RED PRESENTS JOURNEY: EXTENDED RED'S ABSOLUTELY CRAZY RANKDOWN OF CRAZINESS It kind of feels like everything has been building to this very moment for me, as weird as they may sound. I've hosted rankdowns before, plenty of them, but there's something inherently special about the rankdown that I'm about to host. This isn't just any old rankdown. It's a rankdown that, by its own design, is meant to test your patience. It's a rankdown that specifically intends to surprise you at every turn, a rankdown that lives and dies by the phrase "expect the unexpected". When I first put this list of 50 songs together, it was meant to be a "Island of Misfit Toys"-like situation, a rankdown where songs that couldn't find a fit in other rankdowns could find an easier fit here. It morphed into its own beast altogether, though, and now, it serves as the starting point for an increasingly wild series of rankdowns. Let me make this clear right here and right now: This is the tamest of the three "crazy" rankdowns that I have planned. The other two rankdowns almost make this seem like a breeze in comparison. But don't let that statement fool you...you still need to keep your guard up for this batch of songs.
Some notes...
- The list of fifty songs is specifically ordered from least crazy song to most crazy, at least in my estimation. In other words, the first songs in this rankdown are the ones that I'd feel most confident about including in other rankdowns and not worry too much about how offputting of a song they may be. The last songs in this rankdown, meanwhile, are songs that could only find their way onto this rankdown, songs that are totally and utterly crazy.
- Despite what the rankdown is all about, I will not be asking you to rank songs based on how crazy you feel they are. Instead, as with every other Journey rankdown so far, you will send your rankings (1-50, 1 for your favorite song, 50 for your least favorite) to me via PM. As with the previous Extended rankdown, the deadline for this rankdown is not a set one, by any means...but let's shoot for Tuesday, May 15th at 10pm US Eastern.
- I've decided to eschew from previous rankdowns and only offer a Spotify playlist for this rankdown. I feel like pretty much everyone uses the Spotify playlist instead of the YouTube playlist, anyway (other than, maybe, Doc), and it just makes sense to focus on the one playlist here. That Spotify playlist has been up for a little while, of course.
- As with the previous Extended rankdown, I will not be tagging anyone right off the bat. I only want to start tagging posters when I feel more confident about the deadline date, as opposed to last time, where I just wasn't sure who to tag. I don't want to tag people until I absolutely know for sure when I can do reveals for this rankdown. As soon as I have a set deadline, however, I will start tagging posters. Scout's honor.
And finally, here are the fifty songs that will test your will and patience!
1) Death From Above 1979 - Right On, Frankenstein! 2) Queens of the Stone Age - I'm Designer 3) Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy 4) Foo Fighters - The Feast and the Famine 5) Filter - The Take 6) Motorhead - The Hammer 7) Anvil - 666 8) Marilyn Manson - I Want to Disappear 9) Dirty Projectors - Stillness is the Move 10) Grimes - Kill V Maim 11) The Rapture - House of Jealous Lovers 12) tUnE-yArDs - Bizness 13) TV on the Radio - I Was a Lover 14) FKA twigs - Hours 15) Funkadelic - Maggot Brain 16) Deftones - Hexagram 17) Trivium - The Sin and the Sentence 18) Faith No More - Superhero 19) Alcest - Kodama 20) Serj Tankian - Lie Lie Lie 21) System of a Down - Know 22) Slipknot - Left Behind 23) Killswitch Engage - Hate by Design 24) Mastodon - Spectrelight 25) Volbeat - Evelyn 26) Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized 27) Rise Against - State of the Union 28) Anthrax - Caught in a Mosh 29) Slayer - War Ensemble 30) The Reverend Horton Heat - Psychobilly Freakout 31) Mudvayne - Dig 32) Avatar - Bloody Angel 33) Lamb of God - Still Echoes 34) Static-X - Chemical Logic 35) Evile - Thrasher 36) Rammstein - Keine Lust 37) HORSE the band - Shapeshift 38) Between the Buried and Me - Obfuscation 39) Norma Jean - Death is a Living Partner 40) Nine Inch Nails - March of the Pigs 41) The Dillinger Escape Plan - Farewell, Mona Lisa 42) In Flames - Take This Life 43) Deafheaven - Luna 44) August Burns Red - Invisible Enemy 45) Converge - Reptilian 46) Dimmu Borgir - Progenies of the Great Apocalypse 47) Satyricon - Fuel For Hatred 48) Bornholm - Where the Light Was Born 49) iwrestledabearonce - Tastes Like Kevin Bacon 50) The Mars Volta - Cassandra Gemini(For some reason, Spotify doesn't have the full version of "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse", which is the one we're ranking. That can be found here.)

Okay, so a couple of things:
1) I've decided to only use a Spotify playlist from here on. The YouTube playlist was nice to have as an aside, but I feel like most of you go with the Spotify playlist, anyway. If you absolutely need the YouTube playlist, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
2) I'm sticking with the May 15th deadline, for now. It's around the time when finals season ends for the college students among us, and I'm pretty sure that I'll have free time around that point. I may even remove the question mark in the title of the thread!...maybe. :kii:
Now, the tags. I am still not entirely sure who to tag for this, outside of those who have shown interest. Oh well...let's go for it. Remember: If you are not tagged, that does not mean that you are not allowed to submit. You are still more than welcome to submit! I'm just being my old, forgetful self.TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE (current) DEADLINE.

Deadline is fast approaching. It's not entirely likely that we'll start Tuesday, but do you really want to chance it? I didn't think so.(just over) 48 HOURS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

Oh, so I completely forgot to do a reminder last night. Well, it's not looking likely that we'll be starting the reveals tonight, anyway...so even though the deadline is tonight, it'll likely be a softer deadline, like with the deadlines for the main Journeys. I would still prefer if you submit before the actual deadline, though!(less than) 10 HOURS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

Wait a minute is there seriously a half hour long song in this thing?! Which is also geo-restricted on Spotify here btwEDIT: I'm not sure if I'll be doing thing. I'm not even that many songs deep with the preference revealer and already I feel like too much of this stuff is veering into the territory of sounds I'm not here for. If I don't like enough of what's on offer here I'm not finishing/submitting.

Which is also geo-restricted on Spotify here btwThat would be "Cassandra Gemini", the second-longest song in any of the Crazy RDs. (Though there's also at least one full album in one of the future Crazy RDs. ) Also, I wouldn't blame you if you don't do this RD. The next RD I have planned will be much less... different than this rankdown.

Okay, so the deadline has passed. As I've alluded to, however, you are still allowed to submit. I was thinking about starting tonight, and we probably will start tonight...but I'm not locking that in just yet. In any case, we are officially in...THE LATE SUBMISSION PERIOD!

While we wait for the reveal to begin (still looking at starting tonight), let's do a quick survey.What songs do you expect to see in the top ten? What songs do you expect to see in the bottom ten? What songs will have the highest SD in a rankdown full of highest SD contenders? What songs will buck the trend and have the lowest SD? How do you think your #1 will do?

What songs do you expect to see in the top ten? could maybe see TVOTR, Mastodon, Marilyn Manson making top 10. other than that I have no idea What songs do you expect to see in the bottom ten? Grimes, Static-X, Lamb of God What songs will have the highest SD in a rankdown full of highest SD contenders? could see it being Mudvayne, tbh, or maybe TDEP What songs will buck the trend and have the lowest SD? probably one of the less crazy songs, maybe one from the Foos or DFA1979 How do you think your #1 will do? i'm thinking top 20, but fingers crossed that it goes top 10

THE TURNOUT
Not a bad turnout at all for a rankdown like this one. The only concern I have is that the upcoming Crazy RDs will be much more off the wall than this first RD was, so I wonder how many of you will stick it out for the entire trilogy. No matter, though, that's then and this is now.
#50 never had a chance. At no point was the song outside of the bottom five, and it was also at the very bottom for the last eight rankings. After a few rankings, it wasn't even close, with this song being more than a full ranking behind the other 49 songs. No one even loses a top half ranking with this reveal, while nine posters will clear a bottom ten, seven will clear a bottom five, and one will even get to experience some rock bottom perfection.

As with the 2000's rankdown, the choice for the last place song was not a close one. I also knew going in that one of two songs would likely be at the #50 spot at the end of the ranking process. One of them escaped that infamy, but Static-X was not so lucky. It's a shame, because I really do like this song, but this was an extremely tough rankdown for me to rank (as will be made apparent later), and this just did not stand a chance.
Also, hello, lowest SD. I thought that this factoid might give away the song. I guess not!50Static-X - Chemical LogicPoints: 102 Standard Deviation: 7.186 (lowest)RankingsAmerican Idiot : 31 @carseatlegrest : 32 singingrulebritannia : 33 wheatsquares33 : 37 Troy : 41 janinho : 44 Red : 47 Lordef†ones : 47 @jamesflame : 48 rowellfarm490 : 49 aerodynamite : 49 peacebone : 49 @humanshazam : 50

From the lowest SD, we jump straight over to the other side of the standard deviation spectrum at #49 with the reveal of the seventh-highest standard deviation. Unlike #50, #49 did escape the bottom five a handful of times. Ultimately, though, this song was destined to finish near the bottom.
For the first time in this rankdown, we'll see top 20 rankings fall to the wayside...three of them, in fact. One poster will even lose a top ten ranking. Oh, wait, I'm sorry, I meant to say that they lose a top five ranking. My mistake. Eight more posters will lose a bottom ten, all but one being a bottom five. And here's an interesting stat for you: This is the only song in the entire rankdown with more than one #50 ranking. Oh, and someone will also experience some perfection.
