Why do I start what I can't finish?

"The Catalyst" isn't an Active song at all, but I still rooted for it to do well. It still finished higher on the Alt rankdown, which is odd to me because the Active has so much less competition

Yeah, figured this song's days were numbered when Doc revealed that "Diamond Eyes" wasn't in his bottom ten. Patiently waiting for the Linkin Park song that finally gets into the top ten in one of these. Linkin Park sneaked into the top 10 at #10 in the Active 2014 rankdown with "Guilty All the Same". Oh wow, it DID, that slipped my mind. I thought that it just missed it. Should I rephrase my original statement to "Patiently waiting for the Linkin Park song that finally gets into the top five in one of these"?

If this song did THIS well, kind of wondering now how strongly "Wings of a Butterfly" will perform. Top 10, maybe? That could be a huge possibilty on my ranking. Depends how many Nickelback and Hinder songs are around.

Highest ranking on a Muse song for the second rankdown in a row.
Never question my Muse superfandom.

It'll probably stall out in the 30s on the Alt rankdown... how well did it do on Active? Ok I looked it up and it peaked at #20 on Active, compared to #19 on Alt, so it'll likely have enough year end points to make it

Ok I looked it up and it peaked at #20 on Active, compared to #19 on Alt, so it'll likely have enough year end points to make it It might have a shot at top ten for the 2006 Active RD. I wouldn't put it in my top ten, as there's some really good songs eligible for that year, but it remains to be seen how many of those songs will be polarizing. The other two songs rowell was referring to have to be one of the Shinedown songs and "Shameful Metaphors".

14. Lesson Learned - Alice in Chains This one easily made my Top 50. The up and Down effect of AIC's melodies really hit the mark on this song.

Hopefully 1 of those 4 is Again. He said remaining, so nope To clarify, 1 of the 4 songs is from an artist that only has 1 song remaining so that doesn't negate "Again" from being a possibility.

I rated If You Only Knew too low. I don't know why, but it's grown on me a lot lately.

13. If You Only Knew - Shinedown I'm betting the last of my top songs will fall before he hit the Top 10 songs here? Shinedown= Powerballads with balls. I Love this song.

Which means Diamond Eyes made the top 10!!! Edit: New Fang would be top 10 as well.

Not too disappointed or surprised by anything so far...other than Flyleaf missing the top 10. Was rooting for HIM as a potential dark horse top 10, but I'm satisfied enough with top 20. Should've lowered "Uprising" too in retrospect, good song but it isn't Active.
I believe I only have two songs in my bottom half left, but they're both in my 50s.

I stand corrected, both my #49 and my #51 will make the top ten.
Still a bummer that we were still close to every song in the top ten being in my top 25, though. :(

12. Flyleaf - Again Another classic here. I like Flyleaf. They didn't have the 80's hair metal vibe that I love ,from Halestorm , but I really dig Lacey's vocal tones so it made my top 20.
