I was really into Andy Stott during the 2011-12 period when he released the Passed Me By/We Stay Together/Luxury Problems trifecta, but kind of stopped paying attention after that. Listening to what he's been up to since then, I'm not sure why I stopped 32

I would make a post talking about the five songs that have been revealed so far, but I feel similarly about all of them. They're all good songs, just not ones that I thought were great.

This is another song I've been scheming a place to rank for a long time (especially after someone abandoned their attempt at an inclusion). It may not be the best fit, but I don't know if I'll ever do another rap rankdown, and electro is an important piece of the early EDM puzzle. *shrugs* 31

Well, I wasn't prepared to talk about this song right now.
I don't think I can express just how ahead of its time "Planet Rock" was. It innovated in ways that are still being felt today. It is showing its age with each passing year, but, out of every song I was familiar with before this rankdown, it's the one that hit me the hardest on first listen.
This was also my initial #1. I guess I made the right decision removing it from the top spot.

It's interesting to think about a potential alternate universe where Skream was the big mainstream breakthrough of dubstep and not Skrillex.
Maybe dubstep wouldn't be a joke to people these days.

#29 begins a string of very high SDs, starting with the 3rd highest. Half of all rankings are in the top 18, and we lose our first #1

There's a lot of nostalgia out there for this game series, and certainly the manic soundtracks are a key contributing factor to those memories. My condolences, Zach 29

My heart lies with the original Dreamcast Jet Set/Grind. I never played Future. I bet that, if I had, I would have been so much kinder to this song than I was.

I expected this to be the highest SD, so I'm almost disappointed. Definitely the kind of song that inspires "wtf" or "hell yea" reactions in equal measure, lol 28

This song is just flat-out adorable and utterly heartwarming I have to imagine the Stevie Nicks quoting is intentional, but whenever I've tried to look, I've had a hard time finding any confirmation 26

FWIW, I love that cover art.
This is the designated "Man, I wish I got into this song more" song of this latest gates rankdown.

I specifically avoided mentioning Tricky when I talked about "King of the Beats", because I really didn't want to jinx this going out tonight.
Obviously, I think of "It's Tricky" first when I think of the SSX Tricky soundtrack, but this is one of the next ones.
