Pulse Rankdown: 2013 Year End Active Rock Chart

[Daryl the Beryl]

HERE'S THE SPREADSHEET WITH ALL THE INFO ON THE RANKDOWN!

1) PM me the top 100 active rock songs, all ranked to your preference. (e.g. if you like a song the most, rank it the highest and vice versa).
2) The points a song has will be totalled up based on an inverse point system. So if you rank a song #100, it gets 1 point, and if you rank a song #1, it gets 100 points. All the points from the responders will be totalled up.
3) The due date for submission is July 916, Sunday, 10PM Eastern Time.
4) ALL songs must be ranked.
Spotify playlist:





There are a few songs geo-restricted in several countries, but you can find them on YouTube as well.

5) All your rankings will posted when I post a song in this thread.
6) For reference, here are the top 100 active rock songs of 2013. Top 50 is from Billboard, bottom 50 I roughly estimate via inverse point system. Bar a few exceptions, I excluded some repeats of songs that are not in the top 50 and are either 2012 peaks or crossovers to 2014. These include: Addicted to Pain, Adrenaline, Always, Battle Born, Black Heart, Blood, By and Down, Come a Little Closer, Coming Down, Deal with the Devil, Demons, Gentleman, I Miss the Misery, Little Black Submarines, Lost in the Echo, Not Gonna Die, Purple, Remember Me, Romantic Dreams, Sirens, Still Swinging, What If I Was Nothing, Whore and 45. Die for You and Picture Perfect peaked in the 2014 year, but spent most of their time in 2013. Likewise, Let Yourself Go and Turning Into You peaked in 2012 but spent more weeks in the 2013 year.
7) For "The Death of Me", you can choose to either rank the album version, or the rock mix. I purposely attached the rock mix since it was the one sent to radio.

Looking forward to this one already! Will definitely submit nearer the time.
Random question: How far are we going to go back?

Wasn't 'Lola Montez' included in the 2014 countdown?

As far as I can.

It still made the top 50 of the actual year-end chart, so I have to include it.

[janinho]

 And a new chance for LBTrocks to acknowledge the greatness of Lola Montez. 

[dm2081]

I better see all 3 Alice In Chains songs make the top 10, or I will start a riot on here.

[Troy]

from the looks of it, I might only like 10 of these songs

Can't we just replace it with a different song from 2013 instead?

Well, in that case, I apologize for being THAT guy yet again that hates a song most other participants love.

well, let's see we have , STP, HInder, Buckcherry, Avatar, Three Days Grace, Heaven's Basement, In This Moment, Halestorm, Myles Kennedy, Stone Sour and Three Doors Down. I'd say get in Riot mode early on.

[Daryl the Beryl]

Not gonna riot if "Riot" misses the top 50.

If you rank Hinder above AIC, I will hunt you down.  Please tell me you're joking (I know you're not, but just lie to me).

[Lordef†ones]

Hollow isn't getting any sympathy from me after blocking Tempest from #1.

[craziaskowboi]

I already have 42 of the 100 sorted.

[Red]

Anybody else ready for "Adrenalize" to be the best performing In This Moment song?

...

Anyone? Hello?!

[Daryl the Beryl]

With regards to AIC, I have no problem with "Stone" missing the top 10, but it still better do well. (top 30) But "Hollow" and "Voices" I feel are worthy to be top 10. The one song I hope dominates this game is "Tempest", and hopefully "Swerve City" does well too. I ranked "Romantic Dreams" lower the other time because I simply did not like it as much as the other two singles from the KNY era.

You might be okay with that. I sure as hell wouldn't.

Sorry but Stone was my least favorite single off that era. I'll have to compile my list first to see where these songs land.

[Lordef†ones]

I'm salty Romantic Dreams missed top ten but am perplexed that it did better than Phantom Bride. Tempest better not miss top ten, that's their best single since Digital Bath

[Beno]

Both Tempest and Hollow will be very high for me.

It was still Hinder with Austin Winkler, so will have to wait and see? I'm pretty sure that even If I put "Save Me" in my top 10; it won't make it above #90 on too many of your lists? So I'm no threat to you. I just gotta be consistent with myself.  ;)

Actually the only ITM song I really like, definitely won't be trashed on my list like their past songs.

At least you can count on me for that one too.  ;)

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

previewing some of these songs for the first time. This was a very angry year. No wonder I was into Indie Alt/Synth/Pop.

[Lordef†ones]

I'm so happy Aunt Betty made the cut. Middle Class Rut are so underrated

[Daryl the Beryl]

Extending the deadline by 1 week to July 16. No more extensions after this!

I have received lists only from rockmandattebayo and Lordef†ones.

Oh wow I didn't even know this was going on. I'll try to have mine done in the next week or so.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

Now I can dedicate this week to this rankdown.

[Beno]

I've submitted, and this year was so much stronger than 2014 it isn't even funny. There's honestly very little crap here.
