Welcome to the AFI rankdown! So AFI have not done a top 10s list before, and with their album just released in January, I decided to do an AFI rankdown! So here's how it works: 1) PM me the songs in the list below, all ranked to your preference. (e.g. if you like a song the most, rank it the highest and vice versa). 2) The points a song has will be totalled up based on an inverse point system. So if you rank a song #20, it gets 1 point, and if you rank a song #1, it gets 20 points. All the points from the responders will be totalled up. 3) The due date is May 31, 11PM Eastern time. 4) A poll was conducted before the rankdown started. Some here like Davey Havok's side projects like DREAMCAR and Blaqk Audio as well, and may want to include them in as well. (if that's the case the rankdown will also be renamed) The poll closed on Wednesday, May 16, 1AM Eastern Time. The referendum was 8-5 for not including the side-projects. 5) In addition to submitting the list of the 20 songs, you are also allowed to submit a ranked list of up to 10 non-singles, and you can also state where you'd put them in between what singles in the overall list. There are 20 singles (so far), all obtained from Wikipedia. If I have missed any single, please post below. Totalimmortal The Days of the Phoenix Wester Girl's Not Grey The Leaving Song Pt.

My favorite AFI song isn't even here. Why not do it as a Pulse Top 10?

I'm excited for this one. It be cool to include DREAMCAR and Blaqk Audio, but not at the expense of AFI songs. Will you keep it at top 20 singles or extend it?

Referendum is 8-5 for not including singles from Davey's side projects.

Someone just asked whether we should count ...But Home Is Nowhere and This Time Imperfect as separate songs. Please do.

Depending on how many people send in non-singles lists, that could be an ultra-competitive list by itself. It can be argued that their album cuts are just as good, if not better than their singles.

Based on the thread's name; I guess this is just AFI singles?

Based on the thread's name; I guess this is just AFI singles? Yup, you can also rank up to 10 other non-singles in a separate list (this is optional and if so, you are to submit both lists to me)

This one is gonna be hard. Gotta listen to many songs at least 3 times to make right choice. Oh you can be sure I'll submit that non(should have been) singles rank too.

Just submitted my singles list. It's been a damn long time since I've listened to AFI's older material. Forgot how damn good of a band they are after hearing all of the singles in a row.

FYI, this is a great opportunity to listen to "Answer That and Stay Fashionable" and see how far they've come. This should be a fun list.

Nailed #20. I just find it to be the most uninteresting of their singles. I ranked "White Offerings" # 18; which is close enough. Again; It's not particularly melodic. Even their earlier Punk songs had more melody.

Is this a joke? What the fuck? Maybe you liked The Offspring's cover better, I don't know. That one actually charted, at least.
