I wasn't confident on where to rank Prelude/Rooftop given the lack of similar songs in this rankdown (aside from the one I ranked last) and I haven't seen the movie.

The song that introduced me to Caroline Polachek. Without this, it's possible that I wouldn't have been intrigued enough to check out "Door", and that would have been a tragedy.
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, wheatsquares33.

wacky ranking for the vertigo score
I continue to like caroline’s solo music more than chairlift (I’m listening to it right now actually lol)

A very good song named Romeo and there's another Romeo I want to see in a rankdown.

Back to back video game discoveries close this set. I first listened to "Romeo" via the NBA 2K17 soundtrack, while this is the song I now associate most with one of my personal favorite soundtracks, MVP Baseball 2004.
The guitar and bass tone on this song just gives me so much life.

I don't get why Smoke Gets in Your Eyes made it to the top 20 here compared to where The Beach Boys placed in The All-Timers, Part II.

I enjoy this more than a LOT of country music I've heard playing in public places. As a Tractor, I can confirm that we don’t claim a vast majority of such songs.
Reba was an easy #1 for me, lol. First off, it’s Reba. Second off, this song is one of her greatest hits, and has not gotten stale to this day. Zero burn rate. I can’t say I’m surprised to see her give a mid performance in a rankdown such as this, though. Count me in for an orchestral/classical rankdown. That’s such a great idea for an RD.

gotta love starting the day with 3 straight boosts of +9, +6 & +8
at least we got to clearing my bottom 10 later in the set, though my #40 is still in
kind of amazed I still have 9 top 10s, but only 2 ranks from 11-20

Love the Camper Van Beethoven version, but the original remains the best version of this great song.

Rolling Stone was a great discovery for me that I didn't see coming. I'd also like to hear more old psychedelic songs similar to Pictures of Matchstick Men.

There were basically two songs left from this album that I really wanted to put into a rankdown at some point. We may or may not see the other one in due time (that's not a spoiler, I genuinely don't know if I'll be including it), but this was an inevitability. On an album full of incredible moments, the last minute of this song might just be the peak of the whole shebang.
Hey, at least this time, I didn't lose my ATDI #1 bottom five, right?

I would have guessed this At the Drive-In song would be your #1 because of the reveal post in your Through the Years rd.

There are two simply untouchable drum performances on this list. Keith Moon's live performance of "Young Man Blues" is one of them. The other is Mitch Mitchell putting in a performance for the ages, outshining even the greatest guitarist to ever live.

The more and more I listen to this, the more I'm beginning to wonder if this might actually be my favorite Sophie Ellis-Bextor song. I can't see myself ever liking it more than "Murder on the Dancefloor"...but who knows?
