This was a Single of the Week on iTunes back in 2007 or something, and I absolutely loved this. This is a song I've already really really liked. Just a solid rock song that reminds me a lot of U2.

Blossoms is a really solid UK band. I wish they sent stuff to the US. I caught this one in an Apple Music playlist, and I like how different this one is. Solid synthpop. Fun fact: the singer of this band is the drummer for Deaf Havana.

I'm not as big of a fan of The Strokes as a lot of you are here, but I do like a decent bit of their songs – this included. It's solid indie rock that gets its job done well.

Death from Above is a really solid band. This isn't my favorite song from them, but still a solid song. My favorite song from them is "Nothin' Left", but that was used previously in the Sports Soundtrack Rankdown, so I went ahead and used this for here. They're a band that I definitely need to check out more of their older material.

This is yet another MLB The Show song. There is just one left remaining – "How You Like Me Now", which I didn't discover from The Show, but it still was on there. The lyrics and vocals on this aren't anything to write home about, but there is just something about that instrumentation and production that gets flatout addicting.

Sweet way to end this set
Nice top 10. I have a good feeling about my #1 going the distance but even if it doesn't I have 6 other top 10s

I was actually out eating lunch earlier today, and this song came on in the restaurant – fitting it's the first song to go out in the top 10. I've been a big fan of Hippo Campus since college, as I knew a lot of people that loved them and got me into them. "baseball" probably holds as my favorite song from them, barely edging out "Buttercup". This did a lot better than "Buttercup" did in "Indie" I, where that one finished bottom 2. That fact made this a surprise addition inside the top 10 here.

I wasn't expecting this one to be so divisive actually. Japandroids is a band that reminds me a lot of Death from Above actually. I've listened to a bit of their music, but "Younger Us" is the one from them that I would say I'm a big fan of and find the most memorable.
