Everybody's entitled to their own opinion.


Atleast Deborah Gibson had talent & now has a successful career in theatre instead of dangling babies or having "wardrobe malfunctions".  (I happen to like some of her material)

"With You"(Jessica Simpson) 1  hate Jessica and it was overplayed
"American Idiot"(Green Day)  2 don't much care for Green Day
"Let's Get It Started"(Black Eyed Peas) 3.5  don't really *like* it but its fun
"Ch-Check It Out"(Beastie Boys) 2  not one of my favorites
"Talk About Our Love"(Brandy) never heard it
"Somebody Told Me"(Killers)  5  i love this one!!!
"Ocean Avenue"(Yellowcard) 2  it was weird
"Love Profusion"(Madonna) 1  i stay away from madonna music as much as possible

"My Immortal"(Evanescence, late 2003) an excellent song, evanescence is great
"Turn Me On"(Kevin Lyttle) It's alright
"1985"(Bowling For Soup) It's really pretty bad
"Burn"(Usher) Good song
"Everytime"(Britney Spears) It's alright, actually considering it's Britney it's pretty good
"My Happy Ending"(Avril Lavigne) The whole Under My Skin album is pretty bad
"With You"(Jessica Simpson) Liked it then, it's still alright I guess
"American Idiot"(Green Day) I prefer Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Holiday, but this one's ok too
"Let's Get It Started"(Black Eyed Peas) One of their better songs
"Somebody Told Me"(Killers) Great band
"Ocean Avenue"(Yellowcard) alright
"Love Profusion"(Madonna) not good
"F**k It(I Don't Want You Back)" pretty bad, thankfully a one hit wonder

Other 2004 songs:

"If I Ain't Got You" (Alicia Keys) Like one of the biggest hits of 2004 and an excellent song
"Broken" (Seether & Amy Lee) Amy Lee does it again, excellent
"Dip It Low" (Christina Milian) Good song
"All Falls Down" (Kanye West) I used to play this over and over again in Spring 04, still kinda do actually
"Meant To Live" (Switchfoot) I remember this getting a lot of airplay, it's a good song as well
"The Reason" (Hoobastank) It's decent

"My Immortal"(Evanescence, late 2003) 4- I actually like this song, really, despite it's over-play.
"Turn Me On"(Kevin Lyttle)  1- Awful song, and his voice made me want to punch a baby.
"1985"(Bowling For Soup)  1- Awful song, over-played, over-rated, not that funny. Also, it was about the 80s, the worst thing to happen to culture since the 70s.
"Burn"(Usher)  3- Catchy, decent, but not my boat, really.
"Everytime"(Britney Spears)  2- Thing song was.. really upsetting, for some reason.. for, like, everyone in my family.. none of us could get through it.
"My Happy Ending"(Avril Lavigne)  1- Not a big fan of Avril, she seems to plagarize a lot of artists musically.
"With You"(Jessica Simpson)  1- bugged me a lot.
"American Idiot"(Green Day)  I can't possibly rate this low enough. This is one of the single worst songs I have ever heard. The vocals are annoying, it's not catchy at all, the guitar is boring, it was over-rated, everyone sang it all the time, and insisted on imitating the nasally vocals... awful in every way.
"Let's Get It Started"(Black Eyed Peas)  2- Not bad, but this was the beginning of the Black-Eyed Peas entering the awful, awful, awful era of "My Humps" and "Pump It".
"Ch-Check It Out"(Beastie Boys)  2- I'm not a fan of The Beastie Boys.
"Somebody Told Me"(Killers)  4- I'm a huge fan of this album, but this is nowhere near the best track.
"Ocean Avenue"(Yellowcard)  1- I HATE Yellowcard. This song was okay the first time I heard it, but then I realized it was basically three things I hate: Simple Plan (sounds just like them), teenage a--holes playing electric guitar, and surfers... not a good combo.
"F**k It(I Don't Want You Back)"  3- This was okay, but the girl's sequel pissed me off, cause it essentially said cheating was acceptable if the guy was a bad lay.
