I'm pretty happy with that list, even though it's not the most accurate, at least it's better than most of the music lists that say 50 Cent is number 1. *rolls eyes* Though Avril Lavigne shouldn't be on it at all. Rather, she should be 1# on the 100 worst songs.

System of a Down should score a little higher. I like how My Chemical Romance, Evanescence (even though Evanescence's worst song made it to 32 on there), The Rasmus and The White Stripes got on it.

Thank god Queen made it to the top ten.

[Lindy]

Kerrang need an awful lot of death, an indescribable amount of death.

[Rye]

At least it's not overflowing the super emo stuff that you hate.

[Lindy]

Excuse me, I like some emo.

I happen to enjoy Bright Eyes, though that's more folk than emo sometimes, and a few other bands, but I don't listen to them quite so much any more.

What I hate is generic, homogenised, emotionless trash. The kind of music that the writers are performers pretty much sleep through as they create, it doesn't matter about the genre, if people have put themselves into their music and it's taken EFFORT, then I'll like it.

Most of what is on this list is just...embarassing, I see, at most 10 songs on there I like, and songs by bands that are just AWFUL in comparison to their other work.

I actually agree here, though perhaps not such an extreme extent that I would consider all music bar the ones I like awful, merely not exactly my cup of tea (or perhaps they are my cup of tea, because I don't like tea).

Kerrang need an awful lot of death, an indescribable amount of death.

You were right here though.

[Aurey]

Kerrang need an awful lot of death, an indescribable amount of death.

Agreed.

There's a few good songs, but the majority of the songs are just terrible.

[Zeldy]

O_o
I like the songs on there, The Rasmus, AAF, Good Charlotte,My Chemical romance,The offspring.. all good!

[Dr.K]

While I might agree with some songs on there, KNOWING that the list was formulated by Kerrang sadly leeches out all respect I have for it.

[Jebus]

Queen should've been higher.

This list can basically be described as "Stuff that sucks, with some Queen in there"

Unless I passed over a band I like in there, which is entirely possible with the amount of crap in there.

[Cz]

It's difficult to take this list seriously when you consider that a good quarter of the tracks in there were released in the last twelve months or so. There's some good music in there, but as a definitive list of the top 100 rock songs it makes no sense.

[boris no no]

Agreed.

There's a few good songs, but the majority of the songs are just terrible.

agreed!
i remember when kerrang was still a smallish mag with its fluffy clooud writing! then the samshes.
stopped when it went crap though.

It makes perfect sense. What is Kerrang!'s target audience? 13-14 year old moshers in Linkin Park hoodies. Now look at the list again. Make sense now, doesn't it?

[Sephex]

No Nine Inch Nails = list sucks.
