It can't hurt to try now, can it? By now you should be aware I'm a big fan and supporter of the talented yet underappreciated Aussie singer-songwriter Michael Paynter (I mean, the way I keep trying to flog his music through Pulse games should be hint enough lmao) and my efforts haven't been entirely in vain; top 10 in the ARIA Assortment and 21st Century Christmas rankdowns (hosted by myself and Cynthia respectively, the latter part of her 12 Rankdowns Of Xmas series) and almost top 10 in Wintertime Madness (this one was a big deal since Madness tends to be one of the best Pulse games for widespread participation). Oh, and he's also in Randomly Specific, but his placement in that rankdown hasn't been revealed yet.
I've set this rankdown at 25 songs; broad enough to offer up a decent chunk of his discography while not being too overwhelming, since this game would be just as much a crash course as it is a rankdown. The songs come from his two released studio albums, plus selections from his unreleased album and his two EDM features. Most of these are available on Spotify - and because Michael is an independent artist there shouldn't be any geo-restrictions - but I will also be providing alternate YouTube links for every song (particularly the unreleased tracks)
