Catching up on the next 20 songs here.
80. Annie Lennox - Walking On Broken Glass (65): Hmm wow I'm really surprised to see this song have the 2nd highest SD. I can see it being polarizing I guess but not that polarizing, wowzers. This is a nice and good song from Annie but not one of my favorites from her. Not mad at this ranking for it.
79. Juvenile/Lil Wayne/Mannie Fresh - Back That Azz Up (28): Meanwhile I thought that this would have had a much higher SD. Ughh sad and disappointed to see this song show up this soon but also not surprised. I love this. It's such a fun, infectious jam and just one of those songs I can't get out of my head whenever I hear it. So good and so fun! LOL Like dollybaby said, this is a straight up hood classic for sure!
78. Le Tigre - Deceptacon (88): Didn't know this song beforehand but didn't care much for it while listening to it. Fine with this showing up now.
77. Liz Phair - Fuck and Run (70): This was another new song to me but I didn't mind and liked this one. Fine with this ranking for it as well.
76. The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds (83): Didn't know this one but another song I didn't care that much for but it's alright.
75. Mariah Carey - Always Be My Baby (15): Well danggg, I am shocked and was not expecting this song to show up this soon. :o Wow I feel like this rankdown is full of big surprises and shocks. Also surprised to see no Top 10s for this. Ugh sad to see this song show up already. This is such a classic and standout song from Mariah. A big favorite of mine though I have some other songs I love even more from her. Glad "Fantasy" ranked higher but this still got robbed.
74. Missy Elliott - The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) (31): Aww a little sad but not as sad to see this song showing up as well. This was the song that introduced me to Missy. Such a jam and classic! She slays and crushes it on this and yeah I just love the vibe of this song.
73. Ginuwine - Pony (27): Ahh dangg, not a 3rd song in a row that I love showing up, ugh. :( This is another great and fun jam, and this one introduced me to Ginuwine. It's a classic. Love how Ginuwine sings the song and how hard that beat goes here.
72. Erykah Badu - On & On (38): I don't love this as much as the last 3 songs, but I still really like this a lot and it's still a classic. This is just so smooth, soulful and easy to listen to. It's a definite vibe.
71. Erykah Badu - Tyrone (42): Ahh wow at both of Erykah Badu's songs showing up back to back. This is another smooth song. I love the sass and attitude that she brings out here. Another one of my favorites from her.
Ooof my rankdown closeness is a score of 28.433 - with a 22nd out of 30 ranking. Not too great there but not unexpected, I guess. Aww dang at no perfect rankings... and dang my #100 is still in it, omg. At least 8 others are in the same boat as me, lmao. Ouch at 5 Bottom 10s still remaining.
70. Beck - Loser (47): I like this and this is a really fun song. The chorus is fun and catchy in particular. This usually stands out as my favorite Beck song when in general, I'm not that big of a fan of his.
69. Sonic Youth - Kool Thing (86): LOL okay finally a song I didn't know or care for finally shows up, haha. I've lost way too many favorite songs I love or really like, so I got no issues with this showing up.
68. Queen Latifah - U.N.I.T.Y. (25): Lol danggg I just knew my luck would be short lived and now another song I love goes out. Just my luck. Ugh sad about this. This is such a good and iconic song from Latifah. She goes so hard on this and raps some serious and real stuff in those verses. This is just so goood and my favorite song of hers. An instant classic.
67. Aphex Twin - Windowlicker (74): I didn't know this song coming in but I did like this and it was one of the better newer songs to me. Not mad at this ranking for it either.
66. Pavement - Gold Soundz (91): Oooh nice yayy finally lost one of my Bottom 10 ranks, even though it's my highest one, lmao. Didn't know this song beforehand but not really a fan of it either.
65. Brandy & Monica - The Boy Is Mine (2): Ughh noooo, what the heckkk? My second Top 10 loss is this iconic classic? What is going on? This is such a classic from Brandy & Monica. Love their vocals and chemistry and they both really slay this song so hard. One of my favorite songs from the 90s and one of my all-time favorites! Sooo robbed.
64. Destiny's Child - Say My Name (6): Danggg not another Top 10 song of mine going out this soon and we're not even in the Top 60, ughh. Jeez these reveals are no joke and so tough on me. Anyway, this is another song that's an instant and iconic classic to me. Lovee this song so much and it's my favorite song from Destiny's Child. Again, another song that deserved so much better!
63. Digable Planets - Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat) (45): I really like this. This is so slick, smooth and I like the production and vocals on this. Overall, it's just really cool and smooth. I normally would have been more upset with this showing up but with losing 2 songs in my Top 10, I'm moreso okay about this showing up now.
62. Orbital - Halcyon & On and On (73): This was another enjoyable song I didn't know but did kinda like on here. Not a favorite of mine but it's fine.
61. The Breeders - Cannonball (81): Another song I didn't really know but it's alright. Didn't do or stand out much to me. But fine with this showing up.
Gahh that was a tough set of reveals to see. Hopefully I can do better with the next set of songs I check out, lol.
80. Annie Lennox - Walking On Broken Glass (65): Hmm wow I'm really surprised to see this song have the 2nd highest SD. I can see it being polarizing I guess but not that polarizing, wowzers.
