i know Somebody Else isn't as good as the rest of my top 10s but that was the one 1975 song i always really connected with & is probably still my favourite

“Machine Gun” has one of the most unique and distinct beats I’ve ever heard.

Crazy that REM recorded two singles specifically about Andy Kaufman and they managed to do it better the second time

There's a very good chance that the All-Timers trilogy is going to become a tetralogy, and, in that fourth All-Timers, we're going to encounter the only jazz song that I'd say is on this piece's level.
This isn't just an "All-Timer". This is an "ALL-TIMER", all capital letters. This piece just throws everything it can at a wall, and it's all immaculate. One of the most incredible recordings the world of music has ever seen.

This isn’t just a song, it’s a whole performance! This was not an easy one to rank either.
As for what 60s jazz I enjoy best, John Coltrane’s “My Favorite Things” would without a doubt be included in my all-timers list.

I've really grown to love Machine Gun since I sent my list, I think I underranked it a bit. Awesome song, need to check out Portishead's discography.

“Mezzanine” doesn’t quite knock my socks off like “Risingson” (the runner-up in aero’s recent rankdown) but I thought it would make the top 10.
There’s plenty of greatness in this top 10 and I’m sure some users here can tell what my #31 is.

Jesus Christ I lost my top 3 and #6 at the first 4 reveals
idles are severely underrated and I’m at least glad they made top half here. Starless and Avalanche deserved a place at the top 10 for sure And I’m always skeptic about Sigur Ros’ music and this is the first time I listened to them since like gates’ 2010s Rankdown years ago and I was kinda blown away. I should check out the rest of that album tbh.
This top 10 as a whole is… meh. Not sure what J-Pop and Door are doing there.
Elton or Kate for the win

Hey, I'm sure that all of you know how my top ten previews tend to work in rankdowns that I host, right? It's simple: Three stats about the song being revealed and a factoid that may or may not only interest me. Let's get right to it.
#10 PREVIEW
Stats Top Tens: 7 Movements Spent in Top Ten: 2 Top Half Rankings: 10
This song is just a single point ahead of #11.

When this fell out of the top ten, I remember my first thought being, "This is now officially the worst I've ever done in one of my own rankdowns." Thanks for making sure it didn't quite stay that way, Will and rep.
A true behemoth of a song. To this day, I don't think black midi have topped this, though they have certainly tried.
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, samo🦕.

This song was struggling to enter the top half...and then it was just there and stayed there.
