Best of the Rest of the Top 40: 2001

I was going to resign myself to voting for Lifehouse until I scrolled down and saw someone mentioned Moby. I didn’t even see “South Side” the first time I scanned the list. It’s notable as the only song where I can stand Gwen Stefani.

Train is horrible and I hate them. To borrow from the world-renowned** Ponch8 Rating System,** they need to finish dead-ass last.

My vote was for the surprisingly-underperforming “If You’re Gone”, which I always thought was one of Matchbox Twenty’s best songs.

Dido.

I do NOT understand Train’s popularity, then or now. Talk about lame lyricists.

Dido for me. No contest, and I definitely don’t agree with the characterization of it as “crappy”.

Hey, I still recognize some of the songs on this list!

I’ll join the “Drops of Jupiter” group.

It’s ditto.
