The production is doing everything it can to keep this song from escaping its time, but everything else within the song refuses to be shackled by such restrictions. This song just goes so hard.
Sorry, zippy.

I figure that, if I used just about any of the actual classic Kraftwerk songs, we wouldn't be talking about them for a while yet. Those Kraftwerk songs were also not the song that I became obsessed with at times last year.
Sorry, Mirago.

Not going to lie to you, this song has kind of ruined "Fix You" for me. Both songs are trying hard to be the modern "Hey Jude", but this song is anthemic in a way that "Fix You" isn't able to accomplish as effectively.
willapted33, congrats on being the first poster to clear your bottom ten.

This is the happiest I was about a song's performance outside of the top ten. I'm going to gravitate naturally to heavier-sounding shoegaze, anyway, but something about this song just grabs me every single time from the first second and doesn't let up until it's over.
Sorry, lyhom, but, given that you expected much worse for this song, I imagine you'll take this.

While I did feature a song by this band in the main Journey series (a song I like even more than this one), I regret not featuring a song from this album in there instead. More than any other song or album, Portishead's self-titled album is the record I associate with my oldest sister more than any other, and this is one of the songs I most associate with her. The song itself being incredible doesn't hurt matters.
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, wrip. I'm sure this fact will go over swimmingly with everyone else.

Very good top 10 overall. Especially happy "Afrique Victime" made it.
Both my bottom 10s are fine songs, but I would rather see them gone soon - especially the one that we've already ranked in the past.

The immense praise and adoration for the Beach Boys somewhat confuses me. So much of their music feels like it's just there.

Not too surprised at my #27 and #29 made top 10, but they can leave now. Really surprised both city pop songs made the top 10. One is clearly superior to the other one and the weaker one should have been left already. As much as I love Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! and High Horse, they would be really boring winners. Hope my #1 goes far. It's the main reason I did this rankdown. I kind of regret not doing a certain rankdown to boost Hard Drive.

I could say a lot of things about these results--nasty things, particularly--but I'll try to keep this short and more diplomatic. There are quite a few ways this rankdown's top 10 could've been so much more interesting and in turn matched the wild spirit of the collection of songs itself. It makes me feel like some of you maybe could've approached this playlist with a more open mind.
