I don't care how many times the singer growls; its time to stop adding AMARANTHE's new songs to Active format forever..

[janinho]

I'm not complaning about AA. Denis Stoff sucks.

Lightning in the Sky > Faith

[janinho]

Amaranthe's new song Boomerang is even worse.

Thank you. I would have ranked this song two spots lower, but "Custer" and "Blank Space" were unlistenable.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

This is just Kid Rock hate. I admit to not being a fan, but this song had a bit of a Bryan Adams vibe to it. and we all could use a little T.P. on the radio.

[Daryl the Beryl]

Ok, we're done for now.

[janinho]

[Daryl the Beryl]

Amen was a song I should've ranked a bit higher (in the 70s-80s), but it's not that good of a song.

Jekyll and Hyde I don't hate as much as you guys do (I'll take that over "My Nemesis" imo) but I don't really care for it either.

[janinho]

Damn Alternative posters 

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

Compared to other Five Finger Death Punch; songs, Jekyll and Hyde is horrid.

Are you going to be posting this rankdown around this time. I got no problem with that. It's usually the time on full on connected to internet anyway.

[Daryl the Beryl]

No. It'll be posted earlier. It's only late today because I was still receiving lists then.

[craziaskowboi]

I don't give a damn; music is still my God, and my records are still Jesus Christ.

Just so you know, I think The Black Keys are insufferable douchebags, so I gave them a low ranking (not #100, though) out of spite, regardless of the artistic merit of their song. Clustered with them are other songs that imitate their sound, because the only thing worse than a douchebag is a wannabe douchebag. I'm also growing tired of all the high-pitched backing vocals behind the lead vocals.

I ranked some Alt Songs low too (Black Keys are one of them) and I generally dislike high-pitched Vocals most the time.


But I just realized that I shouldn't complain too much about Alt Songs and posters in this rankdown, because I pushed all the Active songs in the Alt rankdown.

The vast majority of Alternative songs are a bit blah to me, so I naturally ranked them very low too.
I am guessing the Alternative crossovers may be the songs with some of the highest deviations?

Bit surprised at Kid Rock being out so early. I find his songs to be a love or hate affair, but "First kiss" was definitely the former for me.
I definitely didn't expect "Amen" to be out so early either, but seeing "Sex metal barbie" out first was no major shock!

[Lordef†ones]

Can't believe kid rock squeaked out of the bottom 10 (must've had a trump fan in the midst?) Absolutely deplorable music. I'll literally take anything over that.

So many bad songs out and nothing from my top 50. That's surprising, actually but 3 remain from my bottom 10. I'm sure 94 will show up soon, 98 might make it to the 60s and 91 (probably unfairly ranked this lower than I should've) might last awhile

That could've been why it flopped

(they sent it to radio but it didn't even go the top 50)

[Daryl the Beryl]

Wouldn't be surprised if "Jekyll and Hyde" has the highest SD in the overall game, but there's one other song I foresee having a high SD as well. (not going to say what that song is though). If it's not this or that song, the highest SD should go to one of the Alt crossovers.

getting rid of Danny was Asking Alexandria's checkmate move. They are done now.

Danny's back in the band I heard

He is.  Saw the band in November at a show and Danny was fronting them again.

[Daryl the Beryl]

Google Docs spreadsheet is in the OP.

[Web]

Nothing I'm heartbroken over, I think my highest out was Wilson at #64. Surprised my #13 didn't show up yet though, figured it would be near the bottom.

Jekyll and Hyde would be higher if it didn't have that annoying answering machine recording on the verses.

Also I didn't even know we separated between Alt and Active posters, but if that's what we need for drama this time around, I'm in.

[aerodynamite]

Lmao there's barely a consensus on any of these songs. This is gonna be interesting.

Rock posters
Pop posters

What's next?
Tropical house soul posters and contemporary eurodance posters?
