You're basically boiling this down to "This game isn't fun unless everyone shares my opinions." Jesus. Not true. You're allowed to have different opinions, but when literally every song in my Top 10 is in the bottom 20 of yours, then it stems from something else. Like someone pointed out earlier, it's non-rock fans ranking rock songs. I as a rock fan don't barge into your pop rankdowns and rank all the poppy s**t low and all the heavy stuff high just because I'm a rock poster. The mistake you're making here is thinking that I listened to this set of songs and ranked them based on how you like them. I couldn't give less fucks about what you like. I ranked them the same way you did, by my own personal preference. The second mistake you've made is assumed I'd be upset if you participated in any other rankdowns besides the Alternative ones. I. really. couldn't. care. less. If you want to listen to 100 country songs and rank them, be my guest. The way I'd view that is you exposing yourself to new music and I would personally be more than okay with you or anyone else who chose to do that. This off-putting 'you can't be included unless you like what I do' mantra is ridiculous.

Yay a song that isn't WAW or OOTB got eliminated! That's rly the main thing I care about TBH, altho I like CWMN and wouldn't mind seeing it win either (especially since it seems way more likely then either of those two).

I was never too crazy about this song. Any Young The Giant song; would have looked better here.

IMO, it's not about rock posters vs. pop posters; there's plenty of variation within each group and plenty of overlap between the two. It's about how some posters habitually favor the more famous songs and snub the lesser-known tracks. Even in pop games, this happens all the time where underrated jams get shafted because they're "not as iconic" or "don't deserve to do as well" or whatever nonsense.

It's not that you're ranking his favs low, it's that you're ranking a genre you're presumably not a bit fan of. You may say you would be okay with him ranking a country rankdown but you may not feel this way if he ranked ur favs low and shitty bro country high.

nah, already released all that pent-up energy in the 2k15 rankdown. #9 is cool with me, also have more friends with T10 ranks this time around so that's a plus!

For me, these rankdowns should be a way to see which songs are more well-liked than others and provide an accurate representation of their general popularity amongst the people who have watched their chart runs for months and documented their path to the top and bottom. For others, it may just be a silly game they want to interfere in. It's all about interpretation.

It's a shame that these games could be viewed as a way to open people up to new music but instead it's just a bunch of whining because not everyone has the same opinions. I'm just glad this petty us vs. them BS doesn't happen in any of the other rankdowns that I've seen.

really wouldn't mind if any of the remaining songs won, though anyone other than Lorde and Bastille would be favorable imo. Also not expecting either of the heavier songs to take it, but who knows?

Meh, not a bad song but I never really understood the universal love for this one I love Bad Suns, but I kinda agree on this. This definitely ranks among my least favorites on their debut. My #19 ranking aside lol.

QOTSA is just #11, but Lorde made it to the top 10 in an alternative rankdown. Yeah... WHY NOT HAVE BOTH? At least that's how it should be. Damn popsters..

"Cardiac Arrest" another great tune, but I think I like other songs on that album even better. "Dancing On Quicksand" had an awesome way to sneak in the phrase "phucked up" without sounding angry. "Pretend" was even an even better song.

What's so good about it?

I'm just glad this petty us vs. them BS doesn't happen in any of the other rankdowns that I've seen. to be fair, it's like one or two rock posters doing the "whining" and then you and one or two others responding to them, so I think you're making it a bigger deal than it is. Plenty of people are just following along and rooting for their own picks and giving their immediate reactions. That's pretty much what I've seen in every single rankdown across the board.

Dammit, I was secretly hoping that if nobody mentioned "Cardiac Arrest" it would somehow wind up at #1, and we'd all be like "Woah, what a surprise. I love this song", and then we all pat ourselves on the backs and gets drinks after.

The rest were borderline disgusting, but that one was just boring. What's so good about it? Everything, the flow, the energy, feel good moment, happy, when Im depressed, listening to it makes me happy. Whats not to love about it? I dont see any boring in that song in my opinion.

I think maybe you're missing the point if you think it's unfair for me to rank a set of songs by my own personal preference and that alone.

Looks like it didn't matter either way... :(
