I have overlooked Squarepusher in the past and it wasn't until 2021 that I listened to him and various other electronic artists (many of them from the UK). I wouldn't consider this to be my top favorite on Feed Me Weird Things (that would be "Theme From Ernest Borgnine") but it's definitely a classic Drill and Bass track.

I was interested in vaporwave music during the 2010s and reading about its most prominent artists led me to George Clanton's music. This track was on my psychedelic playlist and was removed when making the psychedelic rankdown playlist (yes again that rankdown I co-hosted with aero). Man, I really dig the sunny psychedelia vibes on this.

The top 2 Games - Strawberry Skies vs LTJ Bukem - Demons Theme These songs are separated by only 2 points and were tied in the 11th movement. Both have multiple 1 ranks and neither received a bottom 10 rank. Two users ranked these songs as their top 2 and two users ranked both outside of their top 10. 4th lowest SD vs 5th lowest SD

This is another song I remember listening to on my iPod during a summer vacation in 2011. I had forgotten the artist name and song name over the years until I rediscovered it thanks to Spotify's recommendations. Around the same time, I was looking into Ford and Lopatin and Oneohtrix Point Never and soon realized they were also this artist. Not one of my highest ranks, but still a really cool song to finish in the top 2. I haven't been saying this when revealing previous songs with #1s but... my condolences singingrulebritannia , wheatsquares33 , and American Idiot
#2
Strawberry Skies Games (aka Ford & Lopatin)
Year of Release: 2010

Also thanks to Spotify's recommendations, I looked into LTJ Bukem's catalogue and other artists from his label Good Looking Records. I have added many songs of this atmospheric drum and bass style to my playlists since 2021, and for this rd, it felt necessary to include "Demons Theme" to represent DnB of the early 90s. This is an absolute classic that has only gotten better on repeated listens. Congratulations to recordyear and BB🌕 for your #1 winning.

I want to again thank everyone who submitted a list for my first personal rankdown. It was a personal challenge for me to stick to a schedule, manage all the statistics, and reveal everything on time but I also had a lot of fun doing this. I am unsure of when I will be hosting another personal rd, but there is something else that I will be hosting along with aerodynamite starting tomorrow: 2023 Summertime Madness!
Here are some final stats:

I Love to Move In Here feels like a song that won't age well with subsequent listens, but the first two experience while listening to the playlist is great. The vocal chops in Apollo Throwdown (Star Slinger Remix) sound like hiccup to me, which is very annoying to listen to. Going mostly blind in this (in terms of artists) and my favorite discovery actually won the rankdown? Excellent. Also that futuristic album cover looks really cool. Interesting experience for rankdown listening. Thanks zippy for hosting.

As much as I would have liked to see the masterpiece that is "Strawberry Skies" win, it's very cool that, since it didn't, an artist with not a huge amount of crossover appeal was able to win
