Nickd sent his completed ballot yesterday, and Jugg told me he won't have time to submit, so now I am only awaiting the entries of Beno and Lordef†ones.

A glorious dawn has arrived, and this rankdown will be closing up with 18 submissions (equal to the turnout for Post-Punk Gold)! Hopefully I can prepare reveals #36-24 so I can post them starting at 7pm CT/8pm CT tomorrow singingrulebritannia@humanshazam @trilogy American Idioteiddeaerodynamiterowellfarm490dgarcia3377willapted33annoymous1wripSambaladaMoDpeaceboneRednickdLordef†onesBenoIn the meantime I have some queries to probe your minds and get a guessing game going - Which songs do you predict to make the top 10? If you want to go further: what 3 songs never left the top 10? (hint: they finished at #1, #5, and #6)
- Bonus round: 5 songs occupied the winning position at some point, and they landed at #1, #2, #5, #6, and #11. What were they?
- On the other hand: 4 songs were #36 at some point--the bottom 3 and the eventual #23. What songs were these? And what are the other 2 songs in the bottom 2?
- What songs will feature very low or very high standard deviations?
- Which 4 songs were the only ones to receive no top 5s?
- What is your most vulnerable top 10? Which of your bottom 10 do you expect to lose last?
- Where did you rank your favorite first listen?

I feel like 10cc, Slowdive and MBV are the only top 10 locks but most of the time I'm really off so take this with a grain of salt

I feel like 10cc, Slowdive and MBV are the only top 10 locks but most of the time I'm really off so take this with a grain of salt I'd swap MBV with Gen X. I think MBV will get to the top ten, but, given that this isn't like their normal fare, it wouldn't shock me if it missed, either. Which songs do you predict to make the top 10? If you want to go further: what 3 songs never left the top 10? (hint: they finished at #1, #5, and #6) -- The aforementioned songs, "Schizophrenia", "You Made Me Realise", and I think we'll see a couple of songs in or near my bottom ten in there, too. I think that 10cc, Slowdive, and Gen X were also the songs to spend every movement in the top ten, and I think either "Alison" or "Dancing With Myself" won. On the other hand: 4 songs were #36 at some point--the bottom 3 and the eventual #23. What songs were these? And what are the other 2 songs in the bottom 2? -- I have no idea, though I do have a bad feeling that the eventual #23 is a song I boosted pretty hard...not my #1, but not far off. I could even see it being bottom three, potentially. In a rankdown this strong, it would not surprise me. What songs will feature very low or very high standard deviations? -- I think "Deadhead" has a high SD. The song I boosted hard probably has a high SD, too, especially if it ended up outside of the bottom ten. I could see "Lexicon Devil" having a high SD, maybe. Low SDs are tougher, as always. I feel like "Dancing With Myself" would be pretty universal. Which 4 songs were the only ones to receive no top 5s? -- I have no idea. The two that popped into my head immediately were "Green-Eyed Lady" and "Bloodstains", but it's entirely possible I'm wrong about those. What is your most vulnerable top 10? Which of your bottom 10 do you expect to lose last? -- The song I've already talked about multiple times. Maybe my #7, too. I did not see the second part of this initially, oops. As I mentioned earlier, I think a couple of songs in my bottom ten will have a very good top ten chance. The most likely are my #29 and my #33, though I could also see my #31 and #32 getting there, too. I don't think that any of them will win, but I fully expect to clear my bottom ten late in the game. Where did you rank your favorite first listen? -- *gulp* #1.

Ok, so I've decided I will not be revealing the first set tonight. Luckily, this decision is not for any tragic reason. An idea came to me last night in terms of reveal presentation, and it's something I won't be able to cleanly implement before the evening approaches. I want to make sure that, whatever I'm planning, I'm doing it right. Also, I'm hoping to use the extra time to get ahead of the game and prepare all (or as many as I can) of the reveals before I post the first set. As a consequence, you as participants also have more time...to speculate!

Not gonna answer every question since I'll probably guess a lot wrong but I'll make a few predictions: 1. Some possible top tens could be 10cc, Generation X, Slowdive, maybe The Who and PUP? 2. I really don't know what the bottom songs are but hoping I can lose at least half of my bottom six in the first set of reveals lol 3. This list was really solid overall, and like 95% discoveries so I'm interested to see how these do

The driving idea behind this song was not the most original, for sure. But the track has a seat at my table anyway for its uber-catchiness and the feeling that you're among friends whenever you turn it on 464 Points Standard Deviation: 9.735052225 Average Rank: 25.77777778

This might actually be my favorite last place song in any rankdown you've made, hell, maybe even my favorite last place in any personal RD I didn't host.
This rankdown is a good one. (Understatement of the freaking century.)

I find it kind of sad how this album sometimes gets forgotten about among Lennon's solo albums. This song has a very particular aura in terms of its pacing and the layered atmosphere that I can very much get down with. 464 Points Standard Deviation: 9.807293538 Average Rank: 25.77777778

Well, I thought this was going to last way longer. Wow.
I was not expecting to rank Lennon bottom five going in, but, honestly, outside of a few songs, I don't think Lennon's solo career reaches the heights of his Beatles work. This is a pretty damn good one, admittedly.

This is the definition of punk music, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm not shocked it's low, but I'm shocked it did this poorly.

Well, I was definitely wrong about this song not having a top five.
This is one of the songs I'm most eager to revisit. Punk tends to be a grower genre for me more than most genres.

I guess I'm a little disappointed to see "Bloodstains" so low. If we somehow end up ranking "The Last Goodbye" one day I'll probably give that song a very high ranking.
