Therrrre it is :(
I used to be a HUGE LP fan (and I still do like them) and after listening to all their albums, came to the extremely unpopular conclusion that A Thousand Suns is my favorite album by them and The Catalyst is in my top 5 favorite songs by them. It's burned on me a bit since then and doesn't sound as good out of context of the album, but it's still a fantastic song that gets waaaaaay too much hate.
Anyways I legitimately thought this would get out in the bottom 20 so I'm super happy about how far it made it, but I was really pulling for it to sneak into the top ten.

15. The Catalyst - Linkin Park Thank goodness this didn't make the top 10. It saved itself from my bottom ten, but it's still horrible.

Talk about weird chart runs, "The Catalyst" was #1 for 4 weeks and spent 13 weeks on the chart

16. Ready to Start - Arcade FireSurprise surprise. I wasn't into this band at all, until they released "Reflektor", because the style of music was way different. What do you think of " Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)"? It's from the same album as this song, but it's straight up synthpop. It also happens to be one of their best songs. That's awesome, but it isn't on this rankdown. I also didn't know of its existence til tonight. I will certain;y rank it high when it comes around.

I know this, because I LOVED this song when it was first released, only for it to burn on me pretty quickly for a LP first single, probably the quickest any LP first single has done that. "Heavy" doesn't count because I didn't love it at any point.

Holy shit! I just saw that I took some major hits to my top 10 tonight. Including 3 of my top 10, my #1, and my favorite musical chairs music video. >

That's interesting because it was the complete opposite for me -- I initially thought it was mediocre, but after listening to the album repeatedly it gradually grew on me before becoming #2 on this list quality.

That's awesome, but it isn't on this rankdown. I also didn't know of its existence til tonight. I will certain;y rank it high when it comes around. Unfortunately, while it was released as a single (the 6th and final one from The Suburbs), it never charted. :(

Yesssssssssss
God this used to get so overplayed back in the day. I didn't like it then, I really didn't like it after it was shoved down my throat, and if anything it's even worse now.

I never stopped liking it, I just got tired of listening to it all the time. Three 70s down, one to go. And now, we wait (a while).

14. Tighten Up - The Black Keys here is a song I'm sick of seeing on this rankdowns , and it isn't all that great either. . If it comes around again, I'm shooting it 10 slots lower.

Thinking the 3 that miss the top ten will be Impossible, Your Decison. and Resistance (in no order).

Well, this means that either Alice in Chains, Anberlin or Chevelle made Top 10, so I'm happy. Hoping for all three but I'll be realistic.

Oh, apparently, I was wrong, Tom. You shouldn't be running from me. You should be running from Leaf. (Hell, you weren't even one of the bottom five rankers on "Crossfire". No running from anyone for you, sir!)

Aww, maybe I was being too optimistic when I thought that this would make the top 10, but I thought it would be well loved amongst almost all the rock and pop posters. Guess not :(

Just looked it up and I'm disappointed to know that "Gimme Sympathy" did not chart on Alt - I always thought it did and it's my favorite Metric song i've heard
