Somebody will clear their bottom ten at #6. This song was over 100 points behind #5.

7. A Grave Mistake - Ice Nine Kills The theme of the album is surely my favorite of 2019. Horror fan to die for. There are stronger songs on the album, but none quite as melodic as this one. A great first ever single performance.

This only slightly grew on me from hearing it in RoTo, because I learned to appreciate the technical aspects. But it still sounds way over-theatrical for my tastes. I could maybe tolerate that with a better singer, but...

Stunned this did as well as it did, but this is actually one case where I'm not complaining at all about my lowest in the top ten doing pretty decently.
(I would have had "Stabbing in the Dark" even higher.)

Could this be A Perfect Circle. I remember some one saying they hated the Fish song?

Speaking of songs I was anti-rooting for, despite my ranking...
Chica and LBT prevented this from topping "The Doomed". I'm content.

6. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish - A Perfect CircleThis is still a very favorite of my top rock songs of 2019. I brought up Chevelle's "Shameful Metaphors" for a reason. Seems these Alternative metal bands can only fully entice me with their Metal ballads. I also thought this would have been one of the biggest Active songs of 2019. I was completely wrong, but at least it does what I had in mind on this RD. I don't know about the other high ranks, but you can remember 2019 for the year I ranked an APC song higher than the big APC fanboys. Oh yeah and last but not least. Wrong MJK song out first.

Honestly, for a while, this wouldn't have been so high in my ranking, either here or in Alt. A funny thing happened, though: "Fear Inoculum" finally clicked with me about two months ago. It's still not close to being one of Tool's best, but I think this song finally justified the 15 year wait.
(For the record, Chica's last bottom ten was not my #1, so it's fine.)

#4 was tied in having the fewest bottom half rankings on any song in the rankdown.
Best rankdown position: 2 Worst rankdown position: 6 Average position: 3.7 SD Rank: 6th lowest Perfect Rank Count: 0 Ranking distribution: Top 10s: 13 11 to 25s: 5 26 to 50s: 5 51 to 75s: 1 76 to 90s: 0 Bottom 10s: 0

If "Fear Inoculum" wasn't so long I would've ranked it higher but... granted most Tool songs are super long haha

5. Fear Inoculum - Tool The thing that stands out is how much stronger MJK's vocals sound on the APC song. This song sounded a lot better among the Alt travesties of 2019, but really weak among the fiercer heavier Metal jams of Active 2019. I know this is fierce for some of you, but still too calm for me.
Also this pretty much confirms Ghost at #1.

The song is so very TOOL so I liked it!!! It was.... way too long however lol. Typical for Tool, but it's still nowhere near the epicness of songs like "Forty Six & Two" "The Pot" "Schism" and so many others. Still liked "Fear Innoculum" tho. Tool rocks.

It's pretty awesome that this song was able to make it all the way to the top 5. I knew it was well liked but didn't think it would make it this far. My condolences, lyhom and Alex1901 .

Given the inevitable Ghost tank, this was the song that I thought was going to win this whole thing.
...oh my god, is Badflower actually going to win this?

Shakin' Off the Rust is great, too. Make sure that does as well as that or better in 2020.

4. Black Holes (Solid Ground) - The Blue Stones The thing I really liked in the intro is that heavy guitar crunches. Reminded me of a Black Sabbath song. The guy's vocals are decent, but I elevated it for the music.

My 1, 4, and 5 remaining.
I really got into Ghost this year so seeing them well-liked here makes me really happy!
Btw when I submitted the list, I wrote "Blue Holes (Solid Ground)" instead of "Black Holes (Solid Ground)" which I discovered when I was looking at my list a couple days ago to see what I had left. Wtf is a blue hole lol
