Plantasia is probably the most wholesome album ever made

It’s fitting for my #1 song to share its name with the American football team based in my area.

One of the first hardcore hip hop tracks I can remember hearing, and still one of the best ever

Out of the old school hip-hop tracks in this rankdown, I prefer the less hardcore sounding ones. Still all great choices.

"Strange Fruit" is like a top 25 all-time for me so I would have preferred it winning, but "Breakadawn" was on my shortlist for MC Showcase and it's great to see De La Soul win in their first rankdown after becoming playable on Spotify

THE STATS ARE CLOSED FOR REPAIRS
And that is another rankdown done and dusted! I'd like to thank all of you who submitted, posted, followed along, and just in general helped to get me through yet another completed rankdown. I hope that everyone had a good time and got some good discoveries out of this latest personal of mine.
Unlike last time, where I wasn't sure what rankdown I wanted to host next, I know exactly what I want to follow this rankdown up with. It was an idea that I hinted at when The All-Timers 2 finished. Specifically, it's the idea I hinted at where I said "There's one that will have to wait until at least the rankdown after the next one, because I don't have enough songs for it yet (though I will shortly)." In simple terms, what would happen when I pit forty songs against one another that share the common theme that they were, at one point, my most liked and/or listened to song of the week for one week in recent times?
Oh, and I guess another common theme is that they all bang.
COMING SOON BANGERANG

My ranking for Strange Fruit is somewhat arbitrary since I had it initially ranked lower but then I thought about its historical significance and Billie's vocal performance. I did expect this song to come close to winning.
Pleased to see De La Soul to win this. Now I'm trying to remember if I've heard this song on Rock the Bells Radio in previous years. Ah one two ah one two

Internally screaming at me costing Strange Fruit the win. This RD had over half the songs in my Top 10 at one point.
Excellent RD Senor

wow this top 10 was a lot of fun to follow, completely unexpected songs made it far, like Mort Garson top 5? holy shit
Ante Up is probably one of the best bangers ever made
I always love Portishead’s music, I just don’t praise them as highly as some do.
Breakadawn was a song I didn’t like that much on first listen and meant to put it around #27 on my list, but ended up getting a big boost towards the end. can’t complain about it winning.
Thanks for another fun rankdown Red!
