So, how to introduce this... well, I've done a couple of mini-rankdowns on the Discord server now. And I've been wanting to do a proper rankdown for a little while but, since I'm relatively new here, I wasn't sure as to what would be an appropriate time to properly open one. However, now that I've established some sort of credibility (?), I think it's as good a time as any to debut my first rankdown on the forums proper.
The theme for this one is pretty simple. These are 30 of my favorite songs from across six decades, starting with the 1960s. I've included five songs from each decade. For this list, I have forgone the 2020s, since I already did a mini-rankdown based on my favorite songs from this current decade, and I can't find five more all-time favorites from the time period. (Do I need to relax my standards? Probably). So, we have here five all-time favorites of mine from the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, 2000s, and 2010s.
Note that these aren't necessarily my absolute favorite songs from each decade. In assembling this list, I made an effort to exclude artist repeats and to include songs from different genres within each decade. And I had to cut more than a few of my own favorite songs from this list, which pissed me the hell off. So, in other words, this is to act as a sample of five different all-time favorites from each decade rather than a set-in-stone canon.
Also, I've tried to include a balance of relatively obscure picks and well-known classics. And I have a pretty educated guess as to how it'll all play out... but hell, maybe it'll be proven wrong.
Now, onto the only part that you probably care about...
Song List:
Spotify playlist:
The original version of "Swamp Thing" is a YouTube exclusive, unfortunately.
You almost certainly know the rules. But on the off-chance that you are new to this or otherwise need a refresher: rank these songs 1-30 and send me a direct message with your ranking. It would be easiest to copy and paste each song as it is listed above. Line numbers aren't necessary, but it would be nice. Use this handy tool - www.browserling.com/tools/number-lines/ - to generate number lines with ease.
I don't want to overestimate how eclectic my taste really is... so I'll just include the general, rock, and hip hop tag lists for this.
I would say that "Part I implies the existence of a Part II"... but the phrase "implies the existence" was beaten into the ground by annoying people a long time ago
