I'm not going to do this one since I'm not too familiar with their discography. But I better see album tracks like "Antisaint" and "Still Runnin'" on here!
Also, thanks webinator for all you've done with this!

Honestly, I think I like their albums tracks more than their singles. There are plenty of hidden gems in their discography.

Agreed, I favored album tracks and lesser known singles except for two of their Top 5ers. Predictably this was one of the hardest ones to nail down though I give the medal for hardest ten to make to The Smashing Pumpkins.
I was pretty spread out among albums with their latest two being their only albums to not get represented. Not that I didn't like those records, but in my opinion they represent a decline(special regard s to Hunter Eats Hunter and Punchline though as they narrowly missed out, as did Don't Fake This)
Of course, Hats Off To The Bull is my favorite album by them and one of my favorite albums of all time so naturally that was very well represented.
Point #1: 1 Wonder What's Next: 1 This Type of Thinking: 1 Vena Sera: 1 Sci-Fi Crimes: 3 Hats Off To The Bull: 3

I didn't listen to everything by them as I had intended, only Point #1 and like half of Wonder What's Next, so I hope I didn't miss anything I'll regret. I had a hard enough time putting together a Top 10 list as it is.
1 from Wonder What's Next 2 from This Type of Thinking 2 from Vena Sera 3 from Sci-Fi Crimes 1 from Hats Off to the Bull (thought I would have had more from this one. I loved this album back in the day.) 1 from The North Corridor

Probably not a popular choice, but i found quite a few of the songs on Vena Sera, to be the rock style more to my liking. You could even say ; I got stuck to that album. I love the intros and faster; well known, melodic guitar riffs. I discovered "Clones" to be a new favorite of mine from this band. The; Depeche Mode Cover, just missed my list.

Pulse Top 10s#25 - Chevelle - Results
The vote came down to the wire, with The Red and Send The Pain Below trading the lead several times until the final ballot. The two big hits from Wonder What's Next separated themselves from the rest of the field, but the rest of the Top 10 was made up of a variety of tracks spanning the band's impressive discography. 14 posters decided to send in ballots for the final artist in Season 1, and songs from each Chevelle album made their mark on the rankings. RK | | Album(Year) | PTS | RP | MX | 1 | The Red | Wonder What's Next(2002) | 72 | 8 | 1 | 2 | Send The Pain Below | Wonder What's Next(2002) | 67 | 11 | 1 | 3 | Vitamin R (Leading Us Along) | This Type Of Thinking(Could Do Us In)(2004) | 44 | 6 | 1 | 4 | I Get It | Vena Sera(2007) | 43 | 6 | 1 | 5 | Take Out The Gunman | La Gárgola(2014) | 41 | 7 | 3 | 6 | Letter From A Thief | Sci-Fi Crimes(2009) | 40 | 8 | 5 | 7 | Face To The Floor | Hats Off To The Bull(2011) | 34 | 5 | 2 | 8 | Jars | Sci-Fi Crimes(2009) | 32 | 9 | 1 | 9 | Joyride (Omen) | The North Corridor(2016) | 31 | 6 | 2 | 10 | Hats Off To The Bull | Hats Off To The Bull(2011) | 29 | 4 | 1 | 11 | The Clincher | This Type Of Thinking(Could Do Us In)(2004) | 28 | 5 | 1 | 12 | Point #1 | Point #1(1999) | 22 | 4 | 2 | 13 | Shameful Metaphors | Sci-Fi Crimes(2009) | 21 | 3 | 1 | 14 | Sleep Apnea | Sci-Fi Crimes(2009) | 21 | 3 | 2 | 15 | Envy | Hats Off To The Bull(2011) | 18 | 3 | 1 | 16 | An Island | La Gárgola(2014) | 17 | 4 | 2 | 17 | Forfeit | Wonder What's Next(2002) | 17 | 3 | 5 | 18 | Panic Prone | This Type Of Thinking(Could Do Us In)(2004) | 14 | 2 | 4 | 19 | Comfortable Liar | Wonder What's Next(2002) | 13 | 4 | 6 | 20 | The Fad | Vena Sera(2007) | 12 | 2 | 2 | 21 | Same Old Trip | Hats Off To The Bull(2011) | 12 | 2 | 4 | 22 | Closure | Wonder What's Next(2002) | 11 | 2 | 3 | 23 | Paint The Seconds | Vena Sera(2007) | 11 | 2 | 4 |

That band caused a wide variety of different songs to be voted for. Only two voters chose the same #1 song. Everyone else was scattered.

Alright, it's time for the closing ceremonies of Season 1 of Pulse Top 10s! I tried to gather a few categories here that wouldn't be easy to just look up yourself or weren't really included in the results that I gave you. If you have any other ideas for interesting statistical categories, just post them below and I'll see if I can make a post this weekend adding those to these. Enjoy! Pulse Top 10s - Season 1 Statistics The Foo Fighters vote was determined through nominations before the start of the thread. The ballot for Beck's PT10 was for the Classic vote. Deftones was delayed to #19 due to the upcoming release date of Gore, the 20th artist (SSPU) was decided by adding the votes from the 18th and 19th ballots. Most Ballots Appeared on Without Winning # | | Ballots | Last Appearance | 1 | Nickelback | 12 | Stone Temple Pilots | 2 | Pearl Jam | 10 | Nine Inch Nails |
| David Bowie | 10 | Chevelle* | 4 | Coldplay | 9 | Deftones | 5 | The Cars | 8 | Silversun Pickups | 6 | The White Stripes | 7 | blink-182 |
| Jimmy Eat World | 7 | Chevelle* | 8 | Seether | 6 | Weezer |
| Death Cab For Cutie | 6 | Chevelle* |
| The Cure | 6 | Chevelle* |
| The Black Keys | 6 | Chevelle* |
*These artists appeared on the most recent ballot, and will return on the ballot at the start of Season 2. Most Points - Single Song # | | Artist | Points | RP | 1 | Say It Ain't So | Weezer | 195 | 23 | 2 | Interstate Love Song | Stone Temple Pilots | 151 | 19 | 3 | Everlong | Foo Fighters | 147 | 18 | 4 | Panic Switch | Silversun Pickups | 128 | 15 | 5 | When I Come Around | Green Day | 122 | 19 | 6 | Head Like A Hole | Nine Inch Nails | 121 | 15 | 7 | Undone - The Sweater Song | Weezer | 118 | 19 | 8 | In The End | Linkin Park | 117 | 16 | 9 | Lazy Eye | Silversun Pickups | 115 | 14 | 10 | Prayer Of The Refugee | Rise Against | 114 | 16 | 11 | Boulevard Of Broken Dreams | Green Day | 113 | 14 | 12 | Self Esteem | The Offspring | 111 | 14 | 13 | Basket Case | Green Day | 109 | 16 |

RP - Reporters (how many posters put the song in their Top 10)Non-Ballot Artists* In the spoiler here I listed the 75(!) artists that never made one of the ballots throughout the competition, but at the conclusion of Season 1 had at least some points contributing towards inclusion in the future. I listed them alphabetically and included them just so you had a general idea of how many different artists were competing to make one of these at once.

Just a suggestion, but I think the top 5 bands that appeared on most ballots without winning should automatically be the first ones to vote on for season two, just because they paid their dues.

Thanks for creating these stats, Web. They were super interesting. I didn't realize we had that many tournaments and that many people voting, but the game really took off well!

So it's been a while, but I'm now officially enjoying my summer and the idea of reviving Pulse Top 10s popped back into my head. I'm definitely open to bringing this back for a new season, but with Daryl hosting the Alt/Active year-end rankdowns as well as the newer album rankdowns and wheatsquares doing the rock tournaments, I'm not sure if another running game would be too much for the board or is needed. As for ideas for Season 2, I think moving to a reveal more like the rankdowns would build suspense and potentially be more interesting to follow. I'm also not against revisiting artists who have had albums drop since their last list if enough support a revamp or want to be included since they missed the first edition. Another idea is expanding the ballot from 10 to maybe a cap of 25 artists, and the max # of artists a poster can vote for from 3 to 5 or 10. Artist would then fall off the ballot if they got 0 votes, and have to be suggested to make it back in future editions. I typically don't like tagging people, but I wanted to get as many opinions as possible before making a decision. I tagged everyone who participated in at least 50% of the Season 1 rankdowns as well as a few rock posters around during Season 1 and still active who might be interested. Let me know your thoughts on any of this, I'm open to all suggestions! ~Webinator

Great, been missing this! Been hoping to have the chance to rank Chris Cornell (RIP) and his different bands discography together in one list (Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog, solo stuff). Would that be doable rather than treating each of his band as separate entity?
Another related suggestion to this: if a famous artist passes away, that they could jump the line and get ranked immediately (assuming artist is popular enough to want to be ranked).

Even with all of the rankdowns and what-have-you, I think there's a place for your Top 10s, too, especially since most of the artists and bands covered here won't get their own separate rankdown or tournament.
I feel like, with the Cornell suggestion, what would be really cool is if we devoted the first couple of Top 10s to his stuff. Don't know if Solo/Temple are doable, but Soundgarden and Audioslave definitely are. It would also allow for artist submissions to be reset and taken care of within the first couple of top tens for season two, if you're looking to do that.
I was also thinking that we could revisit certain artists/bands who had top 10s done for them in season one, with the caveat, as you mentioned, being that they have to have dropped an album recently. Even if we don't do that, there's tons and TONS of bands and artists we haven't covered yet.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! My worry about doing a full Chris Cornell list is there's so much material to go through that people won't be able to listen to it all in a few weeks so dividing it up might be best. I think kicking things off with Soundgarden is a pretty solid idea, and then maybe Audioslave next if the ballots still need to be recalibrated (or we could start with Audioslave and then maybe Soundgarden, whatever the majority prefers).
As for re-doing artists, the following bands from our first 25 ranks have released (or are imminently releasing) a new album since we did our lists: Green Day - Revolution Radio Linkin Park - One More Light Rise Against - Wolves Weezer - White Album Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Getaway Depeche Mode - Spirit Incubus - 8
also Muse and QOTSA among others (Beck?) seem to be teasing towards new material at some point, so there's definitely room to retread old ground. I'd prefer to mostly look forward but if enough people want to re-do an artist there's no reason not to.
Still plenty of time for others to weigh in before this launches up again, just kicking around some ideas for now.

I'd absolutely be happy to get back into Top 10s again as I loved this game along with the rankdowns and tournaments we've been doing.
In terms of suggestions, I can't really think of any. I do like that idea of each member voting for 25 artists of their choice, seeing which ones receive the most nominations, and then choose from a selection from there.
I would imagine that would really open it up to many different possibilities since there are hundreds of artists that we talk about on here, but would never get a chance. It would also give the opportunity for many of us to check out a specific artist's discography that they might not have anyway.

Don't think we really need to do another rankdown of Linkin Park since I doubt any new songs make the list lol
Anyways, I'm looking forward to this being back. I'm not too big on re-ranking some of the prior artists already, so maybe we could limit it to every 5th one we could dust up an older ranking and resubmit to see if things have changed? I just don't want to start with all the big names again. There are so many other bands we can work on first.
I agree that Soundgarden and Audioslave should be the first two rankings. Maybe we could lump Chris Cornell solo with Audioslave, and Soundgarden on its own?

Both of his bands have enough hits so we should have two different rankdowns.

If we'd be putting his solo stuff with Audioslave, we should put Temple with Soundgarden

Whilst it looks confusing (my head!), it does intrigue me greatly, so count me in if a season 2 comes to fruition.

Whilst it looks confusing (my head!), it does intrigue me greatly, so count me in if a season 2 comes to fruition. Glad you're interested, don't worry, at the core it's just listing your ten favorite songs from the selected artist in order and then voting on the next artist we do. It will make more sense once you see the form. Since it seems like we have a pretty decent base of support, I'm be opening a preliminary artist suggestion form. It's not required to participate in future Top 10s, but filling out a list will allow you to have an impact on which artists we can vote on in the future. I capped the list at 25 suggestions. Please list your artists in order of preference, which can help break ties for who makes the ballot. The artists can be from our past rankings or ones we haven't done yet. also don't feel obligated to list 25, I just wanted to leave room for the more ambitious posters to list all of their picks to help flesh out the list. To Suggest Artists for Season 2 - vote here! Once posters have had some time to weigh in (at least a week), I'll open the vote for Soundgarden.

I guess one of the reasons I would prefer if the different Chris Cornell songs rank together in one list is I'm truly curious how they will do against each other. Black Hole Sun will likely win in a Soundgarden poll, and Like a Stone will likely win in an Audioslave poll. But it's not clear which will be #1 if pitted against each other as both bands were so big, and could something like Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike sneak in for the upset? And not just about #1, but it'd be interesting to see how the different eras of Chris Cornell's career rank against each other.
Also prefer not to do ranking of repeat artists, we'll be submitting the same lists again.

I will say this: Pearl Jam's time better be coming soon. They were close way too often for them not to get their due at some point.
