Well that's not the only song we disagree on so I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I meant "Hero" by Skillet, don't know if you already listened it.

I did and I would've ranked it even lower than "Monster", but comparing our rankings for this RD there's a lot of other songs we disagree on.

"Slow Dancing In A Burning Room" isn't bad but it's not memorable compared to other songs of his.

I haven't listened to his whole discography but it's still my favorite out of the 50 or so I've heard. There's a few other songs on Continuum that come close for me though, like Vultures and Stop This Train.

Next elimination wasn't really a thing in the US but it was a huge hit in Europe.

There's a few other songs on Continuum that come close for me though, like Vultures and Stop This Train. In my opinion and I haven't listen to him in awhile either but I would say definitely Waiting On The World To Change, Clarity & New Light are my favorites from him. Stop This Train I agree is a great one from him and I would also say Shadow Days & Half Of My Heart are other good ones as well. He's got alot that I like but that's some of my songs that are memorable to me but I do know people like Slow Dancing In A Burning Room, I just don't as much.

Broken Strings is actually pretty underrated and my favorite from James Morrison.

Also while the previous eliminations were very closer together (435, 438, 446, 447, 448, 452, 456 points), this next song had a 66 points lead over Broken Strings.

And after eliminating one of the heaviest remaining songs, we go back to eliminating Adult-Alternative type rock songs. This one was a huge HAC hit.

Next up - November is rounding the corner so it's time for some sleigh bells (actually I think it might be tambourine?).

Ehhhh, I'll avoid the word wall this time. #30: I feel like people saw the name "John Mayer" and immediately ranked this song low. This might be the best song I've ever heard from Mayer. #29: Eh, this was fine. #28: Should I be surprised that gates ranked this top ten, given what he said early on in the thread? Probably not. This is what I was referring to when I said that things were going to go bad for me early. If anything, I'm pleasantly surprised this wasn't bottom ten. #27: I've never outright disliked The Fray (outside of one or two songs), but unless the song is "How to Save a Life" or, perhaps, "Cable Car", I don't really care about their music all that much. #26: Nah, Jet went out about where they should, for once.

I like this next song and wish it could've gone a little further. It kind of reminds me of Sting?
