4. The Good Left Undone - The first time I was actually rooting for a Rise Against song on here. Nothing they've released since this song has had as much of an impact for me. 3. Hammerhead - Pretty cool song. Don't think this deserves top 3, but better this than YGGFK. 2. Let It Die - If it had to be one of the two remaining Foos songs at the top, I would have preferred this one. Their singles were becoming rather samey at this point, so it was refreshing to hear something more unique get released. 1. The Pretender - I certainly wouldn't say this is a *bad* song, and ranking it below top 50 in a year like this would have just been petty, but I still never fully bought into the hype for it. There are a lot of Foo singles before and since that I like more. Plus, it's a really preditable #1 choice. Ah well, there were a lot of other interesting surprises throughout the rankdown to make up for this. A fun time as usual... thanks peacebone!

So who is the surprise host for 2007 Alt? You. We've decided you're gonna be the new hot of the next alt rankdown, that okay with you? This is Baron's way of making a peace offering.

Great winner.
I should've done this. If I knew s### like Sorry would've escaped the bottom 10, and the fact that IKAG wasn't lower, I would've done this earlier.

Was studying for finals during this, so I could only pop in every now and then. Gotta say, great job hosting peacebone, you made it a lot of fun! The Pretender may not have been my ideal pick, but at least some of my high rankings placed high. Can't wait for 2017's rankdown!

...wow. Can't believe my very first rankdown - and not even a pop rankdown - is the one to get the most posts in rankdown history. :o So after 4 days, 87 pages, over 2600 replies, and after various clashes (whether over Dr. Indie's taste and John Hinder, or over non-rock posters participating), it saddens me to say that this rankdown has finally arrived to a close. I'd like to thank each and every one of you who submitted a list (even if I sometimes gave some of you shit for some of your ranks ). I had so much fun hosting this, and I'm glad all of you had fun observing and following along with the craziness of this rankdown, as well as contributing to the craziness in itself. Once again, thank you all. Also, this won't be my final post in this thread - I'll be posting final closeness and other stats soon, and I plan on posting a spreadsheet tomorrow that shows how the list changed with every submission.

thanks for a great rankdown peacebone - even though I lost interest by the time we got to the top 5 I swear to god, my half-ass tanking was all for nothing, just watch me go for bottom 5 next time again, I don't dislike FF, but <YAWN> @ them winning everything... they're good but I want some variety dammit nevermind me, I'll end my rant now & go pout in a corner somewhere

I don't know what my highlight was: Putting Bartender and Too Drunk high and seeing reactions, or essentially tanking Re Education and Someone Like You and seeing reactions

Again, that's all I'll say.

Closest to peacebone, Green, and Daryl. Surprise!
I'm furthest from indulge (I'm sure he's as shocked as I am :kii: ), caged, and...Doc. Is this the first time Doc's been one of the furthest away from me?

I would have guessed "Use Me" would have one of the highest deviations? Wasn't I the only one who put it in the top 10?

The thing is that there were so many people ranking it bottom 10 + nobody else ranked it anywhere near as high as you did (the other four rankings that weren't bottom 10 were all around the middle of their lists). It still ended up in the lower half of the SDs.

Never thought I'd be responsible for 4 of the 5 closest pairs. I'm shocked that Wheat isn't in there, or Red. Glad to be a lot of people's closest, thanks for helping me out. As for humanshazam:

You tanked the songs that mattered most (AKA my #1) so I have no heart

Thanks for hosting this one, peacebone. This was a crazy one for sure and IMO the best one musically that we've done so far. Here's an idea. I'm not sure you'd all be on board for it since it's more work for the host. What if we did the same Alternative or Active rankdown for each year as in the Games section in the Rock section of the forum as well? Just with the same rankings. They way, we can see the differences within the rankings between rock/pop/whatever posters and only the rock posters in our specific section.

This has already been discussed in our group chat: Quote for reference for those not in it: You can always take the spreadsheet and filter out all of the "pop" posters to find the "true rank" if you really want later.
