Meh, I like it. Minus Fuel that is.

You can probably add "New Slang" by this point. Maybe "Ms. Jackson," "Hate To Say I Told You So," and "Wonderwall" (or "Champagne Supernova").

booo. shimmer's one of my favorite songs ever.

I can agree with champagne supernova, dunno about the others. I'm hesitant to accept ms. jackson because of hey ya, and the others seem a bit too obscure.

backstreet boys?

Barenaked Ladies - Pinch Me

Will Smith - Gettin' Jiggy With it
Jack Johnson - Flake

Modest Mouse - The Ocean Breathes Salty
Morrissey - Boy Racer
Radiohead - Karma Police
Britney Spears - Toxic

I don't know if you can call this obscure. This got some serious, serious airplay everywhere.

On that note, let me add that fine old tune by Juvenile...

Nothing by Modest Mouse makes the list.

Weezer - Buddy Holly
Avril Lavigne - I don't know what song, but one of them has to be up there
I'd probably put a mellow 311 song like Amber up there too.
