And with that...near critical mistake out of the way, night two of Book II's reveals is complete! We jump into the top 20 tomorrow night with 20-11, and it's a doozy. We see #1 losses, #2 losses, bottom tens cleared, top tens getting hit hard, and, finally, the highest standard deviation in the entire rankdown. I'm super excited about this next update, but it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Guess I got some catching up to do? 40. Mastodon - Sultan's CurseStarting off with a Metal song, is not my idea a promising rankdown. I can hope that my bottom songs are next? 39. Heatwave - Boogie NightsThis is just wrong. Isn't there some rap music we can tank first? 38. The Game - DreamsNow we are talking. Good riddance. 37. Public Enemy - Fight The Power.Another good choice for a bottom feeder. Everyone knows I dislike this stuff as much as some of you dislike,2008-2010's Sleaze Style Rock. 36. Lupe Fiasco - The CoolCool is one thing this song isn't. You're outta there. 35. Nas - One MicThat puts an end to rap on this rankdown, so my work here is done. 34. Queen - Tie Your Mother Down....and this would be rap fans getting their revenge, because they knew I would rank this high? 8D Am I the only one here who would seriously take a bullet to the head to save guitar rock? 33. Jimi Henrix - Little WingI'm surprised at the member who ranked this the lowest? 32. Judas Priest - PainkillerThis is a great Metal song. Just misses my top 10, because there are 12 better songs here, but I really thought this would come in a little higher here? 31. The Birthday Massacre - ControlThis had to be my favorite discovery here. I won't even go on about epic female vocals. You all know my thoughts on that. I also gave this one a Download? Check. 30. Glenn Frey - You Belong To The CityThis is a good song. Glenn has a bunch that are way better, but this kicks some serious ass in the saxophone department. 29. Agent Fresco - See HellThis ended up in my bottom ten, but it's in no way a bad song. It isn't about the song, but more about that fact that there are way more classics in this list. That only songs I didn't care for at all were the rap/hip hop stuff. 28. Robyn - Call Your GirlfriendI wanted to put this higher because it's fierce Synthpop that I love and took Top 10 on my personal charts. This was a brutal list to rank. 27. Royal Blood - Lose ChangeI really dug his vocal delivery on this song. First time listen too. It should have been a single. 26. Queens Of The Stone Age - Feet Don't Fail MeGood song, but I thought that intro wasted too much time to get to the real beefy part of the song. I do love the guitar in this song. 25. Michael Jackson - Dirty DianaFunny how Michael Jackson Rock style never really clicked with me. The song was great, but I didn't think MJ had vocals for rock. 24. Donna Summer - I Feel LoveFirst King Of Pop, and now Queen of Disco. WTF happened here? Anyway, Another good one. I think she has way better songs, but I did love the Giorgio Moroder injection this gave me. 23. Motorhead - Ace of SpadesGood Metal. I guess it did a lot better than I thought it would? 22. Slowdive - Start RovingA bit too mellow for what my ears crave for, but not a bad song. 21. Auf De Maur - Followed The WavesGreat song. Great vocals. A bit more melodic, and I would have ranked it a bit higher.

It's one of the best intros I've heard lately though I didn't say it was bad. Maybe just a bit too long. You know I'll take that Intro over half of the dull Alt chart we got these days tho.

I actually thought this might do a little better, given how well it did in Lord's rankdown. Guess not. I ended up totally underranking this, probably would've moved up higher by 10 spots or so if I re-ranked today. (Tesla used this song to perfection in their semi-truck reveal a few days ago).

Hoping "Black" can win this. Definitely one of my favorite songs of all time.

Not "Star Roving" leaving this early. My favorite song of this entire year.

One song in particular was VERY recently in the top ten. And it starts with #20. #20 was all over the place throughout the ranking process, being in both the top ten AND bottom ten, at one point. Ultimately, it settled dead set in the middle. This is the first of three high standard deviation losses tonight. Three posters lose a top ten, two lose top fives, and one loses a #2. (I came dangerously close to losing a top ten here myself.) Meanwhile, three people lose bottom tens, with two being bottom fives, and BOTH of them clearing their lowest remaining rankings. NOTE: We will not be revealing immediately. I have to eat and do other stuff. But we will be getting started shortly!

One thing I did not forget to mention, because it would have spoiled something: After he lost no top tens in the first twenty reveals, Troy loses his first top ten here.

It made the top half, which is okay I guess. Here's hoping their song in my Randomly Specific game can do something as well.

#19 is just a bit less controversial than "Nights in White Satin" was for the participants. This was a song that mostly hung around in the 16-20 range, so it's no surprise that it lands here. Just two people ranked this in the bottom ten, though neither are higher than #35, while another two people lose a top ten, though neither are a top five ranking. I'm just going to assume that the two bottom ten rankings prevented this from having a low standard deviation.

This probably would have been gravey's #1 if he'd gone anywhere near this game.

This probably would have been gravey's #1 if he'd gone anywhere near this game. Either that or "Dreams". Maybe he could he single-handedly stopped the rap purge? Oh, hey, right on cue... #18 was a fighter, I'll give it that. At one point, this song was bottom five and with little hope of escaping the bottom ten. By the end of the rankdown, somehow, it found its way into the top twenty. We see two bottom ten losses, while three more top tens go out the door. One will be losing back to back top tens, one will be losing yet another top ten, and one will be losing their #2.

The suffering continues for at least one of the previous reveal's top ten rankers with #17. Two people lose top tens, but both are top fives, and both are not exactly having the best of rankdowns. Meanwhile, four people lose bottom tens, though only one person loses a bottom five. Spoiler: It's me. Also, a reminder: I love every song here. "Dreams", as was the case with "Fancy" in the first Journey, is a 4.5/5 or ****1/2 song. Consider this me softening the blow. :kii:

Considering the rate at which I'm having more bottom rankings left than top ranks can I tank something already?

If you want to refer to #16 as a "tanking", that's fine. You didn't REALLY tank it, but, considering this song was a top ten contender for pretty much its entire run up until the late stages of the ranking, you did play a hand in the song not being in the top 15. Two people lose bottom tens here, with one person losing a bottom five. The other bottom ten ranking might be the most baffling ranking in the entire rankdown. You heard me. Meanwhile, two more people lose top tens, both being top fives. One person's suffering...MUST CONTINUE! The other poster...is me. The first of my "favorite five" is going out the door here...
