“Renegades of Funk” was the first cover that I would’ve nominated. (Except that I would’ve been beaten to it, but you get the idea.)

The Rat – The Walkmen (2004)
Realiti – Grimes (2015)
Red Eyes – The War on Drugs (2013)
Retrograde – James Blake (2013)
Run Away With Me – Carly Rae Jepsen (2015)

I know I can’t suggest other songs for people to nominate, but I’ll be shouting at my screen/phone for you guys to choose the songs I sadly had to leave off. (As I write this post, @MrDibble has already complied in part, so yay!)

22

Reggaeton - Baby Gang (2023)
Royals - Lorde (2013)

Man, I’m looking ahead to my S list, and there are a shit-ton of great S songs from the past 24 years. I’m just talking Top 40 and Top 40 artists, not even looking at deeper cuts and more obscure artists yet. Maybe we could preemptively allow a few more entries than the usual five?

37

The Rising Tide - The Killers, 2012
Rooting For You - London Grammar, 2017
Right As Rain - Adele, 2008

38

We will start with five, per usual. Then, probably allow an additional five rather than the usual three.

I’ll play it by ear, but I’m thinking that both S and T will go to 150 entries instead of the usual 100.

Only space for about a dozen more Rs.

mmm

39

River of Blood - The Black Angels - 2010
Ride - The Vines - 2003
Rigor Mortis Radio - The Hives - 2023

The video may be better than the song, but they’re both pretty dang good.

40

Looking at my own list for these two letters, it looks likely.
