The cool people all hate what I like, so my top 10 will probably get steadily chipped away at. never consider yourself uncool because you like what you like. You should be saying "you guys all suck for tanking an awesome song" Hey, I have no problem being myself these days. When I was talking about the cool people, it was tongue-in-cheek, because there's not much about pop culture this decade that's cool to me. I drive a Dodge, I attended a Nickelback concert in August, I don't have a Netflix account, and my favorite NFL player is Ben Roethlisberger, which should all make it glaringly obvious that popular opinion means nothing to me. Anyway, considering that Active Rock is the only current music I feel compelled to listen to these days despite mainstream pop culture rejecting the format five years ago (and counting), I'm beginning to think that I've graduated to middle age. I listen mostly to music from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s now. Those are my decades. When I take a road trip, I look up all the Active Rock, Classic Hip-Hop/R&B, Variety Hits and Classic Hits stations that I can find along the route I travel.

Too Drunk... - Buckcherrydm2081 surprises me here, but in a good way. I always thought this was a great song. It has a sort of blusey rock vibe to it. I would certainly put it in top 10 if the lyrics were not so in your face "fuckcherry", but this is Buckcherry, and you know the saying. If Sleaze Rock doesn't have haters than they are dong it wrong. Life would be boring if every song was a serious Radiohead critically acclaimed song. That's one of the reasons why I enjoy Nickelback. They don't take themselves so damn seriously, and they just shrug at everybody who hates them. Liberace cried all the way to the bank, and so did The Monkees, Grand Funk Railroad, The Eagles, Def Leppard and Hootie & The Blowfish. Now Nickelback do too. Be all that as it may, I just didn't like "Too Drunk..." at all. Buckcherry has done better. My favorite of theirs is "Next To You."

Though I'm more partial to AB, but Steelers all the way baby! In other news, there's still a kid rock song in this and I want to vomit.

My songs eliminated: 74,75,80,84,86,88,89,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,100
Not shedding a tear for any of these. Hinder is obnoxious as usual (the grunt at the start of "Use Me" is already a turn off for me), my least favorite of the 3 PoM songs is out, we got a useless Led Zeppelin cover out, and we got a good bunch of crappy post-grunge and nu metal out too. I think I said it before, but I believe I as too harsh on Buckcherry before, so I played a bit nicer to them since the 2009 rankdown. Still, it's not enough for "Too Drunk" to escape my bottom 20. "Amen" I likely overranked, but lol at it being the second to get the boot. Let's see whether "Greatest Show on Earth" can beat this, but it will most likely the #100 in the 2017 rankdown. (otherwise it would be a Ded or Motionless in White song)
I'm hoping the one Puddle of Mudd song I semi-like here is the last of them to get the boot, but I'm not having high hopes.

My Apocalypse - MetallicaI'm surprised this flopped on Active? Its fierce enough for rockers of all ages to enjoy. Thing is, it never was released as a single. It charted off hype for the release alone. At this point, unless it's some sh it like Lulu, a Metallica single won't flop, even after releasing multiple songs at a time. ("Moth Into Flame" still gets some recurrent airplay despite it's rushed chart run)

That song doesn't even belong on Active. Or the radio for that matter. It belongs as a youtube add in between Mvs for Ded and Motionless White.

What can we expect in the Saturday update?
All but one of us will lose our #100. We will see our first #1 loss. Two bottom 10s will be cleared.

Thoughts on the ones I missed; 97. Bad Girlfriend - SHE LIKES TO SHAKE HER UHSS 96. Bartender Song - This is a country song with bad lyrics. Why was this on active? 95. Out to Get You - I didn't hate this one. Pretty energetic and heavy. Not sure why it tanked so hard. 94. Good Times, Bad Times - Waste of a cover of a classic song. 93. Livin' on Borrowed Time - Bad. Worse than Psycho. 92. Enemy - Forgettable. I forgot Drowning Pool still made music. 91. Hero - One of Pop Evil's worst. 90. Addicted - I'm just tired of this song. 89. Dull Boy - Cheesy, but not awful. 88. Mutherfucker of the Year - Didn't like this. Not really much else to say. 87. So Many People - Obviously bad, but I didn't hate it...? I still can't pinpoint what the voice sounds like. 86. Addicted - Annoying, forgettable. I also forget that P.O.D. still make music.

I'll be busy for the next few hours, so I'll leave you guys on a cliffhanger. #84 sees our first #1 loss. Seven bottom 20s and four bottom 10s, as well as two bottom 5s, represent those who will be glad. Two top 50s are lost, as well as one on the borderline. This song has the 19th highest standard deviation, and the second highest revealed so far. Whose #1 is it, and what song is this?
See you later.

It's not Doc's #1. Although, he's the second highest ranker, so it's not like he'll be so happy about it regardless. Unfortunately, craziaskowboi is even less happy. 84

Oh, well, I suppose that sort of makes sense, too, though this and "Wicked Soul" still should not have been out before "Sorry".

While we don't lose any top 10s in #83, this one might be even more fun. Amazingly, this song spent a grand total of ONE ballot in the bottom 10. Four bottom 10s leave, including three bottom 3s, none of which are higher than #98. There are three top 50 rankings which kept this song afloat, two of them being members who have taken quite the beating in this game. I said that no one lost a top 10 in this one, right? I didn't say anything about a #11.
