Yea this exceeded my expectations. This was a really nice discovery. The guitar riff is cool.

#7 almost stayed in the top ten for the entire rankdown. It had a brief moment where it was at #11, only for it to move into the top ten right after that and never look back. At one point, it was even in the top three. Ultimately, it would settle for a #7 finish, which still isn't too shabby.
One poster will lose a bottom ten ranking, though it's not a particularly low one. All but three posters ranked this song in their top half, with seven of those rankings being top ten rankings. Despite the high number of top tens, only two people ranked this song in their top five, which is a pretty big reason why it ended up in the bottom half of the top ten.

This could be either Goliath or QOTSA, hoping for the latter.

This could be either Goliath or QOTSA, hoping for the latter. You may or may not remember that I considered placing this song in the third Journey over the song of theirs that I did include, ultimately deciding against it. I feel like the decision to hold off was warranted, given that it finished top ten here. Probably the happiest I was about any song's performance in this rankdown.

Yea, this was much better than their song on 2005 alt imo. I really enjoyed the instrumentation and the chorus was very catchy. One of my favorites discovery.

At #6, we encounter the first song to be in the top ten for every ranking. It is also the source of the second-lowest standard deviation. This song did not particularly impress at any point in the rankdown, but it was a constant fixture in the top ten, even if it looked dicey at times. This had a bit of an up and down ride in the top ten, even getting to the top three late. Obviously, it did not stay there.
This is another reveal where no one loses a bottom ten, though one poster gets pretty close. Six posters will lose a top ten ranking (and a couple of posters are not far off), but only one is a top five, and it's not a high top five. Of note, one of the top ten rankings may get to experience some perfection in the top ten.

I make a concentrated effort not to go with an obvious pick for this band for one key reason: You've heard most of the obvious songs of Muse. There will be one or two obvious picks in the future, but most of these songs are not the ultra-popular hits...and it all starts with "Assassin".

P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING! Damnit. Was rooting for this to win.
Remaining ranks: #1, 3, 4, 9, 21. Anything but my #21 for the win please.

THE TOP FIVE Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home Interpol - PDA Queens of the Stone Age - The Sky Is Fallin' Deftones - Knife Prty Tool - The Grudge #5 is the last song to not be in the top ten for every ranking, though it was very close, only not being in the top ten for a single ranking. Despite being in the top ten for just about the entire rankdown, it could never seem to get higher than #5. #5 was a popular hangout spot for this song, spending three rankings at the spot, including the last one.
One poster will lose a bottom ten here, though it's not a low bottom ten. Seven posters will lose a top ten ranking, meanwhile, with four of those rankings being a top five ranking. One poster may or may not lose a #1 here.

I could have went with a number of songs for Deftones, to be honest...but let's be real, they're going to be in a bunch of future rankdowns of mine. The choice here is one of many potential Deftones songs I decided to choose to spotlight. "Knife Prty", it is!
My condolences, Lordef†ones.

Damn it, probably my favorite discovery here. This was just awesome, the "Go get your knife Go get your knife" lines were cool and the screams added too.

The top four were in the top ten for every single ranking, and that starts with #4. #4 never went lower than #7, and it was only there once. In fact, it was only out of the top five once. It also has my favorite stat of this entire rankdown, one that will become clear when I post the reveal.
Nobody bothered to rank this song in their bottom ten, though at least one poster came close. All but three of the rankings for this song were top half rankings, and a whopping eight were top ten rankings. One poster may or may not have ranked this song at #1.

I contemplated moving this song to one of my Favorite Songs rankdowns, but, as I alluded to earlier, I feel like the competition there is going to be extremely tough. I didn't want to risk this song not having a shot a top ten, like it did here. My favorite Queens of the Stone Age song, just hanging out in the top five for almost the entire rankdown. I was not expecting this at all, but I'm so happy to see it.
By the way...surprise, this was my #1.

So, it comes down to this: "PDA" vs. "The Grudge". Interpol vs. Tool. I will say this: There are still a couple of bottom tens in this rankdown. Where can they be found? Find out shortly...

On another note, never expected PDA to go top 5, let alone top 2.
It's my #4 vs #9.

The little song that could. The song that was up against a behemoth. It's just too bad that the race for #1 was not close. At least it took the runner-up spot at the very end.
That is all that "PDA" can do. Going into this rankdown, I thought that "Welcome Home" would be the winner. My dark horse was "PDA", in case "Welcome Home" had its inevitable tankers. As it turns out, there was a favorite for #1 this whole time that I just conveniently forgot to notice...and did it ever make me regret not noticing. Winning the 2000's Rock rankdown by over 50 points...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!

PDA is the best song I've heard by Interpol so far. Glad it made the top 2 tbh. The Grudge is a great winner, and a deserved one too. Glad Tool won another rankdown.

And that's another rankdown in the books...in the pocket...out of sight. Poor Doc Indie Party Rock, though. At least Tool aren't in the next couple of rock chart rankdowns! 
As always, I'd like to thank everyone who participated and/or followed my latest rankdown adventure, and I'm hopeful that you guys will continue to follow along as we dive deep into the many, many rankdowns that I have planned over the course of the next couple of months...what? Did you think this was going to be the only Journey: Extended rankdown? Please. I have dozens of rankdowns waiting in the wings. (I'm not kidding. I have a TON of rankdown lists put together.) What's next? Well, I haven't officially decided yet. I wanted to continue forth with the second rankdown I put together, but I also wanted to go in a bit of a different direction for the next rankdown. Something...decidedly more crazy. I don't know when I'll be posting the next thread, but I will tell you which rankdown is coming up. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages (and/or angels), step right up and witness the craziest rankdown you will ever lay eyes on...until the next one...RED PRESENTS JOURNEY: EXTENDED RED'S ABSOLUTELY CRAZY RANKDOWN OF CRAZINESS

Final closeness stats and perfect rankings: Legend: LR = Previous rank, Rk = Final rank, CL = Closeness to Rankdown, PR = Number of P-P-Perfect Rankings ____________________________________________ Nice to see Tool win with another great song of theirs! Like usual, I had lots of fun going through and ranking the songs you chose for your rankdown Red. I knew about half of them going in and made quite a few discoveries along the way. I already mentioned my favorite discovery was "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1". Some of my other favorite finds include "Goliath", "Burn", and "Hands in the Sky".

10. TV on the Radio - Wolf Like MeA really great discovery. In fact, I keep discovering that this band had life before ;"Happy Idiot" 9. The Gaslight Anthem - Old White LincolnI've always enjoyed this song, and I still get that Springsteen vibe. 8. Placebo - The Bitter EndUnderrated band,. They are really popular over here. 7. The Mars Volta - GoliathThis gave me White Stripes' vibes. Hence my very high ranking. 6. Muse - AssassinThis sounds like a different band, but they also sound like a different band now a days too, so go figure. 5. Deftones - Knife PrtyBetter than most I've heard from them, but not better than most songs here. Not for me. 4. Queens of the Stone Age - The Sky Is Fallin'"Little Sister" this is not. Also not very exciting in the end. 3. Coheed and Cambria - Welcome HomeThis one was kind of just there. Decent guitar, but could use some Red Bull. 2. Interpol - PDADamn! I wish this one had won. P-P-P-PERFECT Ranking too. 1. Tool - The GrudgeI obviuosly overranked this.  Not scary, but I don't dig on this band's melodies. I'm way too hyper for this music vibe. Anyway great job Red . I always love nabbing those great first time listens and adding them to my ever growing collection of mp3s. I got 5 out of this one.
