#45: Awolnation "The Best" Genre: Alt
It's a shame this guy's only top 20 (or Hot 100 entry, actually) is "Sail". He's got 8 singles I like so much better, like this one for example.

#44: Gorillaz & Beck "The Valley of The Pagans" Genre: Alt
I would've assumed I'd like the Gorillaz/Robert Smith (Cure) collab the best, but turns out this one is my fav.

#43: Ghostemane "Hydrochloride" Genre: Metal
The EDM/thrash-masher (see song #48) nailed it with this darkwave metal song about quitting drugs.

#41: All Time Low "Getaway Green" Genre: Rock
When that girl ignores you until she wants to getaway and have a good time. But that's all you are to her...

#44: Gorillaz & Beck "The Valley of The Pagans" Not a Gorillaz fan by far, but this one is getting groovier and groovier by the listen.
#42: Emmure "Thunder Mouth" I ended sorta up enjoying this , because it sounds like something Marilyn Manson could actually pull off. Good song to purge anger to.
#41: All Time Low "Getaway Green" This from the new album? Now this is poppunk I can scream a long to. The melody reminds me of "Ziplock Bag" Way better than 'Monsters" including the Demi Lovato sceramathon. Download/check.

#37: A Day To Remember "Mindreader" Genre: Rock
A more straightforward upbeat jam without their usual heaviness (no breakdown?!). But they didn't disappoint by going too far into pop. It's a rockin' earworm!

#36: Matthew Good "Sicily" Genre: Rock
Another hit on the Canadian Rock Chart from a guy who's pondered quitting the business and making music just for himself and his friends. Glad he hasn't yet.

#38: Neon Trees "Used To Like" One of the best Alt comebacks of 2020. Not that they were ever gone. I've charted everything in between from these guys, but this one was particularly fantastic.

Another dark-pop alt-core trap-rock song. This one co-written with Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda.

Not usually big on the Scandinavian cinematic goth metal, but this one is surprisingly very catchy.

Slipknot singer shows he can do more than scream about hate and hopelessness. Surprisingly introspective.

One of the few modern pop bands that I like more than just one or two of their songs. Here's the third one from them on my list.
