Forgotten 90s & 2000s Alternative Songs Rankdown Part 3
Hello there again! Welcome to the third 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 retro list below!
If you didn’t participate or check out the first or second 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 deadline at this point will be on Friday January 22nd 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) Innerpartysystem - Don’t Stop
2) INXS - Time
3) Jane’s Addiction - True Nature
4) Jars of Clay - Crazy Times
5) Jill Sobule - I Kissed A Girl
6) Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot
7) Keane - Somewhere Only We Know
8) The Killers - A Dustland Fairytale
9) Kill Hannah - Lips Like Morphine
10) King Missile - Detachable Penis
11) Kings of Leon - Crawl
12) The Kooks - She Moves In Her Own Way
13) Korn - Alone I Break
14) K’s Choice - Everything for Free
15) Lenny Kravitz - If You Can’t Say No
16) Less Than Jake - History of a Boring Town
17) Linkin Park - Runaway
18) Lit - Looks Like They Were Right
19) Live - Heaven
20) Living Colour - Elvis is Dead
21) The Living End - Roll On
22) Liz Phair - Whip-Smart
23) Local H - Eddie Vedder
24) Long Beach Dub Allstars - Sunny Hours
25) Madina Lake - House of Cards
26) Meat Puppets - Scum
27) Midtown - Give It Up
28) Monster Magnet - Negasonic Teenage Warhead
29) Morningwood - Nth Degree
30) Muse - Stockholm Syndrome
31) New Order - Ruined In A Day
32) Nine Inch Nails - Starf**kers, Inc.
33) Nirvana - On A Plain
34) No Doubt - It’s My Life
35) O.A.R. - Love and Memories
36) Oasis - Rock N’ Roll Star
37) The Offspring - Totalimmortal
38) Oleander - I Walk Alone
39) Orbit - Medicine (Baby Come Back)
40) Orgy - Opticon
There is a Spotify playlist as well with 38 of the 40 songs below.
Meat Puppets' "Scum" and The Offspring's "Totalimmortal" are not on Spotify, so there are YouTube videos as well below. Please enjoy!
If you can't see the playlist below, please find it here.
Please let me know if you would like to be taken away from future tags or added to them.
Have fun!

Taking one glance at it, this list may make me do something I never thought I'd ever do...

My apologies to anyone who has started ranking already, but gates noticed that I had the song "This Time" by INXS in the Spotify playlist instead of "Time." I just corrected the error.
Please make sure that you are ranking the correct song.
Speaking of gates, he is the first to turn in a list. Even before I turn one in to.. myself

I still can't believe "Detachable Penis" was a thing. 1992/93 was a weird time.

While going through the Spotify playlist I noticed that the version of "Don't Stop" included there is not the one I'm accustomed to hearing. Looking into this further, the version in the playlist is the one from the band's original EP released in 2007. The song was then re-recorded, and given a much better sound imo, before being included on their debut album in 2008 whereupon it was also released as a single. The album version is also on Spotify:

Alrighty. I'm just sending out one FINAL REMINDER as the due date is tonight for any lists.
If you need more time to finish, please just let me know sometime today and I'll give you as much as time as you need.
Thank you to Red and jamesflame for your lists to make eleven participants now. I totally didn't expect to have this many, so this is awesome. Thank you everyone!

I forgot to close this out last night, but am doing so now.
Thanks to peacebone for another list to finalize this at twelve participants.
I'm hoping to start revealing #31-40 tomorrow as I won't have time to work on them today.
Thank you to everyone who sent a list in :)

Here are just some stats as I work on reveals. I hope to reveal #31-40 tonight, but I'm not sure if I'll finish working on them today. Otherwise, hopefully within the next couple of days.
#1 is 18 points higher than #2.
#2 is 22 points higher than #3.
#3 is 25 points higher than #4.
#5 is 62 points higher than #6.
There are three ties for #9, 11, and #22.
#40 is 20 points lower than #39.
#1 was #1 the entire time.

Just an update for anywhere wondering when reveals for this will start. I apologize as I was hoping to get those going last weekend.
It's been a super busy last week for me to have time to work on them, so I definitely hope to get at least #31-40 revealed this weekend. Maybe #21-30 as well if possible.
I'll see depending on how things go. I did not forget about you all :)

It’s not so sunny for the Long Beach Dub Allstars as they are the first artist to be eliminated from this rankdown.
Fun fact: I’ve mentioned this on here before, but right after I started driving on my own in my senior year of high school in 2001, I got into a very small fender bender leaving the parking lot. I remember this song being on the radio as it happened. Unfortunately, I’ll always affiliate this song with that incident.
I don’t think it’s a bad song, but I can see why it finished dead last with the performance of artists such as Sublime, Dirty Heads, etc have finished in the past.
