I'll say this: I wasn't expecting "Paranoid Android" and "Flagpole Sitta" to not make the cut (with the tone this list was setting, it'd seem inevitable that one or both of them would be in the top 10), nor for the #1 to be a song from 1996. Oh well. I still like a lot of the songs on this list, even the doofier ones like "The Impression That I Get" or "Fly." Creed still suck though.
