Malcolm-Edge

Scott Stapp and Eddie Vedder do not belong in the same post. What Vedder adds makes him better than Martin, Yorke or Bono, in my opinion. You can feel his emotion. When you can understand him :P

its half mainstream. Not one single in there.

I thought I was late getting it sent too! :P

I dont think Vedder fakes it. He is a natural Baritone.

Most of the Elevation DVD was amazing. The Fly was so damn awesome! On my reasons behind 99 Problems. I love Jay-Z, and it was his top song at the height of his career. I think I know how the ranking system will be done too. One nomination per each is perfect viable and makes sense.

Nice list Prospekt. I love In A Little While, especially the Live from Boston version. Edge is an amazing singer. Im loving all this 99 Problems hate. Its great!

Me too :(

I agree, sounds fair!

I went for my favourites/the best. Also ones with stories behind them. Add to the cool factor I think.

Mine looks so different then all yours. Much more North American.

Its cool! But not as cool as their arena one was to the Arena. To me that worked great. If only they used a LED Screen and didnt rip off U2 completely. Does anyone else think the show is like Zoo TV? Surely Kite will see where I'm coming from!

Here!!!! Not! Just kidding, but calling him a wanker helps how?

Im not removing duplicate artists either. I didnt load my list with them. I have 2 and 3. All others are stretched. Plus I know other people will nominate them anyways.

Thats a little ignorant no? Edit: I like to think of Mayer as he is on stage. I do admit he is a bit douchy though.

1. Coldplay - The Scientist / When people look back at Coldplay in 20 years, this will be the song they are hailed for. Not Yellow, not Clocks, not Viva La Vida. This song is as perfect as Coldplay will ever get. Martin is on his best with writing this song. Simple, angsty, elegant, tragic, the best. 2. Bad - U2 / U2 deserve so much more than one rank by me, and I hate to say it, but I will be breaking your rule. Bad is their best song, the song that catapulted them into super stardom. Odd, because its usually a single that does that. U2 owe themselves to this song and Live Aid. Edge is just begging to learn how to mindf**k the world with his delay in this song. Bono is so raw and full of passion. Their best song 3. 99 Problems - Jay-Z / Many will say this song was Hova at the height of his rap game. Till this day I agree, The Black Album was everything he said it was. With the likes of Kanye West, Timbaland and Dre working with him on it, its bound to be great. His flow is at the top, and Jay proves how great he really is. 4. Hurt - Johnny Cash / Funny a song by Reznor would define the end of one of the greatest musicians careers. The man in black, stole the NIN song and made it his own. Covered after June had passed away, Cash translates the emotion Reznor intended and make this pure powerhouse work. "It's not my song anymore." Reznore says about his most personal song. 5. Billie Jean - Micheal Jackson / Thriller, Beat It and Billie Jean, three greatest songs back to back to back on an album ever. Micheal was a genius and this song to me, not the other two prove it! 6. The Man Who Sold The World - Nirvana / Recorded meer days before that fateful day. Cobain was truly the man who sold the world, and there in sold his soul. He battled himself and lost. This song to me describes Kurt perfectly. 7. Wonderwall - Oasis / A truly magical song. The best Oasis will ever produce. Is it about his ex-wife or imaginary friend? Will we ever know? As good as it'll get for Oasis. 8. Alive - Pearl Jam / Eddie Vedder, the last great rock front man. So full of power and emotion. I picked Alive simply because it showcases his emotion of the story behind it. Vedder's mom lied to him about his father, whom died before he got a chance to meet him. Eddie showcases his vocal power and pure emotion with this one. 9. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd / About Sid, this song was written after he randomly popped into Abbey Road when Floyd was recording after he had left. He just sat there and smoked a cigarette, never said a word. Then left, never to be seen again. Gilmour wrote this as a tribute to him and his lost friend. The most powerful, and meaningful Floyd song. 10. Every Breath You Take - The Police / The most talented group of all time, with their best song written at a time of utter turmoil. Its creepy, strange, yet so compelling. Easily their best song. 11. Man On The Moon - R.E.M. / I once knew the story behind this one. I know its about a comedian, not Neil Armstrong. Great song! 12. Smooth - Santana ft. Rob Thomas / Rob Thomas made Santana cool for my generation. He brought this legend onto contemporary radio again. Also likely Thomas' best song to date, a perfect song all around. 13. Open Your Eyes - Snow Patrol / Sorry folks no story behind this one. Simply just Lightbody's angst. A song that always gets me and never lets go. Easily their best unknown song. 14. Hunger Strike - Temple of tthe Dog / Pearl Jam before Pearl Jam? Soundgarden before Soundgarden? I give you Temple of the Dog. Comprised of one half the original cast of Pearl Jam and one half the original Soundgarden, and one part from Soundgarden now with Pearl Jam. Confusing I know. This was set up just before Nirvana made grunge cool. A amazing duet by the two best grunge vocalist, Cornell and Vedder, with some awesome insturments. Written about what is assumed Robin Hood, its just a plain old great song. Grunge before grunge was cool! 15. Daughters - John Mayer / John Mayer is the new Clapton with a better personality, and better songs. This one was one of his earlier poppy songs. About a girl with daddy issues, and how a child is extremely effected by their parents in the early years. Its about his angst surrounding a girl and how her daddy messed her up. He then pleads with parents to love their children, because they need you in order to be able to love in life. 16. One - U2 / There are so many theories about this song. Often seen as the song that saved U2 during turmoil. They were playing in the studio when they jammed upon this song, and Eno happened to be recording it. they looked at each other and knew this was THE song. "I dont know why people use this as their wedding song. I always feel bad, but dont want to tell them its a break up song" The Edge. So its a clue! 17. Where the Streets Have No Names - U2 / The Best. I repeat, THE BEST album opener of history! This song marked the Edge as a guitar genius. Bono as a lyrical mastermind and kicked off the last great album in the last 25 years. Edge stumbled upon this one night and recorded it right away through a phone I believe. It is easily the best U2 song behind Bad and One. 18. Clocks - Coldplay / "If this song is ever a hit on the radio, I will eat my hat!" The song that helped launch Coldplay into our radio's and keep us there. I once again break the rules. 19. Changes - Tupac / This song has a new meaning ever since November 4th 2008. Does it really change everything though, does Tupac message stills tand strong? Is it just black? Or humanity as a whole? 20. Hey Jude - The Beatles / Their best song in my opinion. Proves the genius of this band. We all know what its about!

QFT! I've sent mine already and am waiting! It sucks.

After seeing the new stage and the addition of new songs. Im becoming less against a Stadium DVD. The final thing to know against Wembley, the sound is very bad. I think a DVD from Vancouver is the best option. With the Wembley one being released with a Best of... like U2 did with Chicago and Milan.

Im against Wembley for a DVD. Not only has it been done so much, but its not the feel of the tour. They intentionally spent over 80% of the Tour in Arena's and more intimate venues. I think that would contradict what the tour was truly about. They could do something like U2 did for the Vertigo Tour. But even then, U2 changed it up when they left the Arenas and hit the stadiums. Coldplay has not. We have seen two songs change, Maybe we'll see more. But I doubt it. Minus Wembley where a mst majority of the fans will be hardcore ones. The Vancouver shows were perfect, and the crowds were amazing. I know Im very biased here, but I want a DVD from an Arena show. Plus filming at Wembley would add a huge stress to them. Go back and read the blog from Vancouver, the end of a leg is supposed to be a relief, cameras prevent that. What about an end to a Tour? They want to have fun in September, not worry about making a DVD. Amsterdam is the only other location viable for a DVD.

Gavin DeGraw - Free...great album this guy has a good feel for music.

I tried a bit of everything. Although I have a lot of mainstream songs only 3 have ever charted to my knowledge.

The tour DVD would preserve my memories forever. Best show of my life to be released on DVD. So excited. Im scarred for looking like an idiot during Politik though. Did you know those lights are fraking bright upclose?

Way back in the golden days. I blame Bert for us not winning the cup that year!

Not anymore. Didnt really like it. I'll live i think.

Mhmm, iTunes will convert them if need be!

thats what Ive been doing. I cant remove 4 album artworks. meh
