First of all, holy shit, this should not have been a first listen. I should have known this song already. How did I not know of this song before?
This was one of a very rare few first listens where I was just completely and utterly engaged the moment the song began. In a rankdown full of great guitar work, this song's guitar work stood out to me the most...and the drums...and the atmosphere...and the "HEY YOU!"...and, well, pretty much everything. This floored me the first time I listened to it, and I have been downright obsessed with it ever since.

God, I love comparing this to what would come just three years later. There are little glimpses of what would follow, but they're just drowned out in the sea of noise, and that's what makes this song so fascinating.

This song just moves, and I felt myself swaying along involuntarily while listening to it. It's impossible to not move along while listening to it, it's infectious.

I like this a LOT, but I probably overranked it a bit. I feel like this lays the blueprint for Daydream Nation, but I think Daydream Nation absolutely nails the landing, whereas this almost gets there.

Your final 2. Accident ProneAlisonTale of the Tape:This was only the top 2 for 3 movements. These 2 songs spent a combined 10 movements at #1. These songs have a combined 24 top 10s, 15 being top 5s and 5 being #1s. 6 bottom 18s remain, 4 being bottom 5s. No players can get a perfect top 2. willapted33, being down to his 1 and 4, is the closest. One of these songs owns the 3rd highest standard deviation.

I legitimately thought this song would top out at around #13. Top 2? Being the presumptive winner on multiple occasions? These results blew my fuc king mind, man. Though, the more I consider, the more it makes sense. "Accident Prone" straddles the line between accessibility and retaining an edge really well, and structure/pacing-wise it's designed to tug at the heartstrings. 213 Points Standard Deviation: 9.089425013 Average Rank: 11.83333333

Both great songs, both worthy of getting this far. Jawbreaker is a band I've always really liked, and "Accident Prone" is simply on another level compared to even most of their other best songs, but it's hard to top "Alison". It's just too perfect. It's Slowdive mastering shoegaze. After this and Souvlaki, there was nowhere to go but down. singingrulebritannia, you just caused me to send you a message detailing why I thought Alison won with the third highest standard deviation (which I was right about, though not as much about the details). I think it's safe to say you have delivered yet another engaging and fun RD.

superb winner (:
also pleasantly surprised that accident prone was so high, not quite my highest first listen but my highest first listen for an artist

Thanks a ton for hosting as always, gates! This was another fun rankdown to participate in.
Although, I obviously didn't choose a high ranking for the winner, I'm glad that it didn't affect anything and many others of you were quite satisfied :)
