Just got a shipping notification for my TGG vinyl set from Loneliest Place On Earth

 

lol an update on this: only the label has been created

the email says "your order has been shipped!" but the body says "shipped on 9/5/2023"

 

I did this in part because I'm a psychopath but also because I wanted to see if there was a limit on @Jason Tate 's new rank machine. If anyone wants to endure 600 clicks, join me in my madness.

I know like, 3 of their songs by name, so that's a no go for me

 

this might be the only one of these I do

 

Brothers & second to last?! I m mad

 

It always amuses me every time you put every single Wonder Years song back-to-back and you get the juxtaposition of stuff like The Ocean Grew Hands To Hold Me with Let's Moshercise!! and Bout to Get Fruit Punched, Homie

 

I’m gonna be honest I tried to do that ranking but I stopped around 260 ish/50%

 

lmao same

 

Extremely bored at work. My eyes starting going cross halfway through. I think it’s pretty accurate tho.

I did it... some of the B-sides and early tracks were a bit funky to rank since I don't listen to them often.

 

Cul-de-Sac is really high up there for me. So is Teenage Parents, which is why I'm VERY excited to see them play them both in a few weeks. I think I've only heard Cul-de-Sac on the B&D tour in early 2020

 

Cul-de-Sac wasn't an instant favorite, but it became one by the twentieth time through that album

 

Yeah cul-de-sac is 100% my number one. My favorite changes on a day to day but that one has consistently been in heavy rotation since it came out.

 

Cul-de-Sac is my #1

 

Wow! Yeah didn’t know cul-de-sac was so revered. That’s cool to have such a general consensus on one song

 

In terms of Cul-de-Sac, I think everybody can relate to the melancholy of losing a childhood friend they thought would have forever, whether that just be drifting apart with age or realizing you're entirely different people. Then doubled with the implication of an opioid addiction, it's devastating. The bridge makes me want to throw hands and cry at the same time. The callback to You're Not Salinger in the chorus just brings it home.

Why not, lol. There's some songs here that definitely would've been higher 5 years ago but I've just seen this band so many times that a lot of the bigger singles have lost their luster with me.

 

the bridge in Culdesac is so fucking good

 

Oh man this is tempting. Should have left out Get Stoked on It though

 

I was browsing through the album thinking about if I want to go to the tour and it was literally the cul-de-sac bridge that made me open the tab and buy the ticket

 

Cul-De-Sac and Teenage Parents are both top TWY songs for me, I really hope they bring this tour to Australia because I would love to see them both live

 

1. Bout to Get Fruit Punched, Homie
