My #38 is a song that has significantly grown on me since I relistened to it for this rankdown, and I'd place it in at least my top 20 if I had done the list today. Hope that won't make too much of a difference. alright, I'm going to somewhat hope that the margin between Snuff and #7 is at least 20 points

With this reveal, "Say You'll Haunt Me" has beaten its 2011 Active performance.
Also, back-to-back perfect rankings was just too good to be true.

I started typing that before New Fang was revealed...I was expecting Say You'll Haunt Me at #7 though, and although I do like that one a fair bit too I would have taken Snuff over it

American Idiot tanking "Check My Brain" is not good, especially not for its Alt prospects

I'll be honest, I do not like Check My Brain at all...the only reason I ranked it this high was because it was the Active rankdown. Do not expect me to treat it nicely in 2009 Alt. (nothing against AIC, I just don't like this particular song)

Five #1s, and it can't even break into the top three.
You've got to be kidding me.

So this makes it back-to-back rankdowns that Deftones are stranded at #4 because of Doc's tanking.
Thankfully, their next entry is "Hole in the Earth", and he actually likes that one

Looks like I'm going to get the top three prediction correct, at least.
2 vs. 7...but who knows, maybe my 2 will surprise.

Ok can this please not be "Savior"
"Savior" is not an Active song and it already won a rankdown
I was rooting for Letter from a Thief

10. The Crow & the Butterfly - Shinedown Finally this song goes top 10..and on the proper Active rankdown too. What else was going to be my #1 song?
9. Give Me a Sign - Breaking Benjamin Yes! My favorite Breaking Benjamin song.
8. Snuff - Slipknot One of the few mellow Alternative Metal songs that I'm a huge fan of. I will probably put this one in my top 10 for the next Alt rankdown, because of Alternative Metal style.
7. New Fang - Them Crooked Vultures Another great one. These first four were easily in my top 30 of this particular year...and I still found slots for personal favorites as well.
6. Check My Brain - Alice in Chains I'm surprised "your Decision" beats this one. I thought The Powerballady mood would bring it down. I'm all for it and I hope it wins. I put this one at #63, but it's still in the favorites of this year.
5. Say You'll Haunt Me - Stone Sour Yes! One of my top 5 songs made the actual top 5 too. My top 5 were extra hard to compile, but I figure out. I could have put this one at #5 or even 6but I figured I could give it an extra push...and I'm glad I did.
4. Diamond Eyes - Deftones Just be glad this song has a girls and blood video, and that I take the whole songs presentation into account.

Savior winning again would be so boring, I don't even like it that much anyways (it's my #30, but that's just because this is an Active rankdown)
Your Decision is my #5, so please let that win

3. Letter from a Thief - Chevelle This is a great song. The songs from this band suddenly got really melodic. Anyway, "Jars" is up next, and I really dug that one too.

"Savior" is my #4 and "Your Decision" is my #13, which yeah is not helping matters. But I did not dock "Savior" points for repetition and not being an Active song, so I guess I am to partially blame.
