I agree with about half of them. Maybe in time, the 2 from 2006 might look more reasonable, but how do you vote a song on that has only been out a couple months. Some of the others I have never heard of, probably because they are brittish bands

 

Otherwise the list looks reasonable

Crazy was released a while ago, and deserves a spot on that list I think.

Wow - good list.  I'd put #3 at #1, though.

I'll give you SCOM at #2, but SLTS is the song that ended the hair band era and put music back in the forefront for a few years until Hanson came along.

 

When I hear that song, I like to think of all the guys in Warrant hearing it for the first time and going, "uh oh".

 

Lots of American music on there for a UK list, though.

IMO "Q" is a music mag for old farts who defy their receding hairlines and increasing beer bellies by listening to a smorgasboard of popular music, without declaring a penchant for any one style (but we'll be morally superior about bands if we can).

 

Yeah all of the songs on the list are mostly fun songs we'd all know - but don't some of them seem just so fricken blah? It's all so ironically middle ages without intending to be so!
