1.  Oh Boy--Cam'ron
"Hey Ma" was one of the best pop-rap singles of the past couple years.  This is one of the worst.  1

2.  Scar Tissue--Red Hot Chili Peppers
Very dull.  A stain on the Chili Peppers' name.  1.5

3.  Clocks--Cold Play
This is the point where I had to admit that, yeah, Coldplay actually were a pretty good band.  4

4.  Still the Same--Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
I loathe Bob Seger.  1

5.  Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me--U2
One thing U2 should never be associated with is tuneless, boring crap such as this.  1.5

6.  Synchronicity II--The Police
Synchronicity is an overrated album, but this is one of the definite high points.  4

7.  Mony Mony--Billy Idol
Not handled very well.  Too long.  2

8.  New Sensation--INXS
I wish I was Michael Hutchence.  4.5

9.  I Will Always Love You--Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston had such a powerful, clear voice.  And such annoying, overplayed songs.  2

10.  In Your Eyes--Peter Gabriel
This is actually me and my girlfriend's "song."  5

11.  Jenny From the Block--Jennifer Lopez
Jenny, if you're going to lie, at least try and be clever about it.  1

12.  You Shook Me All Night Long--AC/DC
Has there never been a better song about sex and sleaze than this?  5

13.  A Thousand Miles--Vanessa Carlton
I feel like a complete and utter sap for liking this song, but I love it wholeheartedly.  5

14.  Jump!--Van Halen
Best use of the cheesy synthesizer organ ever.  5

16.  Another Day in Paradise--Phil Collins
I kind of like this song, even though everything about makes me want to puke.  Wrap your head around that one.  3

17.  What I Am--Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians
God damn treehugging hippie!  2

18.  Total Eclipse of the Heart--Bonnie Tyler
Totally BORING eclipse of the Heart.  2

20.  If I Ever Lose my Faith in You--Sting
One of the few entertaining moments in Sting's solo career.  4

21.  One Last Breath--Creed
Ugh.  Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh.  Creed gets even closer to becoming Journey, which is somehow much worse than it should be.  0

22.  Country Grammar--Nelly
Nelly's job is to spout gibberish while an enjoyable beat goes on behind him.  I didn't like the beat with this one.  1

23.  Every Morning--Sugar Ray
Catchy, if ubiquitous radio single.  It's pleasant.  3.5

24.  The Flame--Cheap Trick
Cheap Trick... how the mighty have fallen.  2

25.  Big Yellow Taxi--Counting Crows feat. Vanessa Carlton
It's all right, but Vanessa's presence knocks it down a half point.  3

3.  Clocks--Cold Play just can't get into Coldplay
5.  Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me--U2 not one of their best

7.  Mony Mony--Billy Idol good remake
9.  I Will Always Love You--Whitney Houston annoying!
11.  Jenny From the Block--Jennifer Lopez more annoying!
13.  A Thousand Miles--Vanessa Carlton overplayed - consequently, I don't like it anymore
14.  Jump!--Van Halen ok - but not really my cuppa tea
16.  Another Day in Paradise--Phil Collins love the tune and beat to this song - it's very moving
18.  Total Eclipse of the Heart--Bonnie Tyler one of the best power ballads

22.  Country Grammar--Nelly ok
23.  Every Morning--Sugar Ray quite like it

Well, on the off chance that anyone else in interested in my humble opinion, here goes! (omitting songs I don't know)

(2) Scar Tissue--Red Hot Chili Peppers
3 - OK - I prefer the older, wilder RHCP stuff

(3) Clocks--Cold Play
5 - brilliant! I wasn't into Coldplay before hearing this

(4) Still the Same--Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
2 - can't say I'd thought about this song in the 20 years since I last heard it!

(5) Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me--U2
2 - one of their weakest ever songs

(7) Mony Mony--Billy Idol
1 - just bad.

(8} New Sensation--INXS
2 - I don't like INXS at all

(9) I Will Always Love You--Whitney Houston
3 - just for Whitney's incredible voice

(11) Jenny From the Block--Jennifer Lopez
1 - oh come on J-Lo, who are you trying to kid?

(12) You Shook Me All Night Long--AC/DC
4 - I love AC/DC, but this isn't their best. Whole Lotta Rosie (live) would have been a 5.

(14) Jump!--Van Halen
3 - give me "Eruption" any day over this

(15) That's All--Genesis
2 - pleasant but unmemorable

(16) Another Day in Paradise--Phil Collins
3

(17)  What I Am--Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians
4 - for personal reasons, reminds me of a very happy time in my life

(18} Total Eclipse of the Heart--Bonnie Tyler
1 - awful, everything AND the kitchen sink thrown in production and that grating voice - arrrggghhh!

(19) Don't Ask Me Why--Billy Joel
2

(20) If I Ever Lose my Faith in You--Sting
3

(24) The Flame--Cheap Trick
4 - see "What I Am" above, weren't these both out around the same time?

(25) Big Yellow Taxi--Counting Crows feat. Vanessa Carlton
1 - NO, NO, NO!
