I dedicated December through February to helping take care of the year-end rankdown load for both the Rock and R&B/Hip-Hop sections, then took a couple weeks off from hosting. Now, while Razor is handling the next retro year in mainstream rock, let me attend to some unfinished business, starting with the other half of my coverage of one of my two favorite genres. I opened the first Soul rankdown March 3rd last year, so it's only fitting I open the second on nearly the same day this year. If you noticed any massive artists missing from the first volume, they're very likely in this volume. And yes, I'm just as stunned as you are that, over 5 years into the existence of the game mode, some of these songs had still never been ranked--time to fix that.
Acquaint yourself with these songs thoroughly, then PM me your ranking of all of them from favorite (#1) to least favorite (#30). Leave the artist names in or not, either way is fine, but please make sure your artist names/titles are typed the same way they are in this opening post. Whether you number your list or not is up to you. After sending your list, you may make changes to your ranks as long as you do so before the deadline. Results are determined by adding up each person's ranks for each song; the song with the least points wins.
