I'm not sure if I can pinpoint a favorite surf-style Beach Boys song. The best ones all top out at about the same level of enjoyment (does Good Vibrations count?) I don't like that fact, because I know it's cliche to like baroque Beach Boys way more--especially since I have plenty of surf rock faves.

In all honesty, yeah, Breathe Me's second half felt a bit stronger than the first.
But right now.. :( 60's music :(

I knew this was going to be a high standard deviation the moment I included it, but I really, REALLY wanted to find a spot for this song in a rankdown. This was as good of a spot as any. It's really cool that it spent the entire rankdown in the top five, too, given the diversity of the participants.
Congrats on clearing your bottom tens, .indulgecountry and Albie...and my condolences, @humanshazam, rowellfarm490, and peacebone.

This song just kept MOVING up the rankdown after it fell out of the top ten the lone time it fell out. The top four was the top four for a long time...and then this song changed that. I'd say that this is a more fitting spot for this song, eh, gates?
Congrats on clearing your bottom tens, alexcuse and Doc Indie Party Rock...and my condolences, Daryl the Beryl, willapted33, and Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast.

This was the redemption tour I was waiting for. After this artist had, I believe, the highest standard deviation in Journey history the lone time we saw her in a Journey previously, it's so nice to see this song go the OTHER direction. I struggled hard with not ranking this #1, by the way. I went with "I Get Around" because it does something that no other song in this rankdown can say...but good lord, this song is so good.
Congrats on finally clearing your bottom ten, Az Paynter...and my condolences, Sambalada, wheatsquares33, and alexcuse.

This was the song that, I imagine, most people expected to see win this, and in dominant fashion. Here's the thing: Not only did it not spend the lion's share of time at #1 in this rankdown, there was a point where I thought this may not even be all that close at the end. While the gap is still somewhat sizable, it could have been even more. Still, this song was every bit the contender that everyone thought it would be...if not the final #1.
Congrats on finally clearing your bottom ten, Daryl the Beryl (also, what)...and my condolences, singingrulebritannia.
The wild thing about this result isn't that this particular artist won, nor is is that Madonna didn't win, not is it how this song has now won multiple rankdowns, nor is it how this spent, by far, the most amount of time at #1. It's not even how this song won the biggest rankdown in Journey history without a single #1 to show for it. No, the craziest thing about "Come Undone" winning is that every single one of its fifteen top tens are top fours. That'll do it.
Sorry, Leaf.

And that is THAT. Once again, I'd like to thank everyone who helped to make this the biggest turnout we've ever seen for a Journey rankdown. I do all of these rankdowns for you guys more than anything else, and to see the turnout grow, especially over the last couple of days of submissions, was truly something to behold.
So, what's next? Well, I could get Crazy 3 off of the ground officially, but I think I'm going to let that one simmer for a little bit longer. Alt 2019 is just around the corner, so I can't wait too long to get a move on, either. I've been looking at one rankdown, in particular, that has been long overdue...but I think that I'll wait until the new year to finish that project once and for all. Instead, I think that the natural progression is to go with what followed the first Pop rankdown. And this is going to be a surprise to everyone, because no one knew this was coming until this very moment...
Well, except for one poster, but he needed to know about the songs in this rankdown in advance to make sure that none of our songs overlapped...RED'S JOURNEY: EXTENDED The 1980's...2

10. The 1975 - It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)Great song. Seems like the newest on the list. Big hit I charted it too, but left it out of top 15 cuz I'm saving that slot for better 1975 songs. However I agree sounding like the 80's and looking pretty works for me too. 9. ABBA - Knowing Me, Knowing You"Dancing Queen" this is not, but it's nice. Sounds like a song that might even chart on AAA today? 8. Jennifer Paige - CrushI never thought I would see this song show up on an RD. Much less one of Red journey's. It isn't bad. I gave it modest chart action myself. 7. Sia - Breathe MeFirst time listen. yes, I repeat first time listen... that took me to new levels of boredom. This has to be a newer pop song? 6. The Beach Boys - I Get AroundPerfect beach music. next to The Go-Go's of course. 5. Kate Bush - CloudbustingThis didn't do much for me. It was more exiting to see Donald Sutherland in the music video. 4. Amy Winehouse - Back to BlackThis didn't exactly suck. It just couldn't compete with the songs I already knew and loved. 3. Grimes - Flesh without Bloodthis was actually good. Bad luck it was on this list, but this is the kind of pop I go for for. I could have been more versatile in the melody. 2. Madonna - Get Into The Groove80's vocal Madonna was her best era. 1. Duran Duran - Come UndoneFU C K yeah! take that! The 80's rule above all. "Come Undone" is technically 90's but Duran Duran are from the 80's ...so yeah 80's win.

The only solace I can take is that I was the person who knew about 80s pt.2 ahead of time

Every time I see that picture I swear it looks like Paul Merton (British comedian). Then I remind myself what Paul looks like and the similarity fades lol.
