#18, like #19, spent every movement in the top half, and it also spent some time in the top ten early. Its fate WAS supposed to be to place in the 11-15 range, but that changed late. In fact, it wound up in its lowest position right at the end.
And from one top half high, we move to a new one with the next reveal, as this song has ten top half rankings. Just two are in the top ten, though one is a top five. Three more bottom tens will also get out of the way, and one will be clearing their bottom ten.

No, seriously, my luck has changed. It has taken a shaaaaarp turn down. But hey, at least I ranked this Rush song higher than the two people that are supposed to be bigger fans of Rush than I am, right?
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, Geometrical. See #19.

#17 did not spend every movement in the top half. In fact, it almost spent as much time outside of the top half as inside, though it never strayed too far from the top half. It spent just about every movement in a tiny seven spot range...except for one movement, where it was significantly higher.
Ten more top half rankings are getting to the end of their journey, but at least only ten of you are losing a top ten, right? Meanwhile, three bottom tens come off the board, including a bottom five. One poster also clears their bottom ten.

The song that defined Rock Band for me. I can't think of that series without thinking of this song in the intro cinematic.
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, commerce196.

There is no preview I could have thought up that wouldn't have given this song away. When this song re-entered the top ten, I won't lie to you, I actually thought it would stay there. Nooooope.
My condolences, @humanshazam, peacebone, and commerce196...but I think you might have had a feeling that this would happen.

Let's move away from that "excitement" and get to the next reveal, #15. This song spent a little time outside of the top half, but it also spent a couple of movements in the top ten fairly early. In the end, it settled into a spot somewhere in the teens.
Eight top half rankings will be taking a break, with half of those posters taking an extended vacation after their top ten rankings say goodbye. All of them are top fives, and one is a very, very high top five. Two posters also lose a bottom ten, with one bottom five giving an extra middle finger.

#14 only spent one movement in the top ten, and I'm, honestly, a little surprised by that fact. It even spent a couple of non-consecutive movements in the bottom half.
All but six posters will see a top half ranking fly away, with four top tens and one top five moving quite a bit faster. Two bottom tens also accompany this song, but one is a decently low bottom five.

I can't decide what is more surprising: That someone thought to rank this dead last, or that Doc Indie Party Rock didn't rank this song top ten.

Our last important standard deviation before the top ten awaits us at #13, particularly the third lowest SD. This song spent the entire rankdown in the top 15, though its destiny appeared to be decently higher than that at first. Despite spending about as much time in the top ten as it did outside of the top ten, it ended up here in the end.
All but five posters will watch a top half ranking disappear, though just three posters will also lose a top ten. One is a top five, though. Meanwhile, one poster will be the lone bottom ten holdout.

God, I was rooting for this song. I thought this would end up being the little song that could, but it just didn't get there. Perhaps the best example of what happened when someone mastered the excesses of the 70's.

#12 and #10 are separated by less than ten points, so we're really hitting the top ten contenders now. This is, I believe, the first song in this rankdown to spend more time in the top ten than outside of it. Despite that fact, it never reached the top five.
All but five posters are losing a top half ranking with the reveal of #12, but every one of this song's six top 15s are also top tens. Once again, there's a lone bottom ten holdout...but it's also one of our last bottom fives.

This song's run was fun to watch as it happened. I kept thinking to myself, "There's no way this song makes the top ten...surely." But, as you'll see in the movements, it was in the top ten in the second-to-last movement. It was THIS close to doing just that.

So, what song just missed the top ten? Well, #11 didn't reach the top ten for the first time until after the halfway point. When it did, though, it was always right on the cusp of being top ten. It was also top ten at the end...until it wasn't.
Again, just five posters did not rank this song in their top half, and four more top tens will escape the rankdown premises. Two posters will lose high top fives right before the top ten. Two posters will also shed bottom tens, both clearing their bottom tens.

When this song pushed its way into the top ten, I thought it would stay there. Instead, it struggled with inconsistency. Still, after crazi's ranking, I thought this would make the top ten fairly safely. Then Lordef†ones happened.
Congrats to the aforementioned Lord and @humanshazam on clearing their bottom tens juuust before the top ten. And I mean "juuust". The song at #10 is a single point ahead of #11.

THE TOP TEN
Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song
Derek & the Dominos - Layla
Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)
Fleetwood Mac - Dreams
Talking Heads - Psycho Killer
Pink Floyd - Money
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Iron Maiden - Wrathchild
David Bowie - Suffragette City
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
Any surprises in the top ten? What about songs you're disappointed to see miss the top ten?
My #1 made the top ten. What song is it?
Will one of the non-Journey vets (Derek & the Dominos/Buzzcocks/Fleetwood Mac/Talking Heads) win?
Have any other predictions?

30. Aerosmith - Sweet EmotionI seriously thought I would lose this yesterday just because they are Aerosmith. oh because the hotness of the music video. They actually made a music video fitting of all the glam rock love of the era. One of MTV's top videos on MTV TRL for many weeks and my favorite of the time. 29. Edgar Winter Group - FrankensteinYou guys screwed a great song here. Aptly titled "Frankenstein" this song featured many different sounds and effects. R2-D2 bleeps, lasers, cowbell. It had it all. The ones in the solo breakdown are the best. 28. Bob Dylan - Tangled Up in BlueBob goes down on my list as one of the worst rock vocals in history. Right up there with Kurt Cobain. Damn this was a sour listen. 27. The Doobie Brothers - China GroveHonestly I love the intro of this song. Soon after? Not so much. 26. Hawkwind - Master of the Universevery cool Metal guitars, but the vocals were a bit too add for me to get into. 25. The Guess Who - American WomanWhat did I say? There goes another top 10 classic I ranked super high. This is one of my favorite Rock songs of all time. My dad hand me down the 8 track tape of this and the vinyl as well. 24. The Doors - Touch MeThis is also not my favorite Doors song or else it would have been in my top 10. Morrison is still my rock vocal god tho. Right up there with Scott Weiland. 23. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Up Around the BendI really only like a few songs by this band. 22. Wings - Band on the RunThis is one of those Paul songs that sound too "Loveboat" and "Love American Style" theme music for me. At least the intro part did. 21. Gerry Rafferty - Baker StreetI never found much use for this song. 20. Boston - Foreplay/Long TimeBoy am I going down on the closeness list after this. Boston ios the motherload of Album rock. You all must have listened to it on those weak cell phone speakers. I listened to it on my shatter window proof stereo system that has inspired more complains that the dogs barking. This song features my two favorite instruments in the world perfectly. The Electric Guitar and the synths. I guess you have to be over 40 to appreciate the Epic ness here. 19. Queen - Stone Cold CrazyReally? Was this too Heavy metal for you all, or was the song too long to keep your interest up? Geez Queen can catch a break. Just like I predicted. half my Top 10 gone in one night.18. Rush - Working ManMore or less where i thought it would end up. Its good, but its no "Spirit Of The Radio". 17. Deep Purple - Highway StarStill too low. Boy peeps are really afraid of Heavy MEtal. 16. Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's DeadI'm not a fan of this. 15. Steely Dan - Do It AgainNot bad. 'nuff said. 14. Dio - Holy DiverThis one hurt not to put in my top 10. At least I didn't just lose another top 10 song. 13. Electric Light Orchestra - Turn to StoneNever thought this would end up this high. I feel its just a bit more acceptable for many here than the Heavy Metal songs on this list. I love this one, but than I also have ELO greatest hits on Vinyl. 12. Jethro Tull - Aqualung Great song. Heavy staple on classic Rock radio format. 11. The Who - Who Are YouThat's what I would like to know? Who the hell are you people? Lost another top 10. I went form 9 top 10's to what 2 remaining. I might as well log off now.  |

Any surprises in the top ten? yes and no. Just another popularity contest. The Buzzcocks are surprising. If anything just because the word "Cock" appears in their name.  What about songs you're disappointed to see miss the top ten?Really bummed out about Boston, The Guess Who and Queen. You guys suck.  My #1 made the top ten. What song is it? "Wrathchild"Will one of the non-Journey vets (Derek & the Dominos/Buzzcocks/Fleetwood Mac/Talking Heads) win?Not bad songs, but i hope not. Have any other predictions?The hell with it. Let's just give it to David Bowie and salvage what's left of the RD.

Add "Bela Lugosi's Dead" to my favorite first listens ever. Even at nearly 10 minutes long, I loved every second of it!
Solid top ten. I'm glad my #1 made it. To me the most surprising song left is "Layla" but I'm cool with it being here nonetheless.
