So is this your opinion? Or did you just randomly look at some CDs in your collection and pick a song? Obviously this wasn't based on radio play, album sales or (for the most part) bands who changed music in any great manner.

actually its a combonation of those things. these happen to be some of my favorite songs. also they have been placed on a list of most played and requested songs as well as overall just good songs by 107.7 the end a radio station here in Seattle that has got nation wide acceptance as one of the best. also as far as what you said about these bands having not changed music in any great manner are you kidding me? are you saying nirvana didnt change music, you must be joking. in a time when almost eveything else was pure pop these guys came out did something incredibly different and succeeded. and green day was one of the first bands to bring punk to the mainstream and to a whole new generation of kids. as far as sublime goes they put ska back on the map and even tweaked that to come out with there own original sound. as for the others they might not have changed music all that much but they definetly took it to a whole other level.
 
It seems, Chameleon, we are both fans of the great and everpowerful Maynard James Keenan :D :cheers:
 
Well let me add my thoughts on my top 15

1) 3 Libras -A Perfect Circle
2) Stinkfist -Tool
3) Pardon Me -Incubus
4) Orestes -A Perfect Circle
5) Parabol/Parabola -Tool
6) Outside -Staind
7) Sober -Tool
8) Eulogy -Tool
9) Prison Sex -Tool
10) Coma White -Marlin Manson
11) Weak and Powerless -A Perfect Circle
12) Halo -A Perfect Circle
13) Swamp Song -Tool (This used to make my ex really horny and start stripping.)
14) No Quarter -Tool
15) Aenima -Tool

are the only "top rock songs of the past 10 years", most of those others are the tops of the past 3...........if you're going to put a weezer song you should've picked "buddy holly". I've never heard of "say it aint so", then again I dont listen to weezer.

11.Basket Case - Green Day
12.Sober - Tool
13.Chop Suey - System of a Down
14.Forest - System of a Down
15Hard to Explain - The Strokes

There's my top 15 in no particular order. A lot of variety, but all good songs. i know under the bridge is like 12 years old now, but i couldn't leave it out :)
if you havn't heard any of these songs, i would highly recommend listening to them.
 
those were actually good.

The reason I put "buddy holly" was because it was a more-known song than "say it aint so". The list you made was actually pretty good, excluding the system of a down, tool and rhcp, but pretty good. 1=2 we hope that you choke.

my top 10 ALBUMS(sorry too hard to chose songs) in no order

loveless-my bloody valentine
gilder-my bloody valentine
the death fo cool-kitchens of distinction
white album unplugged-the beatles
fantasma-cornelius
ok computer-radiohead
sf59 "silver"-starflyer 59
meddle-pink floyd (the wall sucks!)
magical mystery tour-beatles
strange free world-kitchens of distinction
 
those songs

most MOST were released between 1996 and 2000. I dont have to like weezer or listen to them. I only own the "blue" album (it sucks) and I did own the "green" album and gave it away because it sucked. I've heard the new album........it sucks. I just dont like weezer. If "say it aint so" is on one of those albums I didnt like it and didnt pay attention to the name. sorry........
 
say it aint so is great but i dont think it makes the top 10...ill give it a stab.

fugazi- smallpox champion
nirvana- smells like teen spirit
soundgarden- black holed sun
live- lightning crashes
oasis- champagne supernova
greenday- longview
greeday- basketcase
beck- where its at
deftones- minerva
tool- aenema
alice in chains- rooster
rage against the machine- testify
janes addiction- its not a habit its cool
marilyn manson- the beautiful people
queens of the stone age- no one knows
the verve- bittersweet symphony

ok maybe i got a little carried away...
:rolleyes:

your list

That list sounds like the most radio played songs of the last ten years, but I'll have to admit some of those were not radio hits. I'd say "pink magot" is a better deftones song, or "mx". Those are great songs! Why does everyone on this board listen to metal? I understand this is a "metal" board, but does anyone like alt? Like indie music?
 
Theres alot of alternative in my list. And they were all played alot on the radio except fuagzi. I had to take into consideration sociological impact of course. I think those songs share the common rare traits of being popular on a wide scale and being musically fresh at the same time.:victory:
