vdadlani219

I only counted 33.

But I voted for:
SHAKE YA TAILFEATHER Nelly, P. Diddy & Murphy Lee

Only because it was in Bad Boys 2 about 8 times (which I sat through twice, ugh)

Rypro 525

i picked other because basically, all the songs on the top 9, are crap. I picked hey ya.

Everyone else post there lists from Top 100 CDs.

gerrythedon

Damn! that's alot of them... Cool, U have 8 of my 13.

B.A.

These are the only ones on that list that I have.

I can't believe Outkast's "Hey Ya" isn't on the Hot 50 songlist - that was the catchiest song I've heard in a long time.

sararekuforever

38, on my second count.

So let's just even it out and say 35 [in between 33 and 38]

Still, the media is pretty dominated by rap and R&B

And the only non rap songs on here are one or two country songs, some "punk rock" songs, and alternarock..

So it's kind of sad, meaning hard rock, metal, pop, and dance are genre with no hope in USA.

Rogue588

That's weird...I get 33 too. And I wouldn't consider the Foos & Audioslave "alternarock"...they are hard rock. As for Metal, it's been dead since the 80s. Also, pop music has an impressive showing on the chart. Then again, you're interpretation of genres and mine could be, and probably are, vastly different.

ANYways, out of the "Top" 100 , i've only purchased 9:

2 COME AWAY WITH ME Norah Jones
8 FALLEN Evanescence
29 SPEAKERBOXXX / THE LOVE BELOW OutKast
39 SHAMAN Santana
65 SOME DEVIL Dave Matthews
86 HOTEL PAPER Michelle Branch
92 LIFE FOR RENT Dido
93 LOVE & LIFE Mary J. Blige
95 ONE BY ONE Foo Fighters

But, I might be returning Mary J. Blige.

sararekuforever

49, 48, 47, 45, 44, 35, 33, 27, 18, 10, 9, 6, 5 on [TOP 50 list]

Songs that are not rap or R&B, 13, leaving 37 songs that are R&B /ROCK

And yeah, my definition of pop is probably different..to me..Clay Aiken, Kelly Clarkson, Norah Jones, and Christina Aguilera really do not write or perform pop music, much less good one...Clarkson has too much R&B/ballad influence, Christina Aguilera is very R&B too, Norah Jones is leaning towards jazz/blues, and Clay Aiken is more like adult contemporary/pop ballad..


I am talking of course about the top 50 songs list..the top 100 album list does have lots of pop and rock on it..and lots of rereleases

It's still very scary [at least to me] that the lists are dominated by rap and R&B..as someone who writes and plays and listens to pop/dance pop and hard rock..it's seems very scary that I might not be able to get into the actual media one day

sebastianv50

Congratulations on actually having good taste in music.

Smidget

Ones I have:
17 A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD Coldplay
71 BACK IN THE U.S. LIVE 2002 Paul McCartney (well I got the DVD)
75 THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS The All-American Rejects
85 ON AND ON Jack Johnson
89 BY THE WAY Red Hot Chili Peppers

Does "overplayed" imply that we can't stand it? Certainly "Hey Ya!" and "Crazy In Love" (and possibly "Rock Your Body") are played often but they are great! As far as "overplayed" is concerned - "In Da Club." I'm still going to vote Other because that "Get Low" song by Lil' John & Eastside Boys has to be *one* of the worst-yet-widely-enjoyed songs of 2003.

fallow

I'm very confused by this statement. Do you think that the only way to get published is to write about pop?

sararekuforever

What I mean is that the music industry right now, is dominated by mostly rap and r&b, with a little bit of punk or alternative rock. It seems there is not much mainstream interest for dance, pop, or hard rock..

In other words, it looks like my group would be very hard to sell in America. Dance pop and hard rock seem to be dying genre in the face of a rap/R&B dominated MTV/VH1 and top 40 radio...

I wanted the teenie bopper phase to end..but I didn't want it to become this..it seemed like the first half of the 90's..and even in between..were much better years for music

LurkerDan

Whoops, the only place in this poll where it stated the actual poll question was at the top of the poll, not in the thread title or 1st thread. I just assumed it was "which one do you like most". So in essence, I voted for the opposite of what the poll was for.

das Monkey

Kind of surprised how many of those I actually own.

Looking at the list it's interesting that nothing off of Norah Jones' or Shania Twain's albums (#2 and #3) made the Top 50 singles.

das

flair

57 ELEPHANT The White Stripes

that is the only cd I own off of that list, and I probably purchased about 100 cd's this year.

kcdny

I chose other, Baby Boy was overplayed.
