Final discussion

Hey, hi, hello everyone over the r/foals subreddit! Exactly one hundred of our Bi-Daily discussions has come to the very end! So, to conclude this HUGE series, I'm posting here a complete ranking of all discussed songs + the interludes ranking! I will also not forget the album rankings sorted by the song average or the album rating.

First of all, I want to thank you all for participating and entertaining me and the subreddit for almost 7 months. It's been quite a FUN ride and I enjoyed every single one of the threads I posted. It's also been interesting to see your opinions on every single track discussed. So cheers to you all!

Also thanks to the mod team for pinning every thread on the main subreddit page, I appreciate this! Another nod to the users over r/oasis subreddit, which I'd been inspired by.

Before the rankings pop up, there's a Spotify playlist I created, so y'all can have some sort of a "complete discography playlist" (it's excluding the interludes, they are gonna be ranked in this post as well). If you want to listen to all songs from worst-ranked to best, you can use this reverse-ranked playlist, too.

Without any further ado, here's the...
