I saw this image online recently and naturally thought, I can do that but better. So I dedicated a significant portion of my afternoon yesterday doing it better. It started out as a shitpost/test of endurance, but then I got way into it and made this 46 long playlist capturing most of the Twilight forest scene in song titles. Then I thought "this could be a funny rankdown, but I wouldn't actually do it". But then I listened through the playlist and realized that this is ACTUALLY A GREAT LIST OF SONGS--there's some classics, some super cool discoveries I didn't expect, a wide array of genres, like, this is a solid rankdown list gimmick aside. Plus, I put way too much time into this bit not to share and have already ranked my own list and I've been wanting to host another personal rankdown. So I am. Send me your ranked list by 8/30! How Old Are You β Miko Mission 17 β Emily Blue How Long β Ace Have You Been β Lightzout Seventeen β Welles Awhile β Shook Twins I Know β Fiona Apple What You Are β Audioslave Sayit β Royksopp f/ Robyn Out Loud β Alejandro Aranda Say It β Maggie Rogers vampire β Olivia Rodrigo are you? β Zeph Afraid β Neko Case No β Fontaines D.C. Then β The Charlatans Ask Me β Duck Sauce The Most β Miley Cyrus Basic β N i G H T S Question β The Moody Blues What Do We Eat? β Laura Dyer You Wonβt Hurt Me β IAMLOSOL Where Are We Going? β Marvin Gaye Up the Mountain β Regina Spektor Out of the Clouds β Emily King BANK β BROCKHAMPTON You β Radiohead Need To β Korn See β Tycho WHAT I LOOK LIKE β Maxo Kream f/ Freddie Gibbs In the Sunlight β City Girl This Is Why β Paramore We β Mac Miller f/ CeeLo Green Donβt β Ed Sheeran Show β Neon Trees ourselves β Ayumi Hamasaki In the Sun β Joseph Arthur Light β Michael Kiwanuka People β Alex G Would Know β Mount Kimbie Weβre Different β Beber & Tamra This Is β Ella Mai What I Am β Edie Brickell & New Bohemians Itβs Like β Tomike Diamonds β The Boxer Rebellion Youβre Beautiful β James Blunt Playlist:Participants singingrulebritanniaaerodynamiteTrilogyAmerican Idiotnathanalbrightsamoπ¦wheatsquares33 (girl lost her list & has to do it from scratch :})

I see a bunch of interesting artists, one song that I added to my Liked Songs earlier this year, and a song I might rate 0.5 stars on RYM... Count me in!

This is a creative concept rankdown; I'm certainly intrigued.

i'll start working on this tomorrow now i'm almost done with 2015 RYM (unless this is getting extended? i'd love to have some more time for STM) Yeah I will for sure be extending this. I actually have 4 total lists now, thank you Trilogy and aerodynamite . Have kinda moved this to the backburner just because I've been focusing on 2006 AAA as the more important one, and I was thinking that my extension for this one would be determined by win I finish 2006. But yeah I'll extend this another week or two at the very least, so you'll have plenty of time. And I suppose I will make this a reminder post as well since I'm here. aerodynamite American Idiot BBπ HamedM1 π MoD maine PREDS PRIDE razorshark samoπ¦ willapted33 wrip YotamTS zippy decadevia nathanalbright

Ok zippy, here are some of the extras!! I have a lot--believe it or not, a lot of songs share the same song titles. There are many different ways I could have phrased the dialog in these scenes as well to allow for different titles to fit in--believe me, there were a lot of iterations of this list before I settled on the final one. So since there were so many ways this could have gone, I'll do some extras to show off how this rankdown could have been. Some of these are songs that just missed the final cut, some are ones I'm only finding out about now (I swear Spotify's search function has gotten...a lot better since I put this list together in July lol). We'll do these in parts, obviously. How Old Are You extras
How Old Are You? - Robin Gibb
There weren't many possibilities for this phrase or ways to split into smaller chunks (there maybe a How out there and Old can't be too hard to find, but "Are You"s are hard to come by, as we'll discuss later). I went with the Miko Mission song cause I thought it was kinda cool--at least, cooler than the only other option I could find. This is the title track of Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees' 2nd solo album. It's...not great.
Seventeen/17
Seventeen - Sharon Van Etten
It goes without saying that 17 is not a particularly uncommon song title. I went with the songs by Emily Blue & Welles since I know & like them and wanted to show them off here. But there are a lot of damn good options. We've ranked the Sharon Van Etten song in a year-end AAA list, so I passed on it here, I tried to balance between obscure & popular as much as I could.
Seventeen - Winger
One of the first songs called Seventeen that comes to mind but like. Even though some 80s glam metal would've added some variety to this list for sure, I don't think Winger is necessarily the best regarded band of the era (and I'm not too hot on this particular song myself).
Seventeen - Ladytron
This one kinda slipped through the cracks for me--I think it would've been a pretty good addition to this list, I could see myself swapping it in if I redid the list.
17 - Madison Beer
Sorry this one missed the list @hamedm1. I don't even think the song had been released when I put the list together lol. Is a pretty cool song though, I need to listen to her new album.
17 - The Greeting Committee
The Greeting Committee are a pretty good modern jangle act that I wish got more attention. Pretty good song from them, but not the most standout song called 17 (or even the second most)
Seventeen - Marina and the Diamonds
And finally...well, I'm sure a lot of you would have liked to see this one. And I kinda wished I had included it honestly, this is a good song, my brother loves The Family Jewels, again I didn't really go too deep looking for Seventeens (and I probably should have!)

You might be thinking--HOW LONG is it going to take before wheat posts more extras?? I'll go ahead and do some now. How Long extras How Long is a very common song title, probably unsurprisingly. I went with the Ace song because that's the one that came to mind first, and even looking over my list of extras, I don't regret making that pick, it's a classic. But here are some others I could have used! How Long - Blue Rodeo
I've learned since moving to Alberta that Blue Rodeo are a really staple Canadian act. Hear these guys on the radio all the time and they're one of my father-in-law's favorite bands. I've always liked their one US alt charter (Til I Am Myself Again), and this is decent early 90s jangle as well.
How Long - Lipps Inc.
I mean, before assembling this list, I don't think I could have named a non-Funkytown song by Lipps Inc. And believe it or not! This is a cover of the Ace song that actually made the rankdown! Had no idea this existed. Creative & pretty good cover, but I don't think you can beat the original.
How Long - Tove Lo
I'm sure this would've done pretty well here. And even as...a not particularly big Tove Lo fan, this is a pretty good track from her.
How Long? - Vampire Weekend
Here's a song from Vampire Weekend's 2019 album Father of the Bride. It's pretty nice.
How Long - Charles Bradley & the Menahan Street Band
If I didn't go with the Ace song (or the Lipps Inc. cover), this would have been my pick for this title. Really excellent deep soul song from Charles Bradley here.
Other potential "How Long"s--Charlie Puth (you all know this one), Eagles (just ranked in 2007 AAA where it kinda flopped), Dire Straits (from their 1989 album), Ellie Goulding (from her most recent album), and The Black Keys (also from their most recent album)

There is a song here that would be an obvious winner since it has already won other rankdowns and a song that should finish last (like it did in another ongoing rankdown) but I wouldn't be surprised if What Do We Eat? is revealed first either.

Reveals FOR REAL IT'S HAPPENING NOW. You probably didn't think I'd ever do this, but I'm doing it NOW. Honestly, not sure how much I'll end up doing tonight, but I have a lot of Drag Race to catch up on and need something to do on the side so going to try to wrap these up ASAP over the next couple days! singingrulebritannia aerodynamite Trilogy samoπ¦ American Idiot willapted33 wrip nathanalbright zippy46 Preview gates + aero 46 trilogy 45 american idiot 45 nathanalbright 46 samo 46 wheat 46 wrip 46 zippy 46 will 46

Unsurprising last place. I PROBABLY could've found another You're Beautiful for this spot, but, I think I mentioned somewhere else that Blunt being in 3 other rankdowns I participated in this year was fun and I wanted to keep the streak going.

Did my best to avoid BULLSHIT picking the song titles for this--unfortunately this was the ONLY thing I could find that would work for "what do we eat" (though I will share a more grammatically incorrect possibility I considered in the extras when I get that far). Anyway, yeah, it's a kid's song, low bar, but man the way this woman tells her kid to eat SOUP DUJOUR pisses me off, this is a bad kid's song. 45What Do We Eat? β Laura DyerPoints: 32 SD: 2.94 nathanalbright β 39 wrip β 39 samoπ¦ β 41 aerodynamite β 45willapted33 β 45zippy β 45American Idiot β 46 singingrulebritannia β 46 Trilogy β 46 wheatsquares33 β 46
