Before we begin today's reveals (within the next hour probably), does anyone see a pattern in this?

Despite having a relatively low SD, #10 does see two #1s go. No one ranked this bottom 10.

#9 was top 10 the entire time. However, it was also top 5 the entire time until the end. This has the 9th highest standard deviation.

Wait Tunnels out already? The intro is the best moment of the band's career Also Daryl the Beryl you kept The Suburbs in "Still in the running" even though it is out already.

Funeral song vs. Funeral song. Both of these have bottom 10 rankers, but #1 has the 10th lowest standard deviation. One of them has two #1s, the other has only #1. What will it be?

10. Keep the Car Burnin' (24): I did like this one, and I had it ranked up to #15 at some point., but I ended liking other Springsteen-esque songs better as others felt a bit more dynamic and complex. 9. Rebellion (23): Idem 8. Sprawl (1): oh, gee! This sounds quite sublime, like ready for a daydream or for a long drive by the ocean or a time looking at the sunset. Love it and it's one of my favorites from any band this decade 7. Reflektor (2): I knew this would miss the top 10 as it may be seen too poppy. Love it too. 6. Neighborhood #1 (3): Another strong song. My top 3 were songs I was familiar with. Good to see them in the top 10 anyway :) 5. Intervention (7): My second best discovery for this RD. Quite strong and emotional. Was pretty close to my top 5... maybe with more time...

WHEEEEEEEEEEE!
Sure, I love "Neighborhood #3" as much as the next person, but "Wake Up" is one of my favorite songs ever. So happy to see it win this.
As always, great job hosting this, Daryl. Now, let's turn our attention to another rankdown currently going on... :kii:

7. Reflektor (2): I knew this would miss the top 10 as it may be seen too poppy. Love it too. You meant top 5 possibly? Also interesting to see the song it sampled is ranked one place higher.

Great top 3. No Cars Go sounds grand enough. Power Out does the panic feeling well. And the ending of Wake Up actually complements the song instead of being odd. And thanks for hosting the rankdown! Hope this will be a guide for those who wants to get into one of the greatest bands ever.

I think that one was a first listen, didn't remember it until re-listening to it just now, I just don't like the vocal performance at all. Had no idea this song was so popular either, sorry I tanked it
