You should be more sorry for dragging EL VY down 8D 8D 8D Not only that but it also performed better than "Painting (Masterpiece)" on Billboard when the latter did better on Mediabase, and I was ragging on it a bit because of that too. ah yes, Mr. Del Mar's "Masterpiece". You really wanted that one to succeed. ;) On Billboard specifically; I wanted it's ranking to be more on par with MB's (well, it at least did better than "Not Easy" though, a song I have little use for).

And if you have David Bowie in your bottom 50, I'll be judging you too

Going to start this now and try to finish tonight, but not submit till around the deadline. I want them to sink in a bit, so the first listens are a bit more evenly weighted.
I feel like I actually might enjoy this one the most even though I don't know a solid 60% of the songs. AAA is up my alley, but I never check it out because there is just so much that goes for adds there lol.
ETA: I hope Sturgill does well on this. I'm not sure how you guys are going to take to him?

I was around 30% done with my preference revealer and accidentally clicked out of it. :'(
I wish there was a way to save it.

I'm like a third of the way through the songs. Only song I haven't heard before that I really enjoyed was Ray LaMontagne

For some clues on my list:
1) I love my top 5 2) I really like #6 to #22 3) I like #23 to #51 4) #52 to #97 I find ok 5) #98 to #100 are garbage 6) All these, of course, excluding anomalies. I ranked some songs lower due to probable boosting by pop posters, and for those playing the Rock Danger Zone, you've been warned that I intentionally ranked other songs lower to get my revenge on them overstaying their welcome there. 3 of these songs are in my bottom 10. 8D

If White Flag isn't bottom 50, there's something wrong with you guys.

If White Flag isn't bottom 50, there's something wrong with you guys. What's so bad about White Flag? 1) There's literally nothing interesting about it, sonically, lyrically, or vocally. 2) It's essentially Fight Song Part 2, as rainie pointed out in the song's thread. 3) The song is painfully generic. 4) It should not have been a hit over other superior songs that deserved better, like "After Dark", "Don't You Cry for Me", "American Money" and "Help Me Out". Their follow-up single was better though. Partly why I'm ranking it low is also to exact revenge on what is happening in the rock Danger Zone now (though it's more mediocre than bad, I still want my revenge) 8D

I don't *love* "White Flag", but unless the songs I don't know in the lower third of the chart blow me away, it probably will be in my top 50. I think it has at least somewhat of an interesting sound musically, and that the lyrics at least have a little more going for them over something like "Fight Song". Overall, everything comes together in a way that's not outstanding, but still solid. I'll also probably be ranking some "meh" songs lower if I find them to be overrated on this board, by either pop OR rock posters.

My attempt to mash the two songs' lyrics This is my fight song Take-back-my-life song Prove-I'm-alright song I'll sing the fight song and Stomp through the halls louder than you I could surrender but I'd Just be pretending, no I'd Rather be dead than live a lie And I don't really care If nobody else believes 'Cause I'll burn the white flag

I hope Sturgill does well on this. I'm not sure how you guys are going to take to him? I see HandClap is rearing its ugly head again, so without listening to the rest it's likely between that and Sturgill Simpson for #100

I just submitted mine. Again based on my favorite AAA songs. I just stuck some good Alt songs in the top spots too. Also; I don't have to chart a AAA song on my own personal charts; to rank it high on this list. ;)

I'm actually planning to do a 2015 Alt rankdown, but disclaimer: the bottom 50 will not be very accurate since I don't have all of BDS' chart archives for that chart year and even so, it would be very time-consuming to add the numbers up again. The bottom 50 are just estimates by me. We'll start that rankdown after we finish this rankdown.

Now I have one more reason to rank White Flag low and that's because it beat a Deftones song in the Rock DZ.

I marathoned the entire playlist just now. I'll go through it again a couple times and then submit.

3/4ths of the way done with these songs. I actually like more than half so far.

Having gone through the entire list now, this confirms my suspicion that my tastes are moving a bit more towards AAA territory. There are definitely some gems in the lower half that I would have liked to see on the Alternative chart (maybe some of them could still make it). The top two-thirds of my chart is all enjoyable stuff, and there's only around a dozen songs that I outright dislike. By the way, "White Flag" did fall out of my top 50 after all, but that's just a testament to how good this list is. :)

Not that I need to justify my liking White Flag but the first time I listened to it I liked the verses, but I was put off by the chorus. So I understand people brushing it off as mediocre. I just revisited it a few months later and it clicked. I can't stand Fight Song for the record.

This chart had some of my favorite songs in past years and some of my most hated in years too. This will be fun.

Based on the lists I received, I think I know which song will have the highest Standard Deviation in this game.

Starting to get into listening to all of the songs I'm unfamiliar with. Hopefully I can get a list in the next few days.
ETA: There's a song that will likely land in my bottom 5 that's going to ruffle some feathers lol.
