Top 40 +1

[eggwards]

2002 was good for music, despite some falling record sales. I stole the idea of making a list from invisiblebear, who produced his own about a week ago. I won't comment on each song, but I did add a note or two.

Yes, most of them are in the pop-rock genre, but there's a couple of country and rap songs too. I'm trying to see if I can make a Quick-Time stream (sort of like chicagowoof's streaming songs), but don't hold your breath!

Also, I limited it to one song per artist. I could fill this list with Coldplay songs.



1. When I'm Gone -3 Doors Down
2. Amber -311
311 drops a nice vibe – good beach tune.
3. The Remedy -Abandoned Pools
4. Hands Clean -Alanis Morissette
Again, Alanis turns a nasty situation into a good song.
5. Complicated -Avril Lavigne
Attitude? Maybe. Really long chorus? Yes!
6. 00:15:00 -Chomsky
It only takes 15 minutes to rock. Dallas Band.
7. In My Place -Coldplay
Deep rich sound from a fantastic band. Sounds like bells.
8. Caught in the Sun -Course Of Nature
9. Where Are You Going -Dave Matthews Band
10. Wasting My Time -Default
11. Landslide -Dixie Chicks
12. Without Me -Eminem
Yeah, I know, but the grove works.
13. All My Life -Foo Fighters
14. Hate to Say I Told You So -The Hives
The best of the “New Punk” songs.
15. I Wish You Were Here -Incubus
16. Standing Still -Jewel
17. The Middle -Jimmy Eat World
18. No Such Thing -John Mayer
My favorite artist of 2002. Kept listening to the album forever.
19. Can't Get You Out of My Head -Kylie Minouge
The one and only dance song.
20. Disease -Matchbox Twenty
21. Hot In Herre -Nelly
Not much for rap, but this song just moves!
22. Underneath It All -No Doubt
23. Don’t Know Why -Nora Jones
24. Somewhere Out There -Our Lady Peace
This was the #1 song when I traveled to Canada for Pride.
I know you’re out there…Somewhere out there.”
25. For Nancy -Pete Yorn
26. Lonely Day -Phantom Planet
27. Blurry -Puddle of Mudd
28. These Days -Rascal Flatts
29. Save Me -Remy Zero
30. The Game of Love -Santana ft. Michelle Branch

Funniest song on the list.
33. Save It for Later -Splender
34. Good Souls -Starsailor
35. Hard To Explain -The Strokes
