Let there be blood. For the record, the 48s were the same. To add insult to injury, Red's #46 is the sole bottom 5 remaining.

Glad I have a friend in peacebone (and lyhom) to help shield the fury!
This song isn't bad but I've always found it kind of melodramatic.

#5 takes us to something a lot less divisive. This one has the seventh lowest standard deviation, and still has one bottom 10 to get mad at. Without that ranking, it'd have the 2nd-lowest. There are five top 10 losses, and two of them are top 5s. There were five other top 20s. Once this song reached the top 10 in the fourth list, it never turned back. It was once #2, but it fell a bit and tailed off to wind up here.

I don't think I've been into Coheed and Cambria's songs from the rock rankdowns yet, but "Welcome Home" was superb.

Everything that's now left is in my top 10: 3-6-7-9.
I'm cool with any of those to win.

I had a P-P-PERFECT RANKING with #5, and I'll have another with #4. Again, once this song reached the top 10 for the first time, it never left, and this too was once the #2 song. We lose five top 10s in total, and two of them are top 5s. We have only one bottom 20, but it's a bottom 10, and it's not a bottom 5, which means that Red's #46 will be the last one to be eliminated.

If you're mad this isn't higher, you have only one person to blame.

Ok, I was wrong. #3 actually has the most top tens in the rankdown. "Welcome Home" had six. THIS SONG HAS SEVEN. Only three of them are top 5s, and none of them are #1s. This song only has two bottom 20s. One of them is a bottom 10. The only bottom 10 left. It's also a bottom 5.

"45" - The Gaslight Anthem "All That's Left" - Thrice
This is our top 2.
Both of them have low standard deviations. #2 has the fifth lowest standard deviation, #1 has the lowest.
Both of these took similar paths to the top. Once they reached the top ten once, they stayed there. #2 reached the top ten with the third list, and #1 reached the top ten with the second list. #2 was the more dominant song throughout the submissions process, and it was in the top 5 for almost the whole time. This song was #1 for two lists, the third-to-last and the second-to-last. When "Welcome Home" went down, this song rose to take its place. Meanwhile, what ended up as the #1 was a consistent top 5 as well, but this one only reached #1 with the last list. Lordeftones changed a lot of things, and he changed the #1, making the two songs switch places.
#2 has five top tens. Two of them are top 5s. It also has five other top 20s. There is only one bottom 20 ranking - the last bottom 20 in the entire game.
On the other hand, #1 only has three top tens. However, all of them are top 5s. However, it has nine other top 20s. Only one person ranked it in the bottom half, and it was ranked just outside the bottom 20.
#1 won by 10 points.
Which is which? We'll find out soon.

I feel like there's no way "45" doesn't win this.
I'll obviously be down with both, but I'm going with the more predictable winner from the beginning.

I'm happy "45" won because it should have won Alt rankdowns, but nooooooo we have to let the Foo Fighters win every single one of them.

9. Sugar - one of my favorite SOAD songs. Pure chaos, crazy as hell, classic SOAD. 8. Wolves at Night - great song. Haven’t heard much from MO’s early catalog but this is awesome. 7. F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X. - one of my favorite songs ever. I didn’t put it on my rankdown bc Green had it on this, but this is absolutely outstanding. The guitar work is phenomal, the breakdown is killer, and I DONT WANNA SEE THE DAAAAY 6. Welcome Home - simply epic. Sounds like a going into war song. Sounds like not many other CoCa songs, buts it’s an amazing prog rock song. 5. The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows - a song that reminds me of 10th grade. Helped me though hard times, and got me into Brand New. Classic pop punk song. 4. Drones - probably my favorite Rise Agaisnt song. Standout song from TSATW, and another song that helped me through hard times. That bridge man, that bridge. 3. Busy Bein’ Born - my most listened to song of the year. The chorus is fucking monstrous, so much power in those vocals, just a fantastic song. 2. All That’s Left - classic thrice. Great song from an awesome band (that I had the privilege to see live!) 1. 45 - great song, lots of energy in this one. Expected it to do well. That chorus is unforgettable. Great rankdown, Green Baron! Had some amazing first listens here, and a lot of the songs here aligned with my taste. I’d love to see another installment of a rankdown like this.

"45" literally would have been in my top ten in any other ranking. In fact, up until I submitted the ranking, I thought about switching it with "Duality", but I figured that "Duality" needed the help more (which I was proven to be correct about). If anything, I'm shocked that "Welcome Home" didn't even make the top five, even with the tough competition, and I'm thrilled that "All That's Left" was in the top two. I thought that it was destined for the 20-11 range, so I'm glad to be proven wrong.
Can I also stress that I don't hate "Busy Bein' Born"? I like it. I just liked 45 songs more. (What a weird concidence. :kii: )
Another fine rankdown, Green.

Here's the link to watch each song's path throughout the submissions process!So, thus ends yet another rankdown experience, and one with less turmoil than those past. This one was one I was hoping to do for a long time, given how much I love pretty much every song on this list. Will I be back for more rankdown hosting in the future? It's always a possibility, but I can't say it's something that I'm dying to do right now. I'm glad to have received a nice turnout for this, and I hope I introduced some of you people to some wonderful songs you've never heard before, given how many of you shared my sentiments on liking even the songs ranked in the lower tiers. I'd like to thank you all for taking the time to listen to the playlist, submitting rankings and providing insight during the reveals process. It was a fun one. And hey, in one day, we get Red's 2017 Alternative rankdown. That'll be even more fun.

Really enjoyed this rankdown, discovered a bunch of great new tracks and I always love the rankdowns where nearly every song is fantastic (though it does make it much harder to rank). Thanks for hosting Baron!
also just checked the spreadsheet, my list sent Welcome Home directly from #1 (where it had been for 7 lists) to #6. Whoops.

Thanks for doing this one Green Baron ! I had lots of fun discovering some fantastic music along the way. I'll probably end up downloading all of the songs that I don't already have. Hopefully there will be a sequel somewhere down the road.
