	Poly's favorite 100 songs of the past 25 years Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

We shall make a better list than the VH1 one, which sucked big time. This was oedo's idea.

List 20 songs. We should probably limit them to rock since only rock songs will win anyway, knowing Poly's demographics. However, we can keep a pretty loose definition of "rock." Each time a song is listed, it gets a point. You can list a song up to 5 times in one list if you really want it to win. So, for example:

1. Avril Lavigne - Complicated
   
2. Avril Lavigne - Complicated
   
3. Avril Lavigne - Complicated
   
4. Avril Lavigne - Complicated
   
5. Avril Lavigne - Complicated
   
6. Avril Lavigne - I'm With You
   
7. Avril Lavigne - I'm With You
   
8. Avril Lavigne - I'm With You
   
9. Avril Lavigne - I'm With You
   
10. Avril Lavigne - I'm With You
    
11. Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip
    
12. Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip
    
13. Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip
    
14. Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip
    
15. Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip
    
16. Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi
    
17. Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi
    
18. Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi
    
19. Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi
    
20. Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi
    

is technically acceptable, even though the rest of poly would ostracize you for the rest of your time posting here. Please vote in the format "Artist - Song"

Here are my votes:
1. U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
2. U2 - Where the Streets Have no Name
3. U2 - With or Without You
4. U2 - One
5. Blink 182 - What's My Age Again
6. Greenday - Good Riddance
7. Matchbox Twenty/Tabitha's Secret - 3 am
8. Matchbox Twenty/Tabitha's Secret - 3 am
9. 3 Doors Down - Kryptonite
10. Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
11. Lifehouse - Hanging by a Moment
12. Metallica - Fade to Black
13. Metallica - Enter Sandman
14. Metallica - Enter Sandman
15. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit.
16-20. Fuel - Hemorrhage (In My Hands)


So leaderboard:

Fuel - Hemorrhage (5)
Metallica - Enter Sandman (2)
Matchbox Twenty/Tabitha's Secret - 3 am (2)
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Metallica - Fade to Black
Lifehouse - Hanging by a Moment
Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
3 Doors Down - Kryptonite
Greenday - Good Riddance
Blink 182 - What's My Age Again
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
U2 - Where the Streets Have no Name
U2 - With or Without You
U2 - One



Yes, I have way too much time on my hands.

Yes, I do. I added three last night actually.

You get the little mac one by going to Civgroups and joining it. I have the mac one because I'd play Civ and post on Poly on some iMacs in my publications room. I actually hate macs though.

Depends on who you ask.
Some find them beyond bland (cookie-cutter), others find them refreshingly real with awesome songs in general. It depends what you look for in music.

Regardless, their debut was the best selling rock album of the 90s (at least -- that's what I heard, worldwide it sold something like 17M copies?), and it was still high on the billboard charts when 2000 rolled around. But it never peaked higher than #3.
