Definitely doing this. Great group of songs!

[Deleted]

this is where system can win

[morneaumispelled]

Ok, I love this list. Count me in.

[Daryl the Beryl]

My gosh why did I forget Tearing Me Up

[Red]

Oh boy, this ranking. I can tell you right now that The National won't be my #1 here. (Spoiler, I know, but JUST LOOK AT THIS LIST OF SONGS.)

[Deleted]

Props for including Nick Cave. Powerful album.

[Deleted]

but maaaaan should've included separator in 2011

[Daryl the Beryl]

HOW COULD I FORGET LOTUS FLOWER

At least Burn the Witch is there

(King of Limbs that said is my second least favorite Radiohead album on first listen, ahead of Pablo Honey)

[Lordef†ones]

VICE ROYYYY

You forgot it because Separator is better 

That said, this is gonna be a hard fucking list.

I can think of one song you can replace in 2015...

I'll be replacing a song with TMU, but it's not the one you're thinking of

Not going to add either TKoL song mentioned though, as Burn the Witch is already there

[Daryl the Beryl]

Apologies for the double tag, but I have replaced "Electric Love" with "Tearing Me Up". The rest of the list is unaffected. Please note the changes!

Yes yes Daryl this all looks wonderful.

Love that you included Beach House and HAIM.

I'm actually glad you left out "fingersnaps galore". It makes for a better list of songs. There are a lot of new songs here and I like listening to new music. I'll try to get a list done, in between my George Michael and that other 80's rankdown. New year. New tasks.

Too late I included it lol

[Beno]

Holy f**k this list is beautiful

TWO Bon Iver songs! I'm 100% participating in this

[The Bode Blend (Moose)]

Would have preferred "Electric Love" over "Tearing Me Up", but oh well. Still a very interesting mix of songs I love, songs I haven't heard before, and a few that I just don't get the fuss over.

[YotamTS]

Hoping I'd have time for this one, lots of great songs I already now are on the list!

[Deleted]

In my opinion the Tame Impala song should be Let It Happen because i think it had more buzz in the indie scene and got a lot of critical acclaim. I also may just be insanely biased towards Let It Happen.

[morneaumispelled]

If y'all bomb "Cardiac Arrest" I'm going on a Green Baron like rampage.

(I'm not really going to do that but I'll be upset for a hot minute)

Don’t worry it’ll probably be in my top 10.

Nooo...Electric Love would've made my Top 5. Will submit a ballot for this.

[Pale Shelter]

i am suffering from rankdown fatigue...so even though this whole list looks amazing, i am not sure if i will be doing this or not

but, most likely, i'll decide to participate right at the last minute

[Daryl the Beryl]

Slightly more than 4 weeks left! No submissions yet. (I haven't started my list yet tbh)

I had an ‘Aha’ moment with High Road by Broken Bells the other day. I was listening to it for this and I was like huh this sounds sort of familiar. Then the chorus hit and I was like SO THATS WHAT THIS SONG IS CALLED, IVE BEEN WONDERING FOR YEARS!!

[newpower]

Very nice selection... and you included one of my all time favorite!

[Daryl the Beryl]

It's still early, but we already have a submission!

Thanks to disassociative and his ranking...it's time for a(n early) B-B-B-B-BALLOT UPDATE!

More stats to consider:
- First, let's start with Pulse's favorite segment,

- As is the start of the game, we've got plenty of ties. SOUND THE ALARM! There is a tie at #8 and another one at #10. (3-way) Ties are also found at #15, #18, #20, #27 (5-way), #32, #38, #41 (3-way), #44, #46, #49, #51, #54, #56, #58, #60, #62 and #74.
- Twenty-two songs passed the 100 point mark.
- The top half of the list has every song having at least 83 points.
- The bottom three songs have 20 points or less.
- There is a lot of movement on the rankdown, as we see several songs move up or down at least 20 spots. (some even more than 30)

[singingrulebritannia]

Pretty good list, although I found quite a few bands I would have ranked higher with different songs from the same albums (I'll get into that more once reveals start, but 3CheersForNimrods already pointed out one).
