Rank all G4 Songs

[Tom Gallagher 33,521]

Me and @Sven Glimmer have come up with a topic that we haven’t seen here yet.  A chance for everypony to rank all the songs from G4.  We all have numerous favourites and that’s thanks to Daniel Ingram’s incredible work and talent throughout all nine seasons.  The songwriting, beautiful (for the most part) vocals, and well-produced tunes that are just some of the many things that make FiM so amazing.  I can’t in a million years rank them myself but I’d love to see what everypony else has to say. 

Songs from EqG are optional but please don’t include G5 songs. Happy ranking!

Ooooo, this is a fun topic!

I can't rank all of them, but I can say my top five are:

5. Apple to the Core - One of FIM's underrated songs, I like the message of family not having to be blood related in the episode

4. Flawless - Another underrated song, I think one of FIM's most underrated songs. Not many people love this one but I just think it's really nice! I'm not a huge fan of the episode it came from though

3. Open Up Your Eyes - Don't need to say much about this one. One of the best villain songs in FIM, and one of the best villain songs in any children's media for a while! (And yes, I'm including Disney villains)

2. Hope Shines Eternal - Cute song, one of the few from EqG I really like. Like Flawless, I don't love its source material, but the song itself is nice! My roommate and I listen to it on road trips

1. This Day Aria - This song has been an absolute gem ever since the episode came out. I don't think any other MLP song has added up to This Day Aria's quality

I'm serious, there is no song of the show that I find to be t.r.a.s.h. Just because it's on the "Don't Mind" list doesn't mean it's waste, the worst of that section is just mediocre to me. I didn't include EqG stuff, since I'm pretty indifferent to most of the EqG songs with notable exceptions like Helping Twilight Win the Crown and My Past is Not Today, ones I love.

Ordered one part incorrectly.

[Lone Traveler 87]

This is by far the worst song that MLP G4 ever did, this thing is so cringe that its genuinely painful to watch.

My favorite MLP song is either Smile or This Day Aria, its hard to say which I prefer since they are two completely different types of songs.

Also, here's a good video from someone who did rank all the songs:
