The song to clear my bottom 20. Another top ten appearance for this song. It continues to be the song that keeps on chugging along.
Congratulations, Daryl the Beryl, on clearing your bottom ten.

I always like Metric, but I prefer Gold Guns Girls to this.

If Superstition is next, it would mean half of my remaining ranks are top 10s and the other half are bottom 20s

Okay, so...#7 is the last of the remaining big high standard deviations (though we'll see another top ten SD tonight, too). This song is the source of the second-highest standard deviation. There was never a point where this song wasn't in the top ten, the first of the six songs tonight to accomplish that feat. It was also a top five staple for most of the rankdown before the last couple of rankings decidedly kept the song from getting back to its natural place. Seven posters lose top ten rankings here, with six of those being top fives. There is also at least one #1 loss here.

This had a high SD? Just from the length, or what?
After its performance in Daryl's Indie I thought this would be the winner. *shrug* I'll take a bottom 20 leaving, though.

#6 is the last song to have not been in every top ten, though it wasn't far off.. This song spent half of its time outside of the top five and half of its time inside the top five. Ultimately, it finished just one spot short of the top five. Six posters lose a top ten ranking here, though only one is a top five ranking. All but one of this song's rankings are in the top 20. The lone holdout is a bottom ten. Actually, strike that: It's a bottom five.

Congratulations are in order for clearing your bottom ten here, alexcuse.
I'm beginning to think that "Heaven and Hell" is the only Black Sabbath song that can't make the top ten in one of these RDs.

THE TOP FIVE Danzig - Mother Stevie Wonder - Superstition A Perfect Circle - Blue Arcade Fire - No Cars Go David Bowie - Lazarus #5 actually started out really well, even threatening for #1 at that point. Ultimately, it settled into a fringe top five candidate outside of the top ten, only to make a sudden return to the top ten at the very end. Seven posters lose top ten rankings (spoiler: Every song remaining was in my top ten), five of those rankings being top fives. No bottom tens are lost here, though multiple rankings come close. It's those low rankings that ultimately prevented this song from going even higher.

After a while, I was rooting for this one. Sad to see it not even make the top three after being so nearly dominant earlier.

My heart breaks, but glad this made it this far, really.
Ok time for a quick plug Did you enjoy "Mother"? You can rank it + more songs and bands featured in Journeys ("Ace of Spades", Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden); artists featured in previous Active Rock rankdowns (Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, Ozzy Osbourne); other likely familiar names (KISS, Thin Lizzy, Slayer); songs Metallica covered on Garage Inc. ("Am I Evil?", "Curse of the Pharoahs"); a song that could appear in a far-in-the-future Alt RD ("Burning Inside"); and many underground classics in a similar vein, as part of my 80s Metal Rankdown! I swear it only has TWO grindcore tracks. Note, the stated deadline is a "if everything goes well" date (it won't). I will wait for your list if you tell me you are working on one.
Ok back to your regularly scheduled program

Three of you still have bottom ten rankings going into the final four songs. At least one of you will lose their last bottom ten here at #4. This song was a heavy favorite from the onset, hanging out in the top five for all but one ranking, and, at one point, landing at #2 for four consecutive rankings. What did this song in? Well, I've already mentioned that this song has at least one bottom ten, but there's more than one low ranking here. Meanwhile, all but three of the rankings are in the top 15, with seven of those rankings being top tens, and five of those rankings being top fives.

If it just hadn't gotten those last two rankings, it would have outperformed its performance in the Arcade Fire rankdown. Oh well...
Congratulations on clearing your bottom tens, Az Paynter and singingrulebritannia. I guess. :kii:

#3 was in the top five for almost the entire rankdown. At one point, it was in the top two, only for it to hover around the #4 and #5 spots...and then the last couple of rankings sent this song into the top three, where it would, finally, stay put at #3. Six posters lose top tens here, with all but two being top fives. One is a high top five. There's not a lot of low rankings for this song, but there are a couple.

Congratulations, Beno. With two songs to spare, you are the last to clear your bottom ten.
Sorry about being intentionally vague, Green Baron.
