peacebone's 2010s Rankdown (it's over)

[peacebone]

It's happened. I've finally entered the personal rankdown game.

Those of you who have hung around me for a while will remember the dream pop rankdown I started hints for about two years ago but never finished (that'll happen someday though, I promise!). And then late last year, I finally almost opened my first personal rankdown - I even had a list finished - but it ended up being the victim of extremely unfortunate timing. It was a late 70s/80s alternative-themed rankdown...the problem was, two other people by sheer coincidence opened similarly themed rankdowns at right around the same time. That's also still going to happen, just when there isn't a deluge of similarly-themed rankdowns (and we now have a post-punk rankdown with quite a few artists from that list, so).

It may not be the most original of themes, but it feels so relieving to finally be able to represent my personal taste in a rankdown. Now, calling some of these "favorites of the decade" is admittedly a stretch - quite a few of those have already appeared in rankdowns - but some of these are more just really cool discoveries I've made that I want to rank somewhere. Regardless, I really hope you all enjoy listening to this list.

So...I'm going to assume you all know the drift behind sending for rankdowns. I'd actually prefer that you send the list without numbers (it's the easiest way to insert lists), but I don't really care too much as long as you send the songs properly listed. Anyways, I'm going to set the deadline for midnight ET on Friday, April 24th - I'm not going to give too many extensions, however. Just under two months should be more than enough time to get through 50 songs.

Anyways, here are the 50 songs you will be ranking:

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Round and Round
Baroness - Cocainium
Barrie - Clovers
Beach House - Sparks
Bonobo - Cirrus

Cold Cave - Glory
Cut Copy - Sun God
Danny Brown - When It Rain
DARKSIDE - Paper Trails

Father John Misty - Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings
Flying Lotus - Do the Astral Plane
Gold Fields - Dark Again (Lights Out)
Hatchie - Sure
Hot Chip - Huarache Lights
John Maus - Cop Killer

Keep Shelly in Athens - Silent Rain

I've never listened to any of these songs so I need to think it over before I decide to participate.

[willapted33]

i see nothing but classics

[Deleted]

Where is the dream pop list.

jk this list is fire and I’m glad you’re finally jumping into personals!

[singingrulebritannia]

In your honor, I took a nap in the middle of ranking this list


But not for the quality of the list, lol--it was just about as strong as I imagined a peacebone personal could be. It physically hurt me to leave any of my 26-37 out of my top half

[peacebone]

I hope you've enjoyed the lack of reminders here (Red), because it's time for me to unleash my first reminder for this rankdown - four weeks left until the deadline! Not counting my own list, I'm at three lists so far; not a bad start.

[Beno]

I've got over half the list ranked already so I should have this in by the end of the day my time

[macattack]

I don't think I'm going to pull this off. Sorry. :(

[peacebone]

So after having spoken with several users who had expressed interest, I've decided to provide a minor extension. This rankdown will now be due at midnight ET on Monday (the 27th), with plans to start reveals on Monday night. No further extensions will be given.

(like this post if you'd like to be untagged)

I would also like to note that Clams Casino has decided to finally add "I'm God" to streaming today (therefore it's now on the Spotify playlist). Whether or not it was coincidental that he waited until this rankdown's original deadline is something to think about, but it's just something I needed to note.

[peacebone]

~12 hours left! This will be my last reminder.

[Butterflies & Hurricanes]

there is an artist on this list who i've seen in concert twice...& unless you count Frank Black (who i've seen solo & w/ the Pixies), it's the only artist i've ever seen twice

needless to say, the song by this artist did make my Top 10...but not my #1...any guesses as to which artist this is?

only ever seen two bands in concert more than once...Pixies & Cut Copy...actually, it was Frank Black solo the 1st time so I guess I should say Frank Black & Cut Copy

just sent

probably one of the best rankdowns I've done, making a bottom ten for this wasn't fun

I’d forgotten I’d written that

[peacebone]

Reveals will be starting at around 10 PM EDT as I set things up and wait for at least one more list. In the meantime, have an obligatory survey:

1. Which songs do you predict will make the top 10?
2. Which songs do you predict will make the bottom 10?
3. Which songs will have high or low SDs?
4. Where did you rank your highest first listen?

1. Which songs do you predict will make the top 10?
this is kinda impossible to tell... but perhaps Your Best American Girl, Cutting My Fingers Off, Round and Round, Sparks all seem like at least decent guesses. Busy Earnin', Sure, Romance, Chamber of Reflection also seem like ok bets but i'm a bit more shaky on those. i'll throw in When It Rain, A.C.D., and I Blame Myself as minor possibilities as well. if i'm being honest, though, anything could be top 10 here, it was that good

2. Which songs do you predict will make the bottom 10?
ugh this is so hard to predict but probably some of the more ambient leaning tracks? such as Paper Trails, Florida, or Eccojam A3 (this would suck though). i'm really at a loss with this question though

3. Which songs will have high or low SDs?
I'm God might have a high SD, in addition to Siberian Breaks and Sun God just for being long. Hacker is a definite high one as well. as for low, i don't see many people disagreeing on Deadly Valentine?

4. Where did you rank your highest first listen?
lol
