14. Your Power - Billie Eilish At least she isn't invoking the dead with her music anymore. Music is soothing. I'm just not a fan of her singing style.

31. Mercy - Ayron Jones This is an alright rock jam. I like mine faster and louder. Found it easy to give it top 40 on this list.

Ayron Jones has been a bright spot on Active this year, 3 for 3 on great singles in my book.
Edit: Brando is usually the kind of song that is not my thing, but something about it just caught me. Glad it got this far at least.

On one hand, thank goodness this missed the top 10. On the other hand, Screen Violence is actually a great album and this was the weakest song on it so hopefully you don't dismiss the album based on this one song.

I swear to God if the same song was in this list but it was labelled "<EDM producer> f/ CHVRCHES" instead of just "CHVRCHES", half of you would rank this 15 spots lower

I don’t understand why they chose this as the lead single, by far the weakest song I’ve heard from this album

11. He Said She Said - CHVRCHES One of the weakest songs I have ever heard from this band. Those added effix are so distracting from her beautiful vocals. Its like running a chainsaw during an opera performance.

A few of songs I think deserve some mentioning.
29. Saturday - twenty one pilots this is a decent little pop bop. There is something missing from modern pop acts when they try to 80's up there music. I feel their heart isn't in the vocal delivery. This song for instance would have been good for New Edition.
28. Heat Above - Greta Van Fleet A mighty fine Rock song right here. I'm glad they didn't just try making the same song over and over, but still stuck to a traditional 70's -80's instrument arrangements.
27. All My Favorite Songs - Weezer Why is this song still on Active rock? Why did it ever make an appearance to begin with? easily one of Weezer's worst efforts ever. The worst part is the longevity of this travesty will kill off chances of another single from the record.
26. Sticky - The Maine Has that old Third Eye Blind sound, and I love the accent of his vocals. Missed out on charting this, but I recently discovered another one off the album titled "Lips" that is currently on my proper pop radar.
25. Once in a Lifetime - All Time Low This is one of the more true to that sound songs of the year. One of the best sounding Alternative rock jams of 2021. Pure sing a long fire. No B.S, no bears rapping, missing a Demi cameo, but still a melodic wonder that is still enjoying top 10 status on my own music charts. can't understand why everyone isn't creaming over this?
24. Don't Back Down - Mammoth WVH This is alright. He writes good music, but his vocals are missing that 80's flair, which would make his songs all the more enjoyable.
23. Distorted Light Beam - Bastille This is the best they have put out in years. I tried to like this more, but it takes to long to go anywhere. His accent is still the best aspect to the band's music.
22. Making a Fire - Foo Fighters This one steams me quite a bit. What are you all doing? This should have gotten top 5 across the board. What is there not to love? You have a perfect drum intro which goes right into the epicguitar hook and the soulful lalala's. yes this song has soul, attitude ,and rides hard on strong melodic guitar hooks. Dave roars his way through it the way no one else can. In short this song is like Fire added to a torch. It's blazing.
19. Better Without You - Evanescence So many female rockers have dominated my 2021 charts that I kinda passed on this one, but I will surely give it high ranks for 2021 end of year RD.
18. Freaks - Surf Curse The song literally stays in the same guitar hook the whole song through. After a while it kinda makes me drift off. His vocals abilities did little to entice my ears.
17. Only Love Can Save Me Now - The Pretty Reckless f/ Matt Cameron & Kim Thayil Honestly the intro doesn't quite hold my attention. Once she starts singing it becomes better, but still the weakest single off the record yet. One of these guys is from Soundgarden? I think "Spoonman" 's guitar hook would have done wonders for this song.

I overranked it but why did Vertigo make the top ten? It’s not even that good, honestly it’s kind of annoying. The rest of the songs I’m fine with making it.

Ooh I haven't felt the wonderful sting of doing this poorly in a rankdown in so long. So many of my top 10 lost in quick succession... Love Race deserves so much more love and at least Wait a Minute My Girl made top 15. I can at least say there's a lot of unexpected songs in the top 10 here. Just wish they were all unexpectedly good too

I've missed the reveals, but I may try to get some comments in at some point. This top 10 definitely reflects that Alt is currently the leading "subgenre" of the rock fans hanging out here (though none of the songs were alt exclusives - they all had at least one other chart they touched).
By my count, we have the following breakdown (adds up to more than 10 due to most songs being on multiple charts):
Alt: 10 (Be Sweet, Bed Head, Down, Hush, Mars Simula, Shy Away, Angel of 8th Ave, Transparent Soul, Typhoons, Vertigo) AAA: 7 (Be Sweet, Bed Head, Down, Hush, Shy Away, Angel of 8th Ave, Vertigo) Active: 4 (Mars Simula, Shy Away, Transparent Soul, Typhoons
I counted any chart the song showed up on, even if it wasn't what drove its appearance on the RD. Shy Away is the only one to touch all three charts (though it barely made Active at #50)
My answers to the questions:
1. What songs are you surprised to see in the top 10? If any, Transparent Soul. Had not realized it had built a strong enough fan base.
2. What are you surprised to see miss the top 10? Brando
3. Predict the top 10.
10. Transparent Soul 9. Vertigo 8. Typhoons 7. Down 6. Angel of 8th Ave 5. Shy Away 4. Hush 3. Mars Simula 2. Be Sweet 1. Bed Head

Oh damn, I missed two sets of reveals. Well here's some thoughts:
- I thought "Serotonin" and "Stop Making This Hurt" were gonna go further even though I put both in my bottom 10. I feel particularly bad about "Serotonin" cuz I like gir and am rooting for her to do well, but I just cannot enjoy this song if my life depended on it.
- I probably heavily underrated "Making A Fire". It's really those nah-nahs that turn me off of it.
- Over the past year or so, I've been liking Billie Eilish's songs more and more. I'm expecting to get burned out on her eventually, but it hasn't happened yet.
- Yeah, "Freaks" is my number 1 song. I'm a sucker for this kinda sound. I certainly don't mind simple and/or short songs as long as they have a sound that gets me in a good mood.
Honestly, only top 10 surprise to me is "Mars Simula". I'm not the biggest fan of this one, but I really love "Self Destructor" and like Chevelle in general, so I don't mind. My prediction for top 10:
10. Hush 9. Mars Simula 8. Vertigo 7. Transparent Soul 6. Shy Away 5. Bed Head 4. Angel of 8th Ave. 3. Typhoons 2. Down 1. Be Sweet

While Mirago just lost a #3 rank, Mirago (or otherwise, BB) was also the tie-breaker for this rank as Mirago loses a #1, sadly.
