Is it ok that I re-submit my list? I may want to make some changes after I submit my list for 2008 active. (if I do re-submit, note that in a ballot update as well) I plan to submit that re-submitted list today or tomorrow.

I should hopefully have this in tonight or tomorrow. I'm prioritizing finishing this rankdown over anything else, lol.
A lot of solid songs, but also a lot of songs I just don't like at all.

Damn, it's already been near a month since we started 2009. Time really does fly by fast.

I just realized that results start the night that I have my Paramore concert. Iβm gonna be too damn tired to stay up for the results. I wasnβt planning on staying up till 2 AM anyways.

Listening right now but I'm not 100% sure if I'm gonna be able to make it.
Side note: I've heard Fake It so many times but I'm just now beginning to realize what an uncomfortable lyric "I feel so raped" is.

Oh man, wait till you hear that Nirvana song Meh, that's a bit different. At least in that song he's using it in the sense of "beat me, hurt me, rape me, etc you can't get to me." In the context of Fake It it just comes across as whiney and over the top and doesn't even feel like it makes much sense in the song's context.

Three more days left! I received another list earlier today, so I'm only one list away from another Ballot Update.

I'll likely be the next ballot turned in tomorrow. I was going to get through it tonight but things came up.
I think I have around half ranked.

I'm pretty much done. Just have to look everything over and submit. I'll probably do so tonight or tomorrow as it's a super busy day at work today for me. This list overall was awesome. It really shows how much more variety there was on Alternative a decade ago, which I loved.
The way to help myself rank the songs is by doing so out of giving them up to a 5-star rating. I don't think I've ever given this many 5's and 4.5's. Only four 1.5's and no 1's. In comparison in the 2009 Active Rankdown, I only had one 5-star rating and six 1-star ratings.
5 stars: 8 4.5 stars: 10 4 stars: 25 3.5 stars: 23 3 stars: 21 2.5 stars: 6 2 stars: 2 1.5 stars: 4 1 star: 0

My list is almost done. I ran into a snag; I'm missing a song and cannot find it. ETA: found it!
Once I find the song and do some quick edits, I'll be done.

If I didn't like cock rock so much during this period, I actually think my closeness would be pretty high, lol. I know damn well like five of my Top 20 are going to be weeded out quick. There were some solid discoveries in here, and some that I am really curious to see how they do: my #4, #7 and #17 in particular. I hope none of you did SafetySuit dirty.

A 12pt font...you know what this means. It's time for another Ballot Update!
Our next three submitters are rockmandattebayo , Sambalada , and maine ! What's new with their lists?
At the top:- #1's margin ahead of #2 dropped a bit since the last Ballot Update - it's currently 42 points ahead of #2. #2 and #3 are 22 points apart, and are the only songs to be within 100 points of #1.
- Our four top 10 constants are still in there - and as of now, they're all back-to-back on the list. In fact, no songs have entered or left the top 10 since the last Ballot Update.
- With maine 's list, our top 3 became the first songs to reach 1500 points.
- As far as entering the top 20...only one point separates #20 and #21. The margin is nowhere near as close for entering the top 10 (36 points between #10 and #11).
At the bottom:- Sambalada 's list led to a brand new #100. It's currently 17 points behind #99.
- A song that had been in the bottom 10 from the very beginning has just barely escaped the bottom 10 with maine 's list. (and I say barely, because it's at #90...and only two points ahead of #91)
Let's end with Pulse's favorite part of the Ballot Update...ties! We've currently got ties at #15, #33, and #64.

For the record, I will change my name back as soon as the song I named this after gets eliminated

This must be "Bad Girlfriend", right? We think very different. For me, I' say, This should be "Handelbars". Not that it is, but it should be?

Hey almost done listening to everything! Should have my list ready by tommorow after school (or maybe even today).
Dear god this is an awful year for alt. Yeah I hate to say it, but I'll easily take this year's top 100 over 2008's. Most of the stuff on here is either watered down pop punk or post grunge, neither genres that I'm a particularly big fan of (though I don't hate either), and the song quality in general just feels like a big step down from previous years.

I donβt think it was an awful year per se but it definitely pales in comparison of 2007 and 2006. The 2007 list look pretty awesome btw. Just looking at the listing I think I found a fitting number one.

I suddenly have a bad feeling about one of the songs in my top five. :( (I have a bad feeling about 3/5 of my top five, though. I'm only remotely confident about my #1 and my #5 doing well.)

My #1 has a legitimate chance at #1 this time around. Also, please do not let "Re-Education" even near the top 10, much less #1 again

I see only 3 songs in my top 10 that have a strong chance at making the overall top 10. Go me.
