    It says it's now playing Alive by Pearl Jam... that's weird.

    But ya, normally Alive is on those lists... KROQ down here did a top 100 last year and I think 20 Pearl Jam songs were on it, more than any other band.


    Oh and the same song was #1.... of course.
    Stone Gossard...riffmeister extraordinaire!

    I am a man, I am advanced.....I am the first man to borrow Stone's leather pants!

    thats awesome :) and yeah i guessed what was #1 without looking. i mean i'll give it the praise it deserves for bringing grunge into the mainstream i guess, but the best song? not even close. oh, and alive is #245

    yeah, im not sure if the station keeps a running total of the amount of times each song gets played/requested and that's how the list was made. or, if it was the djs who chose the songs and where to put them..... could be both.
    it was fun to listen to, though. so many songs that i forgot about. it was awesome hearing interstate love song as number 5.

    thats not a bad list but as always there are some shit anomalies, like Nickleback in the top ten.....

    and Green Day have done much better than longview.....but its all opinion I guess

    Sublime at #2? I feel as if I am the only North American male in the world that despises Sublime.

    Nah, there's at least one more. I never got it, and I'm glad.

    I was shocked that song was number too, but I do like Sublime.

    Their list is debunked by the simple fact that they have "Last Kiss" in the top 500 songs ever. That song isn't even in the top 500 songs on my iPod.

    Linkin Park's "In The End" is number 11. The list has lost all validity because of that.

    No. Nickelback being at #8 is much worse.

    Yup, nickelback is possibly the worst band. EVER. Typically bad bands don't bother me that much, but my freshman year in college two of my roomates were huge fans of nickelback and would talk about them more than most of us probably talk about PJ to non-fans. Just awful, and to make it worse, they were both pretty nice guys, so it's not like I could hate them or pass them off as idiots, they for whatever reason just thought the band was good.
