Hey, guys, did you know that Steve Harrington makes music? And that he has had multiple music projects?

Quiet a few songs live or die based on the strength of their pre-chorus and chorus. This song's pre-chorus and chorus lives in a way that few songs have ever lived.

It's possible that this may not be the only time we see Aquarium in a RD. At least I can hope, anyway. (hint hint, gates)
The impression this whirlwind of a song left on me the first time I listened to it was one of wonder and of awe. The best compliment I can give it is that, out of the hundreds of thousands of songs that I've listened to in my lifetime, I can't think of another song quite like it.

Something you may have noticed: I'm kind of a pretty big fan of instrumental songs, especially when they have something that makes them stand out. In this song's case, it's the frenetic energy and the insane drumming of the incomparable Nate Smith.

A very good psych rock that becomes a great one through the shredding of Ty Segall. What a beast of a guitarist.

I did not have a clear pattern to follow on how to rank these songs in this rankdown aside from having some particular favorites and other songs that felt like they weren't enjoyable enough to escape my bottom ranks.
I would not have guessed that OTONABLUE and Straight Jacket Fitting would be revealed so early, the latter was the last song I decided where to rank.
Scribbles is one of the songs that was submitted twice for Summertime Madness but the song could not appear in the seeds in any randomized order.
Dragon is a metal song I would come back to, but of course without some particular users there's not enough support for metal.
I expected Dirtpicker to be underrated. I think the psychedelic sound and melodies are spot on.
Капитан Африка would have made my top 10 if it didn't sound grating at times.
I already discovered The Fearless Flyers thanks to Spotify's Instrumental Funk playlist. It's not the kind of music I would expect to see on Pulse or make it far in a rankdown.

Here's a change of pace from "Cool in Motion" from the Selection RD. While I don't like it as much as I do "Cool in Motion", the slow burn pace also works wonders for Narrow Head.

I made jokes about Joe Keery's music career last set, but I genuinely didn't know that Vinesauce was in a band until discovering this song. What the actual crap?

If all you know from Dick Dale is "Misirlou", you are really missing out. Around this time in his career, Dale just started going off. There's this live performance of "Misirlou" as one example, and there's also this.

Nitro is the instrumental in this rankdown that I had initially planned to rank near the middle but I kept on moving the song down when revising my ranks.

Visage were not a one song group. Shocking, I know, Midge Ure and Steve Strange were capable of more than one great song. I wouldn't put this up there with "Fade to Grey", but it's definitely worth checking out (as is The Anvil).

I initially kept coming back to this for the beat, but then I kept coming back to it over and over again, well after the beat should have lost that kind of power. As it turns out, this two minute seemingly "nothing" song is one of the most important songs I've listened to in the last year. This isn't just a ray of light, it's a beaming light of positivity.
But yeah, that groove is still pretty dope, too.

If you're going to do Springsteen worship, then you better not half-ass it. Sam Fender looked at all of the other worshippers and said, "Yeah, that all sounds good, but watch this."
Sorry, samo🦕.
