so, lists are technically due tomorrow. however, I won't be starting reveals tomorrow. I'll be waiting for alt 03 to finish up for the most part, then I'll start. so, I'd prefer I get your lists by the end of tomorrow night (6/17 EST), but if you're still working after that let me know and I'll wait.

Alright, so I'll officially be starting reveals tomorrow. Right now, we have 16 lists and we're waiting on two more, from peacebone and YotamTS. While we wait for their lists, figured I could ask y'all a little survey about what you guys expect the results to be like.
1. What songs do you think will make top 10? If you feel particularly daring, predict the #1. 2. What songs do you think will be in the bottom 10? If you feel particularly daring, predict the #50. 3. What songs do you think are targets for highest SDs? 4. What songs do you think we were all pretty unanimous on, results in lowest SDs? 5. This rankdown has quite the variety of genres. Which genres do you think will be at a disadvantage and perform poorly? 6. How do you think your #1 will do?
(b-b-b-b-bonus question): Rate your list. You can do any form of rating you like, out of 5, A through F, or simply "liked a lot."

1. What songs do you think will make top 10? If you feel particularly daring, predict the #1. Lord, I don't know. I think the safest bet will be something like "Map of the Problematique" or maybe "One More Time". "One More Time" is my current #1 guess, though I must stress that I have no idea what's going to happen.
2. What songs do you think will be in the bottom 10? If you feel particularly daring, predict the #50. Particularly, I struggle with the songs that will make up the bottom ten. I bet Underoath will be there. Wouldn't surprise me if Nugent is tanked, same with Converge. My pick for #50, though, is probably something unassuming, just like FOAT 1. My hope is that it will be my #50, even though I like that song.
3. What songs do you think are targets for highest SDs? "One Armed Scissor", "State of the Union", "Dream House", "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3", etc.
4. What songs do you think we were all pretty unanimous on, results in lowest SDs? "One More Time", "No One's Gonna Love You", "Love the One You're With", "Going Up the Country", etc. I could be very wrong on both of these, but I feel less confident about these.
5. This rankdown has quite the variety of genres. Which genres do you think will be at a disadvantage and perform poorly? Metalcore. 100%.
6. How do you think your #1 will do? Pretty well. Could be a #1 contender, but it should be top ten, at the very least.

I probably have even less idea about how this is going to go than red does so I'll just predict where my top five will place so I can get this thread into my participated threads:
#1: likely to make the top ten, but there's probably gonna be quite a few tankers, so I could see it just missing #2: probably around 25-18ish, but I could see it being a dark horse top ten and also missing the top 30 entirely lmao #3: I'm guessing around the 35-40 area, I think I'll be the highest ranker by a mile lol #4: likely to make the top ten, and I could see it making the top five too #5: I'll see surprised if it doesn't make the top ten, and it could make the top five as well lol
(now watch as my predictions are all wrong and I end up doing terribly lmao)

So I was planning on revealing last night... but I got back from the beach pretty late, and I didn't wanna start with no one here to follow along. So, TONIGHT will be the official start of FOAT 2! Submissions are now closed, and here's your list of participants:
1. @humanshazam 2. singingrulebritannia 3. Red 4. Daryl the Beryl 5. American Idiot 6. Beno 7. Cody 8. aerodynamite 9. maine 10. Lordef†ones 11. rowellfarm490 12. @carseatlegrest 13. Web 14. Troy 15. astorknight 16. lyhom 17. peacebone 18. YotamTS
Now, 18 participants is much more than I expected. I'm blown away with how many people wanted to do this! We've got some very exciting reveals with this rankdown, and I can't wait to start! Also, you can use the list of participants above to figure out how you changed a song in the movements, if you like. We'll most likely be starting around 8 or 9 PM EST tonight. Before then, feel free to answer any bit of the survey I posted above.

Ah, #50. The first song to go out. What poor song had to claim the title this time? Will it be a classic rock song like last time (CCR’s “Cotton Fields”)? Well, I can’t give that away yet, but here’s some facts about the song. It’s the only song to have not reached 200 points. It’s also the only song to not even have a single top 20. Amazingly, only one #50 goes flying off here, and only 8 bottom 10s total go out. It was only not in the bottom 10 once early on, and after that it firmly placed itself at the bottom, being #50 for 3 lists, moving up a bit, then being #50 for 7 more lists.
Oh yeah, 2nd lowest standard deviation right here.

Hope you guys enjoyed that little bit of a safe reveal, because we already lose a top 10 with “49” (lyhom). While it doesn’t boast a top 10 lowest or highest SD, it can say one thing #50 could not--this song never left the bottom 10. One #50 dies off here, and 3 of you get to experience perfection. In addition to the one top 10, another top 20 is lost here. In addition to the #50, 8 other bottom 10s go out, which I believe is the most in the game.

Now, I didn't think this would do too too well. But bottom 2? THAT shocked me. This is a bit of my past right here, and while I don't love music like this anymore, Underoath still has a place in my heart in developing my music taste. Great post-hardcore song right here, and like Haunt Me (x 3), it helped me through some cold times.

And the decimation of post-hardcore begins.
I'm fine with both of these two songs going out early, though, as I certainly didn't expect either to do very well at all.

If any of you guys were worried about losing a top 10 here because of the unlucky soul astorknight losing one on the second reveal, don’t worry. No top 10s go out here. You might wanna be scared though, because 2 top 20s go out here. Yet another #50 leaves the building with this reveal, along with 7 other bottom 10s. Something interesting about this song, though, is that while it spent some time at #50 (3 lists in a row at #50), it actually managed to break into the top half of the list early on.

Uh oh. Now, this shocks me even more then Underoath. The guitarwork is simply masterful here. Converge are one of the heaviest bands I know, and it was a little hard to understand them at first. However, when I heard THIS, my mind was blown. While maybe not my favorite Converge song, I can credit it with this--it got me into Converge.

This shouldn't be bottom five. You will never convince me otherwise.

Alright, now compared to the last two reveals, this one is a bit less interesting. One top 20 goes away, and so do two #50s. This song only popped out of the bottom 10 once. 9 total bottom 10s go out, the two #50s included. I know this was a boring hint, but at least we had me forgetting gates edited his list to make this interesting!

This one gets a bit of a similar story to Cotton Fields from FOAT 1. Driving around the beach last summer, without anything to worry about, blasting classic rock. It was a good time. And that was when I discovered this song. I think it's a great song, but I guess the reason it landed this low among everyone is the fact the the singer straight up sounds like Kermit the Frog.

#46 brings back the top 10 losses! Wait, what’s that? A top 5 loss? Yes, someone already loses a top 5 before the bottom 5 is over. Only one other top 20 goes out, but a couple posters come close to losing a top 20 here. Yet another #50 goes out here, and 7 other bottom 10s get kicked out. No perfectos on this one, sadly.

#45 brings us to familiar territory.
We lose one top 10 here, along with one other top 20. This is our first reveal where someone didn’t put the song at #50! yay or something. In fact, only 5 bottom 10s go out here, a minimum so far. This song popped in and out of the bottom 10 at first before comfortably sitting near the middle of the bottom 10, where it finished.

We’re about to break new ground, as we enter the top 10 highest SDs! #44 is the 10th highest SD. One top 10 goes down here (is this becoming a theme?), along with 4 other top 20s. Well, what stopped this from doing better than #44? TEN bottom 10s, the most we’ve seen thus far. However, none of them are #50s. One lucky person gets a PPPPPPPPPPP right here.
