1) PM both me (singingrulebritannia) and peacebone the top 100 Active Rock songs of 2020, all ranked to your preference. (e.g. if you like a song the most, rank it the highest and vice versa). If you do not send your ranking to both me and peacebone, your ranking will be discarded, so please make sure to send to both of us.
2) The points a song has will be totaled up based on an inverse point system. So if you rank a song #100, it gets 1 point, and if you rank a song #1, it gets 100 points. All the points from the participants will be totaled up.
3) The due date for submission is Friday, January 22nd. The deadline time is 11:59PM CST. Considering this will be a 4-week period for a current-year list, don't expect extensions to be given.
4) ALL songs must be ranked.
5) To avoid posting with duplicate lines when you PM me, click BBCode below the text box before pasting your list.
6) All your rankings will be posted when I post a song in this thread.
7) You are allowed to make changes to your rankings, as long as you do so before the deadline. Any changes that are made after the deadline will not be counted.
8) Please try to make the effort to listen to every song in full.
9) A handful of songs on this rankdown are listed here as remixes or re-recordings. If there is a contemporaneous version--i.e. one released within the same era--of the song that you would prefer to use for your ranking (for example, The Hu-only versions of "Yuve Yuve Yu" and "Wolf Totem"), you may do so. Note that this does not apply to cases like "Dear Agony" and "All Within My Hands"; for those songs, you must rank the versions present here, not their original studio versions.
