Daryl's Indie Rankdown, Vol. 2 - A 2010s trip (complete!)

[Daryl the Beryl]

78 is also the first song for this year. This artist has only 1 song here, this one. Someone gets a perfect ranking for this one. 11th lowest SD!

[Daryl the Beryl]

This was bottom 10 throughout the game. And that perfect ranking is mine.

2nd highest ranking for #80, highest for #79, 5th highest for #78. WELP

[Daryl the Beryl]

77 is from this year that just had one of its songs revealed. Like that song, this artist has only 1 song here.

[Leaf]

Well that sucks lol. It was one of my favourite discoveries from 2016 AAA...

[Daryl the Beryl]

Not a good start for 2016. This was also bottom 10 throughout the game. Also, DOUBLE P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING! And Red joins me here, too!

[Daryl the Beryl]

76 takes us to another year we just saw. This was able to stay out of the bottom 10 for the most part. Here we also take care of two #80s.

[Leaf]

Overranked this a bit actually, but as low as #77 is mildly questionable.

[Daryl the Beryl]

2014 seems to not have a good start either.

[Daryl the Beryl]

75 marks both the first appearance for this year, and this artist. We lose our first top 10, and that's a top 3. But we do lose a #79 here as well.

[Daryl the Beryl]

I thought this was robbed. Love this one, especially how it builds up as the song progresses. disassociative and Leaf take a break here, scoring P-P-P-PERFECT RANKINGS here!

72 already clears this artist from this rankdown. This is one song I'm disappointed with it's performance, but what can I do about it. Three top 20s bow out, along with 4 bottom 10s.

[Red]

Three Mac songs going out in the first nine would be kind of hilarious. The only other option is "Retrograde".

[Daryl the Beryl]

It at least did better than it's lowest position on this rankdown.

71 marks the first out of two songs from this artist. We also saw this artist in my other indie rankdown. Here we say bye to three bottom 10s, and a top 20.

[Red]

Yeah, I knew going into the start of the reveals that a couple of my rankings might piss some people off. This was one of them. James Blake has just never done much for me. shrug

[Daryl the Beryl]

It wouldn't be an indie rankdown without the Fleet Foxes being robbed.

I've decided to do one more, because this one's gonna make a poster happy, as he loses his 79 here. Three other bottom 10s bow out here, along with a lone top 10.

[singingrulebritannia]

Two straight bottom 10s
It's a miracle

[Daryl the Beryl]

I love this song. But in this set of songs, competition is tough and hence it settles in my bottom 10.
