DarkStormSC Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I'm shocked at Eminem and JLO. I don't particularly even like "Jenny from the Block" but thought it would do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSimba Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I like rock songs when they have something unique going for them (well, this applies to any song in general), but these didn't really stand out to me. I don't think they're not the worst of the group though.The Mario song is ok, but the original by Biz Markie is where it's really at. In high school, we actually got a writing prompt for a practice SAT asking us to interpret "Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got." I always found that m&m song vile and irredeemable, so I'm not disappointed to see it go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Off course the rock songs go first some of them sounded the same, others stood out because they were hits so I wasnt going to rate them low just because they're rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistedElegance™ Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 No Doubt kick off our Top 10 with their dancehall classic, Hey Baby. The first song lifted from Rock Steady, it marked a change in the band's sound, which had progressed from garage rock and ska to pop which incorporated synths and borrowed heavily from reggae. Produced by legendary Jamaican duo Sly & Robbie, the song was one of the first written for the album, and its lyrics reflected the rowdy behaviour of their post-concert parties from the late '90s, where female groupies would attempt to hook up with the male band members. Its video, directed by Dave Meyers, was a source of conflict between No Doubt and the song's featured artist, Bounty Killer. Drummer Adrian Young's full frontal nude scene, shown during Bounty Killer's line "The way you rock your hips, you know that it amaze me," prompted the rapper's rival Beenie Man to state, "the video portrays Bounty as a gay. That is a Jamaican artist, and that can't go on in a dancehall, no way." Bounty Killer cancelled his performances with No Doubt because of the incident, stating that, "They did not understand because they are from America and they accept gay people… If Jamaica is upset, I ain't going to accept no success that my culture is not proud of." However, his lack of promotional appearances did nothing to hinder the song's success. It became the group's first Top 5 single on the Hot 100, and went on to win the Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Around the world, it peaked at No. 2 in New Zealand and the UK, while reaching the Top 10 in Australia, Germany, Norway and Romania.The breakdown ~ Hey Baby reached No. 5 on the Hot 100 and places 10th with a voter average of 7.10 - Dammn Bu & Jarrylf9 - DarkStormSC, kennita jo & TwistedElegance8 - __VelvetKnowledge18147 - God, hotboy06 & RedSimba4 - LyricalLesson3 - Stealth1 - Game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistedElegance™ Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Ninth place goes to Avril Lavigne and her debut single, Complicated. After signing to Arista in late 2000, the Canadian began working on her debut album, Let Go, with folk music the main focus after her audition for L.A. Reid consisted of ballads and country-tinged songs. However, Lavigne had recently discovered guitar-based rock and resisted the labels push for her to record songs written by other writers. She relocated to Los Angeles and connected with Clif Magness, who gave her ample creative control in the writing process. Unhappy with the hard rock edge, Arista suggested a compromise by pairing her with pop producers. Eventually she proceeded with The Matrix and after they presented Complicated to Reid he agreed it was the direction Lavigne should be taking, and also that it should serve as the lead single. It was incredibly well-received by the public, with the early '00s pop phenomenon fading it seemed like perfect timing for a young, Alanis-like character to shake things up. Not only was Complicated a major hit around the world, topping the chart in Australia for six weeks and reaching Top 5 in over ten countries, it was also a critical success, earning Lavigne Grammy nominations for Song of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Billboard ranked it one of their Top 100 Singles of the 2000s, whilst Rolling Stone readers voted it the eighth best song of the decade.The breakdown ~ Complicated reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 and places 9th with a voter average of 7.08.9 - DarkStormSC8 - Dammn Bu, hotboy06, Stealth & TwistedElegance7 - Jarrylf, kennita jo & __VelvetKnowledge18146 - Game, God, RedSimba5 - LyricalLesson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSimba Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I used to like this song at the time. I remember first hearing it at an end-of-the-year pool party, so it does have that positive memory going for it. Well actually, it started to skip near the end and the DJ had to switch to the next song lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
