My second 5-year summary list, just to give mentions to some bands that released songs I have loved over the past few years which didn't necessarily deliver a whole package that won me over. The top order of this list will probably have a greater focus on melodic, hooky, punchy-yet-accessible more mainstream songs, as a) those songs are more likely to stand out and worm into your head, especially on an uneven record, and b) they help fuel my workouts so get a lot more plays.

Thanks! Yeah some of the tags might be debatable, most of them I either went with what I'd assumed them to be or what MS had them tagged as, but yeah I'm not too concerned about them being exactly right
