I don't mind a good House tune every now and then but I think you have to be in the right mood for it. There is a good chance that while I was ranking this song... I wasn't in the mood. It's got some good reverb going but this is another example of a chorus that disrupts a good rhythm imo. I did trail off and listen to a few of Moloko's other songs since I hadn't heard them before and I gotta say, you chose one of the better ones. There does seem to be a good amount of support for the band though so... what do I know.lol

So here is a statement that will damage my credibility with some of you. I don't really care for much of Michael Jackson's music. Never have. Don't know why. Probably never will. I'd be surprised if I actually included more than 3 of his songs in this entire contest. Now, I can certainly recognize his ability to make some serious beats but I often find myself only satisfied with parts of his work. Liking half or parts of a song isn't usually enough to get excited about imo. This song, for example, starts out well and then we get about 1:00 minute in to Jackson's over vocalized and awkward sounding chorus. Oddly enough, I didn't find a whole lot of other folks praising this song either in my research.

Meh... not really into a lot of the pop songs from this decade tbh. Other people seem to like them though so that's why some of them made it onto this list. Truth be told only 100 or so songs from the 10's selected for this list are even tunes that I prefer. I had so much trouble finding stuff I liked in this decade that I resorted to listing many Top 40 contenders despite the fact that I'd probably rank them low. I also didn't have very much overflow of songs as you can imagine so it became slightly frustrating when I had to come up with replacement songs. This is the first and possibly the only song I have classified as "Soul Pop" in this ranking.

This song was one of the last songs I chose for the 2010's after I had to DQ a couple songs in the final phase of ranking for that list. In hindsight there were definitely some better songs out there but I was pulled in by the video which is pretty cool on it's own. Obviously I didn't allow for a song to gain points based on the video but the beat is good and the song has received mostly positive reviews from what I could find. There are a couple of Stone Sour songs I really, really like that you'll see eventually.

Well I guess we have a clear Band leader for number of songs in the ranking. Too bad they are all in the bottom 100 so far. Believe it or not there is still more to come from this band though and from what I've ranked so far there are some significant improvements here. I like the beat and am more familiar with this song since it was one of the few Rush songs my older brother used to play all the time on his floor model stereo system when I was a youngin'. I can also see a bit more fan support stacking up for the Rush songs selected here and going forward.

I totally thought this came out in the 80's when I added it to the list. Something about this song bugs me even though it was dubbed one of the top 500 greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. It even made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the 500 songs that shaped rock n' roll. But... I'm not feeling it still. There are way better Springsteen songs imo.

Never heard anything from this band before this ranking. Gotta be honest I wasn't immediately drawn into this song at all though but after a few listens it settles in as something I might listen to once in awhile on the radio. These girls seem to have a growing popularity but they are also fairly new to the music scene so I can see them having some better hits as time goes on. One critic on the internet claims that the band has a mild influence from bands like The Eagles, Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac but I didn't really hear any of that in this song tbh.

It is true that if I had included the 60's, The Rolling Stones would have taken the win with "Paint It Black". One would think that I had a strong affinity for the band in that case but that actually isn't quite true. I enjoy a few of their songs like most I'm sure but they have a lot of mediocre stuff so you have to pick through for the great songs. With this being the first Rolling Stone song to drop from this ranking you can kind of get an idea of where I start to tune into their stuff. Something neat about this song is that Keith Richards has stated it was inspired by his baby daughter Dandelion Angela but the song came out before he even chose a name for her and before he even knew that he was having a girl. I wonder how that works exactly.

...and you're too vain! Oh, wrong song lol. It's kind of funny how many people think this is an incorrectly titled "You give love a bad name" when both songs are on the same album. This is far from my favorite Bon Jovi tune though. I don't mind it but there isn't anything lasting for me here when I'm holding the bar on this band at "It's my life" at the very least. This song's counterpart is leagues beyond this song imo.

I actually found this song to be relaxing in more of a trance kind of way. I'm amazed that I've never heard this before now though. I've listened to some other Cure stuff before but this is an album that I might actually dig into further. The vocals didn't score too high since the only vocals I hear sound more like they were intended to be background vocals but the beat is decent here and I can get a pretty good feeling what the song is trying to convey emotionally. Not a bad tune for sure.

I feel like I should know what game this is from... Ogre Battle? Not sure I've ever played it but some of this song sounds familiar. I think this might actually be our only "Score" entry to the ranking btw. I might be wrong but I can't recall any other songs falling into the genre during my collecting of information over the last year. With nothing lyrical to measure, this and every other Instrumental unfortunately takes a ding to the overall score so that's a bummer. Since I prefer songs I can sing to at the top of my list I guess it doesn't matter too much in the end anyway.

A simple beat for the intro and I was digging the lyrics until it went all loud. I forgot for a second that this was Ska. It's a fun song though but unlikely that I'll listen to this more than I need to. There is some Ska I like but most songs that are "deliberately" chaotic tend to lose my favor. I need a good consistant rhythm and melody in order to get lost in a tune so this unfortunately cuts down most Ska. Ska Punk is a genre I didn't realize was a thing until this ranking although I should have known since I listen to a couple other varieties of Punk. (Pop Punk is my favorite)

Damn... it isn't coming to me atm but this band/song sounds so much like something else I've heard before. The first Power Metal track to get the axe on the list though. The beat, vocals, message and popularity score are all about average imo. I almost feel like this song should have been more epic but was disappointed in that regard after listening to it a few times. Actually... now that I think about it, maybe I heard one of the band's songs on Guitar Hero? (looking it up real quick) ...um yeah, not finding anything but I could have sworn that was where I saw/heard something from the band. It's possible it was DLC but I don't have time to look up a list of those songs atm.

I like the intro to this song but the rest is a mix up really. I feel like I've also heard this song in a Farrelly brothers movie but can't recall which one.. maybe Me, Myself & Irene? Anyway, the first time I ever had a turntable around '87 or '88, I was given a crate of vinyl from a relative and there was a Utopia record in it. I don't think it was the album in this ranking but that was the first time I was exposed to Utopia. This song has an early 80's vibe so maybe the band was ahead of their time when this album was released.

So... I kinda wished I had bumped this a bit more just for the video. It's so much better with the puppet show but... I didn't include a score for the videos. Anyway let's be honest, this just feels like it isn't a real song and was actually made for the puppets. I do like some of the rhyming but I feel like it was kind of rushed. The chorus is silly and I don't think the song can make any sense without the video. I might not change the radio station if this popped up but you can bet I won't be heading out to buy any MCFrontalot cd's any time soon.

It's a tune with a somewhat recognizable guitar riff for anyone that has even heard this a couple times. The rest of the song is kind of mild and standard classic rock n' roll imo.

Another of my picks to pad the bottom of the list that may surprise some of you reading. I never was a very big Kiss fan. My older brother had a Kiss poster on the back of his bedroom door that he used to make a fuss about but I never got it. I didn't understand the appeal of a bunch of Hard Rock dudes going full on face painting in flashy uniforms. My brother seemed to get it though and this song was one of his favorites. I'll give it credit for having a lot of variety that almost blends seamlessly but it just doesn't resonate with me otherwise. And this is just the bottom of my 70's list.

Normally I don't mind System Of A Down but this song gives me anxiety for some reason. It's a bit more chaotic than most of their best songs but the vocals feel right.

Now this is getting somewhere. It's almost got a good Rage Against the Machine thing going but then 40 seconds in it starts skipping some beats and I get distracted by the yelling again. There are a couple of irregular scales played in the song that are cool and I love the lightning fast Bass Drum around 3:00 minutes in. Other than that there are lots of areas for improvement in the way of catching my attention. Eventually I'm bound to like one of your songs if they keep improving though Bane, I'm sure of it.

I had only heard this song a couple times over the years but I'm not sure I had ever actually listened to the whole thing. I like the drum beat right off the bat though. It isn't overly complicated or even that memorable but it goes well with the guitar riff used through most of the song. Something I always have an issue with is that I can never get fully used to Ozzy's high pitched singing as it doesn't always mesh well with the music Black Sabbath created imo. Of course the dude is pretty much an iconic figure at this point so I don't think many folks feel the same as me but it is what it is.

Raka, your nominations continue to suprise me since I never really knew what kind of music you were in to before but it sure isn't what I could have expected since you are on the other side of the world.

Hmm.. welp, I must have been in a cranky mood when I ranked this one. It actually sounds like something that should be a bit higher. Unfortunately it didn't get a bump but the chorus is kinda catchy. I thought this was a One Direction song or something the first time I heard it after this ranking. Kinda surprised that I hadn't heard it before though but tbh I haven't deliberately listened to any station that frequently plays pop songs in the last few years. Pop seems to be a genre that tried to smother the world this decade and it stopped impressing me years ago.

Write-Up:
There was once a day when I was right into music like this, particularly around the time The Matrix came out. I got hooked on some Prodigy and Rob D after discovering the Matrix's soundtrack in a bargain bin for like $2 or $3 bucks. It was an interesting time for sure. The problem with this kind of music though is that it really appeals much better to a younger ear. The older I get, the more stuff like this sounds like noise. (Oh great it's finally happening! I'm getting oooooooooooooooooolllldd!!) =( ... anyway, I can always appreciate a good classic but this isn't the kind of music you really sing to. It's a decent arrangement and bodes extremely well in the game but you won't find me cruisin down the road with anything like this blaring on the radio.

I thought this was something that I had heard before because "Son of Dracula" just looks like something familiar but I guess I haven't because it isn't ringing a bell in it's entirety at all. I do think the vocals and beat are palatable though and this is something I probably wouldn't change the station on too quick if I were to hear it on the radio. I couldn't find very many reviews for it though which is weird for something that has been around since the 70's. I do think that the piano play in the background sort of sounds like another song... maybe from the Carpenters or something.

I actually like Kansas.. or now I realize I may just like their popular stuff but I was surprised going into this song that it ended up so low because I honestly thought I liked most of whatever I've heard from the band. This tune is kind of whimsical and full of a variety of instrumental riffs but... yeah, but. I am not entirely thrilled by the song. I love something I automatically start bouncing a knee to but I don't get that at all here. The song feels like it's more than several minutes longer than it actually is for some reason. Could that be my discontent for the song making it last longer? I'm not sure.

Hmm. Actually rather a fan of adult Hanson these days, but opinions and all that. And Carly Rae, but I can see how overexposure to their major hit can sour one on them. To each their own.

No intended slight towards your interests at all dude as I'm not here to bash anyone for what they like. It's just as I stated that my scoring was set up from a personal point of view and caters mostly to stuff that I listen to.

If it means anything, my wife thought I ranked that song too low.

Man my nominations have been getting destroyed

It won't just be yours dude. I think a good 200 out of the 300 nominations fall before the Top 1,000.

It unfortunately comes down to the "familiarity score set". In hindsight had I known that I was going to include nominations, I would not have made the scoring system so personal but it wasn't until I had already scored around 800 songs that I decided to include nominations. Therefore nominations were bound to drop like flies.

I didn't want to make a tasteless comparison with a D-day joke about storming the beaches of Normandy... but I guess I just did.

Not a bad rock song overall but it suffers in a few areas. For one it isn't all that memorable. Really kind of standard for any mediocre 70's song imo. I've never heard of Captain Beyond before but this song could have been from numerous other bands of that time since it kind of follows a rock formula that has been used by many bands of that era. I couldn't find much praise for the band though so maybe they were unable to gain popularity the way I'm sure they probably hoped.

Right off the bat I feel like this has influence from Smashing Pumpkins which is interesting since you nominated one of their songs too Paul. Interestingly enough, I have heard of this band but this is the first song that I know I've heard of theirs. It seems like it is intentionally comical? Is that right? I dunno, it sounds kind of serious also but I wasn't sure since it is one of your nominations after all dude. :P (Sorry for the short write-up but it's the curse of the bottom 300 since they don't start to gain much length until around there.)

Mmmm..what? These guys are still making music? I had no idea. I'm guessing they just aren't popular enough to make it on the radio anymore since I had no idea they were making music past the 90's. The song is a little jazzy but it's not very catchy imo. Watching the video adds a ton of corniness to this tune imo and that triple high five in the end there is tragically classic to why I now think Adult hanson sucks.lol

Not the kind of Pop I'm used to. I have to admit though that I really haven't heard a lot of Tears for Fears songs so this easily falls as one of the worst I've heard. It's a lot slower than I was expecting for a pop song tbh. It kind of sounds like a song that should be lower than some of the tunes we've heard so far but it fares ok with the beat, vocals and message. I like when it seems to take off about 4:30 minutes in but it isn't enough to raise the song any higher since the song is nearly over at that point.

Not to be confused with Bad Reputation by Joan Jett. This song appeared in the Guitar Hero series but I don't remember which one atm. I just remember playing it a few times. It's somewhat recognizable imo but the song really doesn't go anywhere with it's overall melody. The lyrics are not quite fitting for the beats and the singer is obviously not a skilled vocalist. I've heard this tune more than a few times at various bars I've been to over the years though.

This song sounds like an identity crisis. That hardcore came out of nowhere and I wasn't expecting it at all after the intro. The song isn't exactly terrible but it's not exactly great either imo. I'm not so sure about the back and forth from the ska punk to the hardcore though. It seems that the song should be one or the other if it were to be improved imo. Never heard this band before now though.

This song is waaaaay too quiet imo. I had to get some headphones just to hear it clearly and it only amplified how much I think this song sucks. I've never listened to any other Industrial Rock song and couldn't hear it before without headphones. NIN has some great tunes out there so I do not intend to slight the band here but this is kinda dull imo. It climbed the ladder a bit higher than I would have place it on my own since it has generally positive reviews for it though.

...But did you really have to fill my vacant 00's slot with fucking Pitbull?

It was randomly selected from a leftover pool of songs I had compiled over the last year.

Sorry dude.

The Surf's Up song actually was released on a Beach Boys album in 1971. The album is called "Surf's Up". Therefore the 2004 version was DQ'd since there was a version that qualified for the ranking.

I feel like if you mixed Bruce Springsteen and Meat Loaf you'd wind up with something similar to this. At first I wasn't sure but now I definitely feel like if I were to rank these songs again that this would move up a bit which is good. It's fate is sealed right here this time around though unfortunately for a reason I might reveal later. I do like the piano track and enjoyed the climax of the song and I f'eel like there is a decent message here too. There wasn't much I could track down in the way of customer reviews which hurt the Top 100 score a bit.
