Let the countdown continue 90-81



So really what more is there to say but something over due and well after the point. When Kurt Cobain died so did the future. Let's face it once he passed into Rock n' Roll here after all music dried up and became retro and forever pulled backward but then again that is the fate of the Generation X, to insist on looking back to their beginnings like some dumb founded lab bred species wondering where the hell they came from. To spend far too much time probing the question of why did these mixed up people who bred us bother, what did they get out of it? It seems like my ge-ge-ge-generation is as selfish as the folks we were supposed to loath in the 80's; those god dammed yuppy scums who's blind ambition ruined the country . . .at least they got new wave.
What did I get after 1994? The revenge of pop and the dominence of hip hop which were both just nice things for MTV to broadcast sinse the performaers involved all seemed to have nice bodies and fancy things. Now music is sort of rolling somelace that I can't be bothered with to examine.

90. No One Knows by Queens of the Stone age
They get a nod due to their awesome friends
89. Fallin' By Alicia Keys

Moonlight Senata never sounded so top 10.
88. Make it Clap by Busta Rhymes and Spliff Star

Busta's the man and even though isn't his best song it's was the best in new millenium
87. When the Man comes Around by Johnny Cash

Gone but not forgotten, Johnny served us a nice tail of revelations on his way out the door
86. The Rat by the Walkmen

Heart ache and breakup sound perfectly angry and scared on this gem of a song by a band I don't know anything about
85. Do You Want to by Franz Ferdinand

I love the beginning of this song and the way it makes me move is good too
84. Lovely Head by Goldfrapp

In the 00's Goldfrapp was better than Portishead but really the same aside from all that weird dance music
83. Float On by Modest Mouse

This was a big hit for these guys and so they get to make an appearance on the the top 100 of the 00s
82. Crazy by Gnarles Barkley

Another big, big song. These guys will never have to work again. I saw The Racontuers cover this live; it was the high light of the show
81. Fuck the Pain Away by Peaches

If you aren't familiar with the teaches of peaches there are thousands of girls with scars on their arms who are. Why so high on the list? Because it is an anthem of sorts for the alterna-slut culture
