wow, wasn't expecting Abel out so soon. I love it because of how much it breaks the stereotype of what their music sounds like. When I first listened to this it completely blew me away, and the intensity remains when I listen to it now.

#4 Beno #12 Troy #17 Green Baron #18 peacebone #29 Daryl the Beryl #29 @humanshazam #34 Red #35 Juanca #35 Web Daryl's thoughts on the song and/or song placing: I loved this a few years back and I still do now. The bridge is especially great, with Berninger's exasperated vocal delivery (though that could be said for the rest of the song too), particularly when he utters the f-word. I probably underranked this, too.

Wow, I am stunned. I've been making jokes about how poorly I've been doing in this rankdown, but the time for joking is over.
"Carin" is one thing, it's a recent song (even though four SWB songs beat it) and I can see the "inferior 'Pink Rabbits'" argument...but "The Geese of Beverly Road" and "Sorrow" are two of their best songs, and the fact that some of you ranked them bottom ten is INSANE to me.
I may really only get two songs from my top ten in the overall top ten...damn.
1 | 4 | 5 | 7 | 8 | 9 11 | 12 | 14 | 20 | 21 | 22 27 | 28 | 30 | 32 | 33 | 36 | 39 49
My 49 should not be here, I'll just flat out say it right now. It's okay, but one of the twenty (or so) best National songs, it isn't.

Yeah, I absolutely cannot believe that "Sorrow" went out before the top 10, much less the top 20. The first National song I ever heard and a strong contender for #1, I certainly consider it a formidable song of my childhood after my dad's obsession with it rubbed off on me six years ago. Along with "Transatlanticism" by Death Cab for Cutie and "Pictures of You" by The Cure, "Sorrow" is definitely one of the defining songs of that summer in my life when I moved to the suburbs because he would play those songs all the time and I thought they were magical.
My #1 may not even make it to top 10.

Quite an exciting update. I liked all these songs. With the way some of these songs are going out, I'm a little scared about my number one now lol

Don't get me wrong, again, a great song, but it should've been a bit lower. I underranked some of the SWB songs, but this is one I think I overranked compared to say, "Gym" or "Destroy". Also, drumming is great again.

might want to fix that song title Daryl the Beryl(you know, I'm shocked at how far "About Today" has come, considering that it comes off an EP and I don't think it was released as a single)
