damn, sucks to see FM were locked in the whole way until the end. But at least both I got to rank them high and they performed well this time.
It was going to be a great top 10 anyway

The biggest issue with "Mini Maggit" is the song that it spawned from. "Pink Maggit" is one of the best songs Deftones ever made, devastating in its power. "Mini Maggit" is just another nu-metal song. Granted, it's just another nu-metal song being performed by Deftones, but the point stands. Having said that, when you separate it from the knowledge that this is a far, far, FAR inferior version of a Deftones classic, it's...not that bad. I'm not even sure if it's one of the worst songs in their discog. I mean, "Pink Cellphone" exists, for one. This is 2nd worst to Pink Cellphone Also go The Wagon!

{EH, WORD WALL FEELS RIGHT HERE}#20: I didn't boost this with a 15. That seems slightly worrisome. #19: I swear, when I actually really like a Hole song, THAT'S when people don't like it as much. It's uncanny. (If you had used "Violet" instead, remove the 1 at the end of this song's ranking, and that's where I would have ranked "Violet".) #18: So, apparently, I ranked this and "Gold Dust Woman" at #11. I think it's just a visual error, though, given the movements should be right. Also, I'm shocked this missed the top ten. #17: I'm surprised by how much I liked this, given that I'm not particularly a big fan of DBC. #16: "Come Talk, Dance with Me" I will reference this every time this song shows up in a rankdown until the end of time. #15: TBF, this is one I definitely didn't expect to see in the top ten, but I expected it more than at least one song that outlasted it. #14: I expected this to go out in the bottom half, and, honestly, I thought there was a chance it could be bottom ten. FWIW, only this and "Lithium" would have been ranked this high. I feel like most every other Evanescence songs would have missed my top ten here. #13: Well, I thought this was making the top ten. This is not a very fun stretch. #12: I like The Donnas a lot, but I get why they wouldn't be for everyone. #11: It's not one of my highest remaining, but I was hoping this would make the top ten, anyway. It would have been a more interesting top ten choice than at least one of the songs that did make it. 1 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 13 | 14 | 17 21 I wonder what my lowest remaining is.

I lost my #1 last time, so I might as well lose my #2 right afterwards as Allison hits the road. Glad to see the Gin Blossoms rank in the Top 5.
macattack brought up to me the other day that “Hey Jealousy” never actually charted on Alt before and was only on Active after being a Pop hit. I really wonder where that would have ended up if I could have chosen it for this rankdown. It would be my #1 for sure being one of my favorite songs of all-time.

Top 4 is my top 4! I doubt it's going to go in perfect order though; I'm thinking my top 2 are 3/4 (not sure which comes out ahead), and then my 3 beats my 4

I think I remember not rating this single very well a few years back. Must've been a snap judgement--this is actually great

The Top 2!
Dinosaur Jr. - "The Wagon" vs. Foo Fighters - "Stacked Actors"
Let's be honest. Nothing else had a chance at the top spot in this rankdown. There is a 47 point gap between "Comin' Home" and our #2 ranking. Yet there is only a five-point gap between #1 and #2, so both had very good chances the whole way through.
#2 had the lowest SD and #1 was third in that category.
Seven of you still have your #1 in play. Both songs have #1 picks, so which one of you will celebrate your top rank to victory? We'll find out very soon!

That ends the second rankdown of my Forgotten 90s & 00s Alternative Songs Series. I will be doing a third rankdown in this series, but... in between, I will be doing a genre rankdown. One that I know we've never had on Pulse before. Some of you know what it is. I hope that you all participate as it should be "reel big" fun (*hint hint*).
Thank you a ton to the nine of you who took part in this rankdown. It's hard to get many people on Pulse to do a rock-related rankdown, so I really appreciate you taking the time to do so. Also, for being so patient with my long periods in between reveals as my free time is limited.
I hope that you either re-discovered or maybe discovered some tunes that weren't huge hits on the Alternative chart. Congrats again to the five of you that had "Stacked Actors" as your #1.

Yooo very solid top two! Also I listened again and I’m realizing I underranked Comin’ Home. It’s a solid song and I’m glad it made top three! I also liked a lot of songs here so it was hard to determine some song placements.
Thanks AI for hosting, this was another solid rankdown from you!

{REVENGE OF THE WORD WALL}#10: This grew on me a LOT from when it showed up in 1998 Alt as an extra. I thought it was fine then, but on this listen, it really clicked. Maybe I do need to revisit some songs that I wasn't as kind to in the past. #9: That was decidedly not the song I was expecting to be mac's 39. #8: This is the one I was expecting to be mac's 39. Okay. #7: I wish we got to rank this instead of "Good Riddance", but since that was never going to happen, I'll say that I wish we got to rank this alongside "Good Riddance". #6: While this was a fairly big hit (I mean, it did make the 2000 Hot 100 YE), I won't lie, I'm a little annoyed that we didn't get to rank it in Alt. I think it would have done VERY well there. #5: I'm fairly sure that "Hey Jealousy" would have won this, and, with as much as that song has grown on me over time, I probably would have ranked it higher than "Allison Road". It's better than average Gin Blossoms, but it's still Gin Blossoms. #4: I don't know why this song shocked me as much as it did, given my general love of The Human League, but I wasn't expecting turn of the 90's Human League to sound this good. #3: Okay, every Hum song I've heard so far has been great. Every last one. Why have I not done a deeper dive into their discog? 1 vs. 4 I expect my 1 to win, but I would have no issues whatsoever with my 4 winning. Jesus christ, the gap between the top two and #3, though. #2: Strike that above comment, I was kind of rooting for this. #1: Well, now that it has won a RD, I guess I can officially remove it from a RD list I put together. I love just how forceful and punchy "Stacked Actors" is, more than anything else. It might actually be my second favorite FF song now. (Nothing's topping "Everlong", but that's to be expected.) As always, American Idiot, great job hosting. I really enjoy the effort and enthusiasm you always put into these RDs. I saw what the next RD is, and...hoo boy. That's going to be a fun one.
