Yea so I totally forgot Dream Boy was in this game and thus I didn't realize the irony of me commenting positively on its thread while ranking it almost bottom 10 here until it was too late lmao

Thoughts from the Hosts Red: When this song was fighting it out in the top ten, I knew it wouldn't last, and it eventually ended up about where I expected it to. I expect that this is how (almost all of) my songs will perform going forward, but I'd love to be proven wrong! shazam: one of my highest first listens, love the mixing

Coincidentally, both of my picks are now going for Alternative adds on February 11, 2020. I wonder if either of them will make the 2020 Year-End Alt RD?

Thoughts from the Hosts Red: Rise Against has ever so slowly been wearing off of me over the last couple of years, but I can't deny that "Survive" is a good song still. (And hey, I'll always have a super soft spot for Siren Song.) shazam: one of my favorites from Rise Against back when they were one of my favorite bands, and this one still holds up

I've never liked Rise Against because their refusal to pick a lane annoys me. Either be raw chaotic hardcore or be hard-hitting but poppy and finely produced. I don't need this wishy-washy crap

We can't be friends anymore. This is my favorite song.
Oh and Red this song is on The Sufferer & The Wittness.

About the Hamburger Schule songs: I am only familiar with Tocotronic to be honest. I know other bands like Die Sterne only by name. But Was hat dich bloß so ruiniert was probably one of the best German Indie Rock songs I heard in a long time. Great pick.

"Mistakes & Regrets" was awesome. The only other song I had heard from ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead was "Relative Ways" from RFS 1. I will definitely have to check out more by this band.
Also I had considered picking songs for this but not having been a part of previous RoTos I didn't want to choose some crap that would just be a waste of everyone's time.

"Detroit Rock City". A Platinum Kiss Rock classic not too mention my #1 song out at #40 way before some random guitar playing thingie titled "Peace". Why do I even try?

Oh and Red this song is on The Sufferer & The Wittness. I know, lol. I specifically brought up Siren Song because it's my favorite Rise Against album, and I will always love it, despite me weaning off of Rise Against a bit.
stats, I guess

Thoughts from the Hosts Red: Really surprised that this was higher than "Mistakes & Regrets", tbh. I've been meaning to get into more of mwY's discography after falling in love with "Julia", and this was a pretty good start. shazam: mwY haven't clicked with me yet, but this is solid

I've heard two songs from The Paper Kites, and both of them were really solid. I should probably check out more of them.

Sorry Beno but this song was hilariously lame
It's exactly in that Bon Iver/Fleet Foxes lane I've never had any use for but with even less personality
