Yeah, well, I'm gonna go build my own rankdown, with PVRIS and Big Data.
In fact, forget the rankdown.

The instrumentation on this is splendid. I was sitting in on one of my girlfriend's DJ shifts she had done for another station that she worked at, and this song came on and caught my ear. This song is just so pleasing to listen to, and it gets so good in the second half of the song. Just a super solid track. I was scared this one was gonna fall the way of Dr. Dog from Daytime, but it exceeded my expectations despite missing the finals.

I only bumped "Midnight In Harlem" down to 3 last minute, it was actually my 1 for most of the time I was making my list
The instrumentation on that song is beautiful

I've honestly never been that big into The Naked and Famous, but this song has always been a winner for me. I love the songwriting on this one, and it's just a solid track all around from them. I wish this was the hit that "Young Blood" was.

lol, the first eleven almost could not have gone any better, and then I lose three of my top five and get a "one off".
I'm going to bed.

I was always surprised when this absolutely bombed on radio after "Midnight City" was huge and "Reunion" did quite well as the follow-up. It was like a second single, but this seemed really radio friendly at the time.

This and "Can't Deny My Love" flopping on Alt radio when his album was released was super surprising to me. I thought those would be surefire smashes by the sounds of them, and for the fact that Brandon Flowers fronts one of the biggest bands in the world. I've always been a fan of the creepy nature of this one. Fun that "Can't Deny My Love" was in my first ever rankdown, and here Brandon returns for my final full personal rankdown!

I should have ranked this a little lower, tbh. It wouldn't have kept it out of the final, but I would have felt like wherever it eventually ended up was a more fitting placement for a solo BF song that I never really got into all that much.
It's fine, it's just that he has better.

I absolutely love the melody of this one. This is one of my favorites from Yours Conditionally. This showcases a lot of Tennis' strengths: namely Alaina's strengths. Just really good songwriting on this one, and her vocals sound great on this.

There's something that I really like about the singer's voice. I ought to dive deeper into Tennis's discography.

I'm an absolute sucker for this kind of sound. It never fails on me. Fun fact: the drummer of The Moth & The Flame is the former drummer of Imagine Dragons before Night Visions, so he's technically here twice in "Indie" III!

This is significantly better than I was expecting after listening to "The New Great Depression", which, while decent, disappointed me. This is much better and more in line with the band that I fell madly for a few years ago. It's not as good as "Red Flag", but not much is.

This is a song I actually discovered through XMU. I don't generally listen to Sirius XM, but I remember my mom having a rental car with Sirius XM in it last year, and we were going to the grocery store together, this came on while I was listening. Good song.
