After having completed the first two Random Rock installments and doing Part 1 of both the Funk/Disco and Electronic/Dance series, I want to break off on a little tangent from the multi-part rankdowns. You may have noticed I've been avoiding one particular realm of rock in the Random Rock rankdowns, even though I've shown myself in the past to be a huge fan of it: post-punk. This is because I've been saving my energies in that department for a real deep dive, in order to do it justice. Many of the artists in this rankdown have appeared in other rankdowns (some even in ones of my own), and I just went with, in my opinion, some of their next logical picks. Others, though, are making their rankdown debuts, and I'm excited to get to introduce you to them.
Acquaint yourself with these songs thoroughly, then PM me your ranking of all of them from favorite (#1) to least favorite (#40). Leave the artist names in or not, either way is fine--and by this point I've learned that non-numbered lists are actually easier to insert, but I won't say you should or shouldn't number. After sending your list, you may make changes to your ranks as long as you do so before the deadline. Results are determined by adding up each person's ranks for each song; the song with the least points wins.
