6.  When Doves Cry--Prince  4
7.  Little Deuce Coupe--The Beach Boys  1 ::)
8.  It's The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)--R.E.M.  Okay, but far from their best! 3

12.  Der Kommissar--After the Fire  Good song; I also like Falco's (original) version! 3.5

2.  Walking on the Moon--The Police  All right.  Certainly not the best Police song.  3.5
3.  Superman (It's Not Easy)--Five For Fighting  Many songs, even if you don't like them, you can still make fun of them.  But there's just nothing funny about this song.  0
5.  Fly--Sugar Ray  Sugar Ray has never failed to deliver on breezy summer fun.  One of the few bands that improved after they sold out.  4.5
6.  When Doves Cry--Prince  I consider myself a Prince fan, but I seriously never got this song.  2
7.  Little Deuce Coupe--The Beach Boys  Not the most memorable of their many 60's hits, but decent.  4
8.  It's The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)--R.E.M.  Leonard Bernstein!  5
9.  Hole In The World--The Eagles  I work at Best Buy, where they constantly played this song over Best Buy Radio for a month.  As many issues I have with the Eagles, I never thought they had something this bad in them.  1
11.  3 AM--Matchbox Twenty  A good song from a hit-or-miss group.  4
12.  Der Kommissar--After the Fire  3
13.  Land of Confusion--Genesis  A bit overdone on the 80's synth.  3
14.  Let My Love Open The Door--Pete Townshend  4.5
15.  No Such Thing--John Mayer  It remains John Mayer's finest moment, and a stain on music.  2
16.  Walking on Sunshine--Katrina and the Waves  Said it on several occasions:  If you don't like this song, you have no soul.  5
17.  Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me)--Blessid Union of Souls  A mediocre and easily forgotten AC song.  2.5
18.  Bennie and the Jets--Elton John  I have a weird mixture of feelings of this song -- respect for the craftmanship and skill that Elton puts into all his songs, disgust because the song is still awful.  2
19.  I'm Gonna Getcha Good!--Shania Twain  To quote a friend, "anyone who uses the line “you betcha” in a song should be fed to the lions."  1.5
20.  I Want to Know What Love Is--Foreigner  So many people whose taste in music I respect like this song.  I just don't see anything in this song worth listening to.  2
21.  Push It--Salt n Pepa  Real good.  4.5
22.  Where Did Our Love Go--The Supremes  I like it.  4
23.  Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me--U2  Gag me.  1.5
24.  Summer of '69--Bryan Adams  Gloriously cheesy.  5

1.  When Can I See You Again--Babyface 2
2.  Walking on the Moon--The Police 3.5 (The Police can do much better!)
3.  Superman (It's Not Easy)--Five For Fighting Probably the most overplayed of 2001. 1
4.  Is There Something I Should Know?--Duran Duran 4.5
5.  Fly--Sugar Ray 4.5
6.  When Doves Cry--Prince Killer intro, and it goes downhill from there with a bunch of screeching and other crap at the end.  Basically, I hate it! 1
7.  Little Deuce Coupe--The Beach Boys 4
8.  It's The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)--R.E.M. 3.5 (Not their best but still cool)
9.  Hole In The World--The Eagles Can you say repetitive? Can you say repetitive? Can you say repetitive? 1.5.
10.  No Man's Land--Billy Joel My favorite song off River of Dreams.  By the way, this song is used in my avatar line.  5
11.  3 AM--Matchbox Twenty 2
12.  Der Kommissar--After the Fire 3.5
13.  Land of Confusion--Genesis 5
14.  Let My Love Open The Door--Pete Townshend 4.5
15.  No Such Thing--John Mayer 1
16.  Walking on Sunshine--Katrina and the Waves I have no soul.  0
17.  Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me)--Blessid Union of Souls Kinda annyoing... 2.5
18.  Bennie and the Jets--Elton John 4
19.  I'm Gonna Getcha Good!--Shania Twain "You're a fine piece of real estate, and I'm gonna get me some land." Puh-LEEZ!  1
20.  I Want to Know What Love Is--Foreigner 2.5; gets points docked off for the woman screeching at the end "Ohhhh I wanna know".
21.  Push It--Salt n Pepa 5
22.  Where Did Our Love Go--The Supremes 4.5
23.  Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me--U2 U2's worst. 1
24.  Summer of '69--Bryan Adams Bryan Adams's best!  5
25.  I Didn't Mean To Turn You On--Robert Palmer Don't worry, Robert, you didn't.  1.5

Gulp! More ratings...
Even bigger gulp! Some more stuff I haven't heard of...!

2. Walking On The Moon - Police 4 - not their best by a long chalk, but I do like them echo-ey drums/hi-hats...
4. Is There Something I Should Know - Duran Duran 4 - Duran at (possibly) their best...an effortless pop record...
6. When Doves Cry - Prince 4 - and possibly him at his best, but does tend to outstay its welcome...
7. Little Deuce Coupe - Beach Boys 5 - classic! Okay Karen, that's quits for the Atlantic Starr disagreement...!
8. It's The End Of The World...-R.E.M. 4 - good, fun stuff...('fun' and R.E.M.? Surely something wrong...!)
9. Hole In The World - Eagles 3 - okay but haven't heard it in a while, to be honest...
12. Der Kommissar - After The Fire 3 - a record with 'the 80's' written all over it in terms of production...likeable (just!)
13. Land Of Confusion - Genesis 4 - still a good tune...which will probably upset the 'they went downhill after Gabriel left' purists...
14. Let My Love Open The Door - Pete Townsend 3 - from what I remember...haven't heard this in years...
16. Walking On Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves 4 - fine, happy, bounce-a-long thing...a bit like me circa-1985...!
18. Bennie & The Jets - Elton John 2 - plods along and that's just about all it does...not one of his best...
20. I Want To Know What Love Is - Foreigner 4 - got intensely fed-up of this on release, but time being a healer, in hindsight it's a very good song...
21. Push It - Salt 'N Pepa 1 - sure! Will over a cliff do...?!
22. Where Did Our Love Go - Supremes 5 - definitive piece of Motown - need I say more?
23. Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me - U2 1 - can I go for the last option...??!
24. Summer Of '69 - Bryan Adams 4 - Dinner for two! (Think about it!) Good, shout-a-long number
25. I Didn't Mean To Turn You On - Robert Palmer 2 - much too safe...Cherelle's original wasn't much to write home about either...
