The Blue Mountain State movie blew. I loved the show though.

While listening to these songs, I got curious about what "Zzyzx Road" actually meant. Turns out it's a real road in California.
Also, oh man I just had an amazing first listen for one of these songs that may end up in my top 10. Excited to see where it finishes.

I've always wondered what sorting by median rather than mean would do, given that it would weigh outliers a lot less. With access to that data, it's interesting to see the difference.

Ballot update #2... starring janinho , me and peacebone!
So, how close is the race between #1 and #2? Well, really fuckin' close. And by that, I mean 2 points. Does that sound familiar?. #1 has 550 points. and #2 has 548 points. However, the last update's #3 is now at #2. The #1 remains the same, although janinho's list caused it to tumble to #4. With the hard work of me and peacebone, we brought it back to #1. The old #2 is now at #5, 19 points away from 1st.
The top 7 have all crossed the 500 point mark. 5 songs have been in the top 10 for the entire process.
That funny coincidence I mentioned before no longer applies.
Someone's list at one point dropped a song from #12 to #32. What a tank. As for whose list that is, my lips are sealed.
The new #100 was #97 at the last update. It has all bottom 10s, except for one bottom 15. All three of us who submitted for this ballot update ranked it in the exact same position.
The bottom 10 songs are the only to not clear 100 points yet.
The highest SD is found at #48. Our #100 has the lowest SD.

I'm not really a fan of Sevendust, but this song features Chris Duaghtry. The song itself has a different vibe anyway, but Daughtry upgrades this song a lot for me. The title should read:
Seven Dust (feat. Daughtry) - The Past

Submitted! Honestly, did not expect that to be my number one, but man what a great song. My number 100, like the Alt rankdown, I don't think will survive the bottom 5 (hopefully).

My number 100, like the Alt rankdown, I don't think will survive the bottom 5 (hopefully). lol, I think we submitted at around the same time. A couple of songs actually surprised me. A song that I thought would be somewhere in my bottom 40 wound up in my top 40, while a song that I thought would push for top 40 wound up being one of my least favorite discoveries in this rankdown. The top ten won't surprise anyone once the Alt results are revealed...maybe my #3, just because it's that high, but I've always really loved that song.

I have actual work to do so I tried to space the spreadsheet work, but once I saw Red's list come in right after humanshazam's I knew I would be wasting the last 1.5 hours. Everything's up to date, which means a ballot update might come soon.

If I'm being quite honest, I'm more than happy to start only with the 8 lists I have right now.

well you need some Hard rock/Hair Metal/ post grunge/PartyRock (whatever you like to call it) representation, so you gotta wait for mine. I love a lot of these songs , so this is taking some time to rank. be patient. I got 5 days.

On the topic of full versions of songs, I just realized I didn't use the full version of Pantera's "Piss" for the 2012 active rankdown. (it's about 45 seconds longer) The full version was geo-restricted for me, hence probably why.

Leo, if you really wanted to, you could send me a list in spite of me not tagging you.
I think it's safe to say that all of us would be happier if Doc didn't send in a list, just judging on the results I have so far and knowing Doc's feelings on some songs.

We can't let that song get robbed like it did in alt lol I'm upgrading this and few others I tanked on this list a little bit, because this year was pretty un melodic to begin with. Only two songs From my bottom 10 ALternative list stayed in the bottom 10 ,on this list as well. This time ;I only really cared for about 50 or so songs. Not a great year at all.

Ballot update #3!
This one features @humanshazam, Red, and persona non grata Doc Indie Party Rock.
We're used to #1s having slim leads over #2. #1 has 820 points, while #2 has 803 points. The song that was previously #1 remained #1 as humanshazam and Red sent their lists, but Dr. Indie ruined the streak and returned a song that had reached the summit before back to #1. Before this list, this song was at #4, but it jumped back to the top. It has been at #1 for 3 ballots, while the current #2 was #1 for 4 ballots.
Dr. Indie's list also sent two songs to the top 10 for the first time. #2, #5 and #6 are the only songs that have been in the top 10 for the entirety of the rankdown.
The bottom 2 are the only songs not to clear 100 points.
The highest SD is now found at #13.
Remember our good old friend at #100, the one that hands-down had the lowest standard deviation? Before Doc sent his list in, it still had the lowest standard deviation. It now has the 4th highest standard deviation. Math is weird.
The new lowest STDEV is at #99, so it keeps up the trend of bottomfeeders dominating this stat.
It's 1:30 AM and there are too many ties for me to list out. We have one 3-way.
