My head will explode trying to do this.

 

Pat's gonna be so mad when he sees my list haha

Very interesting Bad Religion pick but I'm into it!

 

Easily my favorite BR track post 90’s. Love the Riff in the Bridge.

 

It's a sick song! I'm trying to figure out how to not make my list mostly The Process of Belief and The Empire Strikes First lol

 

My god your lists are already making me realize how much harder this is going to be than I originally thought.

 

Hahah I love those records too. New America came out in May of my senior year of High School, so that song is killer Nostalgia for me.

 

1. Beyonce feat. Jay-Z - Crazy in Love
2. Usher feat. Ludacris and Lil Jon - Yeah!
3. Evanescence - Going Under
4. Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone
5. Linkin Park - Numb
6. Jimmy Eat World - Kill
7. Taylor Swift - Tim McGraw
8. Coldplay - Fix You
9. Avril Lavigne - I'm With You
10. Britney Spears - Toxic

Actively not including people who became abusers, etc, kept some absolute era-defining songs ("Country Grammar" and "Ignition (Remix)", for example) off this list. But this is just an absolute batshit decade to try and do this for in regards to my personal growth as a music appreciator. I could probably do an HM list of 100 songs, easily.

 

10. Frightened Rabbit - The Modern Leper
9. Beyonce - Crazy In Love (ft. Jay Z)
8. Fionn Regan - Be Good or Be Gone
7. Say Anything - Alive With The Glory of Love
6. Oceansize - Ornament / The Last Wrongs
5. Nujabes - Blessing It (ft. Substantial & Pase Rock)
4. The Gaslight Anthem - The Backseat
3. Manchester Orchestra - Colly Strings
2. Biffy Clyro - All The Way Down (Prologue - Chapter 1)
1. LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

fuck this was so hard, missed loads of good ones. This feels nice though

 

01. My Chemical Romance - Hang ‘Em High
02. Yellowcard - Gifts & Curses
03. Linkin Park - Papercut
04. Tiesto - Adagio For Strings
05. Muse - Take A Bow
06. Nine Inch Nails - Head Down
07. Jimmy Eat World - Night Drive
08. Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place
09. My Chemical Romance - Mama
10. Radiohead - The National Anthem

 

Top handful is extremely easy for me but ranking 6-25 or so is roughly not doable

 

1. Dashboard Confessional - Dusk and Summer
2. Iron & Wine - Fever Dream
3. Jimmy Eat World - Kill
4. Butch Walker - Don't Move
5. LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends
6. Matt Nathanson - All We Are
7. U2 - Walk On
8. Jack's Mannequin - Crashin
9. The Dangerous Summer - Never Feel Alone
10. Yellowcard - Back Home

Trying not to overthink this. All songs that mean the world to me, for reasons I've probably written about on this very site!

May post an extended version of this list later.

@George The Ocean is a solid pick! Feel like I could have all 10 of my picks be Tegan & Sara songs and wouldn’t entirely regret it

 

This is hard

1. Fountains of Wayne - Mexican Wine
2. Jimmy Eat World - A Praise Chorus
3. Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia
4. The Killers - Mr. Brightside
5. System of a Down - BYOB
6. Less Than Jake - The Science of Selling Yourself Short
7. Bad Religion - Kyoto Now!
8. Sum 41 - We're All to Blame
9. Fall Out Boy - (Coffee's For Closers)
10. My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay

 

The run of three songs to close Sainthood, The Ocean, Sentimental Tune and Someday is as good as any three song run on any album.

Completely adore that record and the two before it.

 

I think the final 3 run on The Con is better, and one of those 3 will be on my list.

 

i’m counting this

 

Like O, Like H never really worked for me that much, but the final two are absolutely perfect songs.
