There are at least 3 songs which I don't think are on Spotify as of now, so YouTube videos here for convenience:
The Western World:
G.L.O.W.:
Too Drunk...: (they eventually replaced this song on their album with a cover, which could be saying something about the quality of the song :p)

(there also seem to be two additional songs that are unavailable on US Spotify, including the other Buckcherry song. Perhaps Spotify is doing us all a favor in making their songs unavailable? )

I guess we are doing ranking "Too Drunk to FUCK" right? LOL! I don't care for that cover version, but I have a soft spot in my heart for this youtube version.

Wow, I can't even put Pork and Beans at #100. Don't let that song get close to top 50 I swear...

I think I'm a lock for last place again (measured against chart performance)...I see about 20 songs that I really like, many I hate & several that will be new to me...I won't say this was a bad year in music, but rather this was a bad year for Alt RADIO

They Say's available here in my country, where of course they geo-restrict more songs. Hmmm.... (Sorry by Buckcherry is still here as well)

i'm concerned that my #s 1 & 2 may not make the Top40, but maybe with my help they can do that (or better)

We have our first three submitters (besides my list) - which means it's officially time for our first Ballot Update! (sorry Red ...no Simpsons graphics.)
Our first three submitters are Daryl the Beryl , Green Baron (both of whom sent their lists right after this rankdown was announced), and Butterflies & Hurricanes .
- The battle between #1 and #2 is currently very close, as only two points separate them. Everything gets a bit further off from there, with #3 being 11 points behind #1 and #4 being 19 points behind #1.
- Our original #1 was knocked down to #2 by Green Baron 's list, but went back up to #1 with Butterflies & Hurricanes 's list.
- Seven songs have remained in the top 10 with each of these lists.
- The highest song to not have any top 10 ranks is at #14.
- There are 20 songs that have at least 300 points.
- There are 18 songs that have less than 100 points. #99 and #100 currently have less than 20 points (and are only two points apart).
- The lowest song to not have any bottom 10 ranks is at #91.
- There are nine songs that have remained in the bottom 10 with each of these lists.
- There are three songs that have been in everyone's bottom 10 so far.
- Each list so far has changed the #100.
- And of course, it's time for Pulse's favorite part of the Ballot Update...are there any ties? With only four lists, you'd bet there are! Plenty of them, too. We currently have ties at #9, #24, #27, #29 (a three-way tie), #39, #46, #48, #62, #69, and #76.

Billy Corgan is making headlines for defending Nickelback. Which is funny, because I currently have the Pumpkins and Nickelback back-to-back in my rankings.

I'm barely into half of this list, but here is the WTF of the week. I never thought I would be ranking a Katy Perry song above a bunch of alt songs, but it's happening right before my eyes. This would never happen on an Active list.

Post by Daryl the Beryl on Nov 14, 2017 4:08:40 GMT -5
I would like to make a request for If I Had Eyes to be top 50 at least. I know it's not happening anyway though :p

91x played a lot of Jack Johnson back in the day. I have never gotten into his mood . Me putting this song Top 50, is about as probable as you putting "Sorry" top 50.

Sorry is the highest I've ranked a Buckcherry song so far, either Alternative or Active. However, it still didn't crack my top 50 in a strong year like this. It'll fare better on my active list. Too Drunk to Fu ck on the other hand... (the best part of the song is honestly the intro, again it'll fare better on my active list) I know Jack's probably going to end up bottom 20 or 30 in this rankdown either way.

"Sorry" is such a hilariously lame song. Like a wimpy version of "Lips of an Angel".

But "Sorry" is actually a pretty good power ballad in my opinion. I will admit though, I actually enjoy old Buckcherry a bit, whereas I've always hated Hinder.

Also, good lord, there are some absolute crap songs this year. Lots of really strong stuff at the top, but the bottom is the bottom. I have multiple contenders for my #100.

"Lips of An Angel" will most likely be my #1 song, whenever it appears on one of these rankdowns? You can't even imagine how strong of an 80's power ballad vibe, that song gave me. It was like a Bon Jovi and Aerosmith ballad song rolled into one.

Finally pushed myself to finish this, and, honestly, this might be my favorite group of songs yet. This was really tough to rank, outside of my bottom ten, and I changed my top ten right up until I submitted. I'm probably going to see my ranking get its ass kicked quicker than usual, but this is such a strong year that I'll be okay with it.

I need Dr. Indie to help me boost the Nickelback songs that you pricks love to tank, so he will definitely have an invite.

Losing or winning isn't that important to me, so long as I support the songs I like.

I would normally boost Jack Johnson, but I don't care too much for "If I Had Eyes". Considering what else is here, though, I won't be tanking it too badly either.
As far as Buckcherry goes, I liked "For the Movies", and "Lit Up" and "Everything" were decent, but that's about it.
By the way, will we be continuing to 2007 after this rankdown, or will 2017 be next?

Lips Of An Angel sucks. Buckcherrys Sorry sucks. Every Nickelback song not named How You Remind Me sucks.

At quick glance this looks to be one my least favorite overall alt years ever. Taking back my earlier comment after about 2/3rds through the first listen of the list. Agree about several forgotten gems and that as a whole the active songs were a lot better here than in later years.

2008 was such a weird year for alt. Carolina Liar, Serj, and Atreyu all peaking at #3 (and two other top 20s for Atreyu), Metallica and Jack Johnson getting top 10s (and I think at the same time), Katy Perry and MIA charting at the same time as ACDC and GNR...you don't get that kind of variety these days (and I'm not entirely sure I'd want it)

If I Had Eyes is making a beeline for my bottom ten. I remember hating that back in the day.
