A Psychedelic Rankdown Trip (Winner!)

A Psychedelic Rankdown Trip




This started a while ago as a collaborative playlist between zippy and me. We were recently talking about some rankdown ideas we had, and we mentioned hosting one together, so we thought how about we turn our playlist idea into a rankdown

zippy and I have each selected 20 songs for our psychedelic theme - primarily neo-psychedelia and various psychedelia-influenced indie rock and indie pop, and including genres such as psychedelic garage, shoegaze, dream pop, Madchester, space rock, hypnagogic pop, etc.

The 40 songs we've chosen:

Yeasayer - 2080
Deerhunter - Agoraphobia
Neon Indian - Annie
Doves - Black And White Town
Beck - Chemtrails
Pinkshinyultrablast - The Cherry Pit
Love - The Daily Planet
Oasis - Falling Down
Animal Collective - FloriDada
Chicano Batman - Friendship (Is A Small Boat In A Storm)
The Dandy Warhols - Godless
TV On The Radio - Golden Age
The Darkside - Guitar Voodoo
Suzanne Vega - Headshots
Tame Impala - It Is Not Meant To Be
The Beatles - It's All Too Much
Simian - La Breeze
Caribou - Melody Day
Jane Weaver - Mission Desire
Stereolab - Miss Modular
Bowery Electric - Next to Nothing
Yves Tumor - Noid
Department Of Eagles - No One Does It Like You
Mac DeMarco - On the Level
Broadcast - Pendulum
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Rattlesnake
Spiritualized - Run
Osees - Said the Shovel
Inspiral Carpets - Saturn 5
Temples - Shelter Song
Floating Points - Silurian Blue
CAN - Sing Swan Song
Cornelius - Star Fruits Surf Rider
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Stop
Cut Copy - Strangers In The Wind
The Stone Roses - This Is the One
The Fiery Furnaces - Tropical Ice-Land
Ride - Twisterella

Hello. The playlist is under my Spotify account name utdals. The original idea for the collaborative playlist was to collect hundreds of psychedelic or indie songs from various artists, but since I participated in Aero's Dynamite Rankdown, I thought it would be better for both of us to have a smaller playlist for this purpose. I will also be making my own list of ranks for these songs.

I am eagerly waiting for any last minute submissions.

[Lordef†ones]

I can get mine in tomorrow night

[CarnoTorrential]

Just got my list in.

Don't normally participate in non-year-end rankdowns since I don't know much of the music being ranked, but this seemed like a good chance at discovering some good music.

I can safely say I absolutely love the songs I put in my top 10 here.

[MoD]

I actually hadn't been so excited about a personal rankdown in a long time, really solid list, my top 3 were all first listens

[wrip]

I don't know if I have too many specific predictions mainly cause a lot of these were first listens for me but I'm definitely excited. I'm probably gonna tank but hopefully I don't do awful lol

[aerodynamite]

#40-31 starts in just a few minutes.

zip and I will each be posting the reveals for our own song selections.

Not so surprised by this result. Florida is a weird place,
this song is even weirder (unless you know Animal Collective),
and this video is... uh...

I've been getting back into Animal Collective lately, but one of the songs I haven't changed my mind on is "Floridada", sadly
