Pulse Rankdown: 2018 Year End Alternative Chart (WE'RE DONE)

[peacebone]

I’ll go right ahead and say that #82 is the only song we’ll be seeing tonight that does not have a top 10 attached to it. In fact, it doesn’t even have a top 20! Still, it earned 17 top half rankings, and three of them are top 30s. There wasn’t much disdain for this song either, as it comes with just three bottom 10s. Two of them are bottom 5s, though, and low bottom 5s. If you couldn’t tell already, this song has the twelfth-lowest standard deviation. This song never looked like it would do well, but it kept falling and ended up at its lowest point.

[Walking Contradiction]

I thought this would be bottom 10 (though it just missed mine). Bye Felicia!

Say Amen (That You Won't Sing Horribly Sunday Night)

Can't tell if shading me or Urie.... -_-

Hehehe

[Mylo13 💜]

Help I really enjoyed the last 3 songs :(

But especially Saturday Night, I LOVE that song to death, such a jam and a feel, it's catchy, loud but groovable! I understand why y'all hate it, but I really wish you guys didn't :(

Hopefully Zombie and Africa last a bit longer though...

[peacebone]

While three people have already cleared their bottom 10s, .indulgecountry loses his first bottom 10. Anyways, with their worst performance by almost 20 positions...

can we get rid of that ODESZA EDM travesty next.

[maine]

Awful vocal performance from Eddie Vedder.

[singingrulebritannia]

This song is a demo-worthy performance but for some reason they decided to professionally mix, master, and release it to radio

[Deleted]

These guys have REALLY been declining since the 90’s.

[Mylo13 💜]

ayy nice! This song was kiinda okay but hey, it's not ANOTHER top 20 loss!

Although, now that Indulge lost a bottom 10, I think that means I'm doing the worst overall now lol.

[Red]

You know a Pearl Jam song is not good when I'm ranking it bottom half.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

82. Pearl jam - Can't Deny
Forgettable but you "can't deny" that this song is better than half of alt's 2018 top 100. 

[LBTrocks]

"Say Amen" is great song and didn't deserve to be so low! "Nevermind" didn't either, but at least I get why that one is lower.

[MoD]

how do you go from songs like Jeremy to this (still decent though)

[Zach]

Pearl Jam, particularly Eddie, didn't even seem to be trying with this one.

[SHOOTER]

Overranked a bit but I didn’t hate it.

It's sad when this statement is true, but that the song is still better than a large proportion of the other tracks on the year's playlist

[lyhom]

the vocals on "can't deny me" sounded like a drugged up old man at times lmao

glad "life wasted" isn't their worst performance anymore, though

[fearlessarrow]

"Can't Deny Me" was kind of just there for me, didn't stand out in any way.

[Deleted]

this song sounds like what mystery meat tastes like

[Leo ✔]

Atrocious

[Walking Contradiction]

Not awful but very weak for them.

[LBTrocks]

I LOVE Eddie Vedder's voice but the bulk of Pearl Jam's material is lost on me. "Black" is one of my favorite songs of all-time, though.

[peacebone]

#81 normally would be a boring reveal. It’s a song that has just one top 15 ranker. There are just 11 top half losses, and there isn’t even much action going on in the lower reaches, with just three bottom 10s, none of which are even bottom 5s. This song barely moved, but it did start off at its highest point. Really, the only reason this reveal has even a sliver of excitement is because someone loses a #1.
