Let's make this a series. I'll be back to post the actual list of 2005's top 51 songs, as chosen by the ATRL populace way back when. Then we'll rate them!


Thanks to Brando and supaspaz for the banners!

Spotify Playlist

I'll just say - it's MUCH much different (I'm speak without grammatical accuracy for a reason) than what we would allow now.

Ooh, what are the songs?

I might be able to make you something basic later, but @michael his graphics talent is the Gaga to my Katy.

Yes, we were as messy back then as we are now.

Y'all know what to do - send me a PM with your votes. Rate all 51 songs, from 0 - 10. Be fair, and also relisten! Renegage with this stuff. Should be fun!

Let's start with 2005!

Screaming at the list

Biology ha chance for redemption tho

OMG some of these songs are so horrible.

It's so funny because, nine years later, we all know the top five will be:

1. Cool
2. Since U Been Gone
3. We Belong Together
4. Biology
5. Hung Up

Those rock songs are leaving first.

Gold Digger and Lose Control could cause a storm too.

Hopefully my votes will kick three of those

Let's remember to give Wake Up and Over tens please.

LMAO Ryan Cabrera. No Ciara, but Ryan Cabrera. God bless the old ATRL.

Ryan Cabrera, Oh My God

I gave plenty of 1-3s, but my one 0 is the one truly AWFUL crime against music.

James Blunt?
