For me too. Or Chop Suey.
I can't believe there are 2 MCR songs on here but not The Black Parade which is a song of epic proportions in my opinion.
Also, Train?! ;_;

repping for Train hits and thinking MCR fell off w/ Black Parade are 2 stock opinions I've argued many times in other threads, so I won't go into them too much again here

I forgot why that would be obvious and uh, have not read all your postings on rock, so maybe I am also missing a joke--like you hate that MCR song more than anything, and have repeatedly said that?

the Train song probably would be more at home next to Vanessa Carlton and shit on the pop list I'm working on, but it was a charting rock hit so this is the list it slotted into

personally i would've picked "dirty little secret"
also have no idea what, like, 3 blink songs i could even pick
there would've been like 10 of my 50
― "bubbling" pictures for mormon approved j0hn (J0rdan S.), Friday, 3 September 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Train prolly didn't need to be top 10 but it was always going to be in my top 20
haha i seriously like or love every song in that top ten except for that train song.
vote will probably be "mr. brightside" or "i'm not okay" though.
― strongohulkingtonsghost, Friday, 3 September 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link
"Dirty Little Secret," incredibly, only appeared on pop charts and no rock charts, and so was ineligible (although I would've instead picked "Move On," which was ineligible for the same reason)

my vote though a bit of a (nyc) cop out ;)
― bnw, Friday, 3 September 2010 20:36 (thirteen years ago) link
I went w/ a weird Blink pick because for me their best singles are "Dammit" and "What's My Age Again," which are both from the '90s, not as big on "All The Small Things" or "I Miss You" but I love that whole self-titled album and the less popular singles from it
― some dude, Friday, 3 September 2010 20:36 (thirteen years ago) link
man, i'm probably the biggest strokes stan on this board & "hard to explain" is one of my least favorite songs of theirs
when i saw julian solo a few months ago that was the only strokes song he played
― "bubbling" pictures for mormon approved j0hn (J0rdan S.), Friday, 3 September 2010 20:37 (thirteen years ago) link
i've always been partial to "down"
That Train song is their only hit that i've ever liked ever, but I really have no desire to hear it again
"Always" is crazy underrated and deserves the love it gets here
― da croupier, Friday, 3 September 2010 20:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh wait - I didn't see The Strokes one. I'll add that to my shortlist too.
Dammit is my fav Blink song but yes, 90s.
Aw man - I feel bad for starting the Train hate now. I didn't realize that was something Al's had to defend many times before. Sorry dude! That said, I now have "Drops of Jupiter" in my head and it's driving me crazy and it's YOUR FAULT. grrrr.
― o sh!t a ˁ˚ᴥ˚ˀ (ENBB), Friday, 3 September 2010 20:38 (thirteen years ago) link
"12:51" would've been my strokes song
that one ages more and more now that they've put out material after 'room on fire' and it's become incredibly relevant that they should've gone the fun, frothy, cars route instead of the leather jackets & metal studs black-and-red motif that they chose
