My favorite first listen landed at #19. That's pretty rare for a first listen to go that high with me mainly because I know a majority of the songs but also because this was a tough year.

1. Top 10: I'm thinking either Mr. Brightside or Best of You will be #1, but with the massive lead #1 has over #2, I'd guess it's Mr. Brightside. Other top 10 hits? Hysteria, Feel Good Inc, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Little Sister are my guesses. Where Are You as this year's dark horse as a fringe top 10.
2. Bottom 10: Finding Out True Love is Blind, Photograph, Gangster and Thugs and Pressure Point.
3. Highest SD: Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails and The White Stripes.
4. Lowest SD: All of The Killers' songs.
5. Higher than expected: None really come to mind.
6. Lower than expected: System of a Down, for some reason.
7. My highest first listen was barely around #30.

i prefer most of the EXTRAS over about 1/2 the songs that we are actually ranking...Chemical Brothers, Razorlight, Dead 60s, Tegan & Sara, Stellastarr, Modest Mouse, Head Automatica, Longview, Elefant, U2...even DMB & AAR's songs were decent

Just submitted a list! A few of these placements may surprise some of you guys, but I found myself disagreening with some of my prior opinions on the songs when I gave them a final listen.

1. Which songs do you expect to be in the top 10? Predict the #1 as well, if you'd like. I think that Mr. Brightside will be Number one and the other songs will be Holiday, Hysteria, Feel Good Inc., All These Things That I’ve Done and BYOB
2. Which songs do you expect to be in the bottom 10? Predict the #100 as well, if you'd like. Photograph, Beverly Hills, Walking Dead, Take Me, Finding Out True Love Is Blind, Gangsters And Thugs (100) And Ugly
3. Which songs do you think will have the highest SDs? The Widow probably will. Also Vermillion, Beverly Hills, Cold, BYOB, Fix You and Blood Red Summer. OH yeah and MCR
4. Which songs do you think will have the lowest SDs? The Killers song as well as Honest Mistake, Franz Ferdinand and Swing Life Away. 5. Which songs do you think will perform better than expected? Franz Ferdinand, The Widow and Jack Johnson
6. Which songs do you think will perform worse than expected? Unfortunately Green Day. I also see Nine Inch Nails perhaps falling to the wayside. 7. How high did you rank your favorite first listen in this Rank down? My Number 12 is f**king fantastic but I’m hindsight I think my 15 is very good too.
8. (bonus question) How would you score each section of your list? You can use any scoring system that you want, even a simple one like "good"/"meh"/"bad". ALL TIME FAVORITES: 1-11 FANTASTIC: 12-25 GREAT: 26-41 VERY GOOD: 42-52 GOOD: 53-68 OKAY: 69-80 MEH: 81-88 BAD: 89-95 TERRIBLE: 96-100

Sorry I decided to skip this, I couldn't find enough time to do this and didn't find a special song I needed to boost. Good luck with the host peaceboneRooting for BYOB, Helena and the obvious winner pick Mr Brightside.

Sent! Wow I spent so much time today working on my list. Solid list overall, nothing really stood out as bad so my #100 is alright. I really enjoy my top 30 or so and hopefully I'll do well on this RD too. Can't wait for the results.

1. Which songs do you expect to be in the top 10? Predict the #1 as well, if you'd like. "Mr. Brightside" (#1), "Best of You", "Feel Good Inc.", "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", "Holiday", and "Hysteria" are the only sure bets for me (with the latter two maybe bowing out right before Top 10). "Little Sister" and "The Hand That Feeds" could be dark horses. I see another song from The Killers in, but not sure which one.
2. Which songs do you expect to be in the bottom 10? Predict the #100 as well, if you'd like. "Gangsters & Thugs", "Finding Out True Love Is Blind", "When I'm Gone (Sadie)", "No Surprise", "Disappear". I'm not convinced "Photograph", "Scars", "Beverly Hills", and "We Are All On Drugs" will be bottom 10 just because they'll have their usual helpers, along with some others – though it wouldn't surprise me if they some made it.
3. Which songs do you think will have the highest SDs? "B.Y.O.B.", "Question!", "Stricken", "My Doorbell", "Vermillion", "Cold", "Under Pressure".
4. Which songs do you think will have the lowest SDs? I can see "Different" having the lowest SD, or one of the top 5 lowest. Can't see anyone really hating it.
5. Which songs do you think will perform better than expected? Fall Out Boy should see their best performance this go round with "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" – less haters as we move back in time.
6. Which songs do you think will perform worse than expected? I see Rise Against having one of their worst performances to date with "Swing Life Away". Green Day is gonna watch two songs go Top 10 (or one just missing), while "Wake Me Up When September Ends" fizzles out in the 30s or 40s.
7. How high did you rank your favorite first listen in this rankdown? #11
8. How would you score each section of your list? You can use any scoring system that you want, even a simple one like "good"/"meh"/"bad". 1-3: some of my favorites of the 21st century 4-10: love em 11-28: I really like these 29-41: these are solid af 42-67: these are still pretty solid, but a bit less 68-81: these are decent 82-87: these are alright – I can see why someone would like these 88-93: here's where I start disliking stuff 94-95: I honestly don't remember how these sounded 96-99: these suckkkkk 100: wow, this is a new low for this band – I've enjoyed some of their stuff but this was horrendous

"Beating Heart Baby" seems like the type of song that would annoy me, but I kinda dig it. Maybe because I heard it a lot on G-Rock WHTG (R.I.P.) back in the day. Although "Sweet Troubled Soul" also got a lot of play there, and I was never crazy about it.
"City of Blinding Lights" is an underrated U2 song, and the best single from this album. "Walking With A Ghost" is a classic, and "Galvanize" is a cool song too. Was pretty shocking that "Move Along" never did anything on Alt. "The World At Large" is a solid song, but I thought "The View" or "One Chance" would have been better third single choices.
I guess they were getting too much backlash as a "Pop" act at the time, but then Alt went ahead and gave the seriously poppy "Gives You Hell" attention.
As for the questions...
1. Which songs do you expect to be in the top 10? Predict the #1 as well, if you'd like. Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Hysteria, Feel Good Inc, Mr. Brightside, Holiday, Swing Life Away, Helena, Little Sister
2. Which songs do you expect to be in the bottom 10? Predict the #100 as well, if you'd like. Beverly Hills, Finding Out True Love Is Blind, Photograph, Gangsters & Thugs, Take Me, No Surprise
3. Which songs do you think will have the highest SDs? Both Weezer songs, All That I've Got, Blue Orchid, BYOB, Cold, I'm Not Okay, Sugar We're Goin' Down, Vermillion
4. Which songs do you think will have the lowest SDs? Be Yourself, DOA, Holiday, Little Sister, Lyla, Mr. Brightside, Right Here,
5. Which songs do you think will perform better than expected? Doesn't Remind Me, Evil, Reach For The Sky, The Widow, Work, Passive
6. Which songs do you think will perform worse than expected? Both Weezer songs, All Because of You, All These Things That I've Done, Best of You, Cold, Look What You've Done, Speed of Sound, Wake Me Up When September Ends
7. How high did you rank your favorite first listen in this rankdown? #51

I'm bad at predicting, but I'll answer the last two
7. How high did you rank your favorite first listen in this rankdown? #17
8. (bonus question) How would you score each section of your list? You can use any scoring system that you want, even a simple one like "good"/"meh"/"bad". #1-5: A+ #6-9: A #10-30: A- #31-40: B+ #41-46: B #47-50: B- #51-63: C+ #64-68: C #69-82: C- #83-89: D+ #90-99: D #100: D-
Just a very mediocre list generally, nothing I'm really too passionate about except my top 2, but nothing I completely despise either, nowhere near as good as 2007 or 2006.
Also really like all the Mediabase only bonuses (...can you divulge where you're getting the info from?)! I've never heard of a lot of these, I'll probably check them all out and write about them when I get the chance.

I just checked the magazine from my birthday week (July 19, 1996; i was born on July 18). It's crazy. A song needed almost 300 spins to get into the top 50 on Active and 490 spins on Alt. 22 years later and ''The Line'' by the Foo Fighters charted with only 34 spins on Active.

Submissions are officially closed. I have received a total of 31 lists. I will currently be inserting some last minute lists and working on movements, but everything should be done - and I should start revealing - within an hour. I will make a mass post tagging everyone when reveals officially begin.

Still working on movements, but in the meantime, I'll give you all a preview of what will be revealed in tonight's set. Tonight, I will be revealing #100 to #86. Here's what you can expect to see: - Nine top 10 ranks will be lost tonight. Five of these are top 5s...and one of them is a #1 (already)! An additional 12 top 20 ranks will also be lost.
- One unlucky fellow will already suffer multiple top 10 losses tonight.
- All but 10 submitters will have their #100 revealed tonight. Nobody will clear their bottom 10 already, though.
- The big one's already coming! That's right, the highest standard deviation of the entire rankdown will already be revealed tonight!
- The 7th, 18th, and 20th highest standard deviations will also be revealed!
- On a different note, the 2nd, 11th, 13th, and 15th lowest standard deviations will all be revealed.
- At least one artist with multiple songs will already clear their songs.

You people usually surprise me in the worst way possibel. 1. Which songs do you expect to be in the top 10? Predict the #1 as well, if you'd like.songs by Green Day, Killers, Muse, Manson's Depeche Cover. Hopefully the rest that are in my top 10. 2. Which songs do you expect to be in the bottom 10? Predict the #100 as well, if you'd like."Bring your own barfbag" (hopefully) The rest will be songs by bands people hate for no reliable reason. 3. Which songs do you think will have the highest SDs?Beverly Hills. It all comes down to, who loves Playboy Bunnie MVs, and who thinks the song is stupid? You know where I stand. 4. Which songs do you think will have the lowest SDs?Innofensive songs from Jimmy Eat World, Switchfoot. maybe even Hot Hot Heat? 5. Which songs do you think will perform better than expected?"Speed Of Sound"and "Sugar We Are Going Down" 6. Which songs do you think will perform worse than expected?Probably some of the the ones in my top 10? Depending how scary harder guitar sounds to poeple 7. How high did you rank your favorite first listen in this rankdown?#62. and its from a band that I don't care for at all. So that's a compliment coming from me. :kii: 8. (bonus question) How would you score each section of your list? You can use any scoring system that you want, even a simple one like "good"/"meh"/"bad".I love my top 50. 51-65 are decent. I don't really care for anything under my #80. Except #83. I totally fucked up that ranking and forgot to move it into the top 60. I hope my mistake doesn't tank it?

Surprised only one person is losing multiple Top 10s tonight.
My bet is going towards me, Doc, or dm though.

Surprised only one person is losing multiple Top 10s tonight. My bet is going towards me, Doc, or dm though. I think my top 10 songs will do fine here, but I do tend to rank some hard rock songs high on an Alt rankdown too. These are the ones in danger of getting less than fair treatment on these rankdowns.
