I'm going to extend the deadline another 12 hours until tomorrow (Saturday the 23rd) until 10:00am EST. Just about 24 hours from now.
Up to 8 participants now, so keep them coming if you're interested!
I do plan on working on reveals throughout the day tomorrow and should start revealing sometime tomorrow night.

Submissions are now CLOSED!
I am super appreciative that there are 10 participants. Honestly, I wasn't sure if there would be more than 5 going back a week ago. Thank you very much to the nine of you that submitted lists.
Anyway, I will work on reveals today and hope to start revealing #31-40 tonight. If not tonight, then definitely tomorrow night.

It’s no surprise to me that this ended up dead last. Pulse usually doesn’t favor reggae-influenced songs that well. Plus, this song isn’t terrific. They have much better in their discography as most of their material is more punk/skate punk-based.
This is their only single ever that charted in the Top 40 of the Alt chart as it spent 8 weeks on it back in 2002 while peaking at #30. I remember my former Alt station playing it a ton back in the day as reggae-influenced songs are favored down here in South Florida.

I knew this song wouldn’t do terrific given how their hits like “Run Around,” “Hook,” and “But Anyway” performed on previous rankdowns. I appreciate Blues Traveler’s sound more than probably most others on here in which I feel they do well. It’s just not for everyone. I would say that this song isn’t as strong as the three previous singles that I mentioned above, but decent enough for a first-time listen personally.
This peaked at #25 in 1997. I could have chosen “Carolina Blues” as well (as that peaked at #30 also in ‘97), which I also don’t recall ever hearing back then.

I’m not too familiar with Cracker overall to be honest. I love “Teen Angst” and “Get Off This." I heard “Low” plenty of times over the years. This song just didn’t do anything for me for some reason with it’s Alt-Country sound. Sorry, @humanshazam .
As I look right now at their other charting singles, I don’t recall any others from the top of my head. Even “Happy Birthday to Me” or “I Hate My Generation” which both peaked at #13 on Alt.
This song ended up peaking at #25 back in 1994. I also could have chosen “Nothing to Believe In,” which peaked at #32.

So… I have to defend this song and band to some extent. I probably underranked it honestly. I’m sure most would agree with me that “Flavor of the Weak” sucked, but if you’re cool with some early 00’s poppy Alt Rock with a bit of a side of Pop-Punk, they have some legit catchy material in their discography.
This song is obviously more of a ballad for American Hi-Fi, but I’ll always correlate it to when I was visiting Boston in the Summer of ‘01 and listening to the radio while walking around the city. This song came on and it was just ideal in that situation at the moment. Just very peaceful to hear.
Anyway, this peaked at #33 on Alt back in 2001. I could have also chosen “The Art of Losing” which ironically also peaked at #33 in 2003.

I won’t deny that this song is kind of “beautiful” it’s own way, but I’m just not a huge fan of Cold in general. Scooter has good vocals, but for me overall, they just exist.
Obviously, most of you probably remember their big hits: “Stupid Girl” and “No One.” This song barely peaked on the Alt Top 40 at #38 back in 2006. I could have also chosen “Suffocate” (peaked at #21) and “Happens All The Time” (peaked at #29).

Please tell me that you tankers didn’t rank this low because it’s called “Alcohol.” I wouldn’t consider this one of the best Barenaked Ladies songs in history, but I’m hoping that most of you can appreciate how damn good some of their material is earlier in their career.
They weren’t anywhere as big in the States as they were in Canada, but even you young-ins now have likely heard their #1 hit “One Week” before or maybe “It’s All Been Done” which hit #15 on Alt.
This song peaked at #33 back in 1999. I vaguely remember hearing it on the radio. I could have also chosen “Pinch Me” (peaked at #30).

It’s no secret to any of you that 311 is one of my favorite bands of all-time. This song is just normal material of theirs to me even though I love their earlier stuff most. I didn’t even know that this was a single until I started researching for this rankdown. I’m not surprised to see this finish Bottom 10 given their history on previous rankdowns.
This one peaked on Alt at #27 in 1993. I could have also chosen “Don’t Stay Home” (peaked at #29) and “Beyond The Gray Sky” (peaked at #39)

I actually completely forgot about this band. They only had one album and “The Energy” was their only song that hit the Top 20 on Alt back in 2002. They began working on a second album, but never fully finished before breaking up in 2004.
Fun fact if you didn’t know. The lead singer, Jason Boyd is Brandon Boyd from Incubus' brother.

All of you should certainly know their cover of “Smooth Criminal” and some may know my personal favorite single of theirs “Movies,” but AAF had some pretty solid other material from their four other albums that I thought deserved to do much better.
This peaked at #29 on Alt back in 2003. No other singles that they released otherwise reached the Top 40 unfortunately. I was a bit surprised that “Attitude” and “Glow” didn’t honestly.

Red will be quite upset when he reads this reveal in a week Close enough. If nothing else, I would have boosted "A Different Kind of Pain" ahead of "Skin". That bothers me greatly. I'm bothered more that, by the time I finally got back into the rankdown spirit, I missed this.
