During the first 3 years of my Pulse games activity, I always had several personal rankdowns plotted out in advance. But the events of 2020 made it much more difficult to spend time honing the song selection for the final 3 genres I wanted to tackle, so I only just recently finished this list up. Two of these genres, jazz and reggae, I'm planning out just as much for the novelty of them as much as my love for the music. But for the genre of Soul? Being maybe my favorite style of music next to Rock, I was always going to have a drive to highlight it no matter how saturated the market was (and it isn't, really, so that's just a bonus).
Acquaint yourself with these songs thoroughly, then PM me your ranking of all of them from favorite (#1) to least favorite (#30). 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.
