14. Black Tide- "Shockwave" [OFF]
13. The White Stripes- "Conquest" [OFF]

I simply adore Serj Tankian' songs and all, but I just can't seem to get into "Lie, Lie, Lie" for some odd and unidentified reason :-/

And you better move your ass and look for good mainstream songs because I can state they still (in a moderate quantity) exist in music industry
This is retroactive to Jan. 11 when this was supossed to be posted. Can Paramore go 9 in a row @ #1? Is that really a question?
