Folklore is a pretty early PS3 action RPG that I'd recommend.
Also holy s***, I can't believe that game is almost 10 years old already.

This tune brings me back to grade school at about the same time I had my first crush. It was a pretty big hit back then if I recall correctly since I remember hearing it a buttload as a kid also. I don't know if it has aged all that well since I might be charmed by the fact that I found the main riff so mesmerizing but the band's style at the time has certainly expired lol. Gotta love the 80's am I rite? I was a bit hard on the vocals but there isn't much I'm gonna do about that now. The song itself was probably one of the biggest romantic ballads of the 80's and became a pretty popular song for weddings if you can imagine.

5 - Completely average pokemon in every sense of the word
7 - Then they evolved it and gave it a rounder, more sleek design
1.5 - Then they went crazy with one more form that looks completely stupid.

Write-Up:
This is a decent relaxing tune if you are chilling out looking for good vibes although the message of the song might be a downer if you are a person that has had someone they loved leave them recently. I do kind of feel like the song is not as epic as it probably was in the 70's. It was the band's highest rated song in their careers though so I'm sure it's the greatest thing ever heard by at least a few people who are hardcore Player fans... if there are any that is. The song appeared in a few animated shows including King of the Hill, American Dad and The Simpsons. It was even parodied in 2016 by Peter Beckett who sang about the return of Tom Brady from his suspension called "Brady come back". Other than that, I don't know much else about the history of the song or even the band tbh.

Write-Up:
Never heard this song before but I can dig it even though it sounds like an unusual melody for a "Heavy Metal" band but I guess that's why it's classified as Hard Rock instead. The band is actually a Danish band which could have fooled me since I thought danish folks had accents but I guess that just shows how ignorant I am about foreign contries lol. Anyway, the song was written about a famous dancer and countess who isn't even named "Lola Montez" so that doesn't make too much sense to me. I liked the beat here but there isn't a whole lot else I'll even remember after I post this ranking and it isn't a song I have ever heard on the radio around my area either so there is even less chance I'll come across it again I think.

Here is a weird song. Of course Bruno Mars is a guest singer but most of the references to this song that I have dug up are slanted towards it being his work and gives little credit to Travie McCoy who is the lead writer of the tune and the band. I'd be pissed if I had collaborated with someone only to be stuck in their shadow. The song was pretty popular and saw excessive radio replay in 2011 and to be honest I had no idea that it wasn't Bruno Mars's song until I researched it here. This is one of my wife's favorites from the current decade which is funny since she didn't select it for this ranking although she did ask about it if I recall and I told her it was already on the list. I think I grabbed it from a top hits list from the NOW cd's that have flooded the market in the last decade. (Seriously they put out like 4 cd's a year now and it used to be an annual release) Anyway... it's kina meh imo.

Hey, another new genre but it's not like anyone really cares at this point am I rite? I kinda feel like I'm ranking all these songs for very few readers here tbh. Almost 300 songs down and I've generated little to no interest in this topic. Not sure what I'm missing... is it because I don't hang out on Discord? What gives. There used to be tons of folks that liked music on this board or so I thought. Maybe we are still stuck in all the suck ass songs for the most part but with the exception of a few folks who have tagged this topic in the beginning, I have almost no idea who the hell is even following along. Anyway, this song wasn't originally released on any album and was produced specifically for Itunes... that is until it popped up on the european NOW series in late 2016. Lots of songs from this decade are decent but I have discovered that there are very few that I even have the interest in singing along to since that is what I prefer the most in the songs I rate highly. It's got a good beat and really rocks if you crank up your Bass and the blonde chick is kind of attractive I suppose so there are two good things there about this song.

People are interested, but if you ask me, you're flooding us with information at times. Periodic updates of how nominators are doing and genre reports and stuff are interesting, but in a field of over 1000 songs, I'd do those at most every 100 songs.

Plus, we're ages away from getting to the top. So on one hand, you wrote-up 4 songs today, and put a lot of effort into them, I suspect. On the other, doing 4 songs a day will see this project go on for another 8 months if you don't skip any days.

The other factor, as I've experienced when I do ranking topics, is that most people lurk the threads. I've looked at each of your rankings, albeit not read the write-ups for songs I wasn't interested in. I suspect I'm hardly the only one. But if you were hoping for an active discussion, you're not going to get one, sadly.

I appreciate it guys. I'm just hoping that eventually when we get to all the stuff I think is good that others share the same sentiment and share their thoughts.

(I had originally figured that right around 800 is where the good stuff takes over as that is about where I start to like every song that comes up)

We'll see though. I might try to figure out how to crank out more rankings at a better pace but since I am working 7 days a week now (38 days in a row so far which is almost at my record of 46) I find that I spend as much time trying to rest and recharge as possible.

I probably should have used the format I have planned for my 4th Ranks 1,000 topic tbh. I'll be dropping 10 tunes in 1 post in that ranking.

In case you are curious... I'll be ranking close to 2,000 NES chiptunes from around 700+ games or so. :P

Difficulty kinda spiked again in Bahar Hill. Had a very close call at night in a fight with two of those boulder snatchers and one sandy sharkobra thing, then went into a cave and died against two sandy spikydillos, even despite reviving once. For some reason I thought progress wouldn't be lost when it gives you the option to return to your last warp spot but no, that is certainly not the case. Return and save often when traveling through a new area! Lots of exploring to redo now...

Write-Up:
I remember when Imagine Dragons hit the mainstream and it seemed like all of their music was cool but then this song came out and I started to get annoyed by the band. Not exactly why but I think their magic has worn off on me. My wife thinks they are one of the greatest modern bands around but the entire chorus of this song just assaults my eardrums much in the same way that Metalcore irritates me. Maybe that sounds stupid but my point is that I no longer really care for the band and have the opinion that they aren't all that spectacular. It could also be that I've had to hear this song an excruciating amount of times on car rides where I had no control over the radio with the guys I care for. Either way I knew when this song was added to the list that it wouldn't make the top 1,000.

Write-Up:
Back to the 80's again with one of most "80's sounding" tunes there ever was if you know what I mean. God what was up with the fashion statement in the video anyway? It's hard to believe I never noticed as a kid how corny everything was tbh. Anyway, this song ended up being the first of many Top 10 hits for Madonna and she was often praised for her "Dance Pop" style. Time magazine (must have regretably by now) added this to their list of "All Time 100 greatest songs". If that list hasn't been revised yet I'm sure this will drop off of it eventually if they are actually serious about their music lists. Many other bands have covered this song and I can tell you I have not heard a single one... although I may boot up the Counting Crows version at some point just out of curiosity. I have heard this song so much though that I can't really imagine it working any other way so we'll see.

Write-Up:
At first when I heard this I thought it was something that was featured on Saints Row 2 because the backtrack sounds really similar to one of the loading screens in the game but after closer inspection I realized that the song is actually "New York State of Mind". I never listened to Hip Hop in the 90's so as it turned out even though I thought this song sounded familiar, I don't think I've ever heard it from start to finish. I may have come across a sampling or two over the years but I could be wrong so I didn't give it credit in the "Memory" portion of the score. After some further thought though I swear I thought I heard this in a game so I booted up San Andreas which was my next closest guess but that wasn't it even though the theme sounds almost exactly like this except with a few noticeable differences.

Write-Up:
I have no real complaints about the riffing in this song as the beat stays consistently intruiging almost all the way through. The issue I have is that other than one or two of the main riffs, I have easily forgotten the rest. It kinda feels weird to be hearing "new" 80's music that I've never (and probably should have) heard. The name of the album seems really familiar but after a quick search do you know how many Heavy Metal "Number of the Beast" references there are? It's easily possible that I thought it was familiar because of that. My older brother was into this band among many other Heavy Metal bands when I was growing up so I have possibly heard this before but just can't remember that I did. Unfortunately since I am not sure about it, I couldn't give it any extra points there.

Another song that only appeared here as filler tbh. It was on a chart topper list or something. No that's right it was on someone's list of the best Pop songs of the decade I believe. I didn't care too much about what I was selecting when filling the "10's" list near the end there as it was hard enough for me to fill it with such disinterest in the decade but there were a few of these songs pulled from the top region of lists like that. I might be one of a few folks that doesn't find Selena Gomez attractive I think but there is just something about her that immediately turns me off.

Another band that I didn't realize was still making music. I'm a little bit more shocked than the Rolling Stone discovery but less satisfied for some reason. I thought this band stopped making music in the late 90's as well. They probably should have though if this is the best they can come up with tbh. It's nothing memorable that's for sure and Eddie Vedder's voice is sounding off to me here. It could be that i'm tired and kinda interested in hearing music I am more familiar with but I cast this song easily into the sub-thousand pile.

Love the catchy intro and as some of you will eventually find out I am always stoked to hear a good Pop Punk riff but.. the vocals here kinda really pull me away from sinking too deep into the rhythm though. This type of music is usually right up my ally and even though some of it I can be extra critical of, I still appreciate the abundance of harmony that exists in the genre. I really do prefer something a bit more emotional in the end as Pop Punk can be one of the best channels for depression imo. The guitars in this song sound great though. There is a chance this might pop up in a Ranking Regret later on...

Like the 3rd best song from the band imo but nothing in comparison to their greatest work of all time. After knowing what these guys made with the iconic "Africa" tune you kind of expect them to have a much better catalog seriously. If it weren't for "Hold the Line" I'd say these guys were an easy One Hit Wonder but technically we can't call them that can we? I just noticed that we are getting much closer to 5 points on these rankings and this song is a good example demonstrating why as the beats and rhythms begin to really become cohesive with each other in the way that I like. Does that mean I have standards too high or low here considering we haven't hit 1,000 yet? I guess we'll find out but I'm not too worried. Soon enough the rest of the list is gold in my book. =)

And with this ranking the 10's are down to their Top 200 which is the 2nd decade to reach the milestone. I don't exactly hate this song but it really isn't among the stuff I typically listen to. Usher does ok with coming up with decent dance hits but I'm not a clubbin' kinda guy so most of this kind of music is lost on me. This song may be overly redundant if you ask me even though it doesn't exactly annoy like true redundancy so that might be a positive here I suppose. 2010 was a weird year for me also since it was a year where I really didn't get into much music if at all. Even though I graded the beat, hook and vocals poorly I couldn't depress the stickiness score in the same way.

Write-Up:
An oldie but goodie as they say. Definitely a hippie's anthem of sorts imo. I actually just heard this on the radio yesterday which is kind of funny because I didn't realize that I'd be ranking it today. It's most definitely a favorite among Steely Dan fans and is one of the band's more notable songs from their careers. Why is it so low then? Welp... it is from the 70's and as I think I stated somewhere before, I have a very specific interest from the decade that overrides my opinion of everything else. The 70's were a time when most music actually had meaning as many songs were about breaking from the norms of society and dealt with real world struggles... I mean within reason I suppose as I got a buddy that'll tell me that in the 70's music was mostly about sex, drugs and fighting the power! Whatever that truly means from his perspective since he was born in the early 90's lol. I saw it as a time when music was more authentic since most musicians really had to become one with their instruments and they did. Some of the greatest guitar solos ever come from the 70's imo for example.

RANKING RE-REVIEW #4

Howdy folks.

On the the fourth Ranking Regret we have...

A song that I have not been able to get out of my head at least 3 or 4 times a week since I dropped the ranking. Sia wasn't anyone that I even remotely thought I'd take an interest in before starting this ranking but I read up a bit on her mysterious career and her music has somehow become more interesting. This is an artist that has literally gone through some changes as she looks nothing like she did in this video. I know usually a performance artist will go through many stages as they find their true selves but in some cases the music they create really is a part of their metamorphosis. The melancholy and harmony in this song is near perfection imo as it definitely can invoke deep seeded emotions when a person's mind is weakened from the stress of life. And who doesn't like a good sad song from time to time? Anyway, the piano play is almost trance inducing for me as I love this sort of thing normally. The Piano was the first instrument I ever learned how to play to channel my musical inclinations.

Another band that I didn't realize was still making music. I'm a little bit more shocked than the Rolling Stone discovery but less satisfied for some reason. I thought this band stopped making music in the late 90's as well. They probably should have though if this is the best they can come up with tbh. It's nothing memorable that's for sure and Eddie Vedder's voice is sounding off to me here. It could be that i'm tired and kinda interested in hearing music I am more familiar with but I cast this song easily into the sub-thousand pile.

Pearl Jam has been living off the success of their first three albums for ages now. They're doing just enough to continue stoking the fires. I kinda wonder if this is what would have happened to Nirvana if Kurt was still around.

If I watch the video to this song I seem to like it less because I can't get over the weird mouth movements this chic makes when singing lol. I didn't dock any points for that since that would be silly but I felt like pointing it out anyway. So I'm not so sure what the song is about but the video clearly tells a story of some single girl that is stuck in a redundant cycle of trainwrecking her life. I mean.. yeah it does sound like that is what the song is about lyrically too but what I'm not sure about is if she's blaming someone else or bragging that she loves single life or something. What makes even less sense is she seems to be trying to forget 1 person by fornicating with everyone? Or is she saying she has to be a s*** because she isn't in a serious relationship? I dunno it's beyond me I guess. Anyway, the song is ok.

At around 3:08 into the song is the main reason I have almost fit this into the Top 1,000. I couldn't quite get it that far though because the whole song as a package doesn't quite entertain me completely. I do think that the song has potential to make it even higher on the list if it were to get a revisit since the most points it lost this time around were due to unfamiliarity. I'd easily let this play on the radio if it came up though since it makes decent back ground noise anyway. Going back to the main riff that I liked here though, doesn't it almost sound like something from Castlevania? I think it does.

I remember when this song came out as Cher was making a big comeback in the late 90's and fans rejoiced but what happened exactly? I don't think I've heard much from her since then so I guess I really can't call it much of a comeback personally. Anyway, at least she doesn't sound as manly as she does these days. I remember thinking if she actually was singing the synth/bend at the end of her chorus and almost believed it until I later found out that of course it wasn't a talent of hers. I wonder how that works at a live show? (Never seen one where vocal equipment was needed) But I wonder if she just sings the song normal and no one notices or if she can manipulate her voice with the microphone or something. Why do I care? I don't, I'm just rambling at this point lol. Nothing much to say here honestly.

Damn has it already been 5 days since my last ranking?

(The last rankings were dropped on my B-day)

I'll try to get a few up today but I'll get a better chance to post a good chunk tomorrow night and Saturday. (Maybe even push us to the Top 1,000!)

Wouldn't that be nice? :P

Ok folks. I went ahead and prepped a bunch of rankings (up to 999th to be exact).

I will start dropping them maybe sometime this afternoon but definitely by 11:00pm tonight.

Once I do I won't stop until we hit the Top 1,000!

Thank You all for your patience.

Write-Up:
Ooh um I dunno about those vocals. There is so much inconsistency in this tune that I'm not even sure what I'm listening to. I get that Progressive anything is multiple segments or riffs strung together but at the very least you would want everything to flow together cohesively. Here it sounds like a jumbled mess for the most part. There is a story here though but you get that with most Opera-esque music. I'm not 100% certain what it is about but it sounds like it's about death or the sort. Never heard of the band before but there seems to be an underground following for them. I feel like that is usually the case for these more gothic-like bands but that could just be a stereotypical assumption I guess. Anyway, nothing fantastic or memorable for me to enjoy here.

I'm gonna catch holy hell from a few readers/viewers here. But um... yeah, this didn't make it into the Top 1,000. I'll give you a minute to get the frustration out... all set? lol. Anyway, yeah. Maybe it's because I've heard this song so friggin much that it fails to impress anymore. Notice that I did include all 3 parts in this ranking. Pink Floyd is awesome and I'll never disagree but this song just doesn't move me as much as it used to. It is a classic for sure but it's more of a story driven riff than something meant to jam out to imo although the guitar solo is pretty boss. As you would expect though it scores the most points possible in the Top 100 category. People love this tune all over the world and it scored at the top of multiple lists over the years. It has also appeared in many other forms of pop culture including tv, movies and even plays. The Wall was among the many cassettes I owned growing up as well and in fact I may have had multiples of it too.

What??? How did this get higher than a popular Pink Floyd song?!?!? lol. I dunno, it did though. Here is a tune that comes straight from my wife's nomination list. She really did choose mostly 2010's for this ranking. She didn't have to follow the 3 per decade limit btw since she didn't want to be on the nominator list. I agreed to let her fill in wherever I needed nominations though so she did. There are far better Katy Perry songs though imo. This one just doesn't excite me as much because it's more pop and less catchy than I like but it still has an ok beat. Does anyone here think Katy Perry is attractive? I do sometimes but a lot of the time I don't get the hype tbh. You can tell she puts a lot of effort into her videos though which is great fanservice I'm sure.

Oh geesh. I'm gonna be honest with you all again here. I was never a big fan when Santana had his most major popularity spree in the late 90's. I love that he can absolutely rock the guitar but I found most of his collaborations to be less than thrilling. I do like some of his original work but none of that made it into the ranking so I guess it doesn't say that much. I wonder what Santana felt like having to play next to Whitey Ford considering the two play at dramatically different speeds on a regular basis. Ford's tunes are usually simplistic in chord progression while Santana's fingers dance all over the fret board. They did it though and the result is ok. That's all I'll give it for credit here.

I wonder what ever happened to this guy. This is literally the only song I've ever known this dude to be known for. I couldn't tell you if he did anything else tbh although I assume that since he has this on an album there is more right. It does give us a new genre though and to my memory it might be the only song in this ranking from said genre so it'll be on the update for awhile at least. I remember seeing this pop up on MTV for the first time back when I think Carson Daly was a VJ. Woah yeah, remember them? I kinda miss the good ol' days.

Who doesn't like a good Oasis tune. Dare I say it though... I don't think there has ever been a more "beatles wannabe" band in the world has there? Maybe it's just their style I dunno. They often make very melodic and harmonious music though and I can't wait till we get to my favorites from the band as I did include a couple of them. What's the Story Morning Glory was among the first few albums I got from BMG music years ago. Remember when you could get a dozen cd's for only a penny each? I do. Funny how that service didn't last for long. Maybe you still can get cd's like that but who does anymore am I rite? Anyway, this tune might seem more mediocre compared to the band's top hits.

I'm really kind of surprised that I didn't try to bump this higher since it is one of my favorite tunes from the band tbh. It is something I can sing to just not one I'm willing to sing in front of anyone else. It's kind of a sad song and melancholy inducing but the vocals are slightly rough even though that's standard for the lead singer here. I was gonna say this was our first Post Grunge tune but I see we already got one from the Foo Fighters earlier. Still I notice again though because it's one of my top genres I think (I guess we will find out by the end of this). The 2000's may have been the biggest year for Post Grunge as well imo.
