I loved Milk Teeth’s debut album from 2016 “Vile Child” as one of my favorites of that year, so I was super excited for this self-titled second release. While I wouldn’t consider it to be nearly as good and upbeat and intense, it still is currently in my Top 40 of the year thus far.
They typically have a very catchy alternative rock, power pop, and pop punk sound, but it almost sounds like they want to go in a bit of a heavier route now as heard from this song.
Congrats to @trilogy for clearing your Bottom 10.

The Pet Shop Boys are still alive and making some damn good synthy pop tunes with their first album in four years. It’s still currently in my Top 30 for the year.
I’m impressed with how they’re able to keep up well with the times as you’d think this is from a more modern day band. This song in particular was super upbeat and gets stuck in my head often.

The loser of the tie is Bombay Bicycle Club. They’re a band that I was never able to get into in the past, but tried out their new album with the same name as the song “Everything Else Has Gone Wrong.”
This song in particular has grown on me a lot as my favorite on the album. I need to check out their earlier material as my mind may change from the past.

I have to say that I am surprised that Ratboys made the Top 10 and am pretty happy that they did. Especially, when they were likely unknown to most of us.
This year saw the release of their third-length album “Printer’s Devil.” They have a nice blend of indie pop/rock, emo, and pop rock that I want to check out more of.
Congrats to Daryl the Beryl for clearing your Bottom 10.

I enjoyed Moaning’s second full-length album that was released back in March. It was a terrific mix of Post-Punk and Indie Rock that is still currently in my Top 40 in terms of favorite albums of the year so far. Happy to see them reach the Top 10.
Condolences go out to @humanshazam for losing your #1.

Destroyer’s first full-length album came out 24 years ago, but somehow, this was the first one that I heard. This song was by far my favorite track on it with such an amazing blend of art pop, synthpop, and more.
I’m glad that some of you also enjoyed it as well and apparently, some others didn’t. This is also the first song on the rankdown never to leave the Top 10.
Condolences go out to Geometrical for losing your #1.

This is the first Tame Impala album to be honest that I really got into. After doing Daryl’s Tame Impala Rankdown yesterday, I realized that I need to give the previous ones another chance. This might be my second favorite song on the album after “Lost in Yesterday” as it gelled with me right away.

Unfortunately, while I have to congratulate wheatsquares33 for clearing your Bottom 10, I have to express my condolences to wrip , janinho , and @trilogy for losing your #1 here.
I’m quite surprised that this finished as high as it did and how three people out of ten chose it as their #1 pick. I’m glad to see it though as Beach Bunny’s debut album had a great sound of indie rock/pop, power pop, and midwest emo to please almost anyone with ears in some way.

While I clear my Bottom 10, I did enjoy Joywave’s new album a good amount, but I just haven’t gotten into them nearly as much as in their debut back in 2015. I thought this song was one of the better tracks on it, but didn’t predict it to finish in the Top 5.

While congrats go out to janinho for cleaning your Bottom 10, condolences are sent to peacebone for losing your #1.
I have not heard Georgia’s album from 2015, but this new one is her second album titled “Seeking Thrills.” Man… between this song, “24 Hours,” and “Ultimate Sailor” among others, this album just freaking blew me away.
If this song doesn’t uncontrollably make you want to get up and dance immediately with it’s blend of synthpop, electropop, synthwave, and dance-pop, I don’t know what will. I’m super glad to see it finish here at #4.

With Spanish Love Songs going out now (condolences to singingrulebritannia and Daryl the Beryl ), we ALL have lost our #1 and #2. I have no idea if this has happened before, but this amazed me that it was never #1 at any point. Congrats to wrip for finally clearing your Bottom 10.
Spanish Love Songs new album “Brave Faces Everyone” is still in my Top 5 for the year. Even though I personally ranked this song at #18, the album as a whole hits me right in the feels the entire listen.
As someone who graduated college in the late 00s and had to deal with really crappy underpaying jobs afterward just to make ends meet in a horrible economy back then, I can 100% relate to their lyrics. Their music is just so strongly felt and I can’t wait to see them only grow from here with their sort of pop punk/emo sound.

Nada Surf came back this year with their first new album in four years titled “Never Not Together.” While I was eager to check it out when it was released back in February, I had no idea that it would still remain in my Top 5 of the year even now.
It has so much 90s Alternative Rock goodness from this song, “So Much Love,” “Just Wait,” “Mathilda,” “Ride in the Unknown,” and more. I am thrilled to see it finish at #2. If you haven't heard it yet and feel like taking an imaginary trip back to the mid-90s, definitely give it a listen.

It honestly SHOCKS me that Trail of Dead finish as the #1 SONG. This song was from the band’s first album in six years titled “X: The Godless Void and Other Stories” and is still in my Top 10 for the year. It includes an amazing mixture of indie rock, alternative rock, post-hardcore, and progressive rock that has something for any rock fan of any sub-genre.
This song is probably tied with “Something Like This” as my favorites on the album, but I have to give honor to tracks such as “Into the Godless Void” and “Blade of Wind” as others that I can’t get enough of.
I’m glad that everyone ranked this in their Top 20, so no one can be too upset over this as the winner. It still amazes me that no one had their #1 or #2 in the Top 2.
