1) Let Down

No surprises here. It’s been my favorite since the first time I heard it.
Thanks @tansleyjames.bsky.social and to everyone who followed along!

2) Nightswimming
R.E.M.
It’s always a difficult choice between this one and Find The River. Maybe the best final 2 songs on any album.
“These things, they go away
Replaced by everyday”

3) On A Plain
Nirvana
My countdown could be all Nirvana songs so it’s tough to narrow it down. When in doubt, choose one from Unplugged.
“Love myself better than you”

They kicked the decade off with a bang with this Jan. ‘90 release.

Give you somethin' that you never had”

Fuzzy
When a friend gave me their debut album, I had no idea I’d became such a big fan and that this song would become an all time favorite.
“You remind me
Of a song
One that made you cry”

6) Judas My Heart
Belly
The closing track to King which borrows elements from Star. That’s probably why I like it so much.
“Low hangs the moon
inside this room
So that I'm a witness when you
Judas my heart”

“Did you hear the distant lie
Calling me back to my sin”

“So blinded that I thought, all your lies were true
But now I know for certain, since you've gone away
It was just a smoldering fire, I mistook for a blaze
Only smoke and ashes baby”

Not enough spots to fit in this in the top 10 unfortunately. It certainly deserves to be there. The last minute is something special.
