but yet you hate the Rolling Stones? There's no songs of theirs that you like at all?

Well, here's the thing. Some of their music I don't mind. But the fact that they're so popular, and yet their best music is mediocre really bugs me. I probably woudn't hate them if they weren't so popular, but they are, so I do.

This sums up my hatred of U2 perfectly.

Man I hate you for telling me to do this. My first cut left me with about 100, then I got down to 60, then 45, then right about 32 left is when it got really hard. All in all I definitely spent about an hour coming up with this list.

Here's the top 25 in Alphabetical Order:

2. AFI – This Celluloid Dream
3. Avril Lavigne – I’m With You
4. Blues Traveler – Hook
5. Bush – Glycerin

18. Semisonic – Singing in My Sleep
19. Smashing Pumpkins – Disarm
20. Sublime – Same in the End
21. Trapt – Made of Glass
22. Trik Turner - Sacrifice
23. U2 – Sunday Bloody Sunday
24. Warren Zevon – Werewolves of London
25. The Who – Baba O’Riley

These are the ones that just missed in rank order:

28. Journey – Wheel in the Sky
29. Third Eye Blind - Jumper
30. Guster – Amsterdam

My list clearly wins.
