I agree with the YT commenter, this is definitely a song to fight demons to.

I wanted to get into this, but it wasn't really my thing. Cool song title though.

#19 has just one top 10, but it's a 2. It has 5 top half ranks in total, 2 more being top 20s. This track used one asset in particular, other than the top 5, to travel this far: its lack of bottom 10 rankings, the first song to not have any. In fact, no rankings really come close. This song was either 20 or 19 for most of the later period of the game.

Could this be Ozzy?
Probably not, but worth a shot.

Listen, there are very particular things that tickle my fancy much more strongly in music than for anyone else. I get that. But, I'm happy this made it this far.

Okay, definitely don't agree with the YT commenter this time ("give Slayer a run for their money"? Okay...), but this was a good listen, definitely.

#18 was actually top 10 as late as 5 rankings in before support dwindled for it. One top 10, and three more top 20s. However, this song also has one bottom 10.

Woah, definitely one of the "less metal" songs on this list, but it was still great.

I knocked this out of the top ten. Ouch. I liked this quite a bit, though I do prefer songs like "Bad Reputation" to this.
"rap metal"...okay, YT, you're starting to get a little drunk over there.

#17 is the source of our 9th highest SD. We also see our first #1 loss. Part of the reason it could only get this far is the fact that no one else ranked it top 10, though 3 other members offered top 20s and 6 ranks are in the top half overall. The other reason is two bottom 10-clearing rankings. The owner of one of them in particular has been waiting for this to be eliminated for a long time.

My condolences, Doc Indie Party Rock. At least it was a good and interesting pick. And something with vocals this whacked-out leaving this late was a surprise anyway. Meanwhile, @humanshazam and peacebone both clear their bottom 10s-- peacebone's with his second awful bottom 10 in a row, but yea sure yippee for you

Doc, I'm impressed! This #1 was not what I was expecting from you, but I dig it.

#16 is a song I did not think would make it near the top 15. It certainly didn't look that way for a while, especially when it hit its low point at 39. It simply slowly worked its way up, mainly using its two best qualities: no bottom tens (though one rank comes close) and a staggering 5 top 20s, one being a top 10.

This might be Razor, but it has been a hell of a run for it, if it is.

At least I didn't drop it in the movements, right?
There were, like, 20 songs I could have ranked at a number of spots, and this was one of them. This was another solid listen.

#15 is another song with no bottom 10s. Not only that, it has a top 5 (possibly a surprising one?), another top 10, and two more top 20s. The track was established as top 20 early on, but never made the top 15 jump until very late.

One of the few rankings I genuinely feel conflicted about after the fact, because it's the one and only King Diamond.
Having said that...I'm content with clearing my bottom half before the top ten. :kii:

#14 gives us a frequently-seen pairing of one top 5, who has already lost a top 5 this round, and one top 10. It received 7 top half rankings in total, with 3 more being top 20. It also has a bottom 10 clearer, though. After said rank was the only time this song left the top half.

Congrats, rowellfarm490, but ugh, did it really have to be this song? At least we're not in 2007 Alt where a long-ass scream in the beginning will greatly hurt a song's score.

I should have had this at least five spots higher. This song is freaking badass.

#13 sees the first of our Active Rock RD returnees depart. Both of this song's top 10 rankings are top 5s, one being a #2. However, only one more ranking qualifies as top 15, and just two more as top half. One thing about this track that can be said to be a rankdown first is its lack of bottom 15 rankings. This song spent a decent amount of time in the top 10 late, before mediocre rankings beat it down.
