The Top 50 Biggest Rock Hits of 2003

Give me a few minutes, and I'll transcribe it.

I mean, this is not a collection that I plan on listening to soon, if ever. However, maybe I should keep it in case my unborn son or daughter decides to make a CDR-2003 or whatever for his or her ILM friends in the year 2022. I could see my dad throwing out three records full of disco at the end of 1978, even though I'd be interested in at least looking at them today.

50.) "Minerva" by Deftones
49.) "Clocks" by Coldplay

47.) "Caught in the Rain" by Revis

45.) "Go With the Flow" by Queens of the Stone Age

40.) "Innervision" by System of a Down

35.) "Still Waiting" by Sum 41

33.) "Numb" by Linkin Park

31.) "Not Falling" by Mudvayne

24.) "Stupid Girl" by Cold

21.) "Can't Stop" by Red Hot Chili Peppers

19.) "Weak & Powerless" by A Perfect Circle

Rip these, ditch rest.

There's a bit of a difference (Radiohead, The Darkness) but really not that much. I think it is that this year really has seen a fairly big paradigm shift.

And I don't think there's any relation to the Ugly Kid Joe song. Three Days Grace are pretty standard nu-metal, but they've got some OK songs.

I got this set from a radio station with a strict format that was obtained from a music service. I'm sure that's why it's virtually identical to the good doctor's radio station up there.

And yeah, HHH's success was awesome.

I was with you until "Learn To Fly," dude. From then on it's been hit or miss (plus Grohl has been getting bad about not making his groupie-"will this fuck be the one?"-pines incoherent enough to stomach).

True, but a handful of them were fairly mediocre. I'm pretty sick of their "Darling Nikki" cover by this point. And "The One" I didn't think was all that great.

Haven't heard "Darling Nikki," to be honest.

Well, obviously.

And I do like "Times Like These" a fair amount. Shiny power-pop tune, makes me feel good.

and chevelle, cold, and deftones are three of the best rock bands around today period. that cold record was waaaaay overlooked.

"Times Like These" has some of the worst lyrics ever penned by someone not named Chris Cornell.
