I Am Still Unhinged

Keepsake at #70!!!!!!!!!

 

Say I won’t and Senor in the late 60s!? I think I’m done talking to Matt for a bit.

 

Senor I don't remember much and I'm class so I can't play it. I won't apologize for Keepsake though. It is not good.

 

I'll bite. Definitely some recency bias with 5 HB songs in the top 28, but feels roughly right overall.

 

Its a total banger Elf.

 

Keepsake rules, wtf.

 

Don't forget about even cowgirls get the blues

 

She Loves You, Keepsake, and Red Violins at the bottom? I just can't.

 

Manny has the "bottom tier" songs nailed, mostly. Great job Manny

But you also have Keepsake very low

Blue Dahlia at #3 is awfully high praise

 

she loves you isn't that great of a song

 

Yeah yeah yeah.

 

Never been big on Keepsake. It's not bad, but feels a little overwrought and a little long (same criticism goes for Too Much Blood).

Blue Dahlia just hits though

 

If it's 70 or above it's a bad song sorry

 

I stand by it

 

I'd expect nothing less from you

 

what song did i rank low that you love

 

or what song did i rank high that you hate

 

You should both be ashamed of those rankings.

 

I would actually like to see Craig's rankings! I can't do it, it's an impossible task with this band. I could maybe do "tiers" or something. I feel like I could do a top 10 and a bottom 5 and then everything in the middle would be super tough

 

And I'm especially not ready to rank History Books songs yet. I'm barely ready to rank Get Hurt songs LOL

Man, Get Hurt got absolutely rinsed in my rankings. Didn't realize exactly how lukewarm I was on a lot of those songs until I was actually playing through the bias sorter.
