Let me tell you a secret
I've been secretly banging your homeboy
Why you in Vegas all up on Valentine's Day?
Why am I so easy to forget like that?
It can't be that easy for you to get like that

So please, hurry, leave me, I can't breathe
Please don't say you love me
Mune ga hachikire-sōde
One word from you and I would
Jump off of this ledge I'm on, baby
Tell me, "Don't," so I can crawl back in

Fuck, marry, kill!
Umm, an army of Furbies that won't stop chanting the Lord's prayer
A can of rigatoni on the street
Umm, going over to a friend's house for a sleepover for the first time
And their Dad wants them to pop a cyst on his back
But they're really squeamish and faint
But he's in a lot of pain so you have to do it

Perfectly tongue in cheek and gleefully furious, the album for smashing plates in your parents' basement while wearing a Michael Meyers mask. [First added to this chart: 04/11/2021]

Here comes the ground again
My concrete safety net
As I leave the sky for the earth, I shed
Shed my feathers and my small net worth
Here comes the ground again
I want less

Today, I will wear my white button-down
I'm tired of wanting more, I think I'm finally worn
For you have a way of promising things
And I've been a forest fire, I am a forest fire
And I am the fire, and I am the forest
And I am a witness watching it
I stand in a valley watching it
And you are not there at all

Great list Ruby!
There's a really good attention to some of the really under-appreciated works of the 2000s here. The Dears and Stars are super underrated, and then the esoteric A.A. Bondy pick makes sense in the context of Frightened Rabbit/Mountain Goats being in the top 10, themselves also being great choices. Ride are a personal favourite of mine too, In a Different Place and Vapour Trail are just incredible tracks off that record (to name only a couple). Some things I'm totally unfamiliar with like Dazey And the Scouts, and then there's a couple weird choices like a pretty contrarian New Pornographers pick, and then the odd Laurie Anderson pick (both still good records, just not the ones by them I'd expect). I look forward to hopefully seeing it grow to 100!
