whoa there I was not expecting a long rant poor word choice, I'll admit, came off more hostile then it should have. it was just supposed to acknowledge that I knew our lists would differ as soon as you submitted it so people don't think I'm taken by surprise by your rankings, because I can't have them think that I expected you to rank it high and look like I'm not as omniscient as I desire. my regrets. however, clearly you do care that I don't like your list, because you wasted all that precious time typing up that long rant over my feelings

Of course we'll rank things differently based on our own unique experiences and frames of references.

Mercy escaping bottom 10 is so surprising. The trick is used in Invincible already and I just don't like them reusing older stuff. Same for Psycho especially considering the riff is over 10 years old, and it is not even great. Also feel that the lyrics are dumb rather than bad***

Same for Psycho especially considering the riff is over 10 years old, and it is not even great. Also feel that the lyrics are dumb rather than bad*** Interesting that you use "Invincible" as the comparison song for "Mercy", when I think that it's "Starlight"-lite. Either way, it's just not a necessary song, to me. We already have better versions of either song. Okay...time to address what's been going on lately. Red, I am sorry to derail your rankdown with this post but I have to say all this because it hasn't been said in a way that has lead to any meaningful change. That's not your call to make. I don't care that you don't like that JuanCa and I participated. I took the time to actually listen to songs that I had never ever heard before. Many others did the same. I didn't have to. I could have ranked them without doing that. Others also take the time to listen to up 100 or more songs they have never heard before. Everything in life isn't going to be perfect just the way you like everywhere. It is completely unreasonable to have that expectation. It's also not written anywhere that certain people cannot participate. If you only want certain people to participate in certain rankdowns, you need to go and create your own forum or website and invite only those people to join in over there. Even then you're not going to guarantee that people will vote and rank the way you want them to. It's fun to see where and how the songs will place. And if someone does intentionally vote in a way that tanks songs you like, you have to just let it go and move on. You seriously need to grow the f**k up and stop acting a like a petulant child every time you don't get your way. I'm not surprised you still haven't learned from what happened in all of the other rankdowns when you said all sorts of stupid s**t that lead to you being banned. You were incredibly rude, disrespectful, and all around inappropriate. Just because Red may have said he likes that doesn't mean you should do it. It's unnecessary and it only serves to make you look unstable and foolish. I hope you learn from this and make better decisions. It was going to happen somewhere and at some point...I can't say that I'm surprised that it happened here. :kii: I'm also pretty much in agreement with you on just about all of this post. Just as an example, the fact is that I don't often agree with indulge when it comes to music outside of country. Does that bother me? Does that, somehow, make me think less of him? Absolutely not. Music taste is subjective. People listen to and enjoy different styles of music, and I'm also not going to force them to like the music that I like and suddenly make them dislike the songs that they DO like. If I can introduce them to songs that they wind up enjoying, that's cool, and I'd expect the opposite to be true! I want people to recommend me music that I haven't heard, to see if I may like or dislike that song. Sometimes, I'll really enjoy it, and sometimes, I just won't be able to get into it...but the discovery and search is what drives me with music these days. That's why I have a bit of a rankdown addiction, because I absolutely love listening to songs that I haven't listened to before, and I especially love when I discover a song that I really like through a rankdown or a tournament or what-have-you. That's not necessarily the case with everyone, but it is with me. Okay, now, let's deal with the elephant in the room: Green's rants. I will admit that I find them to be hilarious and entertaining, but there's a couple of caveats to that. First...sorry, Green, but I kind of find them to be hilarious and entertaining because they remind me of how I acted around that age. I'm just warning you ahead of time: You're going to come back to these posts in five years and you're going to cringe so hard. Trust me, I know this, because I did the exact same thing. I was just like you at that age, trying to get others to see things through my perspective, trying to get others to like the same music that I do. The second caveat is that I'm not the target of the rants most of the time. If I were to become a target, like you became a target, there's a chance that I might react similarly. Besides, I know something that everyone else doesn't know: The rest of your rankings. And there are still surprises to be had. Appearances can be deceiving.

Let's get past the drama for now and get back to the good stuff: Revealing Muse songs that didn't make the top ten! Not sure how long this update will be, I'm just going to kind of wing it and see how far I can take this before real life gets in the way (again).
#25 and I have a...very complicated history. Its history on this rankdown was not nearly as complicated. It stuck around in the 21-30 range for the entire rankdown, eventually finding its footing in the middle of that range, and, finally, ending up at #25. Fittingly, with how consistent this song was, we only lose two top tens and two bottom tens. Interestingly enough, though, we do lose a bottom five...and a pretty low bottom five, at that.

#24 is the single biggest surprise to me in the entire rankdown. I thought that this would be much higher, certainly not in the lower half of songs in this rankdown...but here we are, and that's where it ended up after briefly flirting with the top ten. We lose three top tens here, including two top fives, while we also only lose three bottom tens (with no bottom five losses). So, how did this end up below the top 20? One word/reaction: "Meh".

I love BH&Rs to death, but Invincible feels like the weakest song on there. Maybe it's because of the whole self-motivation thing, but still.

parts of "Dead Inside" Bellamy sounds so much like Bono. This showed up generally where I expected it to.

#23 is going to be a pretty momentous reveal for a couple of reasons. With these reveal, we lose five bottom tens, and, finally, the last #40 left to be revealed. Congrats, Juanca...you're about to be very happy in a few minutes. On the other hand, we lose just one top ten, but it's a huge one: Our first #1 loss of the rankdown. Who is it?...wouldn't you like to know?

Panic Station?
hmm maybe not, looking at the panel probably more than one poster has it in their Top 10. Seems like a polarizing song though. nvm I never said this.

lol shouldn't have second-guessed myself, thought Bangwave or one of the pop posters might have had it in the Top 10 too.

Okay, I missed a couple of reveals earlier today. 30. Dead Star - I was very surprised when I heard it for the first time. I mean, this is pretty much a metal song which isn't your typical Muse and it wasn't bad, I really liked the guitar but the singer just didn't sound good on it imo. 29. Uno - This was the weakest Showbiz song on the list, still it's a pretty damn good song. No complains here. Also, Matt Bellamy looked really young back then lol. 28. Cave - This was my 2nd favorite Showbiz song on the list, definitely deserved better. I just hope that my favorite one from it won't show up soon too. 27. Mercy - Decent song, but can be a bit boring sometimes. Not much to say here. 26. Supremacy - The "drop" is great but there's not much happening in the verses. 25. Invincible - It's a really nice chill song, but there were just better songs on the list. Hoping all of the other Black Holes & Revelations songs would stay for a while 24. Dead Inside - What? wow this is a pretty big surprsie for me, thought it would finish in the #11-15 range. The best song on Drones, it's just awesome. 23. Panic Station - Damn it This song is just so much fun, the bass guitar on here is great. My #37 isn't bad, but it's just weak compared to this one so I'm sad to see this is out before that one.

The singles of two albums have yet to be touched...until now. One of either Absolution or Origin of Symmetry will lose their first single at #22. This was a mainstay of the 21-30 range, never really having enough traction to make the top ten outside of a brief appearance early in the ranking process. With this reveal, we lose three top tens, including one top five, and we also lose five bottom tens, with none higher than #35. (Oh, and someone becomes the first to lose their entire bottom ten with this reveal.)

ouch, 2 from my Top 10 gone but thankfully only the bottom two. Still a lot more to clear out before digging into it more is necessary so let's hold off on that everyone.

#21 was actually fighting to stay out of the bottom ten at points during the ranking process, but it would, eventually, settle into a place somewhere in the 21-25 range, ultimately ending up just on the outskirts of the top 20. With this latest reveal, we lose three more top tens (including someone who just lost a top ten with the last reveal), and we also lose four bottom tens, though no bottom fives. Having said that, another person loses their bottom ten with this next reveal.

So, not only does it wind up finishing one spot ahead of "Hyper Music", it winds up finishing just one point ahead of "Hyper Music". Go figure. And Unhinged, congrats on becoming the second first to lose their entire bottom ten.

Hey, GUESS WHAT? IT'S NON-SINGLE/ALBUM TRACK TIME!
And now, let's keep going.
More often than not, #20 would hang out in the 19-22 range or so. This was a song that didn't really have a lot of ardent backers, with only two top ten rankings, but eleven people placed this song in their top 20. There were also four people who put this song in their bottom ten, with two bottom fives being lost here. Also, as it turns out, I kind of lied about somebody losing their bottom ten before now. THIS is where they lose their bottom ten. Sorry, Bangwave. Another person alongside Bangwave loses their bottom ten, as well.

Making one too many mistakes in this rankdown, but no matter. Bangwave, NOW you're cleared your entire bottom ten with this reveal. And hey, so have you, Rowell!
