Damn, I really liked this, despite it being a little less metal than most of the RD.
Oh well.
Maybe Razor becomes my "meme answer" now. Let's find out.

Lordef†ones was so close to knocking his #50 out of the top half, but it wasn't to be.

So this kind of makes it apparent where my allegiance lied in this rankdown. But I guess it was about time for the other shoe to drop.

#24 was nearly a victim of my one mistake in entering the lists before I double-checked. To make it easier for one person to guess--Red, it was your list, where I messed up on a tens digit. As for everyone else--weirdly, this song didn't obtain a top 15, but 2 top 20 ranks can be found, as well as two others in the top half. Just one bottom 10, and it's not a low one. This song's nadir was only outside the top 35, and sheer likability almost took it into the top 15, but no major boost would ever come.

I don't know what, exactly, is going on in that cover art, but I do know that I like Edgar Winter in seal form. The song itself was good, too.

#23 is also comprised of 4/9 top half rankings, but this time, two are top 15s. The only bottom 10 does come close to a bottom 5, though. This song was a very slow climber, spending more than half of the game in the bottom 10, and just managed to enter the top 25 after the final ballot.

It was nice to find out which songs I didn't expect much of would become sleeper hits, but, I'm personally not sad this didn't go much further.

This was my third favorite true, never heard before discovery. Sigh. I was ready for it, but that doesn't mean that I wanted it to go.

#22 features our first bottom 10 clearing, as well as the last #50. Yep, another high SD is coming up--the 8th highest. One top 5, another top 10, and two more top half ranks make up the higher extremes. There's also a smattering of rankings not that far below the top half, before you get to the bottom 10s. The song's movement isn't too crazy. It never even left top 30, just sagged in the middle.

Given how this rankdown has been going, this could either be my first top ten loss or my last bottom ten loss.
(Can't wait for it to be something in between!)

I'm going to make Doc Indie Party Rock's pun for him: It's time to...pull the plug...on "Pull the Plug". Also congrats, Red, on being the first to clear your bottom 10. Luckily you didn't cause the track to fall far below where I had it or anything. Others won't be so favorable to you.

The catch is that I have Doc shielding me, so any blowback will not be as severe. :kii:
Yeah, I kind of figured Doc's 50 was my 41. This was, by far, the toughest bottom ten ranking for me. I could have easily put this five/ten spots higher and not felt guilty about it.

Someone who liked the last reveal won't like this one. For #21, we're back to songs with majority top half rankings. Included in there is one top 10 and two more top 15s. This song has two big outlier ranks in the form of a bottom 10 and a bottom 5. It was never in danger of leaving the top half, but it spent a fair amount of time in the top 20, so this rank is a relative disappointment.

Red gets his comeuppance by losing his first top 10 right after losing his entire bottom 10. Meanwhile, Lordef†ones is the second person to clear his bottom 10.

This is one of my top tens...I'm going to hope that it's my #10. Given that this was guaranteed to be one of my top ten rankings, this was the best possible option. I also wish it didn't come to this, but if I'm going to lose any of them, I'm glad it was this. This was such a cool discovery. Kick ass riffs all over the place. And now, just my favorite discovery remains among my three favorites.

Today's extras theme is Scene Redundancies, or, songs that I couldn't make room for without hurting the variety of the list. EXTRAAngel Witch Angel WitchShare your thoughts on this song below! NWOBHM has its own subsect of 'one-hit wonders'. Yes, metal didn't immediately kill off its own singles market. Some of the best early metal singles didn't even lead to their creators putting out albums. Luckily, Angel Witch didn't fall victim to the worst potential version of their career path. The chorus randomly gets stuck in my head every so often, even when I haven't listened to it in a while.

EXTRAMentally Murdered Napalm DeathShare your thoughts on this song below!As much as I love From Enslavement to Obliteration (to death ba-dum pish), you would have thought I was crazier than you already do if I tried to subject you to 3 grindcore songs. It was hard enough picking Terrorizer and Carcass songs I thought people wouldn't shut off in an instant; imagine if one of those...was this. Besides, 3 selections would have overstated the presence of grindcore in the decade. Although...man...I was inordinately tempted to sneak " You Suffer" in.

I know you said you liked all the songs, craziaskowboi , but I must say this was an odd...choice...for your #50. *rimshot* @humanshazam and I got a pair of perfect rankings out of it, so that's nice. I have a feeling "nice" isn't the word rowellfarm490 will use for this reveal, though. I liked this song, I promise, but the reason why I put this at the bottom was because it had a '70s metal sound in an '80s metal rankdown. Even though "Ace Of Spades" was released in 1980, it still sounded more like a harbinger of things to come, whereas this song sounded like a '70s leftover.

25. Harder Than Steel - Jag Panzer My biggest loss tonight. How can you all not love this. This is pure Metal Steel. Listen to that scream in the first verse. Classic Metal from 1984. I used to hang around with the older kids on my block just to listen to this music, and try to get high on Mary Jane fumes. :kii:

Angel Witch - Angel Witch FUCK YES!!!! Had you included this song, my top 5 would have looked slightly different. Not very good quality, but you can see the band in action on this promo vid.

#20-11. It's time to reveal the remaining songs that missed out on the top 10. Or, it will be time, in a short time, from now, so, not this moment, but soon. What to expect today: - One player will lose their #1 before the top 10!
- We snuff out 18 more top 10s, three of them #2s.
- 4 more people clear their bottom 10s.
- We fill in high SDs #7 and 9.

#20 has no top 10s, but all of its 5 top half rankings are at least top 20, and 4 are top 15. On the other hand, this has both a bottom 10 and a bottom 5; one of those ranks is a bottom 10 clearer. This song was a staple of the top 15 until it got dinged enough to land here. One of you may have thought this song would leave a fair bit earlier.
