Things stay close as once again, #18 is only one point higher than “Wasted & Ready.” Two Top 10s are taken away. However, someone finally clears their Bottom 10.

I don’t believe that I heard this song prior to this rankdown. I never really gave Cold War Kids my attention until “First” was released.
This was their second charting single on Alt ever after “Hang Me Out to Dry” as this peaked at #39. No other single would have qualified for this rankdown since they were all released after 2010.
Congrats to rowellfarm490 for clearing your Bottom 10.

This was one of the first songs that I heard from Anti-Flag. I’ve been a big fan of theirs since the beginning.
While they haven’t had a ton of success on radio for obvious reasons, their sound has become more “poppy” if that’s a good term with their new album from earlier this year. May we possibly see future songs of theirs chart on Active? I can’t see it on Alt, but maybe.
Actually, this is their only single ever to chart on Alt ever in their history at #37 back in 2006.

My knowledge of Band of Horses is limited as I can only name a few of their songs by memory. The rankings here are interesting as there were basically two different groups.
This song peaked at #34 in 2008. They have never made it to any of our Year-End Alt Rankdown lists besides being extras. “Casual Party” and “Laredo” are too new as choices to be used here otherwise.
Kudos to newpower for clearing your Bottom 10.

"Is There A Ghost" felt kind of obvious and thin songwriting-wise--like I could anticipate every beat from the first few seconds--so the big emotional rush it was attempting didn't land for me

I forgot about this song until researching for this rankdown. There was a rumor back in the day that this song was about herpes, but it’s been denied by the band.
Obviously, you all remember “I Believe In A Thing Called Love,” as it peaked at #9 in 2004 but this didn’t seem to be nearly as memorable. This one peaked at #31. The Darkness have not charted since.

A lot of you should remember “Say This Sooner” as that peaked at #7 on Alt back in 2007. As I write this, Billboard’s site is down, so I can’t confirm where this song peaked back then.
The Almost actually had a new album released last year. Their first since 2013. If you didn’t know, they are fronted by Aaron Gillespie from Underoath.
Congrats to alexcuse for clearing your Bottom 10.

Ok, so this #12 reveal is insane. It is tied in points with #11. Both songs have a #1 loss, so I couldn’t judge by that. Both have the same number of second highest rankings, and both have the same number of third-highest rankings.
FINALLY, the fourth highest ranking was able to make a difference. One person will also lose a Top 5 here too.
This finishes three points higher than “Southern Weather” and also had the second-highest SD with both a #1 and #40.

I’m quite surprised that this was able to make it as high as #12 (or #11) as Collective Soul never really does well on Pulse. It’s not one of my favorite songs of theirs, but I’m good at listening to it on occasion.
This song peaked at #36 in 1999. I could have also chosen “No More, No Less” (peaked at #32 in 1999) and “She Said” (peaked at #39 in 1998).
My condolences to alexcuse for losing your #1. Somewhere right now, singingrulebritannia is rejoicing.

Here’s the winner with the tie and just misses out on the Top 10. As said in the last reveal, there is a #1 loss here along with Top 5 loss as well.
As I said earlier, I likely will reveal the Top 10 sometime on Friday night EST as I expect work to kick my ass this week.

This was the first Brand New song that I ever heard and to this day is still my favorite of theirs of all-time. Unfortunately, I lose my #1 here.
I think I actually made a mistake with this song as I don’t believe it ever hit the Top 40 on Alt. “The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows” could have been chosen as it peaked at #37 in 2003. I would not have chosen that at #1, so now I’m eager to see how that might have changed things. I likely would have put it somewhere in my Top 10 though.
Congrats to peacebone for clearing your Bottom 10.

never been a fan of Brand New pre-Devil And God, sorry!
This is a pretty cool and varied top 10 overall. Neat to see bands/artists like Cave In, The Breeders, The Bravery, and Angie Aparo show up this high (even if they aren't my highest left). My only rooting interest is against Arcade Fire at this point.

I don’t believe that I knew this song prior to researching for this rankdown, but between this and hearing “Cannonball” tons of times over the years, I really have to do a discog run of their five albums. The Breeders have a solid early Alt Rock sound and I’m glad to see them make the Top 10.
This peaked at #28 on Alt back in 1993. “Saints” went to #12 in 1994 if you remember it from the year-end rankdown that we did.

I actually love the Beastie Boys and consider them one of the pioneers of hip-hop. However, I just didn’t care for this song which was from one of my favorite albums of theirs “Hello Nasty.” With that being said, I clear my Bottom 10.
This song peaked at #29 in 1999. “So What’cha Want” could have been the only other choice that I had instead at #22 in 1992.
