Quick thoughts:
10. Good Weezer song. My lowest rank of the top 10 and its a 41 9. Bad News. I just can't stop listening to this song 8. SWE. Honestly I should have given this an even higher ranking. I've been listening to it more recently. 7. My First Perfect Ranking in a song rankdown! 6. So Long... just one of those nice sounding songs 5. Tool. It grows on you like a Tool does. 4. Loved this immediately.
I've got a 5, 6, and 19 left. Can't complain, even if the 19 wins.

10. The End of the Game: Kinda surprised this made the top 10. Not gonna complain about it, though. I'll take this Weezer over the cover happy one anyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
9. Bad News: I wish the lyrics were better. Everything else about this was solid.
8. A Grave Mistake: I dug the piano driven beginning. Well done song.
7. Sleep Walking Elite: I see they got to use the whale horn from My Favorite Color is Blue. The guitar playing was nicely done and the vocals were fine, I guess.
6. So Long: I guess a few of you didn't care for Douglas Adams? That's where the title came from. This is a nicely done rock song.
5. Fear Inoculum: See, this is where this song belonged. I do wish the vocals were a bit better, but the instrumentation was solidly done. And I didn't mind that it was nearly ten minutes or so.
4. Black Holes: Well done rock song. Not really much more to say.

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 lolI looked it up just to be funny and apparently blue holes actually are a thing LMAO.

"Dance Macabre" please pull through! Although I wouldn't be completely mad if "The Jester" wins since I love that one too.

OH MY GOD
So, when I read the list for the first time, I was like... "Dance Macabre" has this. I NEVER expected, however, that the flawless Badflower would make it to the TOP 2 with their phenomenal masterpiece "The Jester." Like, I gathered early on it would be top 20... but I expected it out in the teens, or early top 10 at best! But no... here we are, top 2! I am so happy. This never happens for me in Active RDs. I still have a top 3, like what lol.. Definitely rooting for it but honestly just so thrilled it made it to the top 2, that no matter what happens, I won't be upset.

DANCE MACABRE vs. THE JESTER Which song will win the Active 2019 rankdown? Neither Ghost nor Badflower have won a rock chart rankdown before though Ghost has come close being in the final pairing last year with "Rats". Badflower, on the other hand, hadn't even made a top ten before now. Both songs spent time at #1 though one of them for more time than the other. There was no run away winner either as the 2 were only separated by 35 points. One of these songs received 15 top 10s while the other only had 10. The latter gained ground though by having 11 more top 25 rankings compared to only 3 for the former. Both songs had low standard deviations: 7th lowest vs. 19th lowest. Each also had at least one bottom half ranking. 7 posters still have their #1 in the game: @humanshazam , janinho , wheatsquares33 , @trilogy , Geometrical , and fearlessarrow along with myself. Who among us, if anyone, will get to see their favorite be crowned champion? Find out in a few minutes...

Last year, I had two clear cut favorites in Active. At the time, they were two of my three favorite songs of the entire year, so when "TalkTalk" went out at #3 there, I still had "Rats" to fall back on. (When that didn't win, "Deathwish" was a pretty good consolation prize.)
This time around, there was a clear #1, and everything else was a distant second. Even Tool was a distant second to "Faith".
4 vs. 16, but I don't really care about the winner now. I had songs and bands that I was rooting for in the top 20 and top 10, but this is the only song I really cared about.

3. Faith - Ghost This was easily one of my top rock songs of 2019. Surprised with a few of those #1's, but I think it might be to override "Dance Macabre", which would suck.

Team Jester... I guess.
Faith > Dance Macabre.
DON'T @ ME.
I realized I had Macabre higher, but it would be disappointing imo if that is Ghost's best performer.

Betcha thought "Dance Macabre" was going to be my #1. Nope, my favorite song of the year is actually "The Jester". Going in I was honestly just hoping it would be able to make the top 20. But once I saw it in the top 10 I was pulling for it to secure a spot there. Never though did I think it would make it all the way to the final 2, I AM STUNNED.

HELL YEAH!!!!! "Dance Macabre" was one of my top favorite songs last year across all genres (it was #2 on my year-end chart) and most of you know me as a country/pop poster so that's how much I love that song. I'm really glad that it was able to finish #1!!
