Deftones are an all-time top 5 favorite band of mine, but this is among their weaker cuts for me (though it's still good). There's plenty of other songs that they've released this decade alone that would have gone in my top 10 though. "Sextape" or "Entombed" might have even contended for my #1.

#3 is over 20 points ahead of "Leathers", so we're really looking at the heavy hitters now. It did not look like it would start off that way, but it made its way into the top three via brute force. Four of the top five songs were in the top ten for a long time. "Leathers" was the only one that had a long period outside of the top ten.
One of you ranked this song in your bottom ten...and yes, it's a bottom ten clearer, because of course it is. All but three posters ranked this song in their top half, with all but FIVE posters ranking this song in their top ten. There are just two top five rankings here, but one is a #1.

No shortage of Thrice options, admittedly, but I decided to go with a single here, mostly because I feel like it's a song that has been unfairly forgotten in their discography. It sure as hell wasn't forgotten here, though.
My condolences, singingrulebritannia. And congrats on clearing your bottom ten, aerodynamite.

2 v 3, I'd prefer my 2 wins but both would be a fantastic winner

So the #1 spot came down to two bands that have come close to winning one of the main Journeys, but not quite. Ultimately, the battle wasn't that close, though "The Suburbs" did spend three rankings at #1. It was a very solid run for this song, though it didn't end with it reigning supreme over the rankdown. And this can only mean one thing...The War on Drugs have their revenge! And it wasn't even close.

And with that, it's time for this rankdown to finally close, once and for all...24 hours later. I'd like to thank everyone who participated in whatever way that they participated in. As always, you guys are the ones I do these rankdowns for. This rankdown was particularly fun to host thanks to the amount of songs that received a bottom ten ranking. Almost every song had someone who didn't care for it as much as other people do, and that was a lot of fun to witness live.
As for my next Extended RD, I thought about jumping straight into the Crazy 2 deep end, but I think we'll hold off on that until closer to the end of the summer. Instead, I want to tackle a rankdown that I'm not necessarily looking forward to. Why? Because every single reveal before the top ten will hurt my soul in some way. In the vein of @humanshazam's FOAT series, get ready to check out 50 of my absolute favorite songs ever, as we explore...
