This is the epitome of a devastating National track. Also, congrats Juanca, your bottom 10 has now been revealed.

It's the second most essential song from Boxer (behind "Fake Empire"), so for it to miss the top 10 is really disappointing, especially when it was there for the most part.

Ouch. Sorry for that. Like "Slow Show," I really liked this, but I think those were lower for me because I hadn't listened to Boxer before this rankdown, while I had listened to HV, TWFM, and SWB, so these hadn't sunk in as much as others.

Great song though, and I can see why it's a fan favorite. (it is also the name of their 2014 documentary) The drumming, like in "Squalor Victoria", is great.

Add "Pink Rabbits" to the list of songs that I'm stunned to see not make the top ten.
1 | 5 | 7 11 | 14 | 20 | 21 | 22 36 | 45
Looks like people are not going to be happy with my rankings for my 36 and 45. 36, I kind of expected. 45, I didn't.

"Mistaken For Strangers" is the song that moved me from a casual observer of The National to a fan, the drums are ridiculous, the lyrics are depressingly accurate and everything about it clicks. Sad to see it out before the Top 10 but the songs that did make it are all fantastic (and in my Top 15) so I don't mind all that much.

Interesting reveals I can see I tanked a couple of sort of favorites. Sorry! Lol England did feel like a 6-minute song to me and it was a bit too monotonous and long and didn't grab me enough to rank it higher With Pink Rabbits, I may have under-ranked it a bit. I felt it was similar to a couple of other songs, but not as good as those, so this was one got the fewest points from me. With 48 new songs to hear for this RD it was impossible to pay much attention to lyrics if a song didn't grab me at first... (same with Sorrow...) Day I die for example was a song that got me pretty quickly. Really liked it at first listen and remained in my top 10. Didn't know it was from their last album

#1 Beno #4 Juanca #5 Troy #10 @humanshazam #11 Web #12 Daryl the Beryl#15 peacebone #36 Red #47 Green Baron Daryl's thoughts on the song and/or song placing: And here we have the most streamed National song ever, at about 54 million streams on Spotify as of now. It's hard not to see why, with the minimalistic instrumentation allowing us to focus on Berninger's vocal delivery and lyrics. That said, this should've been a bit lower, and I think I overranked it. Also, congrats Green Baron, you finally lost your bottom 10.
