It truly has been a while, old friend.
So, what's all this? Okay, well, as far as I'm concerned, the Journey series ended with Journey 4. It had a good run, but it was time to retire the series. Does that mean that I was out of songs to include in rankdowns? Absolutely not. In fact, if I wanted to, I could have kept the Journey series going for years. How do I know this? Well, I mean, you're looking at a new rankdown thread from yours truly right now.
Unlike with the Journey series, I'm not going to hit you with a bunch of words about the rules. Here's the basics: Rank your favorite songs from 1 to 40, with 1 being your favorite and 40 your least-favorite. Send your rankings to me (that's @oldman--I mean, Red ) via PM, numbers or without numbers. The deadline, as of right now, is March 22nd, 2022 at 8pm US Eastern, though, with how busy I am these days, this deadline date is very subject to change. Oh, and note that I'm using one of gates' tag lists from his most recent personal RD. If you wish to be added to this tag list, please do not hesitate to let me know.
See, told you that the rules would be briefer this time.
And now, meet the 40 songs!
ABBA - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) AEGES - Fault Aphex Twin - Pulsewidth The Beach Boys - Forever Black Country, New Road - Track X Black Mountain - Future Shade Blind Willie Johnson - Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground Bring Me the Horizon - Can You Feel My Heart Charli XCX - Visions clipping. - Check the Lock Converge and Chelsea Wolfe - Blood Moon The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Fire! Darkside - The Limit Elbow - One Day Like This Everything Everything - Desire Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes - Snake Eyes Hawkwind - Silver Machine HIM - Join Me in Death The Hu - Sugaan Essena Kacey Musgraves - High Horse Kaoru Akimoto - Dress Down Kraftwerk - Boing Boom Tschak Lemon Demon - Touch-Tone Telephone Mdou Moctar - Afrique Victime Miki Matsubara - Stay with Me Monster Magnet - Powertrip Mort Garson - Plantasia Narrow Head - Cool in Motion Olivia Newton-John - Magic Portishead - Undenied Queen - I'm Going Slightly Mad Rage Against the Machine - Calm Like a Bomb Rodrigo y Gabriela - Mettavolution Simple Minds - Someone Somewhere (In Summertime) The Sundays - Summertime They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse in Your Soul This Mortal Coil f/ Elizabeth Fraser - Song to the Siren Tom Tom Club - Suboceana The Tornados - Telstar TR/ST - Rescue, Mister

I think I'll participate in this rankdown. I don't recognize most of the songs.

#1-3: 4.5/5 #4-23: 4/5 #24-33: 3.5/5 #34-39: 3/5 #40: 2.5/5
(In case you've never seen my ratings before, this is a very good average for my standards)
Even though I still love my 22 and 23 and because of that couldn't rank them any lower, I'm hoping neither wins, since they would be easily the most boring winners on this list.

Gonna go on ahead and do this a day ahead of time, because I'm about to be really busy over the next few days and probably won't have time to tag people for this RD.
(slightly more than) THREE WEEKS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

I actually feel pretty good about reaching the deadline for this. I say this now, and I'll miss the deadline by at least a month, knowing me.
TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

Still feeling decent about the deadline for now. I'm also going to try to do daily tag posts until deadline day.

Still planning on keeping the deadline day as is, right at this moment.
Very minor spoiler: Having put in the rankings so far, the results as of right now would be pretty interesting.
FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

Getting very close to the deadline. I think I'm going to stick to the deadline, so, if you're looking to submit for this, now would be a good time to get started if you haven't.
TWO DAYS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

I'm going to submit, but it will probably be within a few hours before the deadline. I could never miss a fellow old man rankdown.

That's right, AI, old men must stick together. And old men must do tag posts in the morning, I guess.

Home stretch! I'll announce this here, as well: The deadline tonight is not a hard deadline, because I have a lot of work to do for reveals. When is the "hard deadline"? Tomorrow morning, US Eastern, because I will have a lot of work to do to get things done. If you feel like you're rushing, here's a little extra time, if you need it.
ZERO DAYS UNTIL THE DEADLINE. wait a minute

Okay, we've passed the "soft deadline", so now it's time to really bring this rankdown home. Reminder: If you do not submit by the "hard deadline" of tomorrow morning US Eastern time, your ranking will not be counted.
WE ARE IN THE LATE SUBMISSION PERIOD!

I haven't done rankdowns in a while because I got no time, but I swear to God if somebody dares to tank ABBA.

I am often preoccupied with making my own playlists on Spotify, but I was glad to get through this playlist and discover some great music.

Well, we're past noon my time, and, since I haven't heard from anyone else about submitting, that can only mean one thing: Submissions are officially closed. If you didn't submit and wish to be tagged for reveals (and didn't already inform me that you wanted to be tagged), please do so soon.
For those of you who did submit, reveals will (hopefully) begin tonight. I'm also going to post a survey and some pre-reveal stats shortly!
