I was always going to rank whatever At the Drive-In song I could have chosen for this list at #1, but this was comfortably locked in as my second-favorite song from the moment I started seriously putting together this list of songs.
Along with Portishead, this was the song that effectively introduced me to trip hop, and it has stuck with me ever since.
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, samo🦕.

Natalia Lafourcade is in Wintertime Madness so I might be willing to rank her higher next time.
Edit: damn, Thom Yorke didn’t make the top two again

There was a brief moment where it looked like this song wouldn't achieve its top ten destiny. The key word there is "brief".

I thought including "4:00 AM" was a little too obvious, so I wanted to include something from Taeko Ohnuki's (it's Ohnuki or Onuki, and I think it's the former...I've never been able to get the spelling exactly right lol) other most beloved project, and this felt like the most obvious pick from Sunshower.

#5 PREVIEW
Stats Top Tens: 4 Top Half Rankings: 13 Highest Point: #2
There was a point where this song moved up to #2, got crushed back down to earth immediately, only to return to #2 a few movements later. And then, it just kind of stopped making big moves and settled in around this spot.

A bigger point gap is coming: Nearly 30 points separate this song from "Holy Ghost". The gap between this song and the next two songs is much smaller.

Also another artist I do need to get more into since I've only heard songs from her for various other Pulse games.

Oh good grief. 42 is the lowest rank I’ve given to any song that made the top two in a rankdown, and it’s a song that I wanted to rank higher but I just wasn’t enjoying it as much as most of the songs in this rankdown.

I kept waiting for a tank to happen...and waiting...and waiting...and it just never came. While a song or two came relatively close to topping this for a little bit, eventually, this song just ran away with the crown.
My thoughts when listening to this song for the first time:
Danny Brown's verse: "I'm shocked that this Danny Brown verse is great. This is my shocked face." Ab-Soul's verse: "Nice. Not quite as great as Danny's verse, but that's pretty hard to accomplish." Kendrick Lamar's verse: "Jesus christ, he just murdered this song. I can't see how anyone can follow this--" Earl Sweatshirt's verse:
Congrats on your favorite song winning, willapted33 and MoD!

Alright, that is that! I'd like to thank everyone for submtting, posting, following along, and doing whatever else they could to help make this rankdown another successfully completed rankdown, as always! Even with my struggles with being able to juggle my personal life and games like these, I still enjoy hosting these for all of you, as well as, hopefully, giving you some discoveries to add to your playlists.
The next rankdown that I'm going to host isn't too far away, though it's going to be a little while before I host my next personal rankdown. I've been throwing around a few ideas, but I think we're going to roll with a fun little idea for my next personal. The basic gist of the idea is this: What would happen if I put together a rankdown full of some of my favorite discoveries from other rankdowns and games over the years?
We'll find out soon enough, as we make plans to travel to our next destination...COMING SOON DISCOVERYLAND

I really didn’t “get” Danny Brown before this year, but I’ve grown to love Atrocity Exhibition, I’m happy with this winning

My interest in alternative R&B and art pop music has been increasing this year. I do like “Two Weeks” but there’s something about its production that holds it back from me loving it.
On the other hand, “Really Doe” is a deserving winner with memorable production and great rapping. I had the most stress trying to rank the hip-hop tracks in this rankdown so if I made any changes I would have ranked this song a few spots higher.

I’m shocked this was the top 2 tbh! For some reason I was expecting different. So happy though as Really Doe and Two Weeks are some really amazing songs from the 2010s.
Thanks for hosting Red!
