This is serviceable enough for a weaker mid 2000s Alt RD, but it can't really compete with a stacked Madness field. "These Things" would've maybe made my top half though. Doesn't help that this band is always so awkwardly thirsty, lol

I was going to put this in a Random Rock...so I guess thanks Will for doing my job for me, and a top 10 is a very satisfying finish for it

I know this is the early OMD song, but I'm not a big fan of it. Props for the pioneering aspect, but it's kind of like Vincent Clarke Depeche Mode where I get this chirpy, kiddy feel from the synth lines. Something like "Souvenir", on the other hand...

One more time!
Okay, normally, in any rankdown that I host (or co-host), this is where I start thanking people for submitting and taking part in this rankdown. But here's the thing, though: This is just the first of five rankdowns that we have to complete. We got to keep moving. The next seed, Seed 3, is already accepting submissions, and it's due two weeks from tonight, Friday, February 7th at 7pm US Eastern. Hell, a couple of people have submitted already. If only I could be so proactive.

Interesting read. I also learned that I like "messy, loud and poppy" music. ;)

I intend on tagging everyone every day for the next week yet again, so just get ready.
(Please keep in mind that, even if you have already submitted, you're still being tagged, in case you want to make any edits to your ranking before the deadline.)
