So, what's it going to be? Will the Foo Fighters take the title for the 6th time? Or will Highly Suspect avenge its 2nd place finish from last year with a victory here? The top 2 songs are the only ones to be at #1 during the submission process. The song at #2 was the early title contender taking over the top position after the first list received. It then stayed their for the next 3 ballots. Our #1 then took over and never looked back staying at #1 over the final 22 ballots. 18 people ranked our #2 in their top 20 whereas 20 people ranked our #1 in the top 20. The song in second place received 11 top 10 rankings in total with 6 of these being top 5s. The song in first received 17 top 10s with 12 being top 5s, both of which were rankdown highs. #2 ended up with 1 fewer bottom 50 but had 1 more bottom 30 than #1. Only one poster's #1 made the top 2 and that is Az Paynter. Is his #1 the winner of the rankdown or did his #1 fall just short? We will find out shortly...

I'm one of the few who thinks this is their worst of their 3 charters. Don't get me wrong, it's a great catchy song, but I prefer their darker stuff like Pinnacle and Cirice. Almost anything off Meliora was better than this.

sigh, thought Square Hammer had a real shot at winning this, sadly not the case. Run is a great song and one of the Foo's best in the last few albums but I really want Highly Suspect to take this.

I was actually wondering if my #1 was the last one standing, thanks for that confirmation.

MNIH is definitely a deserved winner. Run and My Name is Human are both great songs, with MNIH being an obsession of mine this year. Great final 2. Awesome rankdown, rowellfarm490! Had lots of fun following this along.

this was fun to follow, sad to see my #1 and #2 just barely miss their rightful positions but happy the Foos didn't take another win (despite their song also being great)
plus MNIH gets redemption from last year's Active near-miss and the tanking on the Alt list this year. Great hosting job rowell!

Lol @ Az of all people to have his #1 song be the actual #1 in an Active Rock rankdown I'm not as enamored with "My Name Is Human" as a lot of you all are, but I still thought it was a very solid song and it's a great winner. Thanks for hosting rowellfarm490!!

Solid top 10, and great winner!
Thanks for hosting rowell!
Also pleased to have the most perfect rankings and to top the closeness chart for the rankdown, even without me hosting. :p
Will post my thoughts on the top 10 shortly.

I was only hoping for 'My Name Is Human' to do better here than it did in Alt, which it did - since I liked it so much when I did that rankdown it makes sense to me that it would be my #1 here, and I would have been satisfied with a top 5 finish.

That concludes the Active Rock 2017 Year-End Rankdown! I hope you had fun along the way finding out how we collectively ranked the top songs of Active Rock radio from the past year. Thank you for participating, playing along, and keeping things interesting with your commentary. I'm much better with numbers than words so putting all of this together was a fulfilling but challenging experience at times. Special thanks to Daryl the Beryl without whom these Rock Rankdowns would not be possible. Thank you for putting in the time and effort to compile the year-end lists and also for making the spotify playlists. For those interested in participating in other rankdowns there are plenty going on in the Games board but the one I would recommend is part 3 of this year's Rock Rankdowns, the AAA 2017 Rankdown, being hosted by peacebone . I had been working on my list but that kinda got sidetracked this past week. I'm biased toward active rock but I've discovered quite a few fantastic songs in the AAA list. Anyway, now time to catch up on some zzzz's...

10. Lights Out - Surprised it only scraped the top 10. How Did We Get So Dark? was pretty underwhelming, but this is a great song from them that kicks ass. 9. Less Than - I might have underranked this a bit, but great to see NIN finally get their first top 10 on a rankdown. Trent Reznor is a great vocalist and writer. 8. Hurricane - Can't say I'm surprised at its ranking. Great vocals and great riffs. 7. Song #3 - Rock solid melodic rocker from Stone Sour. When they make a melodic song, it works. 6. The Violence - Rise Against rarely disappoint. Lots of energy in this song. 5. Little One - And here I was thinking this would be top 3. The lyrics hit you hard and the riffs are likewise great. 4. Go to War - Ranked this just outside my top 10, but great to see this top 10. 3. Square Hammer - The worst of their three singles, but it's catchy enough. Great song. 2. Run - Minority opinion but I think this is one of the best rock songs of the year. Balances melody and aggressiveness well. 1. My Name Is Human - A worthy winner. My thoughts on this are similar to "Little One", but the latter hits hard more.

Even people here were complaining that it overstayed.

Highly Suspect is not a shocking winner, but at least its a worthy one. I wanted to see "Little One" win over "My Name Is Human", but I can live with either. The real question though is will we have a chance to rank them in the 2018 game? They seem to not enjoy putting our 3rd singles for whatever reason.
