Heading into the top 5, #5 has 9 top 10 ranks, the highest number we've seen so far. The song took its time to get into the top 10 but eventually got enough high ranks to barely reach the top 5.

Lol, this is the track that got me into RA, but it's gotten a bit old over time.

My ranking of "Savior" is not an attempt at tanking, honestly. I've just never really liked it as much as other RA songs. The same goes for "Ready to Fall". They're both songs that I like, but RA has made better songs.

Let me get this out of the way: the top 3 here have dominated the rankdown in the second half of the submission process, as they were around 40 points ahead of #4 that kept switching. Our #4 started in the top 5, but it fell quicky and spent most of the time in the lower half of the top 10 until the last 3 lists gave this a big boost into the top 5. The song has 5 top 2 ranks, the most in the whole game. 3 bottom 20 ranks are probably the reason this didn't go higher.

Sad to see "Collapse (Post-Amerika)" go out early in the Top 10, but I didn't expect it to be Top 10 anyways, so I'm glad it made it here in the first place!

My first instinct is to go with "Prayer" because of the five top two rankings...but based on the movements, I think this is "Injection" instead. Wouldn't be surprised if it's one or the other.

janinho, I can get over, because he loves Rise Against so much and this ranking must have been torture for him. But you, 3Cheers... I’ll take the L on this one. I had no idea so many people liked it. I just thought it was pretty substandard for them.

Your top 3 is: Prayer of the Refugee Drones The Good Left Undone
These 3 songs all spent some time at #1. I won't be posting trajections for these songs, as I want to keep the suspense : p

So we're down to the top 2: Prayer Of The Refugee vs Drones. - Both of them have exactly one #1 rank. - Both have only 1 bottom 20 rank, and it's a #23. - One has the 2nd and one has the 3rd lowest SD. - One song was at #1 for 7 ballots, and the other was at #1 for 3.

Well, not really surprising, but still a great winner imo. Even though I was hoping for a Drones upset, Prayer remains of their best. Drones:
6 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 2 3 2 2 2 Prayer Of The Refugee3 9 6 6 5 6 5 3 3 3 3 2 1 1 1 As you can see, Drones was actually dominating the game, but sadly couldn't complete the upset in the end. Prayer was actually around 40 points behind Drones at some point, but every list kept having it higher until it jumped to #1 since fearless & Lordeftones ranked Drones in the middle and American Idiot ranked TGLU a bit low too.

I was rooting for "Drones" to be the underdog honestly.

Ahh so close. Both are great song, but I wish Drones could’ve won. Awesome rankdown, YotamTS! Although some of the results were frustrating, that’s the whole fun of it. You did a great job hosting!

So that's it for the Rise Against Rankdown, I hope you all enjoyed it! This was my first rock rankdown and I had fun hosting this, artist rankdowns are much less stressed than YE rankdowns and I actually had a small school break in the past couple of days. So, I wanna thank each one of you that took the time to send a list! I might do more artists/rock artists rankdowns in the future because I feel like I only have time for this kind of rankdowns now. As of now, not sure what my next rankdown will be, but I have a couple of ideas in my mind. So... I'll see you in my next rankdown!

Time to catch up. 20. State Of The UnionThis one did not work for me one bit. Sounded like a totally different band. Those vocals (cringe) 19. WolvesGood song with a great intro getting right into the action. This would be a great 3rd single. 18. Help Is On The WayTrue story. I like this song more and more each time I hear it. 17. Re-Education (Through Labor)The way you guys rank this one in the year end rankdowns means nothing here, huh? This is a certified classic. Not even Top 10. What a shame. 16. Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly ExaggeratedNot bad for a song with a long title. Quite a bit of vocal straining ,but very melodic. 15. Dancing For RainI like the adrenaline injection I got form the music, but it wasn't especially memorable. 14. SurviveAgain; I dug this for the guitars and percussion. Nothing ground breaking but those guitars in between the chorus and verses were great. 13. SatelliteI usually like the singles a lot more. This one still had a catchy sing a long chorus. 12. Behind Closed DoorsFirst time listen. Wow! this one went straight into my "Biceps and Back" workout playlist. The song does mention breaking backs. Can't believe I was the one who had, Lordef†ones 's back here. 11. Life Less FrighteningNot bad. It just didn't blow me away like other songs do. I did love the intro tho. 10. Paper WingsI love that one of my first time listens had enough wings to make the top 10. I don't know about the rest of you, but I liked the, semi, blink 182 vibe ,the intro had too. 9. Collapse (Post-Amerika)The intro here had me sold. The top 10 was hard to rank. This one had mad adrenaline. 8. Heaven KnowsThis one barely misses my top 10. Adrenaline Pump iron perfect and super melodic. You know I love my top 10 songs. 7. Give It AllThis is one of those songs that really didn't do much for me. The chorus was good, but the rest of the melody seemed contradictory. 6. Ready To Fall Decent song. I was just never blown away with it. I think he got carried away with the chorus. 5. SaviorThis one will always be my favorite. The one that keeps me in the car even after I turn the engine off. 4. InjectionThis one was just alright. They have made way better songs with this melody. 3. The Good Left UndoneThis one always sounds good on the radio. 2. DronesThis was better than I expected. The music was captivating and his vocals really fit the melody of the song. 1. Prayer Of The Refugeehard to keep this classic out of the top 10, but I did find first time listens that I thought were way fiercer too. Great songs, GReat rankdown. The best thing about these heavier Alt bands, is that they will be one of the ones on earth, to go that ;Hi-Hatting Imagine Dragons'; route.
