This list is full of teeny bopping pop songs. Pop isn't rock moron, it's manufactured. Go listen to some real rock before making another list, this one is truly woeful!

adam - the mars volta IP:64.160.116.74 | 2008-01-09 23:26:10
not many people would put the mars volta in a top 100 list.
good man good man..
some of this list is questionable though.
the killers?
they arent good enough the have like 10 songs in there.
and AFI's best song isnt Miss Murder.
unfortunatly the red hot chili peppers have been around since the 80s so you cant put most of their best songs in there or else they would be dominating the list. but cant stop is way way way better than dani so those songs should be switched.
how i could kill a man by rage?
that is NOT their best song. it is just on guitar hero.
overall a unique list.
