Mmkay this is a classic. "Fancy" better not go anywhere anytime soon. I know it has 3 #1 ranks (and at least 1 more top 2) so hopefully that gets it into the top 20

And that's that for the first set of reveals! If this set seems a little "boring" (I'm not sure why that would be the case, but still, humor me here), wait until we get into songs 30-21. Two songs lose #1s, arguably the biggest surprise of the entire rankdown happens here (I was floored by where this song ended up, seriously...and it may not be the song you think it is), and we lose one of my top 5. Color me excited by that. (Smell the sarcasm?) Also, we lose the two remaining highest standard deviations, as well as another of the lowest standard deviations.
If only Green were still here. This rankdown's about to get a little messy. :kii:

"Fancy" has gotta be the highest SD then, unless it's not as hated by many as the other country songs.

Should've done this one. Plenty of great artists. Just tag me anyways. FOAL is GREAT.
I hope Good Vibrations makes it pretty high. Love The Beach Boys.

Ugh, my least favorite of the three country songs on here is the one that finishes highest.
I wasn't expecting it to go really far, but I wasn't expecting "Kiss Them for Me" to be in the bottom 10 either. :( Such a gorgeous and exotic-sounding song.

I wish you had chosen Portishead's "Machine Gun", I'd be one of the few to rank that favorably. But "We Carry On" is just TOO out there for me. Glad to see "Freak on a Leash" gone too, I know I'm a rock poster but old-school Korn, I just can't do it. "Do the Evolution" was raised several points for its music video alone. No hard feelings on the country and rap being low, and I see a lot of the rock songs that were near the bottom of many lists were in my middle. But "Kiss Them for Me" this low, that is a tragedy.

honestly "He Stopped Loving Her Today" is one of the greatest written songs of all time imo. It may be slow but the emotions and the story is incredible. If you couldn't get past the fact that it is country and it is slow you did yourself a disservice
I've always loved "Midnight In Montgomery" though I did expect it to be the lowest of the 3 Country songs. I also expected "Fancy" to be the highest of the 3 country songs
My top 2 does not feature country at all but the rest of my top 5 were the 3 country songs so I am definitely rooting for "Fancy" to last a while longer!
Was never a fan of "Freak On A Leash". I remember when it first came out I tried getting into it and while it isn't horrible it was just there for me. Glad it is out. The other songs did nothing for me really so not too concerned with any of the other eliminations thus far

Nooooooo not He Stopped Loving Her Today. This song is such a classic and it would deserve better. I hope that Fancy makes it to top 20. I'm glad to see Freak On A Leash and We Carry On gone already. This two songs along with a few other were unlistenable for me. About Pearl Jam song - I didn't like this one since it was too heavy for me but I like some of their other songs.

Sad to see George Jones and Alan Jackson couldn't escape bottom 10, but yay @ Reba doing it! Speaking of which, ew @ people not liking "Fancy." So far the reveals have been pretty good for me though, as a lot of my bottom ranks have made early exits.

Hey, we're going to be doing another update later tonight, but I wanted to take care of a couple of things that I wanted to do from the beginning. First things first, and it's a biggie: SPREADSHEET! I'll probably update the spreadsheet after every set (not every song, because it might take forever to post the songs otherwise, knowing my slow ass ). Go to the bottom of the post to see the spreadsheet.
I also have some stats that I was hoping to have from the get go, but I wanted to get this rankdown started as quickly as possible, so they were left to the wayside. No longer...

We're getting started tonight, of course, with #30, and, for many people, this is going to be the song that's going to inspire the biggest reaction, good or bad. #30 is the song with the highest standard deviation in the entire rankdown. Eight top tens go out with this song, including a massive three #1s, while twelve bottom tens go out here, including a rankdown-high SIX #40s. To be fair, though, considering how this song started...it is amazing that it got out of the bottom ten.

Also, let me stress...while this is my #40, every song in this rankdown is ****1/2 (or 4.5/5) or better for me. I love every single one of these songs. I even considered putting "Freak on a Leash" below this.

Well, there isn't going to be an easy way to segue into the next reveal, so...#29 is next. :kii: #29 was a staple of the bottom ten toward the end of the ranking process, before the last couple of rankings helped it to escape a final bottom ten place. We lose four top tens here, including two top five rankings, as well as nine bottom tens, though no #40s.

This rankdown was interesting because it had some of my least favorite songs by some of my favorite bands. This TV On The Radio song is one of those. Just never really got into it.

Like "Staring at the Sun", #28 was a staple of the bottom ten throughout the ranking process, but it was able to get a boost in the last couple of rankings and was, thus, able to get out of the bottom ten by the time the rankdown was finalized. Kind of surprised that the standard deviation wound up being as high as it was (though nothing too crazy, just a 10 SD), given that there were only three top tens and five bottom tens.
