Hello everyone! Welcome to the 2010 adult alternative rankdown. Join wheatsquares, in their new journey as a Canadian rankdown host by listening to some of the "songs of all-time" and ranking them in a numbered list!
I'm sure most here know the ropes, but just to reiterate for any newcomers (adapted from razorshark 's 2011 RD post).
1) Rank ALL songs from #1-100 and PM to me, wheatsquares33 (don't post your list publicly).
2) I will use an inverse point system (100 points for your #1 pick, 99 for #2,...,1 point for #100) when calculating scores.
3) Please have your lists submitted by Tuesday December 6. I think that should be enough time for everyone. I made the deadline kinda far out so the inevitable extension is already built in, but if you do need more time, please let me know.
4) When submitting your list, please just copy & paste from here directly (I will have an unnumbered list below) without making any changes to formatting, this will make things a lot easier on my end. Oh, and please paste in the BBCode section of the message body when submitting, as this eliminates the extra spaces between lines.
5) Edits are allowed, but try not to do so in excess. Edits will not be accepted after the deadline.

Playlist:
Couple of notes on songs:
- Nobody is originally from 1971, but was re-recorded for the Doobies' 2010 album World Gone Crazy. We will be ranking the 2010 version here.
- We're ranking the live version of Jack Johnson's Better Together, from his 2009 live album En Concert. It looks like this is on Spotify, but it's packaged with the song Angel at the front, so I didn't include on the playlist. For the live version of Better Together by itself, please see below.
- There are TWO versions of Hey World by Michael Franti for some reason. I've tried to research which is the one that charted, and I figure that the one with more streams & the music video (the "Don't Give Up version" is correct), so that is what we will be ranking.
- Killer Life is from a re-issue of Tuesday Night Music Club from 2009--Spotify says the song is from 1993, but this is correct.
