Surprised I never replied to this, but that’ll change now!
AGREED BIG TIME on “By The Sword” and “Viva La Vida”. VLV is one of my most hated songs of all-time, and “By The Sword” was Slash’s attempt at becoming an indie douche. He actually said that the lead single from that album was supposed to be his duet with Ozzy, “Crucify The Dead” (which was also my favorite from that album), but he changed it to “By The Flop” because Ozzy was releasing his new single/album at the time and didn’t want to confuse people. I’d rather he confuse people than drop the ball on his solo album, or at least release it as single #2 instead of the Fuglie collab.
Don’t remember The Bravery & 30 Seconds To Mars songs.
WTF NOT JOAN JETT
I loved that song ever since I was a kid! It is quite overplayed though so I’ll cut you a little slack.
Agreed with “Blister In The Sun”. Overrated as hell.
OH HELL NO YOU DID NOT JUST DISS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE BON JOVI SONG. IMMA PULL A WEAVE OUT BITCH!11
I think everything Queen does is overrated tbh so naturally I agree with you there. Seether’s cover of “Careless Whisper” is okay (and let’s face it, it’s way better than the original
), but what disturbed me more than the song itself was that the lead singer was CLEARLY copying Kurt Cobain on the single cover with the red hair. Wannabe.
As I said on M4B, “Picture” was good until about the 287th time.
JOURNEY?! Um, NO.
Don’t remember the Godsmack song but that’s probably for the best, and of course I agree with you on the indie douches to end all indie douches, The Killers.
Kansas are a good band but “Dust In The Wind” is boring. Don’t remember “I Disappear” or “Whiskey In The Jar”.
OMG FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME ON MR. BIG. “To Be With You” is overrated beyond belief!! It’s so boring.
Also agreed on “Turn The Page”. Don’t remember Blue October’s song.
Disagreed on “Flagpole Sitta” although I can understand where you’re coming from.
Don’t remember Anberlin’s song.
“21 GUNS”?! I loooove that song
Was a #1 hit for me in 2009 in what was otherwise a heavy metal-dominated year on my chart.
Don’t remember Muse’s song.
Agreed on Tool but SUPER agreed on “Mr. Brightside”. If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone overpraise that song I’d be a millionaire. It was always just there for me.
“Like A Stone”?! Awww that’s my favorite Audioslave song.
Definitely agreed with “Sick” and “Sex On Fire” though but I don’t remember “Burn”.
I am VERY surprised at your #1
I expected it to be a song of recent years like “Use Somebody” or something like that lol. “Right Now” is okay but definitely one of my least favorite Van Halen songs. It’s a song I have to be in the mood for.
Overall, great list!
