Forgotten 90s & 2000s Alternative Songs Rankdown Part 2
Hello again! Welcome to the second rankdown in the series of Alternative songs from the 90s and 2000s that maybe you forgot about or just have never heard before. Hopefully you plan to take the journey down memory lane with this retrotastic list below!
If you didn’t participate or check out the first rankdown of this series, I made some ground rules for a song to be featured in it.
1) The song must have not appeared in any other Alternative year-end rankdown.
2) It must have peaked on the Alternative chart somewhere between #21-40 on Billboard.
3) The song had to have been released between 1990-2009.
A lot of these were extras on year-end rankdowns, so we get the chance to rank these as many of them just missed the Top 100 year-end cutoff.
The FINAL DEADLINE at this point will be on Friday August 7th at 10:00pm EST
Please rank each song from #1-40 by "Artist - Song" and PM your list to me (American Idiot ).
Here is a list of the 40 songs that you’ll be ranking.
1) Dashboard Confessional - Rapid Hope Loss
2) Deftones - Back To School (Mini Maggit)
3) Dinosaur Jr. - The Wagon
4) The Donnas - Fall Behind Me
5) Drowning Pool - Sinner
6) Duran Duran - Too Much Information
7) Eagles of Death Metal - Wannabe in LA
8) Evanescence - Everybody’s Fool
9) Everclear - Heroin Girl
10) The Explosion - Here I Am
11) Fall Out Boy - A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More “Touch Me”
12) Far - Pony
13) Finger Eleven - Falling On
14) Flobots - Rise
15) Flogging Molly - Requiem for a Dying Song
16) The Flys - She’s So Huge
17) Foo Fighters - Stacked Actors
18) Fountains of Wayne - Denise
19) The Fratellis - Flathead
20) The Fray - Over My Head (Cable Car)
21) Fuel - Sunburn
22) Gavin Rossdale - Love Remains The Same
23) Gin Blossoms - Allison Road
24) Godsmack - Touche f/Dropbox
25) Goldfinger - Open Your Eyes
26) Good Charlotte - The River f/M. Shadows & Synyster Gates
27) Goo Goo Dolls - Broadway
28) Green Day - Nice Guys Finish Last
29) Greenwheel - Breathe
30) Guns N’ Roses - Chinese Democracy
31) Guster - Airport Song
32) Harvey Danger - Save It For Later
33) Hawthorne Heights - Ohio is for Lovers
34) (hed) P.E. - Blackout
35) The Hives - Tick Tick Boom
36) Hole - Gold Dust Woman
37) Hot Hot Heat - Talk To Me, Dance With Me
38) Hum - Comin’ Home
39) The Human League - Heart Like A Wheel
40) Iggy Pop - Wild America
There is a Spotify playlist as well with 37 of the 40 songs below. Far's "Pony," Harvey Danger’s “Save It for Later,” and Hole’s “Gold Dust Woman” are not on Spotify, so there are YouTube videos as well below. Please enjoy!
Also, please let me know if you would like to be taken away from future tags or added to them.

Sent.
#1 & 2: 4/5
#3-8: 3.5/5
#9-30: 3/5
#31-34: 2.5/5
#35-39: 2/5
#40: 1.5/5
I suppose this just isn't an exciting cross section of the alphabet in terms of Alternative bands.

Just doing a little update here.
Thank you to wripwrap for sending in a list, so there are five participants now.
I'll extend this another week as I'd like to get it up to at least ten. That gives you TWO MORE WEEKS to send a list in.

2003 Red would have hated me for ranking this so low.
2003 Red was not infallible.

Even as someone that kind of likes this song, this really, REALLY isn't aging well at all.
