Local Native Presents: The Rock RD (*Fin)

[maine]

Hellloooooooooooo and welcome to my new rankdown: The Rock Rankdown, Vol. I! After having two straight "indie" installments in a row, I decided it was time to switch things up a bit. "Indie" III is still going to happen (it's on my Spotify, for anyone interested), but for now, let's switch gears.

This rankdown consists of really random rock songs that I love. The type of rock in this playlist varies quite a bit, as there's some hard stuff, some soft stuff, even some folkier stuff. I made this rankdown more because these songs generally aren't gonna fit in my "Indie" series, so I wanted to rank them here! 

For a due date, I'm going to go ahead and make this list due on Sunday, February 3rd, 2019 for now. I'm honestly not sure how my next semester's schedule is going to go, so there is a chance I will delay the start date. I think this date will give people enough time to sit with the songs since it's only a ~three hour playlist.

Hi! We're still sitting pretty at zero submissions, and this is due on February 3rd. No worries though, we still have four weeks left.

Hopefully there's some interest outside of wheat, who has been the only commenter here, rip.

This is next on my list after the #2 seeds!

[maine]

Helloooooo is there anybody out there? Just one list, and the rankdown is due next week. I'll probably be forced to extend due to the lack of interest in this.

I’m going to start this soon, need to review some albums for the station but once I’m done with that I’ll knock this out

[maine]

Well, I'm definitely going to be extending because of two reasons.

1. I only have two lists.
2. I did not realize I made this due on the day of the Super Bowl lmao.

So let's extend this another week, shall we? New due date is February 10th.

[Red]

1. What songs do you expect in the top 10? #1?
Honestly, I don't know. I feel like the best bets are "(*Fin)", "Dakota", and "1933", but I think that I could see 15-20 songs in this top ten. I hope my #1 is in the whereabouts. It should be, anyway. I have no idea what #1 will be, either.

2. What songs do you expect in the bottom 10? #40?
I feel SLIGHTLY better about this...I think "The Sun Has Set On Me" and "War of Change" will be there. There's a couple of songs that are pretty low in my ranking that I think might be there, too, but I'm less sure about those songs. Nickelback are normally a sure bet, but I'm not too sure with this particular song. I think "War of Change" will be #40.

3. What song(s) will have the highest standard deviation?
"The Betrayal (Act III)", if it has the support. I have a hunch that "Scentless Apprentice" has a high SD...and let's roll with "Midnight", because Coldplay.

4. What song(s) will have the lowest standard deviation?
Truthfully, I have no idea. Maybe "Everything"?

5. What song do you think will surprise?
I don't know how much of a "surprise" this is, but I feel like "Memento Mori" could be a contender to do serious damage.

6. What position was your favorite first listen?
gulp #5. And I feel bad about it. I wish I could say that it was my #13 instead.

[Deleted]

I won't be submitting for this, but tag me in the reveals. I'm curious about the performances of 2 particular songs; I feel like one's going to be destined for the bottom 10, while the other could make a run for #1.

[maine]

Hi folks! Yeah, yeah, I was supposed to start reveals Sunday night, but some things came up, so here we are today! I'm just gonna give you the gradual heads-up, reveals are gonna be wonky; there won't be set times, there won't be set dates – they'll come when they come.

I'm gonna try to knock out the bottom 10 today, so hopefully y'all are around for that! Here is the order for movements:

1 - singingrulebritannia
2 - Sambalada
3 - @humanshazam
4 - American Idiot
5 - Daryl the Beryl
6 - rowellfarm490
7 - Red

[maine]

Shall we start with #40? Our last place for the rankdown? Let's.

#40 ended up a bit of ways behind the game, but it wasn't too far behind. A total of twelve people put this in their bottom 10 with two people getting a perfect ranking right off the bat here. At the top...there wasn't much. Just three lone rankings in the top half and three additional rankings just in the 20s. The majority felt this was bottom 10 material, and it shows.

While this song ended up ways behind, it only spent time at #40 for four lists, and it was there for four of the last six lists. It spent just one time outside the bottom 10, but it was barely ahead of that.
