Kings of Leon: The Singles Rankdown (Winner Revealed)

[fearlessarrow]

I did rank "Use Somebody" higher because I actually do prefer that song but would not be opposed to seeing "Sex On Fire" win, that one's a good one too.

Five people were robbed of a p-p-perfect ranking but heyyyy! "Use Somebody" is the winner!!!!

[fearlessarrow]

As basic as the winner is, "Use Somebody" is still great and there's a reason why it won both Song and Record of the Year at the Grammys! I'm also surprised "Waste a Moment" was able to make it all the way to #3.

Thanks for hosting born!

There was a time when "Radioactive" was my favorite, that intro is killer.

It didn’t win Song. “Single Ladies” did.

Great rank down and I discovered some pretty fierce stuff I didn't know existed. Their early garage rock stuff is really boss.

Love the top 5. All songs in my top 10.

Waste a Moment wasn't even a favorite of mine til it's actual chart run was almost done, but it grew on me like a 20 year old's hairline. "Wait For Me" is another one that took it's time on my listening buds. "Use Somebody" spent mad weeks climbing my weekly chart. Another slow burner that finally settled on me once it cruised on over to poptart land. and finally the rock star of the bunch" Sex On Fire". Another blow burner that set my chart on fire once it hit my top 10. I think the title of the song is the real cream that sets it higher that the rest of the songs. The tie breaker.
