Damn. Wanted this to win.
On a positive note, it always is fun to see GB and indulge's ranks side by side

I love love love this song to death I’m just suprised that I found 5 songs I liked more. Also my number one is going to get second again!
EDIT: Holy shit it may not!

3. Don't Take the Money - Bleachers Easily my favorite Bleachers song. That 80's vibe was incredible.

Well my #1 is still in this, so I pray it will be rightfully awarded the crown it deserves. For those who follow my posts, it shouldn't be hard to figure out which one is my #1.

C’mon 1975! Don’t let this turn into another predictable, trash rankdown after all we’ve gone through!

Feel It Still will probably get tanked by a lot of people. I'm expecting to be the highest ranker for that song I can think of two specific people that will rank it higher than you. Impossible.

while waiting for #1 and #2, my answers in caps below Wish I Knew You and Feel It Still are my guesses for #1 and #2. I've seen live 9 out of the 10 bands that made the top ten, so will provide brief comments for each (without giving away who they are). 2 - charismatic frontperson - THE 1975 3 - forgettable and a bit boring live, this is their only decent song - THE REVIVALISTS 5 - one of the poorest live singing vocals ever, but their extreme hyperactive energy makes up for it BLEACHERS 28 - great vocals and lot of fun PARAMORE 42 - audience banter during technical difficulties had more charisma than actual musical performance, though maybe it was due to sound problems. LORDE 55 - haven't seen them in person PORTUGAL THE MAN 74 - excellent live band, my favorite of this top ten, though this particular song doesn't do it for me THE KILLERS 84 - disappointing live with a phoned in performance, affected my rankings here adversely DREAMCAR 93 - more energy in live setting than in the studio, though that's not saying much THE NATIONAL 98 - pretty good live, here i'm tanking the song and not the band BASTILLE Don't forget about this I'm very intrigued by who is who

So, it all comes down to this: "Feel It Still" vs. "Somebody Else". One of these two songs will rule the biggest roost in Alt rankdown history. But first, because I'm predictable, let's give out some stats for the top two songs!
- Both songs have at least three #1 rankings. - Both of these songs were #1 in the rankdown for over ten rankings. The song that finished #1 wound up breaking the tie those two had in terms of rankings spent at #1. - One song has twenty top ten rankings, while the other has eighteen. - One song has low rankings...but one song has multiple really low rankings. (Take a wild guess as to which one is which.) - Even with one song knowingly having tankers...the difference between #1 and #2 was still only 23 points.
Find out shortly what won the 2017 Alt rankdown!

Presuming the one with the REALLY low rankings is the one that lost, and if I'm correct 'Feel It Still' is in Figurative's bottom 10 which counts as a REALLY low ranking. That, plus my #70 makes me hope that The 1975 have actually managed this.

There is no way "Somebody Else" isn't taking this.

Wait technical difficulties? Did you see Lorde at Bonnaroo? KROQ Weenie Roast in LA (several of the bands in top ten performed there as well).

Guessing FIS was the more polarizing one that lost. At least that better be the case...
