    Poly's favorite 100 songs of the past 25 years

    We shall make a better list than the VH1 one, which sucked big time. This was oedo's idea.

    List 20 songs. We should probably limit them to rock since only rock songs will win anyway, knowing Poly's demographics. However, we can keep a pretty loose definition of "rock." Each time a song is listed, it gets a point. You can list a song up to 5 times in one list if you really want it to win. So, for example:
    [list=1][*]Avril Lavigne - Complicated[*]Avril Lavigne - Complicated[*]Avril Lavigne - Complicated[*]Avril Lavigne - Complicated[*]Avril Lavigne - Complicated[*]Avril Lavigne - I'm With You[*]Avril Lavigne - I'm With You[*]Avril Lavigne - I'm With You[*]Avril Lavigne - I'm With You[*]Avril Lavigne - I'm With You[*]Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip[*]Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip[*]Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip[*]Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip[*]Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip[*]Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi[*]Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi[*]Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi[*]Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi[*]Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi[/list=1]

    is technically acceptable, even though the rest of poly would ostracize you for the rest of your time posting here. Please vote in the format "Artist - Song"

    Here are my votes:
    1. U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
    2. U2 - Where the Streets Have no Name
    3. U2 - With or Without You
    4. U2 - One
    5. Blink 182 - What's My Age Again
    6. Greenday - Good Riddance
    7. Matchbox Twenty/Tabitha's Secret - 3 am
    8. Matchbox Twenty/Tabitha's Secret - 3 am
    9. 3 Doors Down - Kryptonite
    10. Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
    11. Lifehouse - Hanging by a Moment
    12. Metallica - Fade to Black
    13. Metallica - Enter Sandman
    14. Metallica - Enter Sandman
    15. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit.
    16-20. Fuel - Hemorrhage (In My Hands)


    So leaderboard:

    Fuel - Hemorrhage (5)
    Metallica - Enter Sandman (2)
    Matchbox Twenty/Tabitha's Secret - 3 am (2)
    Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
    Metallica - Fade to Black
    Lifehouse - Hanging by a Moment
    Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
    3 Doors Down - Kryptonite
    Greenday - Good Riddance
    Blink 182 - What's My Age Again
    U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
    U2 - Where the Streets Have no Name
    U2 - With or Without You
    U2 - One



    Yes, I have way too much time on my hands.

      Jag,

      I like this, but you should narrow it down to ten unless you're not planning on doing anything else this weekend.

                              Yes, I do. I added three last night actually.

                              You get the little mac one by going to Civgroups and joining it. I have the mac one because I'd play Civ and post on Poly on some iMacs in my publications room. I actually hate macs though.
