Since peacebone 's Dream Pop list will be including a different song from Souvlaki ("Souvlaki Space Station"), I decided to remove this one and choose a highlight from Just for a Day instead. EXTRA

Here's another fantastic selection from Spiderbait's catalog. I strayed away from it because it might have come off as too poppy for this rankdown. You may remember the song from the video game Little Big Planet, actually. EXTRA

50. Pig - Sparklehorse There is one song by this band I used to like. I can't remember which one right now. This one was alright. I'm not really a fan of distorted vocal effects.
49. Lovenest - The Wedding Present This sounded very amateur. It actually sounded like a song a guy would try out on his lady before the actual public. Might like it more with different vocals.
48. Sideshow by the Seashore - Luna This has AAA written all over it. Not bad, reminded me a bit of Marcy Playgound style. Marcy Playground was so underrated.
47. Sonic Bloom - Tripping Daisy The only song ,by this band, I remember is ,"I Got A Girl". This one was good. I Got ,Nada Surf, vibes. In Particular the song "Always Love" one of my favs. I might have given this one top 15 action.
46. Oh Messy Life - Cap'n Jazz I like the guitar arrangements in this song. The rest was o.k. The vocals were a bit too much for me. For a second ;I thought I read Cap'n Swing, which was Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr's first band in the 70's
45. Snow Drums - Piano Magic This one was different. The buildup and addition of different instruments as the song progressed was pretty cool. For some reason; this song made me wanna go back ,and listen to Nada Surf "Popular"
44. Livräddaren/Lifesavers - Kent I happen to be one of those listeners that really gets tu(r)ned on by foreign vocal works. Male,female. Bring it on. This song was a great first listen.
43. Audiowhore - Archers of Loaf Some of this band names. Just wow. Good melody, but I'll pass on this guy's vocals.
42. Caught by the Fuzz - Supergrass Don't think I have ever heard a song bu Supergrass that I didn't like. This kind of Garage rock really tunes me in.
41. Over the Electric Grapevine - Primus I'm not a Primus fan. Their instruments sound outta tune. I might have been a another bottom ten tanker for this? :kii:

Extras:
When the Sun Hits - Slowdive This is the "Star Roving" band right? I didn't know they were Dreampop, but I dig their songs. This one was pretty good too.
Glockenpop - Spiderbait Don't think I ever heard this song, but this really hooked my ass in good. My favorite song in this whole rankdown so far.
The Nerve Tattoo - Motorpsycho This one was really great. I can actually hear those violins.
Stop It You're Killing Me - Therapy? This one really had some NRG to it. Overall a great Alternative package.
Words - Low Man was that slow. I like some Slow vibe Alt, like "Creap" or "Sex and Candy", but this was Tooooo mellow.

This is getting pretty crazy now. I'm really surprised that I haven't had more higher losses by this point.
-"When the Sun Hits"- This one wasn't quite as good as "Catch the Breeze" but it still would've been in my top 20. -"Glockenpop"- I liked this much more than "Hot Water & Milk". Good enough for a top 30 ranking. -"The Nerve Tattoo"- I really enjoyed this one and most likely would have ranked it in my top 20. -"Stop It You're Killing Me"- This song was quite good too. Probably would've put it mid-30s. -"Words"- I liked this less than the rest of this set's extras. My ranking for it would have been in the mid-40s.

Hold onto your glutes, because within the hour, it'll be time to unveil #40-31, the rest of the sad songs that missed the top half. What to expect: - Rejoice, #60 hold-outs! Neither of your last places are making the top 30. - The top 10 reckoning isn't at hand yet; once again, it's 4 top 10s we will remove in this set, though this time, 2 of them are top 5s. - We will see the 4th, 9th, and 10th highest standard deviations, as well as the 8th lowest.

#40 is the 8th lowest SD. None of its 4 top 30 ranks are top 20s, and there is just one bottom 5. This song fell as low as 44, but the 30s were its home for the most part.

#39 went as high as 28 and as low as 43, generally sticking to the 30s. It has 5 top 30s, though none higher than a top 20. It's weighed down by 4 bottom 15s, including a bottom 10.

Up and down start early, to my lack of surprise. Two of my three remaining bottom tens are my 59 and 60. I'm almost rooting for those to be my last two bottom tens.

Someone finally drops off their 60 at #38. Similarly to 39, top half was at points attainable, but so was a resting place in the 40s. In addition to that 60, there's one more bottom 10 and 3 more bottom 20s. On the other end, 3 of this song's 4 top halves are top 20s.

A top 5 high SD shows up at #37--4th highest, that is. A top 5 and 2 top 15s make up the positive end of the polarization. And on the negative side, 4 bottom 10s, one a bottom 5. Around the mid-point, this looked headed for a top half finish after a bad start.

But wait, there's more! #36 is the 10th highest SD. Aside from a few times where the top 40 floor under this song fell out, it was always on the border of being top half. The high SD is driven by a top 5 and a top 10, one coming from a person you might not expect it of. There's only one other top half rank, though (in the strict sense; one rank might as well be top half). Half of us ranked this bottom 20, including a bottom 10 and a bottom 5.

Half of us would rather see #35 in the top 30, but none of its boosts were strong enough (just two top 20s) to offset the song's three bottom 10 rankings. This song was never actually much of a contender for top 30, boxed within 35-45 most of the way.

#34 was another result that, I suppose, just made me go, "hmmm". It was only able to attain 4 top half ranks, though all of them were top 25. Not much in the way of tanks, either; just one bottom 10. This started in the top half, then things took a turn for the worse, and the last ballot saved it from bottom 20.
