Aero's Dynamite Alt/Rock Rankdown
I've been looking forward to hosting my next personal rd for a while, and with personal rd season in full swing now, this seems as good a time as any. This is one of several different themes, mostly relating to a particular genre or mood, I've thought about using. The selection here is essentially what it says on the tin, featuring an assortment of rock and alternative songs I really enjoy.
The 40 songs:
Autolux - Turnstile Blues Blancmange - Feel Me Buzzcocks - Everybody's Happy Nowadays The Cars - Bye Bye Love Cat Power - Cross Bones Style Courtney Barnett - Elevator Operator Cranes - Jewel Dismemberment Plan - A Life of Possibilities Elbow - Any Day Now Far Caspian - Attempt Fontaines DC - Boys in the Better Land Grandaddy - AM 180 Holy Fuck - Red Lights Hot Chip - Over And Over IDLES - Well Done INABAKUMORI - Loneliness of Spring The Killers - On Top LCD Soundsystem - Get Innocuous! Lightning Bolt - 2 Morro Morro Land The Long Blondes - Giddy Stratospheres Mclusky - To Hell With Good Intentions Melt-Banana - Shield for Your Eyes, A Beast in the Well on Your Hand Midnight Juggernauts - Into the Galaxy Modest Mouse - Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes Mogwai - Hunted by a Freak The Music - Take The Long Road And Walk It Niños Del Cerro - Tentempié Pale Blue Eyes - TV Flicker Ratatat - Lex RAY - 17 REM - Finest Worksong Sleater-Kinney - Dig Me Out Sonic Youth - Eric's Trip Soundgarden - Limo Wreck Stereolab - French Disko Team Sleep - Ataraxia Television - Venus Tricky - Black Steel Wu-Lu - Times Yves Tumor - Secrecy Is Incredibly Important To The Both of Them

#1-2: 5/5 #3-5: 4.5/5 #6-40: 0.5/5
Verdict: every song in this selection that's not already on one of my personal playlists or hasn't been a candidate for them is a steaming pile of garbage!
It's not going to be easy for me to rank these songs as my tastes in alternative/rock music need some fine-tuning. After hearing every song on here, there isn't one that I dislike. While a few of these are songs that I already know, one of the songs that I haven't heard before could end up as my #1 pick.

I'm about to turn in my list, but this was super fun to listen to and rank. So many artists on this list that I really need to dig more into their discographies.

I really don’t know how these results are going to play out. I’m not even sure if the winning song is in my top 10.
I will predict one thing. Between the two songs that are part of my “>10 Million Club” playlists which are “Lex” and “Get Innocuous!”, I expect the latter to place higher.

I was definitely familiar with Take the Long Road & Walk It before this rankdown, but I didn't realize how much it slapped until relistening to it here. Sucks that went out first, one of my favorite (re-)discoveries of this rankdown. Feel Me was a cool Blancmange song too
