Top 10

3. Green Day - "Good Riddance (The Time of your Life)"

4. Lordi - "Hard Rock Hallelujah"

5. Bryan Adams - "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)"

The bottom 5 are more about the overrated than the bad, for me. Most of the bad songs on the list I assume won't come near making it.

[DFF]

My ten favourites...

#1 = 12 points ~~~ "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen (I sear this has only not got more votes cos some people don't wanna be seen voting for the song that stereotypically comes in people's top 3 )

#2 = 10 points ~~~ "Bat Out of Hell" by Meat Loaf (I assume this is the full version, which rocks. In fact I'm going to put this on now...)

#3 = 8 points ~~~ "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses (Beautifully crafted song)

#4 = 7 points ~~~ "Hallowed Be Thy Name" by Iron Maiden (A very good Maiden song that is excellent when heard live)

#5 = 6 points ~~~ "Everything I Do ( I Do It For You) by Bryan Adams (Cheesy? Yes. But since when is that a bad thing? A good love song).

#6 = 5 points ~~~ "Clocks" by Coldplay (Just really like this song.)

#7 = 4 points ~~~ "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses (Slightly over rated/played, but still a favourite)

#8 = 3 points ~~~ "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin (See above)

#9 = 2 points ~~~ "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple (Simple, yet addictive, riff. And I had to get some DP in here somewhere!)

#10 = 1 point ~~~ "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi (It's cheesy as fuck, but is a brilliant karaoke tune...)

My five songs of hatred (or general dislike)...

#1 = negative 3 points ~~~ "Cassandra Gemini" by Mars Volta (It's been described as groundbreaking, and brilliant. I call it shit. There's better experimental/proggy/outright weird stuff out there)

#2 = negative 2 points ~~~ "Changes" by 2Pac (yawn.... )

#3 = negative 1 point ~~~ "Thugs Mansion" by 2Pac (see above ^^^)

#4 = negative 1 point ~~~ "Hey Jude" by The Beatles (don't dislike it - it just shouldn't win)

#5 = negative 1 point ~~~ "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley (most ever rated artist ever? Maybe...)

4. Creed "My Sacrifice"

5. Bryan Adams "Everything I Do" (What the fuck?! Only #5 because I don't see it getting many votes)

It was harder to narrow down negatives than positives, but I think the list came out solid.

[IAceI]

12 Points - InMe - "Safe in a Room". It's not my favourite InMe song to be honest, but it is still great.

10 Points - Coheed & Cambria - "Faint of Hearts". My favourite Coheed and Cambria

8 Points - System of a Down - "Shimmy". Not their best in my eyes but it's still a great track.

7 Points - Gorillaz - "Clint Eastwood". I wouldn't considering this one of my Top 20 favourite songs to be honest but I struggled to find songs I liked on the list. It's still a great Gorillaz track, one of the best from their first album which is the only one I've heard.

6 Points - Killswitch Engage - "My Last Serenade". Was a great song from years back.

5 Points - Green Day - "Basket Case". The list of Green Day songs leaves a lot to be desired to be honest, this narrowly beat out Good Riddance though, there both great songs.

4 Points - Coheed & Cambria - "Cuts Marked In The Match of Men". All Co&Ca songs are great, and there are others I'd put way ahead of this, but it shows how good they are when it can still get this high.

3 Points - 2Pac - "Changes". I'm not much of a rap fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like this song.

2 Points - Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Californication". The song that really got me into the Chili Peppers, and a great video to boot.

1 Point - Strung Out - "Savant". Sexy.

---

Negative 3 Points - "Clocks" - Coldplay. DIE. DIE. DIE. You're all shit.

Negative 2 Points - "YYZ" - Rush. Geddy Lee or whoever can grow some balls and sound like a man.

Negative 1 Point - "Sweet Child O' Mine" - Guns N Roses. Don't like them at all.

Negative 1 Point - "November Rain" - Guns N Roses. It's wank and goes on for way too long. All that time of a wank song.

Negative 1 Point - "Wake Me Up When September Ends" - Green Day. Of all the possible songs that Green Day have and this shit is here? Seriously!? There's loads of better songs by Green Day than this overrated suckfest.

I'm done ¬_¬

EDIT: Made a mistake with negative scoring - corrected now.

I find your voting of Coheed so high and your trashing of Rush ironic.

You've got two days to get your votes in, as I'll be closing this and tallying everything up on Saturday. June 10th and approximately 1pm GMT. It would be brilliant if we could get a few more votes, as I was really hoping for about 50 people to nominate in the Shortlist thread, so if you haven't voted yet get voting now!

[probablyoliver]

Ugh. I forgot about this.

Ollie's hungover and unhappy, he shall do this on Tuesday, so if anyone wants to vote you have until tuesday. Yeah.
