Going to assume these low Halloween rankings are strictly for the botched Get Hurt version, and not the immaculate 45RPM Club version.

 

Yeah there was a video of a live performance that I used to watch all the time and was really disappointed with the recorded version

 

It’s not very good

 

This one? I go back to it a lot.

I was referring to this, which I think is technically a demo? It just sounds infinitely more lively than the version on Get Hurt.

 

You’re right.

It’s great. :)

 

I used to watch this one from the handwritten tour

 

Stray Paper is not remotely bad enough to be basically the only consensus bottom five track. That's so wild to me.

 

I had way too hard of a time with this once I hit like 60% and stopped.

 

Man, I’m seeing mama’s boys last on a few rankings and I absolutely love that song.

 

it’s not bad but I always thought it was so blah, lazy. It’s not a bad song but it IS “bad Gaslight”. To me.

 

I agree with so much of your list but cannot fathom She Loves you at 77. Top 15 for me. Mind blown

 

Is there a reason nobody is including Teenage Rebellion? Is that song a cover and I don’t know it??

I’ll try this tomorrow.

 

it's lesser gaslight for sure but there's at least five worse songs on Get Hurt alone

 

yeah not for me. I have Vicious and Stray Paper both bottom 5 overall

 

I knocked it down because I've oy listened a couple of times. Will revisit and give it more of a chance.

 

I like that you can do a ranking of songs that feature that guitar line from She Loves You lol

 

Yeah yeah yeah.

 

“Stray Paper” is one of the only Gaslight songs that I would plainly say just sucks. Easy bottom five.

 

Alright, someone give me the link to rank every gaslight song. I'm ready to do this.

 

who hurt y’all
