Oasis's last single is their best song. Where was this band the whole time?

Also this is a GOD-TIER top 3, holy cannoli

Hopefully this is my 24

This was my prediction to win, and for a while, it seemed certain that it would.

Tom, I'm not complaining, but how did "Twisterella" go from your 82 in 1992 Alternative to your top 5 in a rankdown as stacked as this?

1 v 3, at this point the order doesn't matter so I'll just root for whichever result causes the least heartache

Black and White Town is such a great song. Also, thanks for hosting both of you! It was such a good list with a really cool concept

Frankly, I'm glad you didn't, because both of these songs needed a second chance at greatness on the forums. Especially "Twisterella", which didn't even make top 15 in a rock chart rankdown >

"Twisterella" is basically exactly how I want jangle pop to be played: hard but sweet. Instant mood-lifter.
"Black and White Town", meanwhile, is this anguished, stir-crazy song that makes you want to run a mile. All of the sonics are so fine-tuned, from the spacious but earth-shaking drum sound, to the warped piano and atmospherics, to the singing and guitar that feel like they're burning up your speakers.

[Mayman]

I'm with those results. Thanks for hosting!

[willapted33]

would've loved to see Ride win it but i can't complain about Doves taking it out

this was a really fun rd to listen to & send for, great job hosting both of you (:

[Lordef†ones]

Yes, finally a victory for Doves!

[wrip]

I really just love Yves Tumor and a lot of their songs, it only made sense for me to rank Noid #1. This wasn’t exactly the outcome I was hoping for, but I’m not too upset considering I still thought the Doves song was nice!

Thank you for hosting aero and zippy 🥳 this was definitely a really cool rankdown 💯

it gets better with each listen...but i did seriously underrank it in 1992 Alt...deserved top half easily

my 3 wins & 5 come in 2nd...before that my top 10 was obliterated a long time ago, so yeah for these being the Top 2 ... thx for a great rankdown aerodynamite & zippy !

[CarnoTorrential]

Great rankdown!

Also lol at my list being the movement to switch Doves and Yves to their final spots.
