I don't think there's a single person who could be remotely surprised about this. Not just the band being included, but the high SD, as well. At this point, in personals, it just comes with the territory for Muse.

I can't say that this song is the "peak" of shoegaze, not when you can claim that the likes of "Heaven or Las Vegas" are shoegaze in some form. It's really, really, really close, though.

Two instruments. That's all that these two men needed to create one of the most badass songs ever created. They'll probably never be this good again, but at least they gave us this.

Derided for its status as a pop hit, I'd argue that Joni Mitchell has never been better than she was here, being her usual supremely talented self while adding a twinge of catchiness and happiness that puts this song over the top for me.
Sorry, ccarter1023.

What most interests me about this song is how soothing it sounds in the face of lyrics and especially a vocal performance that suggest anything but. It has the strange effect of making me feel both the soothing, calming backdrop and the depression that surrounds Nick Drake, and it's unquestionably stunning.
To the surprise of no one, congrats on being the first to clear your bottom ten, rowellfarm490.

This song has a natural charm and magic to it that I just feel every single time I listen to it. I can understand why someone would dislike it, but I don't think that I'd want to consider the possibility of a universe where I didn't adore this song.

I bet a lot of people downvoted The National because of the deep voice. I'm surprised to see Deftones and Royal Blood didn't do even better - and my #6 certainly way exceeded my expectations of its performance. Neat! I'm not that surprised that I was the highest ranker for Deluxe. It's kinda interesting that my #3 and #2 went out back to back.

The fact that this song remains fairly topical and can apply to American society 50 years later is so fucking damning.

A band that has a habit of making my soar making my heart soar to the point where it's ready to jump out of my body. An anthem to end all anthems, and one of my ten favorite songs, period. And it still almost wasn't my #1 here, why did I put this list together
Congrats on clearing your bottom tens, singingrulebritannia and BB🌕.

It's pretty crazy to me that you can make the argument that this isn't this band's top song on its album, let alone in their discography. To be honest, I would make that argument, but I've already featured "21st Century Schizoid Man" in a rankdown, so it was really only a matter of time until I got to this beauty.

"Running Up That Hill" may be my favorite Kate Bush song, but I don't think that I've reached the levels of obsession with that song that I had with this one at the peak of my love for it. I may even go as far as say that this is my favorite Kate vocal performance, which is saying a lot.
