Why do I start what I can't finish?

I'm not happy about Wars being out but I'm not too mad. Did a lot better than I expected considering HWEUA and makes me feel better about Hurt's future. "Rapture" and "Falls Apart" BETTER be top 20.

I'm going to start giving thumbs up to all songs I like now, because top 40 means the best of the best. I also like the idea of putting personal ranking numbers, so I'll put my personal chart peaks (more or less what I recall) of each song in (). N/A means I didn't know of it's existence or just never planned to chart the travesty. 40. Sulfur - Slipknot (N/A)"Sulfur" is not the Slipknot song for me.I can love one band's song and than hate the next. That's me. 39. She's a Genius - Jet (4)Alt or Active, I think Jet fits guitar rock perfect, so I kept it nice and high on my Active rankdown as well. 38. 21 Guns - Green Day (6)I love Greenday's music. There will never come a day when I tank Greenday ,unless... They becomae all elektronik and add rap or something worse to their song? 37. Hard to See - Five Finger Death Punch (9)This is easily one of their best songs. A #45 on my rank means the song went top 10 on my personal charts. These guys were so good back then. 36. You're Going Down - Sick Puppies (49)Not a bad song, it just never had the replay value for me. 35. Magnificent - U2 (1)I guess A top 10 ranking would have helped this song. You know I downgrade some Alt songs on Active, because I look for the more guitar hard rock or Powerballad rock hits, but the rest of you should have put this classic in your top 10. 34. Indestructible - Disturbed (36)This band has either great songs or epic songs. I'd say this is a great song, but let's wait for "Inside The Fire" to hear some serious epicness. 33. Use Somebody - Kings of Leon (13)I downgraded this big time, because of the high quality hard rock on this list. This is still a great song. Just not so much on Active rock radio. 32. Black Heart Inertia - Incubus (28)This is a great song. It rocks. I didn't downgraded at all, I just liked 50 other songs better. 31. Know Your Enemy - Green Day (22)I almost hit this one on the nail. I think it's a perfect spot for an Active list. It's a great song, but not one of their epic ones. 30. New Moon Rising - Wolfmother (1)SERIOUSLY! This is 2009 rock giving it's best love to the 70's. There is even a bit of Morrson in his vocals. oh yeah and..Black Sabbath anyone? Anyway, this is a perfect Rock song. I knew Daryl the Beryl would like it, but the rest of you... ![](https://s33.postimg.org/dk9e1oj0f/fury.jpg) 29. Brother - Pearl Jam (N/A)I didn't care for this song. 28. Lifeline - Papa Roach (29)A very cool song, but I'm still pissed off about the tanking of "I Almost Told You That I Loved You" 27. Death of Me - Red (N/A)This kinda rocked. Nice to see it perform this well. 26. Wars - Hurt (N/A)Finally. This one sucked big time. this Clears my top 10 bottom feeders.

let's do some extras and hope for the best?
Addiction - Dope I can kinda get into this for the lyrics and music video. The sleaziest parts of the song.
Fall Down - Tantric I like the Tantric song we ranked better than this one, but this still rocks proper.
If Today Was Your Last Day - Nickelback Great One to soothe my wounds. I love this song. Epic song writing. I knew it went HOT AC, but didn't know it charted on Active. This was obviously another #1 song on my personal charts. 7 weeks. Even more than "Something In Your Mouth"
Troublemaker - Weezer LOL! You'll see what I think of this song when I submit my next Alt rankdown list.

"If Today Was Your Last Day" always makes me feel good when I hear it. Not only is it a soothing, well-written song, but it also brings back a lot of fond memories for me. It was all over the radio in June 2009, when the Penguins won the Stanley Cup, and also when I took a road trip to Myrtle Beach with some good friends of mine. In fact, this was the song we heard the most on the trip. Great song.

"If Today Was Your Last Day" probably would have made my top 10 if it was included in this rankdown. Strong song.
Nothing else really surprising tonight. I always knew Sick Puppies were going down eventually.

Gotta Be Somebody > If Today Was Your Last Day imo. Anyway, both great ballads from Nickelback imo (I have a softer spot for their ballads compared to their rockier hits, don't shoot me lol)

Their ballads in general are insufferable, and the rockier ones are bad only when the lyrics turn to crap. "Because of You" and "Side of a Bullet" are some of their best singles.

"Far Away" is cheesy af.
I don't mind it, but I wouldn't rank it anywhere near their best singles honestly.

taking powerballads with similar styles into account...
Far Away > Song On Fire > Satellite > Lullaby > What Are You Waiting For
just saying..

Lullaby > Gotta Be Somebody > Satellite > If Today Was Your Last Day > Trying Not to Love You > Far Away > What Are You Waiting For > When We Stand Together > Photograph
Only heard Song on Fire once (when I listened to Feed the Machine), so I didn't include it there.

"Song on Fire" is Nickelback's worst ballad.
Musically it's good, but lyrically it sounds like Chad making a Nickelback parody.

Even I'll be nicer to Nickelback as the years go on, though only for select songs. Animals and Far Away won't be getting any sympathy from me.

Speaking of being nicer to Nickelback, I'm probably going to be way nicer to "Figured You Out" than any sane person should be. :kii: Surely, we're counting "Photograph" as a ballad, right? Yep. What I said still stands. Nothing is worse than "Photograph". I may think that some Nickelback songs are objectively worse, but NO other Nickelback song actually makes me angry like "Photograph" does. WHAT THE HELL IS ON JOEY'S HEAD?!?!

I don't like If Today Was Your Last Day, What Are You Waiting For, Lullaby & When We Stand Together but expect me to push Photograph, Far Away and Someday. And I'm probably the only person who likes Rockstar.

I was thinking about possibly doing the entire top 25 tonight, because the month of December is a rough one for me at the best of times, even at the beginning...but I'll likely just do 25-11 tonight. But that still means...
TONIGHT - More #1 losses? More #1 losses! I have a crazy stat about the #1s, but I feel like it would spoil some things, so I won't say that fact for now. What I will say is this: This update is going to be rough for a few of you. - Tonight marks the last of our big high SD losses, as we lose the fourth-highest standard deviation of the entire rankdown. - No really low SDs are lost tonight, but a couple of top 20 lowest standard deviations are lost. - At least one of you will lose almost their entire top ten.

Here we go, the last stop before the top 25 begins right now.
#25 clears another band's songs in this rankdown, and this is one that I'm happy to see as high as it is. Nobody ranked this song in the bottom ten or twenty (though, yet again, one person did come close to a bottom 20 ranking, and, once you see what band it is, that ranking will make sense), while seven posters ranked this song in the top 50, five ranked this top 20, three people ranked this song in the top ten, and one person even ranked this in their top five. One of the top ten rankings, if you didn't guess by now, is mine, but I'm content with this song's place. It could have been much lower than this.
