In regards to "Youth Without Youth", those vocals are so goddamn grating. I could barely make it through. If there were decent vocals, I would have been nicer (the music was boring too).
My same issue with Silversun Pickups: the vocals.

Natalie Maines doesn't have that annoying of a voice, it's not overly obnoxious

Glad my Top 2 made it top ten. I'm definitely not the only person to put my #1 at number one so I hope it pulls through. My #2 I doubt has a chance, that one is pretty obvious.

I can understand people being sick of Madness as it got played to death (although I love it still), but what's with all of the BK hate??? they don't deserve it

Confusing Natalie Maines for the lead singer of Metric? Oh she's definitely not ready to make nice now.

I'm rooting for either my #5 or #11, and I'll be pretty annoyed if my #96 makes top 5

25. Don't Stop (Color on the Walls) - Oh finally this is out, I didn't know it was loved on here. It was pretty annoying with the very repetitive hook. Their worst song from what I've heard. 24. Not Your Fault - Yea I kind of underranked this one, the instrumental on the chorus is really nice but his screaming vocals on the hook doesn't really fit it imo. 23. Bridge Burning - Okay nice These Days placed higher. It's a good song. 22. Youth Without Youth - I'm surprised it did better than Breathing Underwater. It's good, but I thought BU was much better. The guitar on the chorus is really good. 21. 45 - I thought it was pretty good but I didn't enjoy it as much as some other songs, but I probably should've ranked it 10 spots higher. 20. Disparate Youth -It's a good song but I didn't find what's so amazing about it. The beat is cool though. 19. Kill Your Heroes - Happy that it made it this far, probably my favorite of them from what I've heard. I thought his voice fits this one and the hook is really fun. 18. Punching in a Dream - Again, I just see them as a weaker version of CHVRCHES. I don't really like the singer's voice but the beat is nice. 17. Satellite - I'm honestly really happy it made it this far. When I saw that Wait For Me is out at #40 I thought this one would be out soon. This is such a great song and my favorite discovery on here. The hook is really good. 16. It's Time - Lol I feel like I ranked this in so many rankdowns already. It's a great song and I'm happy with its place. 15. Burn It Down - Didn't expect this to make it so far, but definitely happy with that. One of their better songs. 14. Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings) - Another nice song by them. I really like the singer's voice and this song is fun too. I'm okay with where it placed. 13. Gold on the Ceiling - I didn't know that this and Lonely Boy were that much better than Little Black Submarines? It's one of their best songs though and I'm happy it made it this far. I thought it was better than Lonely Boy. 12. Madness - Oh wow this unexpected. Yea I get the hate for this but I just really enjoy it the breakdown at the end is awesome. 11. Lonely Boy - I thought it was their weakest song on the list but I'm fine with its place. That video though lmao.
Ranks remaining: #1, 4, 9, 12, 13, 17, 24 33 66, 69
Really glad that my #1 is still in. I would be happy if any of my #1-33 win this.
Top 10 prediction: 1. Little Talks 2. Midnight City 3. Lights 4. These Days 5. Somebody That I Used to Know 6. Shake It Out 7. Cough Syrup 8. Anna Sun 9. Take a Walk 10. Trojans

I actually ranked "Madness" higher than in 2013 after revisiting it, and it still missed the top 10 (not that I'm complaining though).
The best part of "Satellite" is easily the bridge.
My #68 should be easy to guess if you read some of my posts here and in the 2013 rankdown.

34. Monarchy of Roses - It's solid, best single from I'm With You, but still not one of my favorites from them. Glad it wasn't top 20 or anything. 33. Face to the Floor - Another solid but not great one; I've heard better from them, plus I'm not as enamored with Chevelle as a lot of others are. Definitely one of the best Active songs in the rankdown though. 32. Reunion - Love this song. Deserved better but I'll take it. 31. No Light, No Light - Florence is very hit-or-miss with me, and this is one of the misses. Should've been gone a long time ago. 30. Sleep Alone - It's okay but not one of 2DCC's better ones. Didn't deserve to be this high. 29. Hats Off to the Bull - Same thoughts as FTTF basically, except I liked that one a little better. Glad these songs missed top 20. 28. Runaways - Didn't expect this to perform so well after seeing how "Miss Atomic Bomb" did in 2013. This is a little better than that one, but still one of their weakest singles, and did not even deserve to be top 50 let alone top 30. 27. Aberdeen - Top 10 for me, but I wasn't expecting it to do better than this, so I'll take it. 26. Little Black Submarines - Meh, too close to "Stairway to Heaven" (which is overrated in the first place) for comfort. Should have been out a while ago. 25. Don't Stop - Landed very close to where it belongs. Glad "Helena Beat" is higher than this, but I'm afraid I won't be ranking that above "Pumped Up Kicks". 24. Not Your Fault - Also close to where it belongs. 23. Bridge Burning - Another top 10 down. I guess it did about as well as I expected considering it's not pop-friendly. 22. Youth Without Youth - Pleasantly surprised this managed to rank a few spots higher than where I put it. 21. 45 - Definitely a better Springsteen homage than "Runaways". Landed close to where it belongs. 20. Disparate Youth - Very pleasant surprise that this made top 20, and only three spots below where I put it. 19. Kill Your Heroes - My favorite AWOLNATION song. Another top 10 down, but still glad this made top 20. 18. Punching In A Dream - Sorry, this one really annoys me. Don't get the fuss over it at all. 17. Satellite - Not surprised it did well (at least it's not top 10), but this is way overrated. 16. It's Time - I probably should have ranked this lower. It's solid, but doesn't deserve top 20. 15. Burn It Down - Don't think this deserved top 20 at all, but I'm not surprised. Though I do like it more than "Lost In The Echo". 14. Bloody Mary - Another good but overrated song. Glad it's not top 10. 13. Gold On The Ceiling - Surprised at all the hate I'm seeing for this. I ranked it a little lower than this, but I'm not complaining about its ranking. 12. Madness - Never cared for this one. Another one I'm pleasantly surprised to see miss the top 10. 11. Lonely Boy - I like GOTC a tad more than this, but they were both ranked pretty closely for me, and I'm cool with both in the top 20. I'm pretty cool with how the top 10 is looking. Don't think "Cough Syrup" and "Trojans" deserve it, but I'm not surprised at how well they did. "Lights" in the top 10 is definitely better than I expected.
