Rockers and thrashers, come one, come all. I see we haven't had many explicitly Metal games, aside from the Alt-Metal one by figurative going on right now. So let's change that. I have a feeling there are enough of you classic metal fans out here who would love to chat about the brilliance that came from this era. And for those who wouldn't exactly call themselves metalheads but are still curious, this might be a good list to dive in with. I hope players of all kinds can come out with worthwhile discoveries. PM me your ranking of all these songs from best (#1) to worst (#50). Leave the band names in or not, either way is fine, but be sure to number them. After sending your list, you may make changes to your ranks up to one hour before the deadline. Inverse point system will be used.

Assembled this tag list from a combination of Anna's Alt Metal and the 2017 YE Active Rock RDs. Like this post if you want to be removed from it, going forward.

Some great tracks on this list. Reminds me of my metalhead days, I used to be a big Slayer fan. Hell Awaits is a jam.
Also props on picking one of Ozzy's best solo tracks instead of Crazy Train or something.

Three weeks away! Also I changed my rule about edits since I realized it was weird and kind of unfair, so review the OP for that

Rankdown milestone achieved: receive a ranking other than your own. Let's commemorate this with a Ballot Update! Not sure if I'm going to do one per every new list going forward; depends on the rate at which I get them.
Our second list comes from the inimitable @humanshazam.
- 17 songs have reached the 60-point threshold.
- Every song in the top 10 has at least 66 points. Every song in the bottom 10 has yet to exceed 32 points, with only #50 failing to attain double digits.
- The difference in points between #1 and #4 is almost the same as between #4 and #19. #1's lead over #2 is 8 points, and #2's lead over #3 is 4 points.
- The two highest SDs sit at #20 and #28. The two lowest SDs land at #23 and #25.
- As it is early, we have a large number of ties. I won't go through them all, but I will mention ties at #6, a 5-way tie at #10, and a 4-way tie at #45.

Two weeks from the deadline! Again, got our second list, so that's a good sign. I know this week has been a hectic one for rock-oriented RDs, what with shazam's FOAT and 2007 Alt and Active all closing and revealing. I have a feeling, now that those are past, we'll see lists submitted here at a quicker rate. Go out and prove me right!

Slightly-more-than-1 week reminder. A little earlier than normal, because I haven't received any lists since humanshazam's. Ya bunch-a slackers!! Nah I'm fudging with y'all. I'm just really eager to get this rankdown off the ground successfully next Sunday. An extension can be given (and I will give a bit of one anyway if not much comes in before the deadline); would rather not though since it's already been over 6 weeks since this opened. Adjusted the tag list a little after some inquiries in Discord. Like this post if you want to be removed from tags; inform me if you want to be added to reminders or tagged as a spectator in reveals.

3 days until the deadline! This might be a good time to ask: if I were to extend, what would be an adequate length of time so that everyone who is thinking about submitting, can submit? If enough people say they need the extension I might announce it before Saturday.

I'm probably going to need the extension, honestly...but we'll see. Maybe I'll sneak in there before the deadline.

Yea you know what, every other rankdown is doing it, so let's bump that due date back real quick. I've settled on February 27th, 5PM PT for now. Even this is only a hard deadline if I have, say, 8-10 ballots with everyone who really wanted in having submitted. But try to aim for before that time.

A two-day extension is perfect for me. Stuff came up this weekend and I wasn't on the computer until now, so I'm not even close to finished. The good news is, I have the next three days off, so I can get it done with a few hours to focus on it.

5 hours until the deadline! I've received a third submission (from Dr. Indie), and you can be in the next ballot update if you are the fourth person to send a ranking. Also, fun fact: If you have never heard of any of these tracks at all, well, the total run-time of the list is just under 4 hours. So you can still get something in by 5PM PT if you start listening to the songs right now and keep good notes during. Though, I'd like to reinforce that the true deadline is when I have a minimum of 8 ballots and everyone who wants to has participated.

I have two more lists in tow, so it's time for a Ballot Update!
Our third and fourth lists come from loyal knight of party rock, Doc Indie Party Rock, and the honorable host of the most recent year's Active Rock Rankdown, rowellfarm490.
- 23 songs have reached the triple digits in points.
- Every song in the top 10 has at least 131 points. Every song in the bottom 10 has 71 points or less. #50 barely crossed 40 points with Rowell's ballot.
- Just four songs have stayed constant in the top 10 since humanshazam's list, including the current top 3. Three of the previous top 10 songs are now not even in the top 25. Meanwhile, three of the current top 10 were outside the top 20 at that point.
- On the other end, four songs have taken long residences in the bottom 10. These songs appear at #50, #47, #46, and #43. One of the current bottom 10 was a former top 10! Drindie's list changed the #50, and the previous #50 is now stationed just above the bottom 10.
- The #1 has yet to change, and right now it has a 17-point lead over #2. #2's lead over #3, however, is not nearly as strong, having eclipsed the former #2 by a single point after rowell's list.
- The situation is pretty dire for our #50; it trails #49 by 14 points. The songs get much tighter after that, though, as #49 and #44 are 15 points apart.
- The difference between #3 and #4 is the same as the difference between #4 and #11.
- The competition is heated in the 7-19 range; those songs are only separated by 12 points.
- Neither of the two lowest SDs as of shazam's list are still among the 10 lowest. The two highest SDs, on the other hand, are still in the four highest.
- The ties are starting to break up a bit, so we can mention all of them this time. One alarm-sounding for a tie at #8! The other ties can be found at #11, #13, #15 (3-way), #18, #24, #35, #39, and #41.

The hits keep coming, folks--I've got another Ballot Update fresh out the kitchen!
Our fifth and sixth lists come from the one and only, craziaskowboi, and 30 Over 30 Rankdown Luminary, Red. (Lordef†ones, you'll be leading off the next ballot update...if we get that far)
- The threshold for the top half is 149 points. All but 7 songs have reached the triple digits in points.
- Every song in the top 10 has at least 191 points. Every song in the bottom 10 has 108 points or less.
- The count of songs to be in every top 10 since humanshazam's list is down to 3--these are the current top 2 and #4. Six songs have yet to leave the top 10 since drindie's list, however. One top 10 from the end of last ballot update briefly left the top half before scraping back in the top 20 with Red's list. A couple low top 20s from last time are now in the current top 10.
- Similar to the top 10, the bottom 10 now only contains 3 songs that have been present there since shazam's list. These songs appear at #50, #49, and #46. The highest any song in the bottom 10 was after rowell's list was #24.
- Our previously bulletproof #1 was dethroned in this update. It is now #2--5 points above #3, and 10 points below #1. That #1 has reigned for the last 2 lists.
- #50 continues to dig a hole; it now trails #49 by 17 points. The margins are growing apart and more even across the board, in fact, as #49 and #44 are 17 points apart.
- #16-21 are densely packed within 2 points.
- Two songs have risen to among the 10 highest SDs. The same is true of the 10 lowest SDs; two songs have fallen there.
- The ties keep shrinking. We don't have to sound the alarm, but we come close with a tie at #11. The other ties can be found at #16, #19 (3-way...yea, those won't go away), #27, #31, #34, #41, and #44.

Also, we are technically past the due date, but I am one ranking short of the 8 minimum I set for this rankdown. Honestly, I was worried we wouldn't even reach that number by this time, so I'm pretty happy right now. That being said, submissions are officially indefinitely open for at least 1 more ballot to come in. Clearly I want this rankdown to be the most successful it can be, so another thing: if you are, for sure, working on a list, you must reply in this thread to tell me so before tomorrow, February 28th, at 5 PM PT. I will wait for you. This is to leave me open for a late Wednesday reveal of #50-41 if possible.
