Oh I don't disagree that it'll be being talked about, I just don't think for reasons that would deem it "iconic." I very much disagree that being talked about for being a magnet for controversy of that caliber makes the game itself "iconic"

But apparently that is a minority opinion here, alas

Being talked about alone does not make a game iconic lol, that's an aspect but there's the actual quality of the game itself. And also talking ABOUT the quality of the game itself, not just talking about the controversy of "fuck your concerns, me need childhood wizard game"

Elden Ring is probably the most obvious answer for the long run.

Ahhhhhhh I missed out on top 10! Ah well, this was very fun! I'm pretty sure I did much better than the last ranking, and even without that I love sharing music I love so thanks for letting me do that! It's always fun to read your thoughts on songs.

And though you have more than enough music on your plate already with suggestions, I'm curious about one I remembered. There's an alternative metal/shoegaze-y band called Fleshwater that came out with their debut album last year, and on it they did a cover of Enjoy! I'm wondering how you might feel about the song when done in a different direction, I think it's pretty neat. And their whole album is fun too.

Fleshwater - Enjoy

Love me some Planet Shit, one of my favorites on the album thanks to the lyrics. I wouldn't say you necessarily always have to be angry to listen to it, it can just be satisfying in general for me. I'm not sure I can even name a specific favorite part, all of it is so good. Keith's delivery on "Who's fucking side are you on" and "better yet, the guillotine" if I had to pick specific parts.

Yea, Post-Boredom is one of their most accessible songs I'd say. It fees like they went "yea, we can totally make a radio friendly-ish song and still keep the bite and charm of the band intact" and so they did. Something I think is neat about the song, it doesn't have a completely typical "verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus" song structure, they throw in another little verse after the bridge at the end. Some other lines that I like from it is the whole "I gave you nothing, you want more? You'll get more nothing" and "I've done it all wrong for so long it feels okay.
From up here the parties and funerals, they look the same."

Fun to see it start at 100 lol

Points of Authority one of my fav Linkin Park songs, nice to see it get top Hybrid Theory spot.

White Void being one of the top Radical songs for you doesn't surprise me, Keith does some great singing on it. Along with the mentioned "By the time I saw the light, I was dead," I also love his delivery on the final bridge of the song. Fun fact: I was at the Every Time I Die show that they premiered White Void for the first time at, and it's also the ONLY Radical song I got to see them perform live as they ended not too long after the album came out sadly. My favorite album from them, and I'll never be able to see them perform any songs from it.

This was the article I read when looking for info about Rowling and trying to make a decision about this game. In particular, I'll quote one bit near the end that convinced me.

https://www.gamespot.com/amp-articles/jk-rowlings-anti-transgender-stance-and-hogwarts-legacy/1100-6501632/

"If you are not willing to give up a piece of entertainment in solidarity against the harm JK Rowling continues to enact; then how can trans people feel assured youll be willing to fight for us in more important areas, such as anti-trans violence, be it physical, mental, personal, systemic or legislative, especially as the discrimination continues to rise? So while I will say you are not a transphobe or a bigot if you buy Hogwarts Legacy, do not also claim to be a trans ally if you do buy the game. Being an ally means being willing to give something up, and what's more, to stand up for those who are vulnerable."

It made me think of what MLK once said about how the greatest hurdle towards civil rights was the white moderate. They werent explicitly racist, but they refused to support anything if it impacted them in any way. Well, not playing a HP game is a pretty small impact on me, so I suppose it's the least I can do in solidarity with people who are impacted way more by Rowling's influence.
This is generally what I meant by my Gamespot coverage comment, but coming back to this shitshow of a topic to see plum have an immense Galaxy Brain take as per usual was sure something

It's funny you talk about a musical in We Go Together's writeup, as I consider that song the closest example of if Every Time I Die decided to write a rock opera song of sorts, I love how theatrical and varied it is.

Tom MacDon-ahaha I can't even finish that sorry

Danny Brown - starting with his most recent might be the best, uknowhatimsayin. His album before that, Atrocity Exhibition, is what I got into him with but it's a bit more out there. But extremely worth it. His breakout tape, XXX, definitely satisfies the interesting commentaries and stories angle and is phenomenal, but it can be a bit crude for some people.

Denzel Curry - I'd say Ta13oo is a good starting point and working forward from there. His album from last year might be a good introduction too though, and his in-between album ZUU is great for a more classic hip hop sound.

Vince Staples - probably Summertime 06 to start with, but Big Fish Theory is my favorite project from him and has amazing production and electronic influences. His two most recent albums are more somber and introspective which is really neat as well.

Pusha T - Daytona, extremely tight and concise with great production and flow. After that, pretty much any album from him works.

Little Simz - A UK rapper that definitely has everything you'd want, Grey Area to Sometimes I Might Be Introvert to No Thank You is such a run.

JID - probably my most recent favorite, his album from last year The Forever Story is legitimately world class. He's really on another level with his bars and style.

I have more but that's probably a good starting point, of course there's more obvious ones like Kendrick Lamar that go without saying but I thought I'd focus on some somewhat lesser known ones.
