RED PRESENTS BANGERANG
This was another idea that floated around in my head for a while, but I wasn't sure if I would have enough songs to get around to running with this idea, because I kept using other songs that would have fit in other rankdowns (completed or prospective). When I was finally able to get to 40 here, it was almost a relief, in a way. As far as this rankdown is concerned, the theme and all of that is fairly simple: These 40 songs being included here are 40 songs that, over the course of the last couple of years, were my favorite and/or most listened to song of its week. And they also bang in one way or another, hence the name of the rankdown itself.
Some quick-hit rules: Rank your favorite songs from 1 to 40, with 1 being your favorite and 40 your least-favorite. Send your rankings to me (that's Red , waiting to suddenly revert to old host form and forget about the rankdown that I'm hosting) via PM, numbers or no numbers. The deadline, as of right now, is Saturday, September 23rd at 8pm US Eastern. As always, that deadline is subject to change, but I've been doing well at keeping rankdowns at least somewhat close to the deadline recently, so try to submit before the deadline. I will also, yet again, be using a gates tag list as a template for this first post and all other tag posts. If you wish to be added to the tag list, let me know either here or elsewhere as soon as you can.
Let the banging commence.

I'm definitely doing this in September. I have heard several of these songs such as Oh The Sunn!, Junior Kickstart, Assassin, The Groove Line, Spinning World, and the Willy Wonka song.

So, I didn't realize until just now that the date of the deadline that I originally went for is not really possible. I mean, literally, the closest Saturday date to the 26th is the 23rd. Whew, work is doing mean things to my brain right now. Point is, the deadline is now accurate, which means... THREE WEEKS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

Whoops, I completely forgot to do a tag for this. Given that we only have one submission so far for a RD I expect to have *at least* double digit submissions, maybe I should be doing a few more reminders before then. (under) TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

I have listened to the songs and I will be making a list in the next couple of days. I will submit before Saturday especially since I changed the Summertime Madness deadline to the same day.

Well, I completely forgot to do a reminder last night. I will be accepting submissions into tomorrow morning or maybe even early tomorrow afternoon, which I probably would have done, anyway, but especially now with the lack of a reminder last night. 12 HOURS UNTIL THE (KINDA) DEADLINE.

This playlist is so stacked, I'd rate all songs except for my bottom two a 3.5/5 or higher on RYM. I also have a feeling that a couple of my highest ranks may be revealed early and or I'll have a lower closeness than I did in previous rankdowns.

The particular week that this was my most-listened to song, this was a song of pure catharsis for me at a time when I really needed it. Nowadays, I just listen to it because it's a good fucking song.

A song that sounds like it could have been ripped straight from the 80's, made by a modern day J-Pop girl group, first released in 2020, only just now getting a single push in 2023. A tale as old as time?
Sorry, emerald.

Every Queens of the Stone Age album has at least one song that is just fantastic. This latest Queens album is decidedly better than the last one, and even with that, this long finale stuck out for me on first listen and every listen after that.

There's a lot that if you want, you gotta figure out on your own.
The way that one line in one song can just describe your life perfectly sometimes...

My current song of the year, a nine minute towering achievement that both feels like a reverent tribute to thrash and a natural progression of their first attempt of thrash metal on Infest the Rats' Nest. It also has music that I really, really, really, really like. There's a half dozen or so moments here that would easily be in competition for the distinction of being my favorite song moment of 2023, though two particularly stick out to me: 6:34 and especially the brief stop and start flurry at 9:07, which never fails to wow me every single time I listen to it.
Yeah, uh, this is my #1, and it's going out in the bottom five. This is a sign of things to come for me, by the way.
