This was a really solid year for alternative. I ended up ranking songs in the 70s and 80s that normally would have been in my top 50 in other years. I only disliked my bottom 4 songs.

Holy shit! I'm hearing this again and "Cousins" bumped into the list, a lot of memories of PES 2010 came to mind :')

Really solid year in rock. Maybe only the bottom 7 or 8 songs I truly don't like. This should make for interesting results.

Fwiw we'll be starting this on Sunday night because I forgot I'm not so free on Saturday nights. So that'll give more extra time for those compiling their lists. Like in 2012/2013, I'll start a survey on Saturday night.

I'll try to scrape a list together, though I've also been busy with the worst of 2017 and your personal rankdown.

I'm so nervous about this rankdown. There's so many great songs this year, and I have no doubt in my mind that at least one or two of them will finish well below where they should. 11-30 might be the strongest 11-30 I've ever had in one of these rankdowns. And it's going to get tougher the further back we go.

The secret to getting these done on time; at least for me, is to start early. I'm starting on the 2010 Active tonight. make three cloumns. Great songs: Decent Songs: Crap songs: and file each song under it's column. When the deadline nears, just do a quick preview of the songs and switch em up however you see fit. One thing I never take into consideration is the song's actual year end placing. I couldn't care less. Band name is important , but not crucial. Sometimes I'll start a song in the crap column, but as I listen to more songs, that song moves up to the decent, and even sometimes to the great songs. then you got those great first time listen discoveries to fill in gaps too. This process makes the whole ranking experience fun and not feel like a task I gotta get done before the due date. Happy listening

My choices for #1 are either going to be an all-time favorite of mine boosted by my hormonal affection, an underrated anthem from an off-overlooked indie band, another underrated indie anthem, or the obvious pick. I went with the obvious pick. I’m pretty sure it’ll finish Top 10, but stranger things have happened

I'm surprised by the high quality of these tracks. Some of the titles scared me, but for the few I've seen, I really liked them.
I don't think I have a #1 picked out yet, but I should have a strong Top 10.

won't be sending in a list this time, will be watching and hoping "1901" goes far though, as that probably would have been my #1

Just sent my list. As we go back through the time I know fewer songs from the list, this time there were only like 5 songs I knew so most of these were first listens for me (even my #1). I really hope my #1 makes top 10 at least, that song is amazing. This was a great year, I had to rank some songs 20 spots than where I ranked them on the 2011 list and there were only 4 songs I didn't really like. I don't think I'll do great this time around, but I hope to do.
Looking forward to the results!

Ever since I changed my display name and avatar to "Green Aaron" on August 28, Aaron Judge batted .302/.462/.844 for a 1.306 OPS, 15 HR and 32 RBIs.
As we enter a new rankdown year I must change it again, but I'm scared I'm jinxing it.
