The famous live version of "Long Season" from 98.12.28 is actually my second-favorite song of all time. But I didn't want to include a 41-minute song here. In its place is the incredibly calming and pleasant "Night Cruising." Listening to this always helps me convince myself that life is pretty good, despite whatever first-world problems I might have run into earlier that day.

Night Cruising is such a gratifying listen, the instrumental combined with the simple lyrics can almost put me in a trance while I’m listening. I’ve only listened to Long Season (Live) a few times but that’s a magnificent song as well. with all that being said I can’t be too upset about losing my 1 at 11 given the strength of the songs remaining.

I'm glad I was able to find a somewhat-recent mainstream hit for this list without taking the coward's route of putting Kendrick or Gorillaz on here and saying, "See? I'm not an anti-pop snob!" Not only is this song incredibly nostalgic, but of all the pop songs that inspire fond childhood memories, this is the one that I think I'd enjoy the most if I just discovered it yesterday. Equal parts ethereal and catchy, with Timbaland's best production ever IMO.

This is the only song left that would have been mildly underwhelming as a winner, since it's the most popular track in the list so it would have been the most predictable option. Still a major favorite for me, though.

The late '60s produced a ton of classic psychedelic music, and The Millennium's Begin is among the best and most underrated of that crop. This song in particular blew my mind the first time I heard it. Layered, dreamlike, dynamic, and undoubtedly one of the most ambitious rock songs of its time.

As a high school freshman, I thought this and Dio's "Holy Diver" were the greatest things in the world.
One of the very few things I was right about back then.

Points-wise, this song tied with #8. But I used the fact that this has a #1 rank as a tiebreaker.

Daft Punk's Alive 2007 is definitely one of my "desert island" albums. I'd put it on to help me concentrate and get inspired as I figured out how to find food and shelter.

Both the guitar and vocal performances on this song go harder than 99.9% of every song that came after. I hear this pretty often on classic rock radio (because I'm the only person under 62 who still listens to that format), but I never get tired of it.

No, I don't give a shit that some neoreactionary morons used this song in videos about how we used to have the Roman Empire and now we have seed oils. I loved this song from the moment I heard it in late 2017. Amazing synth line, great vocal delivery that really does the despairing tone of the lyrics justice (if nothing else, I can see why it was so resonant with people). This song was a big part of why the album of the same name became one of the records that defined 2018 for me.

Possibly my favorite Björk song (there's plenty of competition, though), or at least the one that stood out to me the most when I first went through her discography. That chorus is absolutely sublime. I should have ranked this higher for TOTC's RYM All-Time Rankdown... but then again, that list was even tougher to rank than my own!

In general, The Chameleons' 1980s run was consistently stellar. "Swamp Thing" in particular is one of my favorite post-punk songs, alongside The Cure's "Disintegration." Everything about this is is near-perfect - peak post-punk guitar riffs, excellent drumming, impassioned vocals, and a really great build-up.

This song is the standard against which I judge all disco/dance-pop songs. When it comes to those genres, I've always preferred the songs that have an undercurrent of poignancy and/or urgency to them.
