Fun story about these guys, they have a song on Rock Band and I got their drummer at the time(not the one who recorded the song sadly) to jump on drums and play that song with me. Pretty cool moment

Beating The Road with just one point is Blue Ghosts. As you may have guessed, this song is about the blue ghosts in Pac-Man games. (Sample lyrics are And I try to win a game that has no end/And these dots never fill me up) It's a really cute concept for a song, but musically it doesn't offer anything special. razorshark loses a top 5. |

Beating Blue Ghosts with again just one point is Double Edge. As a product clearly of its time, it did a good show-up here and I like the instrument hook.
This song is quite consistent during submission process. This is the last remaining song without a top 10 rank.

#16 and #15 are tied in points (the 2nd tie of 4 ties in this rankdown). Unfortunately for Little Blimp it lost the tie. It reminds me of early Wolf Alice songs a bit so I rank this favorably here. The outro is quite good. tim loses a top 10 here. |

#15 is the highest SD song of the rankdown. Any guesses?
Also two people will lose their #1 after 15-11 were revealed. Moreover the songs involved are actually tied in points so more brutalness from this rankdown lol

I just don't really enjoy the autotune vocals and the weak groove in Violent Games. At least two of the others agree with me. peacebone, HamedM1 💔 and aerodynamite all lose a top 5 here. |

The two buildups of drums and the car acceleration sound (after all it's in a racing game soundtrack) are amazing, and they lead to slightly different drops too which is itself more rewarding. Definitely a highlight of electronic music in the soundtrack. trilogy loses #2 while I almost lose a top 5. Suck to see the downward trend trajectory. |

We saw that one song that slowly declines during submission. Here is another type that people will also see in a rankdown, one song that slowly rises during submission. And the feat goes to You're Not Pretty But You Got It Goin' On, which I think is a pretty mid song here (still strong outside this rankdown). There are more exciting rock songs in the rankdown. peacebone loses a top 5. |

I'm a sucker for indie rock with loud guitars. I'm happy it made it this far.

Unfortunately, razorshark becomes the first participant to lose #1, and it was on the path of similar performance before his list. This is a very fun Australian indie rock that I think has a sophisticated yet quite catchy groove. Pure energy that I wish more indie rocks have. But who else is the unfortunate person who loses the #1 at #11? |

Allies is an infectious song with good falsetto-like vocals and great groove. Not good for trilogy who just lose another top 5 after losing the #1. |

Above and Beyond make great trance songs. Anjunabeach is also very trippy. Bummed this game doesn't have a beach area. peacebone and I lose a top 5. trilogy got a perfect ranking. |

*losing counts of the times my car crashed intentionally or accidentally with the "I crashed my car into the bridge" lyrics* Seriously though I Love It is a pure fun song and it deserves the hit status. Great pick from the soundtrack curator(s) to introduce me to this before US people know this. Condolences to HamedM1 💔 for losing the #1. |

The rap in Bonkers is so slick. The music itself is loud but quite a banger. trilogy got another perfect ranking. |
