As others I just want to say that I'll eat a shoe if Kid Rock isn't #100 overall. On a semi related topic, it actually has a pretty good intro and I keep thinking its gonna be a better song then it is. Then that rehashed guitar lick kicks in and he starts bragging about how he "shits where he walks" and I'm reminded that nope, it's just a mediocre Kid Rock song. "Mediocre" is putting it a bit too kindly for that piece of garbage.

Unpopular opinion: TGSOE really isn't that bad, especially not the radio edit that cuts out the 10 minutes of unnecessarily noodling at the end. It's not very good and there are some very bad lyrics, but it really just sounds like another Kid Rock song to me. I'd take it over All Summer Long, for example.

kid rock wishes he was mediocre. No one is more deserving of every single #100 rank ever than him.

Honestly with all the trash at the bottom of this rankdown, Middle Fingers shouldn't even be bottom ten.

Lol "Rx" is high for me as well.
Not sure why Daryl said it'd be a low SD - I was thinking it'd be among the highest actually.

Just turned in my list! Excited for this to start.
After assembling it, I totally get why people think this year's active chart was better then this year's alt chart. For starters, more of the hits are better, with the top 25 or so (of billboard's list, not mine) songs blowing alt's top 25 this year out of the water. The best stuff is argueably better as well, and the worst stuff is more or less a wash.
However the reason I still like alt better is because of all the mediocre sludge that charts on alt. Between about 65 and 90 on my list are all the generic, rehashed post grunge songs that chart on active. It was honestly quite hard to rank them, as I had no idea what made one worse then another and even had some trouble telling them apart at times. Say what you will about alt, but at least some of their less interesting artists are plesant -- this group of active songs wasn't actively grating I guess, but they were just so mediocre and uninteresting.
There's also way less variety on the chart as a whole. I actually think alt is the most diverse it's been in a long time, with newer indie staples sharing the charts with 90s alt bands allowing situations like when Bang Bang and All We Ever Knew going #1 within a month of each other despite being polar opposites in sound. While there's some deviation on active, way too much of the chart is dominated by watered down post grunge, metalcore, and classic rock.

Also may as well fill this out while I'm waiting:
Pre-Rankdown Survey:
-What songs do you think will be most divisive (highest SD)? Rx, Bullfight, The Stage, Steambreather, Oh My God, Alone, Back from the Dead, Avatar x2
-What songs do you think we will agree about the most (lowest SD)? Judas, Anti Everything, Greatest Show on Earth, Never Again, Satelite, some of the super middle of the road post grunge that I forget the name of already.
-Which of your bottom 10 will hang around the longest? My #92 could potentially sneak into the top 20 sadly :(
-Which of your top 10 will be eliminated first? My #10 could actually get out in this first set.
-How far do you think your #1 will go? I think it could actually be a top 10 dark horse, especially since there are less pop posters in this rankdown.
-In the following pairs, which song do you think will perform better?:
Beartooth: "Hated" or "Sick of Me" Sick of Me
Chevelle: "Door to Door Cannibals" or "Rivers" DTDC
Come Together: Gary Clark Jr.'s cover or Godsmack's cover Gary Clark, I expected Godsmack's to finish bottom 10.
DED: "Anti-Everything" or "Remember the Enemy" RTE, I'm thinking Anti Everything will go out in the bottom 5.
Highly Suspect: "Little One" or "My Name Is Human" NMIH
In Flames: "Here Until Forever" or "The Truth" HUF, The Truth is probably finishing bottom 10.
Madness/The Madness: All That Remains or Art of Anarchy I'll say AOA but it's a crapshoot. Both will probably finish between 60 and 90.
Mastodon: "Show Yourself" or "Steambreather" I'll guess Show Yourself by a tad.
Metallica: "Atlas, Rise!" or "Now That We're Dead" Atlas Rise, but it's gonna be close.
The Pretty Reckless: "Back to the River" or "Oh My God" Back to the River, but both will be out fairly quickly.
Volbeat: "Black Rose" or "Seal the Deal" Black Rose, but it's gonna be close.
Also be prepared for a shock when you see my #27 (assuming I counted correctly) -- I fully expect this song to be out in the bottom 5, and when it came out I thought it was really bad, along with most people. But despite its immense stupidity, its grown on me a lot.

Didn't I chart most of the list?
Anyway Rx is in my 60s fwiw, but I see a lot of haters of that song.

-What songs do you think will be most divisive (highest SD)? "Rx", "Blood in the Cut", "Feed the Machine", "Ready for War (Pray for Peace)", "Still Breathing", both Avatar songs
-What songs do you think we will agree about the most (lowest SD)? "Monster", "Hurricane", both Highly Suspect songs, "Greatest Show on Earth", "Loud (Fuck It)", both DED songs
-Which of your bottom 10 will hang around the longest? My 92, 95, and 96 maybe since I don't know the reception to them here? At least to me, I should be shedding my bottom 10 rather quickly this time.
-Which of your top 10 will be eliminated first? My #8 without a doubt.
-How far do you think your #1 will go? In a perfect world? top 20; in the real world? top 50
-In the following pairs, which song do you think will perform better?: Beartooth: "Hated" or "Sick of Me" Chevelle: "Door to Door Cannibals" or "Rivers" Come Together: Gary Clark Jr.'s cover or Godsmack's cover DED: "Anti-Everything" or "Remember the Enemy" Highly Suspect: "Little One" or "My Name Is Human" In Flames: "Here Until Forever" or "The Truth" Madness/The Madness: All That Remains or Art of Anarchy Mastodon: "Show Yourself" or "Steambreather" Metallica: "Atlas, Rise!" or "Now That We're Dead" The Pretty Reckless: "Back to the River" or "Oh My God" Volbeat: "Black Rose" or "Seal the Deal"

My #1 is going to get killed. Hopefully my ranking keeps it out of the bottom 10. I'm also expecting my #8, #11, #12, #15, #17 and #19 to die in the bottom 50.

Submissions are now officially CLOSED. Thank you for choosing to participate in the 2017 Active Rock Year-End Rankdown! Hopefully, I will be able to serve you all well as host. There are 26 of you! I think that sets a new record for an active rock rankdown! Tonight, I will be revealing songs 100 through 86. This should be a fairly relaxing night for most of you as nobody takes too many big losses. Here are some highlights previewing what is to come tonight: -Only one poster loses a top 10 tonight, though a couple of others will come painfully close -8 top 20s will also see elimination along with 9 more top 30s -The songs with the lowest, 2nd lowest, 3rd lowest, and 10th lowest SD will be revealed -None of tonight's songs has too high of a standard deviation with the leader being the 18th highest -At least one artist with multiple songs in the rankdown will clear out tonight -18 of you will see your #100 bite the dust; 8 of you will have to wait We will be starting shortly once I've finished processing everything!

So I submitted for this... Some nice discoveries but idk how that aligns with everyone's tastes here, so I don't really know what to expect from this. Also, I am going to publicly call out LBTrocks for abandoning me here. Jk I know you didn't have time!

Let's get things started shall we? So what mystery song is our #100? This song was truly dead on arrival. It stayed at #100 throughout the ENTIRE submission process! This song only had one top 50 ranking. All but 5 posters placed this song in their bottom 10. Seventeen of these rankings were bottom 5s. More astonishing yet was that this song had a rankdown high 10 #100s! This song also held the LOWEST standard deviation of any song in the rankdown.
Song's progress over time: 100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100
(I'll be including this for each song. The first number is the song's rank after taking into account the first list I received other than my own. Obviously, this isn't very illuminating here but for the rest it will show how each song trended over time.)

I'm inclined to say that this is Kid Rock, but "Dead" on arrival could be a clue. I guess Believer and Middle Fingers are also possibilities...
But nah. This has gotta be GSOE.
