al ship's top 50 rock singles of the 00s -- which is your favorite?

also "fat lip"

I love MCR but for some reason I dunno if any of their songs individually can stand up to the rest of the list...maybe if the black parade were on here

fat lip not as good as I remembered it being :/

I'm shocked by how many of these I don't hate, or even enjoy, considering that almost all of these were radio hits.

"Go With The Flow" is better than most of these.

This guy clearly listens to a lot of rock music.

just listened to the chemical romance song for the first time. if that's the best thing the 00s could cough out, we're talking a pretty dire decade in music.

they're called MY chemical romance, charlie

A++ trolling

eh idk about A++

did you see captain lorax in the poli thread today?

yeah that was something

idk about A++ either, tbh

'when you were young' is probably my favorite song here i guess

that's a really good song -- probably not my favorite Killers single though

37. Alien Ant Farm - "Smooth Criminal" (2001)
36. Korn - "Word Up!" (2004)
35. Disturbed - "Land Of Confusion" (2006)
34. The Ataris - "Boys Of Summer" (2003)

Was this intentional? And P.S. No Doubt's "It's My Life" is better than all of these.

haha

xp yeah a lot of the choices on here are like my 3rd or 4th favorite eligible single by the band

i see u are catching on to the ways of shipley

fine, MY chemical romance. i was actually prepared to be pleasantly surprised by the song. didn't happen, but it's never in my nature to celebrate a dislike for anything i hear. i'd rather have listened to it and enjoyed it.

is it also not in your nature to poo poo an entire decade based on one song

or one human's opinion

charlie h is becoming based by osmosis

"is it also not in your nature to poo poo an entire decade based on one song"

"or one human's opinions"

to suggest those things would be to misinterpret what i wrote. i'm not commenting on the decade. i'm commenting on the writer's placement of my chemical romance at no. 1, which i disagree with. what i personally think about the decade doesn't even come into play here.

jordan, i don't even know what you mean about the osmosis thing. care to elaborate?

no not really

if that's the best thing the 00s could cough out, we're talking a pretty dire decade in music.

uhm

The best rock of the 00's starts here:

so, basically i'm saying that if my chemical romance are responsible for the best rock song of the 00s (which they aren't in my opinion, because i think they're fucking terrible), then the decade must have been pretty bad for music (which it isn't in my opinion, because i think my chemical romance are fucking terrible).

anyway, this conversation is going nowhere.

then I listen to My Chemical Romance
swag
then I post to ILX
swag
eat that challop soup
swag
this is how I do

so what rock songs commercially released as singles do you rate, charlie h

now you're making a reasonable point and i can see what you're coming from. i guess... i guess i would never be making a list like this.

where you're coming from

so then gtfo

how old are you?

listened to all of these on youtube tonight. going with "Mr. Brightside" over "Drops of Jupiter", "Sweetness", "Hard To Explain", "Perfect Situation", "When You Were Young", "Maps"

anyway, i mentioned already that i like the strokes and the yeah yeah yeahs. that's enough to sustain my interest in the result of this poll.

sorry dude but you can't expect to Kramer in here on a false premise and make ~sweeping proclamations about the state of music~ and then get butthurt over people calling you out

i think you are being pedantic. and if your agenda is to "call people out" then i think we have our wires crossed, because mine is to simply comment on music and not make ~inaccurate assumptions about what other people write~. it's also presumptuous to assume i'm "butthurt". but if it gives you a perverse thrill to think you've got a one-up, i'm happy to let you continue thinking that way.

i think the lesson here is that it never turns out well to come in a positive thread and be like "all the music being discussed in here is fucking awful"

lesson learned

point taken.

idk this guy sounds pretty butthurt 2 me

but let butthurts be butthurts, it's all butts under the bridge 2 me

did you see captain lorax in the poli thread today?

ysi?

from here on down

US POLITICS: "I figured clueless was better than argumentative."

I have long reconciled myself to the fact that Mr Brightside is a good song even without the JLC involvement but I'm voting for Maps.

Thread needs QOTSA involvement really but I dislike 2/3rds of these.

actively dislike almost all of the list. doesn't seem very some dude-y.

i know 'this is all shit' etc but rly, this is almost all shit

charlie h otm

that wd be true if it was about yr usual niche interest ilx stuff but this is virtually public domain, the stuff that you've probably heard even if you didn't want to

even the few ppl who have done anything good (soad, the strokes, nerd, white stripes) don't actually have their best songs, w/e

This isn't really my thread (at all) but I still voted :D

i wish i wasn't offline all weekend, this thread has been entertaining!

i may finish and post 51-100 of the list here

dooo ittt

i will never understand why people like 'helena' more than 'i'm not ok' :(
