This a strange mix but I like it; it doesn't veer too far in any direction and stays the course of solid. I think I made this mix in early 2005.
enjoy
1. 100% by Sonic Youth
Two minutes and thirty seconds of beautiful noise
2. Dirty Little Thing by Velvet Revolver
Scott Weiland really does his thing on this track; I can see him singing this when his voice comes on
3. Hollywood Nights by Bob Seger
That galloping beat, the story, the emoting all make Mr. Seger deserve more modern props
4. Candy Everybody Wants by 10,000 Maniacs
College music goes mainstream; is this a happy song?
5. Pain by Jimmy Eat World
Jimmy Eat World would have been bigger in the 80s as they don't fit our modern ideas of needing to categorize rock bands into sub genres
6. Black Heart by Calexico
Depressing . . .
7. Vertigo by U2
The last good U2 song
8. Ace Of Spades by Motörhead
This is one of the greatest hard rock songs ever and somehow I didn't hear it's first 24 years of public availability.
9. Megalomaniac by Incubus
This is the only Incubus song I can tolerate
10.Magic by Olivia Newton-John
She's straight about it, "We have to believe we are magic, nothing can stand in our way."Olivia's vocals were so seductive on this track I was ready to believe her, roller skates and all
11.Brain Stew by Green Day
I thought for a while this would be Green Day's last song of note but then that American Idiot thing showed up.
12.Callin' Out by Lyrics Born
East Bay style rap; is it better than the Humpty Dance?
13.Fit but You Know It by The Streets
Listen and follow the story; it's funny
14.The Widow by The Mars Volta
Overrated band
15.Slow Hands by Interpol
Sounding like Joy Division and on the top of their game
16.An Honest Mistake by The Bravery
Sounding like New Order and on the top of their game
17.People Who Died by Jim Carroll
Death is funny when it rhymes. R.I.P. Jim
18.The Rat by The Walkmen
For me there was only this song by These guys and then they exploded
19.Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Ladies and gentlemen, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. This is a great song to put on a Mix CD when you're moving away from your loved one or the other way around
20.Rock You Like A Hurricane by Scorpions
EPIC metal from the 80s; if their is one song you need in your collection by these Germans, this is it.

00s Countdown 30-21
This is getting nervous! This is where there will be more people throwing fits and crying than before. Am I right about these songs and their placements? With out a doubt!
30. Somebody Told Me by The Killers
This Las Vegas band scored big with this key board heavy 80s throw back sound.
29. Beautiful by Christina Aguilera
"Don't look at Me", whispers the little blond during her porno phase when she was showing her bare ass to the world; it makes perfect sense to me. "Beautiful" is a song that once you hear it you can't get it out of your head and it makes you feel good about your self. They should print these lyrics and post them in jr. highs across the country.
28. Hay Baby by No Doubt
From one blond to another. This is the tale about being a chick behind stage and seeing just how disgusting boys really are while sipping tea and being bothered by fans. the best part of the song is when the dance hall bt by Bounty Hunter.
27. Time is Running Out by Muse
Relationships can be suffocating and this song illustrates this perfectly with buzzing guitar and anguished vocals.
26. Without Me by Eminem
Ladies and gentlemen the most famous white rapper of all time, Eminem. This song encapsulates the media circus his life had become after selling millions of records and giving up his privacy and any chance to raise his daughter normally. It's serious but funny but serious but an F.U. to just about everybody.
25. Get Ur Freak On by Missy Elliott
This song changed the way we refer to sex. Her videos at this point were directed By Hype! and very cutting edge.
24. Get Busy by Sean Paul
Yes! Make me dance you crazy Jamaican dance hall machine! This song takes me to another place in the world of dance music without even asking!
23. The Middle by Jimmy Eat World
So catchy! Jimmy Eat world may be worst band name on this list but the song, The Middle is like a great rock pop song from the 80's. If you're curious the video has lots of people in their underwear which pushed the popularity of the song quite a bit.
22. Tick Tick Boom by the Hives
This is the highest ranking song by Swedes on the countdown. I was sold the moment I heard this song; it's the best piece the band has put out and it rocks! Besides having a great sound the band has a great look. They are so cool!
21. Fell In Love With A Girl by The White Stripes
I don't know if this is supposed to be a Buzzcocks tribute but it might as well be. This song was our introduction to possibly the band of the decade or at the rock dude of the decade known as Jack White. He and his wife/sister formed this duet and made great sounds while wearing nothing but black ,white and black; it was a gimmick that worked.
