It gets muddy after these but it would be a run of Backspacer songs. Most of FartingBolt would be last

Only 47 songs, but damn does it take a while to get through, and some of the choices were pretty difficult. Don't know if it's super accurate to what I might do if I just wrote it up while looking at a list, but I think it came out okay.

Some recency bias perhaps, but it's clear to me that Gigaton is vastly superior to anything post RA.

Very interesting seeing how the Gigaton songs are doing on these lists.

Don't you guys have a tracker or a website or something that does this shit for you?

[E.H. Ruddock]

this thread pisses me off so much. Why these four? BS and LB are leagues below ST and Gigaton. You guys get so hard to rank things. Why not "Ten, Binaural, Gigaton - rank the songs"?

(if any of you create that thread, I will immediately lock it.)

this thread pisses me off so much. Why these four?

Because they're the PRAMG albums

[Jorge]

Don't you guys have a tracker or a website or something that does this shit for you?

Yes it's this one http://return-to-form.surge.sh/

Looking at the rankings that were generated for me, there's a lot that makes sense and a lot that has me scratching my head. It put "River Cross" second to last, which I guess shook out that way during the head-to-head matchups but doesn't ring true to me
