Damn. I thought "Amsterdam" was more than a lock for #1.

Oh, right, of course Daryl would put this bottom ten. :kii:
1 vs. 4, and I can't say that I expected my 1 to be in this spot.

DLZ vs. Helena Beat. It's ridiculous how close these two are. #2 has more top 5 ranmings than #1 but it was the lowest ranking that really decided the victor.

:o
Helena Beat was a song I didn't even think would make the top 5 and I've never even heard DLZ. To say I'm shocked about this final two is an understatement.

lol, poor Will.
Also, holy crap, "DLZ" won?! Wow.
There were some bumps along the way, but I feel that you did a good job hosting this, Lord. Hosting rankdowns is hard, and you did a fine job with it.
Oh, and, of course, P-P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING!

Oh wow, I certainly didn't expect Helena Beat to have all those #1s from rock posters, including being Daryl's #1. It's a good song, don't get me wrong, but it's nothing special and it's pretty similar to Pumped Up Kicks.
And congrats to DLZ! I don't recognize it by name but it looks like it was in Breaking Bad so I may remember it when I hear it!
Also omg just realized DLZ won by ONE. POINT.

Thanks everyone for participating! It was fun being in the driver seat of a rankdown but I'm not sure if I'll be doing it again any time soon. Just don't have the time for it.

Awesome surprise winner, I also thought Amsterdam would pull it off. Love DLZ, probably my favorite TV On The Radio song and happy to see it beat out Helena Beat!

I'm proud to have prevented Amsterdam from winning. Besides I don't even dislike it, but the constant raving about the song made me like it less. Similar to how James felt about Pretty Pimpin except that I don't hate the song.
Also, take this as my revenge on you guys not being able to appreciate the beauty of Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver. :p

Always nice to have a surprise winner, even if the #2 was a little higher on my list. (also, P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING! on Helena Beat) I didn't even peg DLZ as making the top 5.
Thanks for hosting, Lorde!

"DLZ" was a solid first listen. I like the surprise winner.
