I just realized Blueberry Pies only landed at 81 here. Absolutely ridiculous.

At least it's one track we know isn't modestly ranked due to being hopelessly under-heard. :)

Oh, dope! I didn't vote or follow the rollout, but I'm over the moon about "Appetite" winning.

one month passes...

The more I think about it, the more futile ranking PS songs is...my top ten is an ephemeral beast that could contain ten different songs from one day to the next.

...it's telling that a quarter of your top twenty didn't make the top forty in the ILX poll!

I went to sleep with Spotify shuffling 2020 releases and woke to this conspicuously not-so-2020 sampled loop. Freaky.

"life of surprises" is just the greatest goddamn song of all time

"We Let The Stars Go" will fight you for that title.

It's "The Sound of Crying" for me, but we're splitting hairs here

1) this goddamn band.
2) I now have an earworm mashup from Life of Surprises to Forever by Charli.

I went through a period of listening to "Elegance" a lot after this poll. Not sure I'd parsed the lyrics properly beforehand but I was suddenly really digging it as a class warfare anthem. Secretly their best song. Maybe. Sometimes.

Nah. Cue Fanfare is the zenith.

When everyone comes in at the start of “Life of Surprises” is the best
