When I decided upon the rankdown to follow the first Crazy rankdown, I wanted to mainly go for something less crazy with the follow-up rankdown. I thought about posting another rankdown idea, but I think that I'll save that one for the next rankdown that I host...or perhaps the rankdown after that, if I decide to do the second Crazy rankdown next. We'll see...but anyway, when I started putting together these Extended rankdowns, there were two rankdown ideas that, naturally, came to mind first: 2000's and 2010's. 2000's was the first Extended rankdown list that I completed. This was the second. Maybe a pattern is building here somewhere...
First, a couple of notes:
- You will send your rankings (1-40, 1 for your favorite song, 40 for your least favorite) to me via PM. As of right now, the deadline is set for Sunday, June 24th. This day is subject to change, depending on the free time that I have at that point. The deadline time is also changing, as I will likely need to get started that night: 8pm US Eastern.
- As with the Crazy rankdown, there will only be a Spotify playlist for this rankdown. If you're hoping to see the YouTube playlists return, well, I just don't think those will be returning any time soon, as I'm sure that almost everyone who submits uses Spotify instead.
- As with the previous couple of rankdowns, I will not be tagging anyone immediately. As with the first Crazy rankdown, I don't want to go tag crazy until I'm more confident about the deadline date. I feel more confident about this one than the previous two, but I'm still erring on the side of caution, for now.
- Having said all of this, if you would like to be tagged when I eventually do start tagging posters, make sure to let me know! I will tag you, if you ask. You may have to ask me multiple times, but I will eventually tag you.
Finally, here are the forty songs to be ranked! As the 2010's have not concluded just yet (nor has this year), this rankdown is limited to songs released in the years 2010-2017.
1) Devo - Fresh 2) The Birthday Massacre - Sleepwalking 3) Arcade Fire - The Suburbs 4) Band of Horses - Laredo 5) The Dillinger Escape Plan - Gold Teeth on a Bum 6) Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross ft. Karen O - Immigrant Song 7) Kasabian - Days Are Forgotten 8) Girls - Vomit 9) Mastodon - Stargasm 10) Thrice - Promises 11) Deftones - Leathers 12) Muse - Animals 13) Rush - Headlong Flight 14) Billy Talent - Viking Death March 15) Queens of the Stone Age - Keep Your Eyes Peeled 16) The Wonder Years - Passing Through a Screen Door 17) David Bowie - The Stars (Are Out Tonight) 18) Volbeat ft. King Diamond - Room 24 19) Korn - Love and Meth 20) Pearl Jam - Sirens 21) Royal Blood - You Can Be So Cruel 22) The War on Drugs - An Ocean In Between the Waves 23) Weezer - Ain't Got Nobody 24) PVRIS - St. Patrick 25) TV on the Radio - Careful You 26) The Dear Hunter - A Night on the Town 27) Earthside ft. Lajon Witherspoon and the Moscow Studio Symphony Orchestra - Mob Mentality 28) Ghost - Mummy Dust 29) Marilyn Manson - Killing Strangers 30) Failure - Hot Traveler 31) Metallica - Spit Out the Bone 32) Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker 33) Norma Jean - IV. The Nexus 34) Highly Suspect - Wolf 35) Converge - The Dusk in Us 36) Nothing But Thieves - I Was Just a Kid 37) Mutoid Man - Melt Your Mind 38) The National - Day I Die 39) Jamie Lenman - Mississippi 40) Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes - Modern Ruin

We're typing in Georgia font, and you know what that means...THEY'RE BAAAAAAACK! That's right, it's time for the return of the B-B-B-B-BALLOT UPDATE to the Journey series! I know that these updates have been missing as of late, but I'm going to try to bring them back on a permanent basis, starting right now. Our first three rankings that don't belong to yours truly belong to @jamesflame, Troy, and singingrulebritannia. How did these three posters impact the rankdown in its early stages? Well, you know that I'm going to tell you, anyway...
Some stats to consider: - Five songs have been in every top ten since the first ranking. Four of those songs are three of the four songs in the current top four. #1 has changed hands multiple times early, and the point gap at the top is reflective of that: Just three points separate #1 and #2. In fact, just seven points separate #1 from #4. The top four does have a gap over the rest of the pack early, though, with #4 holding a 15 point lead over #5. - #5 and #6, meanwhile, are separated by four points, while #6 and #7 are separated by three points. #8, #9 and #10 are all separated by three points, as well. - The current gap between #10 and #11 is just four points, and there's a bunch of songs below #11 that can easily jump into the top ten with the next submission. - Seven songs have been in every bottom ten since the beginning of the ranking process, including the bottom five. All but one of these songs is within striking distance of #30, however, so all hope is not lost yet...especially not this early. - #40 has changed hands multiple times, as well...but unlike #1, #40 is not even close. #40 is nearly 30 points behind #39, and it is also over a full ranking behind #30 already. - Carrying over from the 2006 Active rankdown, WE HAVE STANDARD DEVIATION UPDATE SIGN! The current highest SD can be found at #13, while the second-highest is currently bottom ten, at #33. Meanwhile, there are plenty of early contenders for lowest SD, but the lowest resides all the way down at #40. The next four lowest standard deviations are the current top four, though not in order. - And did you really think that I would do a ballot update without Pulse's Favorite Part of the Ballot Update...
We're doing it already...prepare your ears, because it's time to SOUND THE ALARM! We have an early top ten tie at #9. There are also ties at #15, #18, #20, #31, #35, and #37.

Oh, you didn't think that I forgot about this, did you? I may be hosting 2003 Alt right now, but I have my priorities in check...kind of. You see, I may be out of town after the original deadline day, June 20th, and given that, by the time I'd get back from being out of town, it would be just about time for the Alt reveals...yeah, I'd need to focus my efforts on the Alt reveals, at that point. The new (and potentially final) deadline day is Sunday, June 17th, so eleven days from now. I'm also moving the deadline hour back to 8pm US Eastern, because I will need to get started that night.
With that in mind...(also keep in mind that I know there's a good chance that some of the posters tagged won't submit...doesn't hurt to try, right?)ELEVEN DAYS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

Of course, now, this deadline coincides with the new Alt deadline, as the timeframe for me being out of town has changed to the end of the month. I'm thinking of moving this particular deadline back to June 24th now. Assuming I get started that night, there's still a good chance that I'll reveal the entire rankdown here before I have to go out of town. Here's to hoping.

s**t, i thought this was due tomorrow or in 2 days lol. I'll just follow I guess, not many songs I knew anyway. Well, there's a chance that I may not start until tomorrow, anyway. I've been swamped all day today. In any case, I suppose I should still do a survey!
- What songs could be in the top ten? Any #1 guesses? - What songs could be in the bottom ten? Any #40 guesses? - What songs could have the highest standard deviations? - What songs could have the lowest standard deviations? - How do you think your #1 will do?

Well, the deadline has passed, and I haven't started the rankdown. I thought this might happen, especially after Alt 2003 took a lot out of me and life got in the way soon after that. Given that I'm going out of town this week, I'm also now not really sure what to do in terms of reveals. I thought I would reveal ten a day from yesterday until Wednesday, but that didn't quite happen. Here's my compromise: We are about to go through an indefinite late submission period. I can't guarantee when we're going to start, how long the reveals are going to take after that, or when the rankdown will end, so take this as a bone thrown by me to you. If you haven't submitted by now, you're getting a second chance to do so.WELCOME TO THE LATE SUBMISSION PERIOD.

Okay, I'm back from my mini-vacation. The late submission period, however, continues! I received a submission from peacebone. If you still intend on submitting, I will likely start either tonight or tomorrow, but no later.I AM STILL ACCEPTING LATE SUBMISSIONS!

Well, I've given you guys plenty of time to submit...the rankdown is closed for submissions. And I think it's time to start the reveals.
#40 never really had much of a chance. It didn't start out at #40, but it sure as heck ended up there, spending most of the rankdown there, sometimes far behind the rest of the rankdown. All but three people ranked this song in their bottom ten, with multiple people ranking the song at the very bottom. Despite this fact, two people will still be losing a top half ranking, with one poster coming close to losing a top ten already.

More than any other song, this was the song that convinced me that Korn was still capable of making some really strong songs. Then, they made "Hater" and flushed that good will down the toilet. They have rebounded since, but I'll never be able to trust them the same way.

#39 is nearly 40 points ahead of #40. It also never left the bottom three, and it also spent a ranking at #40. It actually spent equal amounts of time at #38 and #39 in the rankdown, in fact. All but five people will lose a bottom ten this time, with six losing a bottom five, one achieving perfection, and another shedding a #40. We go from two top half rankings to three with #39, meanwhile, though the highest ranking is not just our first top ten loss...it's our first top five loss.

let’s guess Devo for this Kind of funny that Korn and Devo wound up being the bottom two here, given that they accounted for my top two albums of 2010 at the end of said year. The Korn album has not aged well for me at all, but the Devo album has, and "Fresh" remains the standout from said album.39Devo - FreshPoints: 150 Standard Deviation: 10.564RankingsTroy 3 rowellfarm490 19 aerodynamite 20 singingrulebritannia 26 American Idiot 27 peacebone 31 maine 31 rgreen0625 36 @humanshazam 36 Web 37 Red 38 @jamesflame 39 Daryl the Beryl 40
