I used a preference revealer to come up with this list, and I'm very satisfied with it. I'm including how much these songs have changed since last ranking as well, just for fun. Enjoy!

Absolutely! When you are ranking the Top Ten Worst Songs.

How you rate Children of the Damned at 129 is beyond me but kudos to making the list.

As you scream into the web of silence...
It’s one that has gradually slipped for me. At one point it was a Top 10 contender but it’s just lost a lot of the spark I used to love. Unfortunate, but it is what it is, I guess.

I think you mean The Longest Chorus.

Sure, in the same way that having one finger broken is better than having all your fingers broken...

The chorus isn’t actually bad, it just sort of changes up the song enough to make the second verse and pre-chorus seem kinda eh. The song as a whole is solid enough.
