    well damn, guess i picked the wrong time to post that message, should have never mentioned linkin park. Anyways, they are going to post the entire list after they have reached #1.
    They are at #19 and it's Long View by Green Day and i'm going to guess not too many people are happy with that. And the only pearl jam song i've heard so far was Yellow Ledbetter at #60 (i think).

    true, lists are lists. but i like it when i know on a saturday of the long weekend, the radio is doing a full day of the best music. Then i can just chill out, turn on the radio and know i'm going to hear some good music. Oh and btw, something a little interesting. pearl jam is on right now at #17 with Alive, just beating out Comes as you Are at 18.

    well it isn't going to be Teen Spirit, everyone has been guessing Teen Spirit and the dj just said that he hasn't had the right answer yet. I'm going to say that it's Paranoid Android by radiohead. right now they just entered the top 5 and it's anarchy in the uk by the sex pistols at 5.

    So... how many years back does this thing go? I wouldn't have thought "new rock" applied to the Sex Pistols...
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    i guess it applies to what they play on their station. They said that the results were done by weeks on their charts, inside voting, and fan voting.


    And at # 1 - London Calling by The Clash

    So, Linkin Park is okay, but the list lost credibility when Nirvana entered the list?

    Huh? Did I read that right?

    Great tune, but not 'new'.

    Btw, great choice with Everlong.
