Modern Rock #1 Hits of 2000

yeah, 2000, would've been prob

yeah

you don't remember, but I do

u never even tried

Will I get shouted at for saying Otherside is a pretty good song?

its definitely the best of the 3 #1s from that record

Another poll I can't even vote in. Don't even like the Blink song, though it's by far the least offensive thing here.

From the non-offensive album, Enema of the State.

man I love those first two APC albums so much

RE: Fuel

Yeah, it looks like Scallions managed to wrest control from Bell and Abercrombie. But a lineup change with no intersecting member is still pretty special.

Modern rock hits that didn't it #1 that year:

Adam's Song Blink 182
With Arms Wide Open Creed
Ex-Girlfriend No Doubt
Man Overboard Blink 182
Original Prankster Offspring
Loser 3 Doors Down
Right Now SR71
Change Deftones
Pardon Me Incubus
Miserable LIT
Take A Picture Filter
Sour Girl Stone Temple Pilots
Wonderful EverClear
Never Let You Go 3rd Eye Blind
Rollin' Limp Bizkit
Judith Perfect Circle
Beautiful Day U2
Everything You Want Vertical Horizon
Bad Touch Bloodhound Gang

Based on these polls, I have requested a copy of Enema of the State at my local library. I'm pretty worried about having to go pick it up.

Loser 3 Doors Down

forces of evil in a bozo nightmare

"with arms wide open" is not one of my favorite creed songs

Everything You Want Vertical Horizon

an actual Hot 100 #1 hit

just youtubed this "otherside" rhcp song. wow. not even a spark of memory. how did something this boring become a hit?

i wanna edit the verizon wikipedia page and say that the company was named after vertical horizon

otherwise is pretty singalongable

i seem to remember the album art for Human Clay had longitude and latitude numbers hidden in it and my friend and i were trying to decipher some secret hidden meaning of the record based on it

it leads to a geocache filled w/ unreleased creed jams

Take A Picture Filter

hate

But a lineup change with no intersecting member is still pretty special.

Can't be bothered to read the wiki, but the scenario I'm imagining is an armed hijacking of the van mid-tour somewhere

Change Deftones

"minority" pretty forgettable

"last resort" sounds like a Lonely Island song

post otm, it's the song on this list a care the least about

xpost, rather

How about Modern Rock songs from this era that hit #1 on the Hot 100 but not on this chart?

- Vertical Horizon, "Everything You Want" (#5 on Modern Rock)
- Matchbox Twenty, "Bent" (#16 on Modern Rock)
- Creed, "With Arms Wide Open" (#2 on Modern Rock)

and even rap songs!

- Eminem, "Lose Yourself" (#14 on Modern Rock)
- Outkast, "Hey Ya!" (#16 on Modern Rock)

cut my life in2 pieces!!

i can't help you fix yourself, but at least i can say i tried!

Modern rock hits that didn't it #1 that year: Sour Girl Stone Temple Pilots

That was my #1 for 2000. I don't think I've ever come across anyone who thinks it's as great as I do.

I bought that album because of that song, which put me off STP for good, basically.

It was my first capitulation to STP. Like "hey, maybe these guys really aren't that bad."

big empty was on my first mixtape next to miss world and what else i don't know although there's a strong chance "mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm" was involved

almost had a nervous breakdown once in the bathroom of an Outback Steakhouse while "Sour Girl" was playing on the PA.

sounds like the beginning of a Zoetrope short story

"Sour Girl" always sounded ELO-ish to me (the harmonies).

I admire "Beautiful Day" for somehow succeeding as a song despite there being almost nothing to it, as far as I can tell -- there's just this four-note sequence, it's a great four-note sequence, they play it, it sounds good when they play it, etc. Would have voted for it easy against the other contenders in this poll.

this list is so, so garbage

i'm voting for kryptonite

you bastard

oh wait i actually looked at the list, wow i'm not even sure i can bear carrying on into later years

i lived off of fuel's shimmer for a while but could not get into .... "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)"

This is an easy one for me - I voted for the Blink song last time and thus it has to be Fuel, despite the guy's haircut. It's like the last gasp of 1996 to me, though certainly much brighter and more punchily produced than most of the stuff from back then.

The rest is pretty sad. "Kryptonite" is catchy enough, but the lyric is pretty forced - and both this and their "Loser" were soured by hearing Serious Dudes practicing them on their acoustic guitars in dorm stairwells, at great length. "Otherside" is a snooze, "Californication" only comes to life for the "first-born unicorn" part (the video is some awful LOLs, not quite as jaw-dropping as the similarly-themed Creed one). "Last Resort" is almost unlistenable, and "Minority" is a sad empty shell of a band going through the motions. (I quite like "Warning" though!)

From the "big hits, not #1" category -

Adam's Song Blink 182 - "Remember the time that I spilled the cup / of apple juice / In the hall?"
With Arms Wide Open Creed - never again, please, never again
Ex-Girlfriend No Doubt - never got into these Return of Saturn singles, I know other people love them though.
Man Overboard Blink 182 - I like this one! Good use of their overlapping vocals, probably their only good "arena" type song.
Original Prankster Offspring - Possibly the biggest waste of time of any song on any of these lists, as i've argued enthusiastically here: WORST Single By Green Day or the Offspring
Right Now SR71 - Pretty good! I wish crappy 3rd-gen pop-punk had beat out nu-metal for dominance, these guys are all pretty annoying but you can at least tap your feet to the tunes. I get this mixed up with the first Sum-41 single "Makes No Difference," which is much better than this
Change Deftones - don't remember this
Pardon Me Incubus - really dopey, though maybe useful in freshman year as a filter for people who would claim to like "alternative" music (an increasingly poisoned term for me by this point), but if they liked this it was all over.
Miserable LIT - I think I liked this at the time but it's way too sluggish, especially put beside "own worst enemy" and "zip-loc"
Take A Picture Filter - I stan for this one - - once again, too long but it kinda hit me at that time, maybe cause I'd had my first romantic experience, on a vacation, unsure if I'd see the person again so the whole idea of a picture holding a memory together, while obviously not an original theme in pop music, came at the right place at the right time. I also love how the Oedipal rage of "Jurassitol" manages to sneak into this seemingly gentle, contemplative soft rock song. HEEYYYYYYYYYYYY DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR SON NOOOOWWWWW
Sour Girl Stone Temple Pilots - really did not like this, still threw it on an STP mix CD I made a few years ago just for the hell of it. It's pretty solidly done I guess. I preferred "No Way Out," the "hard" single off this, which bombed horribly IIRC.
Wonderful EverClear - really bad, I felt the drop-off between So Much For The Afterglow and this album the way most people felt the drop-off after Sparkle & Fade
Never Let You Go 3rd Eye Blind - I should listen to this again, I know ILX really likes it, at the time it struck me as way simpler and less involving than all their previous hits.
Rollin' Limp Bizkit - not their finest hour but I will not change the channel on this, i admit.
Judith Perfect Circle - I can't remember how this goes but i KNOW i hated it
Beautiful Day U2 - guilty pleasure once in a while, i think eephus sums it up well. At the time I was just hoping one of the airplanes in the video would run over the band.
Everything You Want Vertical Horizon - not offensive in any specific way but utterly not defensible, basically sums up the sound of an entire era of shitty rock radio piped through the college dining hall speakers, it's like the soundtrack of chicken tenders that have been sitting out too long. "You're A God" sucked too, though it seems to have been mercifully forgotten
Bad Touch Bloodhound Gang - great, would have possibly voted for this if it made #1
Matchbox Twenty, "Bent" - i liked this more than i was willing to let on at the time. As has been noted, this band seems to have been cut adrift by rock radio, and their "rockier" singles never really had much traction on pop radio, so it feels like a lot of their songs which I used to hear constantly have basically vanished - I mean "Push" has (mercifully) dropped off the planet, and "Real World" and "Long Day" (which were much better!) with it...

oh man "Judith" was the shit, fuiud

xpost to self wow, sorry, those lists are unreadable for starters and then once i run past one line per song it's just a mess

listening to judith now, wow this is absolutely not what i remember this sounding like - - - I mean, this just sounds like a Tool song and in my mind APC were this ballad-y crap side project.

oh YEAH this is the spear of longinus one! I liked this! I think I never knew this WAS A Perfect Circle!

I think I was thinking of "3 Libras."

Looking at the lists on here, I feel like in 2000 I somehow zoned out, was possibly in a coma for the year?

hahaha okay Dr Casino, you should really listen to "The Hollow", "Weak and Powerless", "Blue", "Pet" and "The Outsider" before calling all of APC crappy balladry
