26 | Letter to Memphis | Trompe le monde (1991) | 3 | 2 | 9 | 27 | Nimrod's Son | Come On Pilgrim (1987) | 3 | 1 | 8 | 28 | Silver | Doolittle (1989) | 2 | 1 | 9 | 29 | Space (I Believe In) | Trompe le monde (1991) | 1 | 1 | 10 | 29 | Crackity Jones | Doolittle (1989) | 1 | 1 | 10 | 29 | No. 13 Baby | Doolittle (1989) | 1 | 1 | 10 |

"Letter To Memphis" at #26 what a travesty. To me it sounded like a career best and we got to rank it on out next Alt RD. "Here Comes Your Man" is a good winner as well.

Debased dropped out of my top ten at the very end to place as my #11, which I’m glad now to keep it out of #1 spot.
