What song will be #1? Probably "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights", just because it is the "recognizable hit" on the album. "After All" has a good shot too. What song will be #10? Hopefully "You Are Everything"! What songs belong in the Top 3? "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights", "Sounds of Silence", "After All". What songs belong in the Bottom 3? "You Are Everything", "Half Over You", and maybe "Blue Is Not A Word"? Any other thoughts/comments? 100% expecting the singles to dominate, even though it's an album where nobody really knows the singles

If you put "Sounds Of Loneliness" in the bottom 3, you can go join Flops and cherrychick in the loser's circle...

What song will be #1? “Lonely Days, Lonely Nights” but I wouldn’t mind seeing an album track take this What song will be #10? “You Are Everything” or “After All” What songs belong in the Top 3? “Lonely Days, Lonely Nights”, “Half Over You”, and maybe “Wicked Ways” What songs belong in the Bottom 3? “You Are Everything”, “After All” and “Sounds of Loneliness” (sorry bboat11 I agree with Kanenrá:ke on this one...) Any other thoughts/comments? Neither of the four singles did all that well in her artist rankdown and if my memory serves me right most of them were out in the bottom 10 so given that I think it’s possible some of the album tracks might perform quite well here.

kicking things off we see bboat11 lose his #1! I join him in losing a Top 5 as well. I really like this song and there is something about it that just works better than the other songs for me. Cannot put my finger on exactly what but I definitely disagree with the majority in that this does not belong in last place, or even in the bottom half! up next at #9 we will see the song with the most last place rankings leave us, while eliminating 4 more Top 5 ranks!

Each night I'm gonna try and post 2 reveals as there are only 10 songs I don't want to rush through the reveals. 3 people still have their #10 ranked song still in ( Cody Wants Out..., toomuchboy, someguy), tomorrow night one of them will be eliminated while the other two will have to wait...

Definitely shocked to see so much hate for "Sounds Of Loneliness". It doesn't make any sense at all to me. This song has such a peaceful, relaxing melody. It almost sounds like a classic folk song or something. The melody allows Patty's vocals to truly shine. The instrumental arrangement is by far the coolest on the album. I love the orchestra, as well as the way it builds from a soft sort of hill song to an orchestral production that would have stolen the show as a concert closer. Not to mention the way this melody opens itself up for incredible harmonies on full display. Really, there is no reason at all to find this song to be the worst on this album. It's one of the only songs that truly has an identity.
"You Are Everything" isn't bad. It's just not anything special whatsoever. It is a nondescript '80s two-step ditty; one that has no memorable features other than a fairly strong instrumental track. Definitely belonged towards the end of this album, and I am shocked it managed to escape last place...

"Some Blue Moons Ago" didn't wow me at first, but I found myself liking it more each time I listened. Probably a good spot for it to be leaving. Must be a really low sd! It's unusual for a song to have no ranks higher than #5 in a rankdown this small!

"Some Blue Moons Ago" was definitely near the bottom for me though not by much. I ended up liking everything from this album minus "You Are Everything".
"Wicked Ways" has grown on me a lot and I do think it should not be the first single to go but this seems like the right place for it to go.

"Blue Is Not A Word" started out very high on my list, simply because it is a cover of a George Strait song! However, tbh it is not quite as good as George's version... Nor was it ever one of George's best songs to begin with... So it kept falling on my list with repeated listens until it finally settled in at #7.
For whatever reason, "Wicked Ways" did not really click with me. I think part of it might be the way Patty's voice really thins out on the hook, when she says "When" on the line "When you gonna turn from your wicked ways." It is not one of her better vocal performances, for sure.

Yay, I am thrilled to see this song only make it to #5!!!! Every song remaining is MUCH better. I was worried this would worm its way into the top 3 or something just because it was a single. Stoked that is not the case! It makes the rest of the rankdown more interesting!
