Foals are a rock band from Oxford, England formed in 2005, consisting of lead vocalist and lead guitarist Yannis Philippakis, drummer and percussionist Jack Bevan, rhythm guitarist Jimmy Smith, and keyboardist Edwin Congreave.
They are currently signed to Warner Bros. Records, and have released four studio albums: Antidotes (2008), Total Life Forever (2010), Holy Fire (2013), What Went Down (2015), one video album, six extended plays and nineteen singles.
The band have toured internationally and have featured at Glastonbury, Coachella and Roskilde festivals. They have won a number of awards, including best live act at the 2013 Q Awards while producers Alan Moulder and Flood were awarded 'UK Producer Of The Year' for their work on the album Holy Fire. - wikipediaso this is a rankdown I've wanted to do for a while now, as foals are one of my favourite bands and they seem to be well liked across the rock board. this won't be too long, just their singles (aside from "Try This on Your Piano/Look at My Furrows of Worry", their first ever single which isn't on spotify) as well as one non-single from each album, decided by which one has the most plays on spotify as of now, which makes for 25 songs in total. they will be colour-coded based on what album they were on, pre-antidotes songs are coloured as normal, songs from antidotes are coloured brown, songs from total life forever are blue, songs from holy fire are dark yellow, and songs from what went down are grey.
song list:
Hummer Mathletics Astronauts And All Balloons Cassius Red Socks Pugie Olympic Airways Two Steps, Twice Spanish Sahara This Orient Miami Blue Blood Total Life Forever Inhaler My Number Late Night Bad Habit Out Of The Woods Milk & Black Spiders What Went Down Mountain At My Gates Give It All Birch Tree Albatross London Thunder
this will be due on march 19th, although I can extend if necessary.

This RD is probably the only chance "Inhaler" has of making a RD top ten. I've been meaning to get into Foals more than I already have, so I'll wind up doing this eventually.

Sent! Decided to do this early, as I've already heard most of the list in the last few days and the next 2 weeks are gonna be stacked for me. This was a great list, I really hope Antidotes will do the best out of the albums here.

I'll still do this but I don't see why we don't do a Pulse Top 10 for this to actually explore their discography (And I can rank my favorite song)

Hate to say I agree but even after listening through their pre-TLF material many times, I still find the majority of it more annoying than anything. Luckily we have their three most recent albums on which I almost never skip a track.

I only know the songs we've ranked from previous rankdowns, so, I decided to skip this one. Good luck hosting and thanks for consider me! :)

so I've gotten another list since my last reminder, however by DistrictTwelve's request I will be extending the deadline for the final time, this time on march 31st. that's a good five days, arguably a bit much but I want to give people time if they want to do this last minute!

and with that, submissions are officially closed! I'll start revealing the bottom 5 in a bit, but while I'm inserting the last few lists and getting everything ready, here's a basic survey to fill out: what songs will be in the top five? (and what song will be #1?)likewise, what songs will be in the bottom five? (and what song will be #25?)what will have the highest standard deviation?what will have the lowest standard deviation?what "era" will do the best on this rankdown?what "era" will do the worst?

Oh yay finally.
what songs will be in the top five? (and what song will be #1?) Spanish Sahara, Inhaler, MAMG, My Number & What Went Down (MAMG for #1). likewise, what songs will be in the bottom five? (and what song will be #25?) No idea honestly, the songs I ranked at the bottom were just forgettable after a few listens. what will have the highest standard deviation? Cassius, My Number. what will have the lowest standard deviation? Top 5 & Bottom 5 lol. what "era" will do the best on this rankdown? Total Life Forever. what "era" will do the worst? Holy Fire? Other than the big 2 singles from that era I don't see it doing too well.
