I'm a bit shocked to see "While You Still Can" be the runaway #3 contender! I do like it a lot, but don't think it's THAT much better than the rest of the album to hold everything else back without any trouble whatsoever. Especially because "Pushing Up Daisies" got WAY more high ranks than this one did! I guess ultimately the lack of super low ranks really helped this one out significantly!

Was I just another ghost in this town? Who was I when no one was around? Did I even know what I was livin' without? Who where all of my favorite songs about?
I heard I was a wild one Acted like a child some But I really don't recall Heard I was a fast one Always was the last one Waitin' for the other shoe to fall I've seen pictures And I've heard stories 'Bout the boy I used to be But I don't remember me
Was my heart beatin' in my chest? Was I even alive before the day we met?1.

Oh good, the right single won this time!! I was worried we'd have a repeat of what happened with the debut album.

Oh wow! I feel like this winner is a bit of a surprise to me! "Shoot Me Straight" being the bigger hit I thought would be the obvious choice. I do enjoy "I Don't Remember Me" though. It took me several listens to remember anything about it, but now I definitely see what the fuss is all about. Thanks for hosting castleoblivion26!! I'm excited to see how the Extras rankdown goes now, because there are songs in that rankdown that I am WAAAAY more passionate about than anything on either of their albums :)

But I feel like I heard "Stay A Little Longer" and "It Ain't My Fault" just about equally on the radio, so I would not have been surprised to see either of them win. Whereas "Shoot Me Straight" felt just like those two in terms of impact, but "I Don't Remember Me" has been much more like "21 Summer" in terms of impact. (Of course I'm just talking about my perception of their impact in my region. Lol I don't care enough about them to memorize actual chart stats)

The top two played out exactly how I expected. Both are fantastic songs, but "Shoot Me Straight" is on another whole level! If someone asks me for the best example of rock country, I will point them in the direction of this song. It replaced "It Ain't My Fault" as being my fav song from them. "I Don't Remember Me (Before You)" has a killer melody and great lyrics! Just all around a gorgeous song. I'm not upset to see it win. Thanks for hosting castleoblivion26

Predictable top 2 and I would be happy if either one wins. Thanks castleoblivion26 for hosting the rankdown for the two albums. The Extra rankdown should be fun.

I’ll always associate “While You Still Can” with the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting because I got to see them perform this song in a very intimate setting less than two weeks after that horrific incident. Let me tell you there wasn’t a dry eye in the house and everyone really needed to take a moment of silence to collect themselves after they finished it. I still find it a bit hard to listen to this song and really have to be in the right frame of mind when I do. I’m so glad that this was able to make it into the top three.
As much as I love to jam out to “Shoot Me Straight” it is the song “I Don’t Remember Me (Before You)” that I’ve really come to love the most from the album, but it did take a while for that one to grow on me. It was about this time last year when I saw them again here in Austin and this was their current single climbing the charts. It has definitely become another fan favorite as I heard everyone singing along to it, so it’s a bit disappointing and frustrating that it wasn’t able to go onto become a bigger hit for them. Very glad to see this one win!

I am super late to this since I have been working almost daily. I noticed my number 5 and 1 on the debut album are switched. I had Stay A Little Longer at 1 and Pawn Shop at 5. It probably doesn't matter though.
I will say Shoot Me Straight is probably my favorite BO song. I Don't Remember Me (Before You) grew on me so much from the announcement of the single to me ranking it so much

Hopefully there’s no other discrepancies otherwise we could have a new winner lol!

There is the final point total for the Pawn Shop Rankdown. I went through every list so there should not be any further errors. Sorry about that!

I expect a legendary battle between "All My Favorite People" and "Burning Man" in the top 2, and hope AMFP can pull off the win!
"Shoot From the Hip" for last place? Or maybe "Take Me To The Pilot"?

Not surprised to see what left. Those two songs felt more on the weaker end of the solo material that was in here. I'm imagining the features would end up duking it out near the top though.

Take Me To The Pilot is a highlight of Restoration. Sad that it is only bottom 2 here as they added their style to the song nicely...

"Shoot From The Hip" vastly overstayed. What a clunker!
This is more or less the perfect top 6 though! I imagine it is going to be "Love The Lonely Out Of You" next, with all the features making the top 5. Although "Good At Tonight" could be in danger because David Nail is worshipped by some and treated like the forgettable non-event that he is by others, so he is hard to predict here. "Hard Workin' Man" could be in danger too I suppose, just because B&D's newest album is a huge mess production-wise. But imo the Bros turned in one of the better performances on that album!

At least "Good at Tonight" made the top half! I'm still salty to this day about this flopping granted it came off of "Night's on Fire" which failed to crack the top 10 which his previous two lead singles were able to do.

I have tried and tried, but no matter how many times I have listened to it, I cannot remember how "Good At Tonight" goes... I do enjoy it moderately when I am listening to it, but its lack of ability to leave an impression means it definitely needed to leave before everything else that is left.
