Pulse Rankdown: 1992 Year-End Alternative Chart (finished)

[wheatsquares33]

This sounds like a cat food commercial

[peacebone]

Let's keep the low SDs going with #98, the 4th lowest SD.

There's only one top half rank (and it's not a top 25). Only eight bottom 10s here...but every one of them is a bottom 5. However, only one of them is a #100. This song never left the bottom 10.

[peacebone]

I like the first three PIL albums quite a bit. And "Rise".

This, on the other hand...

Let's break away from low SDs for #97.

Three top half rankers. One was barely even a top half rank. The second was only a top 40. But the third brings us something we haven't seen yet: a top 10 loss!

All but two of this song's 18 bottom 25s were bottom 10s. Eight of those were bottom 5s...but none were #100s.

[peacebone]

The B-52's in 1979 - maybe the funnest new wave around at the time.

The B-52's in 1992 - just a bunch of washed-up geezers sounding like they're forcing themselves to have fun.

[lyhom]

what does "T-I-Is" even mean

[peacebone]

#96 brings something else we haven't seen - a high SD! This song has the 10th highest SD, actually. Five people went for a top half ranking here, one in each segment of ten. It was met with fierce opposition, however - 15 bottom 10s, all but two of which are bottom 5. And five are #100s, tying with "Fabulous" for the most of any song in this rankdown.

[Daryl the Beryl]

Get the other B-52s song outta here

B-52s can suck it (this year at least)

[peacebone]

Two people who have been doing very well so far will have their luck change at #95, which has the ninth lowest SD. They are this song's only top half rankers, with one of those barely being a top 25. Nine bottom 10s, on the other hand. Only three are bottom 5s, and two of those are from people who have faced suffering so far.

[wheatsquares33]

BOM BOM

[peacebone]

So...it's time for me to face the wall of shame.

I legitimately couldn't believe my eyes when tank after tank kept coming in for this song. Is my liking of downtempo music deafening me from hearing whatever this song's major flaw is, or what?

[wheatsquares33]

I like Visions of You. Very cool bad bass line

[peacebone]

#94 presents a multiple-song artist. All three of its top half ranks are top 40s, and one is a low top 25. There's nine bottom 10s here, just like #95...but there's one less bottom 5 here.

[Deleted]

B-52s sounded like a parody of themselves on this rankdown. Honestly those BOM BOMs at the start of "Good Stuff" are some of the most forced, cringe-worthy things I've ever heard

[peacebone]

This was released as the lone single from a "live" album...except this sounds like a studio recording. And a completely half-assed song, in itself.

There were four songs that never escaped the bottom 10. Three of those were the bottom three, and the last of them is being revealed at #93. Of its four top half rankers, three are top 40, but none are top 30. On the other hand, of its ten bottom 10s, half are bottom 5.

[Deleted]

The kind of stupid, flavourless "groovy" song that would be played by lame washed out live bands at lac leamy

[peacebone]

I didn't hate this song or anything, but it just...existed.

The only other Material Issue song I've heard is their big hit - "Valerie Loves Me" (which is in 1991) - and I do like that one a bit, hopefully it isn't bottom 10 at least.

#92 kicks off another spate of low SDs, this being the 3rd lowest. It's by an artist we've ranked before. Its lone top half ranker is merely a top 40, although a few came close to placing it top half as well. Only six people went for a bottom ten here, and half are bottom 5s.

[peacebone]

He's new to rock chart rankdowns, but we've seen multiple times in personal rankdowns (both solo and as a member of The Velvet Underground).

I don't mind Lou Reed at all, but this song was kinda lame.

Also what the hell was going on with that video

[peacebone]

The bottom 10 concludes with a song by an artist that we've never ranked before. It holds the 7th lowest SD. Both of its top 50s are very low top 50s. While it has eight bottom 10s, only two are bottom 5 (and they're high bottom 5s).

[peacebone]

Aw come on, I liked this song. It's not great or anything, and I can kinda get the hate for it...but it's just a really nice and smooth listen.

Let's sink even lower into SD land with #90, the second lowest SD. A low top 30 and a low top 50 make up the only top half ranks here. Its highest rank is higher than #91's...so why is its SD lower? Only three people ranked this in their bottom 10 (and its two bottom 5s are both high), and only three others even placed this in their bottom 20.

[peacebone]

There were lots of songs on this list that I thought were quite good. This was the last song on my list to receive that honor.

The low SDs continue with #89, the fifth lowest. Half of this song's four top half ranks are top 40s. Half of this song's eight bottom 20s are bottom 10s, but only one is a bottom five. This song finished at its lowest point.

[Butterflies & Hurricanes]

I probably under-ranked Wolfgang Press & I had it in my 50s...good god guys, bottom 10?!?

[peacebone]

This was okay, but I really hoped for so much more from the voice behind my single favorite song of the 80s.
