Pulse Rankdown: 2013 Year End Alternative Chart

[Leo ✔]

Ok.....

[zaclord 🌈]

I love "Wake Me Up". No freakin clue why Alternative played it though (same goes to Macklemore), so I'm not sad that it's out really.

[Lorde's Hammer]

"Hey Brother" was so much better though I'm sure it wouldn't have fared well here either.

[Leaf]

I wanted to put this at #99 but I was reminded of the existence of Down the Road. Glad this didn't do nearly as well as it did in the 2013 YE rankdown.

I guess I'm glad Breezeblocks placed higher than Fitzpleasure? I ranked them back-to-back so it was cool as long as they got out sooner than later 

re: FOB, oh well, not surprised to see it go. I kind of wanted to make room for songs I didn't know instead of reserving all my top spots for the ones I knew but I didn't want to bring this one down.

[Daryl the Beryl]

Say what you want about Light Em Up (even though I don't like it that much as evidenced by my ranking), it is at least a masterpiece compared to this trash.

[Leo ✔]

Young and Menace is trash.

But I love all the whole "Save Rock and Roll"
I wish their song with Foxes was released as a single. Just One Yesterday would be my #1

[.indulgecountry]

I'll never understand the FOB hate and I'm not even much of a fan of them myself, lol. /shrug

Their older material is not too bad. They'll likely fare better. I just don't really care for reformed FOB material. (save "Alone Together", "Phoenix", "Immortals", etc.)

Also, out of curiosity, have you heard "Young and Menace" yet?

[aerodynamite]

"Alone Together" and "Immortals" are my favorites of their newer stuff. :)

Daryl the Beryl Could you tag me in the results? I'm interested to see where a lot of these songs land

Sure

[Lorde's Hammer]

YA BOI IS LIT ABOUT FALL OUT BOY IN BOTTOM 20

Especially considering how far it got in the other 2013 rankdown

[Red]

Ayyyy, there goes "Breezeblocks" and FOB. I think that's one left out of my bottom five?

On the other side of things, kind of figured "Same Love" would go out early, but before "Thrift Shop"...man.

And the performance of "This Ladder Is Ours" concerns me. Why? Because we have a much better Joy Formidable song coming in a couple of years...and I hope its performance isn't similar. :(

[Lorde's Hammer]

Same Love certainly doesn't belong on Alt but it's a great song. Hoping I don't see Thrift Shop soon but I'm sure it'll land around where Habits did.

If you're talking about "Whirring", that song is probably a lock for my top ten

[.indulgecountry]

Woooooooow @ "Same Love" being out already. Y'all are heathens. >:(

And no Daryl the Beryl I haven't heard that song yet.

[Leaf]

One Macklemore song down, one to go!

Not to spoil anything, but depending on the songs included, "Whirring" might be a lock for my top one.

[dm2081]

"Wake Me Up" was really hard to rank. It's not Alt at all, I'm still burnt out on it and really wouldn't care if I never hear it again, but I did like it when it came out. It's a decent song.

Fall Out Boy... you all know how I feel about them. Glad to see they're gone.

Go listen to it. Because it's worse than anything I've heard from them.

[aerodynamite]

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!

Y'all got this waaay wrong.

[maine]

"Same Love" is beautiful. Heartless wenches.

[Daryl the Beryl]

Re FF: I love some of their songs, but they don't get free passes from me. Case in point, this song. I probably ranked it a bit too low but still...

[Deleted]

Wake Me up is really good. I still love it although it's old. Same with FOB.
