Okay, well, I need to inform you about two things before I go on, and these are pretty crucial. First of all, the only requirement for this countdown is that I have to think that the song falls under one of the many rock formats, sub-genres or whathaveyou. If you're anything but, you're not making the countdown. (That means you, "Flashing Lights". Me so sorry.) Secondly, I...uh, lied a bit about the whole "layout" thing at the end of the first post. I did spruce it up a bit, admittedly, but it's still more of a test run than anything, to see if it's really that great. You'll notice one thing right off the bat as being "borrowed" from another person's weekly countdown. Take a guess as to who's it is.

Next week, I will incorporate a lot more features into the layout of the countdown, such as "Last Week", more info on peaks and weeks on the countdown, and random stuff like that, but, for now, this is the countdown. Honestly, as far as this countdown is concerned, my main goal is to get one person who doesn't normally listen to rock to check out these songs, to give them a shot, and see if they like them. That, my friends, is what The Blokk of Rokk is all about. Well, that, and me choosing my top twenty rock songs of the week. That's pretty darn important to me.
See you next week.
