My longest personal rankdown series is back, after half a year! If you're new here, I created the 4 Random Rock rankdowns because, around the beginning of last year, I started coming up with a list of surprising absences of rock songs from Pulse games up to that point. I felt my selection was too varied to siphon them off into substantive themed rankdowns (aside from post-punk), so I've been trying to strike the best balance I can with this huge database of possibilities. My intent was to make them harder to rank over time, so participants of RR1 and 2 can look forward to a difficulty increase. Although, since this series has occurred across such a large time-frame, not all of these songs come from my original 140+ choices. But hey, I had replacements in mind, so it's still all good!
Acquaint yourself with these songs thoroughly, then PM me your ranking of all of them from favorite (#1) to least favorite (#36). Leave the artist names in or not, either way is fine, but please make sure your artist names/titles are typed the same way they are in this opening post. Whether you number your list or not is up to you. After sending your list, you may make changes to your ranks as long as you do so before the deadline. Results are determined by adding up each person's ranks for each song; the song with the least points wins.

For whatever reason, Budgie's and My Bloody Valentine's rights holders refuse to place "Breadfan" and "You Made Me Realise" on U.S. streaming services. Here are those songs in YouTube video form.
{...and it appears Canadians cannot access "Deadhead" either!}
