Plush is truly an amazing song, and the fact that I put it at just #3 showcases how strong this list was. Rooting for Regret now because that would be the most shocking #1 in a long time lol

this race was tight. Dreams had it for a while, only to slowly lose hold and let Regret take over. my condolences, Butterflies & Hurricanes , commerce196 , and rowellfarm490 . however, congratulations to-- wait, what's that
NO ONE PUT THE WINNER AT #1?
throwback to active 2016, because ladies and gentlemen, we got a Joyride on our hands

and thus brings an end to the Alternative 1993 rankdown! thank you so much to everyone who participated, it was a lot of fun watching the results change in real time and watching everyone get mad at reveals. this took a lot out of me, so I'm happy to be going on vacation tomorrow to the beach! special thanks to the posters who kept the thread active with commentary and witty banter, you're the reason rankdowns are still alive
while I don't think I'll host another retro rankdown (at least for a while), I enjoyed it a lot. also, be sure to participate in the Alt 1992 rankdown, hosted by a veteran, peacebone !
also I have a personal rankdown open if you would like to send but don't feel pressured
anyways, hope all of you have a wonderful weekend, I'm gonna go pack and fall the fuck asleep

Like, I should be "upset", because my lowest of the top six (and the only one not in my top ten) won...but this is insanity. I thought "Regret" would make the top ten. I did not think that it would win. This might be the most wild winner we've had in a while, especially given the competition that it faced.
I know that you were having a rough time at points, @shazam, but you did great, as you always do. Hosting 100 song rankdowns is never easy, especially by yourself, but you were engaging and entertaining throughout. Never doubt yourself, man. You're the MVP right now.

Woohoo! The best of the last two remaining songs won. So funny number one wasn't ranked at 1 by anyone.

10. Björk - Human BehaviourHuman behaviour? seems more like Extra Terrestrial behaviour. Idk but this chick always made feel uneasy like Billie Eilish does. Both creep me out, but not in a good Radiohead way. 9. Radiohead - CreepWOW! just WOW! I thought this one would win?. I really put this one high as I could too. Any rank below 30 really seems uncalled for. ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) So has Daryl the Beryl put Radiohead more times at #1 or Have I Put STP more times at #1. There's a question for you. 8. Depeche Mode - Walking in My ShoesMy "Don't hate on the 80's icons" quote has come back and bit me in the ass. ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) idk know what shoes they were walking in, but they sure a s hell were not Vans. Sorry guys. let's just get to "Violator" era. 7. The Breeders - CannonballI thought I would have put this one higher, but it barely squeezed in my top 40. I rally like it tho. 6. The Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub RockSee I'm not the only one who can praise one song and then tank another from the same band. Plus Butterflies & Hurricanes really digs Smashing Pumpkins. He tanked the song not the band. 5. The Cranberries - LingerNice to see this one top 5. I'm glad "Dreams" is even higher. 4 . Nirvana - Heart-Shaped BoxReally great song by Nirvana. There I said it, and I didn't turn into a frog. ![:giggle:](//storage.proboards.com/1258812/images/KYziZwTotWGtjvzyvGqr.gif) This is still not my favorite party rock Nirvana song tho. 3. Stone Temple Pilots - PlushTop 3. What more can I ask for? Maybe a written apology from wheatsquares33 . ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png) If we had ranked "Wicked Garden" and "Sex Type Thing" my top 3 would have been the following. #3. "Sex Type Thing". #2. "Plush". #1. "Wicked Garden". True Story. 2. The Cranberries - DreamsGreat song. This is some wonderful aesthetic melodies. 1. New Order - RegretNot one #1 rank and the songs wins. I still don't get how that works out, but none the less an amazing song. I hope to see this when "Love Bizzare Triangle" shows up. So is this the first time PULSE RD has same #1 as actual YE RD?
@humanshazam Great job and amazing year of songs to rank.

With "Dreams" being one of my favorite songs ever, it would've been awesome if it could've won. Having a surprise winner like "Regret" though is always cool too. It was lots of fun having you back to host another of these @humanshazam !

Yay Regret won. Dreams it's not bad, but I don't like Delores' voice on here. I decided to be a little nicer to this ranking last minute but i'm glad it didn't win.

First time I don't have any perfectos, yet I'm 2nd in RD closeness. Is that the highest rankdown closeness placing for a poster with no perfect rankings?

Also pleased to see big drops for Walking in My Shoes and I Feel You, overplayed live staples that to swap out for more of their older classics.
Depeche Mode Walking in My Shoes alexcuse : 15 Yup that's how much I like the rest of their discography (as well as not care too much for 1993 songs) neither song would make my top 30 Depeche mode songs.

Thanks for hosting, @humanshazam. Those debut entries were well done and you did a good job hosting.
