RED'S JOURNEY - EXTENDED The Year-End Years Part One: 2005-2009 Back when I was posting on another forum that shall remain nameless, one of my favorite things to do every year was to make lists of my favorite things in any given year. For over a decade, every year, I would sit down and think about the songs, albums, and other stuff that were my favorites of that year. A lot of songs from those many year-end threads have already been featured in the Journey series, but there's still plenty that have yet to get featured. That's where "The Year-End Years" comes into play. Every song that has been included in both parts of this rankdown was featured in my year-end threads, either as a song that made my Top Singles lists or as a song that I highlighted when talking about albums. Most of my rankdowns are pretty personal, but this one is more personal than most.
As always, here's a couple of notes...
- You will send your rankings (1-40, 1 for your favorite song, 40 for your least favorite) to me via PM. I think that I'm going to offer up a one month deadline, both as a means of giving people plenty of time to submit and as a means of me to juggle both Rock Madness and this. This deadline will fall in between the likely deadlines for both Seed 3 and Seed 2 there. The current deadline is Saturday, February 22nd at 8pm US Eastern. I don't expect the deadline day to change (again), but I am willing to be more flexible here than in some previous Journey RDs.
- Spotify playlist only. Sorry again, Doc.
- I'm going back to not doing initial tag lists. The main reason for that is because, when I did the tag list for the second 80's RD, it specifically included everyone who submitted for the first 80's RD. Being a completely different rankdown, I don't know if I should tag the same people or not. Instead, as was the case previously, when I do tag people for the first time, it'll be a mix of those who have submitted for many previous Journeys, people who have submitted once or twice, and new Journey participants who I think could be interested in submitting.
- One important rule that I'm going to start enforcing a little more as I keep hosting rankdowns: PLEASE enter the songs as they are typed out below when compiling your rankings. For most of you, this won't be an issue, but still.
Here's the 40 songs that make me feel nostalgic for a period of time when I wasn't a tube vent!
Julian Casablancas - 11th Dimension The Fireman - Nothing Too Much Just Out of Sight Nine Inch Nails - Getting Smaller Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium The Nightwatchman - One Man Revolution Beck - Missing Julien-K - Kick the Bass Rilo Kiley - Silver Lining Bigelf - Money, It's Pure Evil Johnny Cash - Like the 309 Dredg - Saviour Evanescence - Lacrymosa The Gaslight Anthem - Meet Me By the River's Edge Linkin Park - No More Sorrow Electric Six - Rock & Roll Evacuation The Killer and the Star - Starts When You Fall Paramore - When It Rains Deadsy - Better Than You Know Portishead - The Rip Candiria - Down Ladytron - Predict the Day Gnarls Barkley - Smiley Faces Moby - Lift Me Up 311 - Golden Sunlight The Killers ft. Lou Reed - Tranquilize Orianthi ft. Steve Vai - Highly Strung Bruce Springsteen - Livin' in the Future The Bravery - Fearless AFI - The Interview Scars on Broadway - Universe TV on the Radio - Dirtywhirl The Dead Weather - Treat Me Like Your Mother Gorillaz - El Manana The Mars Volta - Aberinkula Serj Tankian - Saving Us Thom Yorke - Black Swan Kings of Leon - Closer Queens of the Stone Age - Medication Home Video - I Can Make You Feel It Justice - D.A.N.C.E.
One song ("Better Than You Know") isn't on Spotify, but you can hear it below:

Well, thanks for reminding me to do a tag post (either with submissions or posts), everyone.
(This tag list is going to be particularly odd, because I genuinely don't know who to tag for this. If you don't want to be tagged, that's fine. If you DO want to be tagged and aren't, please do make sure to let me know!)
ONE MONTH UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

Still haven't forgotten about this, but I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going to need to extend this. I hope I don't have to and we'll get a big rush at the end. We'll see.

I've started working on this! There were just a couple others that ended sooner so I paused it, will finish after I finish the underground 80s list

I'm going to go on ahead and extend the deadline by a week, mostly because I feel like this RD is getting lost in the shuffle of my other projects, and I don't want it to get to that point, so...extension.

Did not forget to tag everyone today. I also didn't receive a submission since the last tag post, so maybe I should have.
THREE DAYS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

Ideally, I would not like to extend the deadline beyond the 22nd, given my commitments elsewhere (Rock Madness and the 2001 Hot 100 RD, mainly), so let's get this over and done with!
TWO DAYS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

So here's the deal: I don't think I can come up with another set deadline for this RD. Both of the rankdowns I mentioned before have deadlines coming up within the next week. I may have to make this more of an open deadline. It also won't be a Crazy RD kind of an open deadline. I will be doing regular tags to get people to submit, because I want to get this done.
Hell, we can do it right now. Just remember, this isn't going to be like the Crazy RDs. Even though this will now have an "open deadline", I still want to get this finished within a couple of weeks, at most.
WE ARE NOW IN A OPEN DEADLINE.

I'm thinking that the earliest I will start reveals is early March (and I mean *early*, within the first couple of days of the month). But I would really like to reveal then.
THE OPEN DEADLINE CONTINUES.

Okay, now that other commitments are out of the way (for now), let's re-focus on this. I want to get reveals started within the next week, but I'm going to keep this as an open deadline for now, just in case.

We're pretty close to ten submissions not including mine, though, and that's usually my threshold for starting reveals in situations like these. Let's get this over the hump!

I know that I have a couple of rankdowns that are revealing soon, but I'm going to need to put a final deadline on this RD soon, just so we can keep things moving.

Alright, time's up. It's time to set a final deadline for this bad boy. The final deadline for this rankdown is April 14th. So, that means we have...
TWO WEEKS (and one day) UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

Well, this attempt at a "final" deadline was a freaking disaster. Let's try this again.
TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE DEADLINE...again
