Hijacked Report Card - 10/19/05

[crash46]

Chr-Pop:

Kanye West - Gold Digger: n/a
Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You: n/a
Mariah Carey - Shake It Off: F
Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends: A-
Black Eyed Peas - My Humps: F (My biggest fear, hearing this song, occurred last night. I couldn't have turned it off fast enough. God, they used to be respectable at the very least, and I'm not talking about "Where Is The Love". I mean, before that.)
Nickelback - Photograph: B-
Weezer - Beverly Hills: B
Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down: A-
Bow Wow (featuring Ciara) - Like You: n/a
Lifehouse - You And Me: B-
Chris Brown (featuring Juelz Santana)- Run It: n/a (but as I said before, a week ago, this kid was a nobody. Why is it so easy for nobody's to score smash pop hits.)
Pretty Ricky - Your Body: n/a
Rihanna - Pon De Replay: C- (it just gets more and more annoying the more you listen to it. And didn't her name used to be 'Rhianna'? What's up with that.)
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.: A
Frankie J - More Than Words: n/a (my girlfriend is furious that this song was remade, though.)
Pussycat Dolls - Don't Cha: F (still the #2 worst song of 2005)
Akon - Belly Dancer (Bananza): n/a
D.H.T. - Listen To Your Heart: B+
Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes: C+
Papa Roach - Scars: B
Missy Elliott (featuring Ciara) - Lose Control: D+
Pussycat Dolls - Stickwitu: n/a (all signs are pointing to F, though.)
Ashley Simpson - Boyfriend: n/a (Heard it once and all I remember is that she tries too hard when she just doesn't have the ability to be trying to begin with.)
Black Eyed Peas - Dont' Lie: n/a
Mariah Carey - Don't Forget About Us: n/a (again, with a total of one listenable song released in the 00's, the outlook is not too bright.)
Ryan Cabrera - Shine On: n/a (I think I heard this yesterday, and the song was just 'there'.)
Sean Paul - We Be Burning (Legalize It): n/a (I wouldn't call him to be a spokesperson to legalize anything, though.)
Gwen Stefani - Cool: B+
Marcos Hernandez: If You Were Mine: n/a (who?)
Click Five - Just The Girl: D+ (I so hate obvious attempts to make retarded catch phrases like all the ones in this song.)
Bow Wow (featuring Omarion) - Let Me Hold You: n/a
Gavin Degraw - Follow Through: n/a
Gwen Stefani - Luxurious: n/a (can't really say I know what to expect here, though.)
David Banner - Play: n/a
Keith Urban - You'll Think Of Me: n/a (it seems like this song has been at the bottom of the chart all year long. Or maybe it's just him.)
All-American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret: n/a
T-Pain - I'm Sprung: n/a (who?)
Rihanna - If It's Lovin' That You Want: n/a
Nelly - Fly Away: n/a (what's he doin' with a Lenny Kravitz song, though.)
Young Jeezy (featuring Akon) - Soul Survivor: n/a
50 Cent (featuring Mobb Deep) - Outta Control: n/a
Carlos Santana (featuring Michelle Branch) - I'm Feeling You: n/a
Howie Day - She Says: n/a
Ying Yang Twins - Badd: n/a
Madonna - Hung Up: n/a (every 3 years people keep saying she's finished. And every 3 years, they end up being all wrong.)
Simple Plan - Crazy: n/a
Switchfoot - Stars: B
Veronicas - 4ever: n/a (who?)
Rob Thomas - This Is How A Heart Breaks: B
Shakira - Don't Bother: n/a (seriously could be anything from an A to an F[/b], though.[/color]

Alternative:

Nine Inch Nails - Only: A (I like this just as much as "The Hand That Feeds", now)
311 - Don't Tread On Me: A
Audioslave - Doesn't Remind Me: A- (I always find a way to like their songs, even though they're never anything we haven't heard before.)
Foo Fighters - DOA: B+
Staind - Right Here: C+ (it was okay at first, but the song just got really boring.)
Shinedown - Save Me: B-
Killers - All These Things That I've Done: B+
System Of A Down - Question!: A
Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To?: B+
Foo Fighters - Best Of You: B+ (The Foo Fighters really should be getting pop hits with most of their songs, especially now with the top 10 being 40% crossovers.)
Disturbed - Stricken: B+
Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body: B
Trapt - Stand Up: C
Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country: A
White Stripes - My Doorbell: B
Seether - Remedy: B-
Strokes - Juicebox: A-[/b] (so far)
Korn - Twisted Transistor: B-
30 Seconds To Mars - Attack: A
System Of A Down - Hypnotize: B+ (so far)
Weezer - Perfect Situation: n/a
10 Years - Wasteland: B- (should this song ever die.)
My Chemical Romance - The Ghost Of You: B+
Coheed And Cambria - The Suffering: n/a (looks like I'll have to burn the album to hear this. The radio continues to play their 'teaser' single, "Welcome Home", here.)
Depeche Mode - Precious: A- (so far)
Story Of The Year - We Don't Care Anymore: B+ (so far. The promotion of this song seems piss-poor and it will probably kill this band off.)
Seether - Truth: n/a
Jack Johnson - Good People: n/a
Coldplay - Fix You: B+
Institute - Bullet-Proof Skin: n/a
Bravery - Unconditional: B+
O.A.R. - Love And Memories: n/a
Offspring - Next To You: n/a
Taproot - Calling: B+
Default - Count On Me: B-
HIM - Rip Out The Wings Of A Butterfly: A
Morningwood - Nth Degree: n/a (Heard it once and remembered it being kind of annoying, but I wasn't really paying attention.)
Fray - Over My Head (Cable Car): n/a (I'd like to at least hear it before it falls off the chart.)
Living Things - Bom Bom Bom: n/a (who?)
Blink 182 - Not Now: n/a (I'm sure I'll get plenty of opportunities)
Weezer - We Are All On Drugs: A- (the song completely folded right when the video was released. I wonder if that's a coincidence.)
Disturbed - Guarded: n/a (Disturbed is not that big-name of a band, "Stricken" isn't exactly turning any heads on the chart, and this song isn't even a single. How is this still on the chart.)
Gorillaz - Dare: n/a
Queens Of The Stone Age - Burn The Witch: n/a (I could change that simply by playing the album. But where was this third single when Songs For The Deaf desperately needed one?)
3 Doors Down - Live For Today: B
Mudvayne - Forget To Remember: B (No excuses; Epic should be able to do much better with a top-10 followup. It's doing fine at Active, but that's not enough.)

A. C.

Rob Thomas - Lonely No More: C (#1???)
Michael Buble - Home: n/a
Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway: C
Mariah Carey - We Belong Together: C
Eagles - No More Cloudy Days: n/a
Anna Nalick - Breathe (2AM): B
Backstreet Boys - Incomplete: C
Kimberley Locke - I Could: n/a (if her other hit single is an indication, her music is worthless.)
Carrie Underwood - Inside Your Heaven: n/a
Goo Goo Dolls - Give A Little Bit: B- (what's this still doing here.)
Hootie And The Blowfish - One Love: n/a (lol...still tryin'...)
Jon Secada - Window To My Heart: n/a
Eric Clapton - Say What You Will: n/a (I'm sick of all those commercials for high-speed internet companies who try to plug his new singles as if he's this huge pop star, though.)
Delta Goodrem - Lost Without You: n/a
Jim Brickman (with Wayne Brady) - Beautiful: n/a
Natalie Grant - Held: n/a
Simply Red - Perfect Love: n/a
Vertical Horizon - Forever: C (the song is exactly the same as "I'm Still Here".)
James Blunt - You're Beautiful: n/a
Jesse McCartney - Beautiful Soul: D (ok, enough songs with the word "Beautiful" in them, please.)
Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone: C-
Paul McCartney - Fine Line: n/a
Scott Grimes - Livin' On The Run: n/a
Michael Bolton - Til The End Of Forever: n/a

3 Doors Down - Here By Me: n/a
Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl: D
Natasha Bedingfield - These Words: D+
Liz Phair - Everything To Me: n/a
Def Leppard - No Matter What: n/a (I've witnessed at least 3 middle-aged complete strangers calling this 'a sellout song', though.)

[a Nick O!]

CHR/Pop:

Kanye West f/ Jamie Foxx - Gold Digger: B (Steve, you've never heard this?! You'll be sick of it come February. I'm already sick of it. Someone should really tell Jamie Foxx that he's not Ray Charles, though.)
Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You: B+ (Yeah, I genuinely like Kelly Clarkson now. I want a used copy of this album. Sue me.)
Mariah Carey - Shake It Off: D
Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends: A+
Black Eyed Peas - My Humps: C- (My tolerance of this song was short lived, apparently. God, what a wack group. They used to be boring backpack hip hop. Now they're hip hop for white people.)
Nickelback - Photograph: B- (Their best single since "Too Bad," and "How You Remind Me," which I thought were good, if generic. Though it pisses me off that they think they're getting away with a subtle pot reference, pondering the eye redness of a particular photograph. I know you're not talking about the flash, guys. :
Weezer - Beverly Hills: B (This is decent, but only after being bludgeoned with it all spring, summer, and fall. It's not "good" the way most casual fans of the song think it is.)
Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down: B+ (But the band is overrated.)
Bow Wow (featuring Ciara) - Like You: C+(Ciara, you can do better than him.)
Lifehouse - You And Me: C+
Chris Brown (featuring Juelz Santana)- Run It!: D+ (I echo Steve's comment. Hey. We already have an Usher.)
Pretty Ricky - Your Body: F (F**k these walking hard-ons and their sh***y songs.)
Rihanna - Pon De Replay: C (Steve, that apparently was just an R&R typo that went on for several weeks. My tolerance of this song was also short lived.)
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.: A
Frankie J - More Than Words: C (This is just another example of me starting to know how olda folks felt/feel when songs they came of age with were remade when I was.)
Pussycat Dolls - Don't Cha: F
Akon - Belly Dancer (Bananza): D
D.H.T. - Listen To Your Heart: A-
Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes: A (Avril rip-off or not, I've come to love this song.)
Papa Roach - Scars: A
Missy Elliott (featuring Ciara) - Lose Control: D- (The only thing saving this from the Firing Squad is that kooky ascending keyboard loop.)
Pussycat Dolls - Stickwitu: nfe (Just heard/saw this for the first time this morning, and while it didn't insult my intelligence the way "Don't Cha" does, it was a bland ballad. Probably a low C or high D.)
Ashley Simpson - Boyfriend: D (That guitar line is overproduced and that laugh sample is just irritating. "Pieces of Me" wasn't that bad and "La La" was tolerable for a key phrase it had, but into the trash heap with you.)
Black Eyed Peas - Dont' Lie: D (Hip hop doesn't get any whiter than this.)
Mariah Carey - Don't Forget About Us: n/a (But I just learned today that this song will only be available on a f***ing re-release.)
Ryan Cabrera - Shine On: C (So "True" seems to be his only good song.)
Sean Paul - We Be Burning (Legalize It): C- (Wow, I didn't know about this obnoxious subtitle until just now, I think. That actually makes me like this song less. Yeah, Sean, they're gonna overturn the laws because of you and this song.)
Gwen Stefani - Cool: B+
Marcos Hernandez: If You Were Mine: nfe ("who?" Frankie K, Steve.)
Click Five - Just The Girl: C-
Bow Wow (featuring Omarion) - Let Me Hold You: C
Gavin Degraw - Follow Through: nfe
Gwen Stefani - Luxurious: B (Steve, if you've heard B.I.G.'s "Big Poppa," then you've heard a slightly faster version of the Isley Brothers sample that underlies this entire song.)
David Banner - Play: C+ (Way to blatantly rip off a filthy intelligence-insulting hit with one of your own, you college graduate, you.)
Keith Urban - You'll Think Of Me: nfe (I don't understand how this crossed over after all this time. The record this is on came out three years ago. This is a recurrent song on the AC chart, for crying out loud. The AC chart!)
The All-American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret: B (Steve, you haven't heard this yet, either?. This got better over time.)
T-Pain - I'm Sprung: D- (I've only heard this once, but I gathered a more Caribbean styled Akon.)
Rihanna - If It's Lovin' That You Want: n/a
Nelly - Fly Away: C- (This was dreck even back when St. Louis was the only pop station playing it.)
Young Jeezy (featuring Akon) - Soul Survivor: F (For an explanation, look in this topic in the Urban forum.)
50 Cent (featuring Mobb Deep) - Outta Control: B-
Carlos Santana (featuring Michelle Branch) - I'm Feeling You: C- ("Game of Love" was fine, but I'm through with Michelle Branch, I think. This sucks. And its title is an awkward attempt to be "hip.")
Howie Day - She Says: nfe
Ying Yang Twins - Badd: D- (Color this song badd. And not in that cool, Michael Jackson way.)
Madonna - Hung Up: B+ (So far. Caught most of this the other day driving back to Memphis. She didn't even sing three words, and I knew what it was.)
Simple Plan - Crazy: nfe (But it's hard to like a song whose bridge contains the rhymes "No one seems to care/No one wants to share/I guess life's unfair" or something to that effect. Why do they insist on writing so far below their own age levels??)
Switchfoot - Stars: C (Not that I mind one bit, but I was really surprised to see this bomb so badly on pop radio.)
Veronicas - 4ever: n/a
Rob Thomas - This Is How A Heart Breaks: B (I don't understand how this didn't come anywhere close to matching "Lonely No More." It sure has stuck around for a while, though.)
Shakira - Don't Bother: n/a

[a Nick O!]

Alternative:

Nine Inch Nails - Only: A-
311 - Don't Tread On Me: A
Audioslave - Doesn't Remind Me: B
Foo Fighters - DOA: B
(Dave: Muffin basket?
(dismissed by Chris and Nate)
Dave: "I don't deserve this."
....
Taylor: "Are the muffins here yet?"
Dog: "No."
...
Dave (holding up coffee pot): "Cigar?"
Taylor: "I'll have a muffin."
Dave: "Excellent choice.")
Staind - Right Here: B (Steve, I agree. My grade stands, though.)
Shinedown - Save Me: C
Killers - All These Things That I've Done: B+
System Of A Down - Question!: B+
Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To?:B-
Foo Fighters - Best Of You: B+
Disturbed - Stricken: B+
Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body: B (so far)
Trapt - Stand Up: B-
Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country: A+
White Stripes - My Doorbell: B-
Seether - Remedy: D+ (Okay, I can see the longevity of "Fine Again" and whatever the second one was called, but this song sucks a little less than "Gasoline" did, so there's no excuse.)
Strokes - Juicebox: n/a
Korn - Twisted Transistor: nfe
30 Seconds To Mars - Attack: A-
System Of A Down - Hypnotize: nfe
Weezer - Perfect Situation: nfe
10 Years - Wasteland: B-

Default - Count On Me: C+
HIM - Rip Out The Wings Of A Butterfly: A
Morningwood - Nth Degree: n/a
Fray - Over My Head (Cable Car): nfe
Living Things - Bom Bom Bom: nfe (Steve, they're an acclaimed very political band that originated in the St. Louis area. Their songs aren't as strong as they probably should be, in my opinion.)
blink-182 - Not Now: n/a
Weezer - We Are All On Drugs: B+
Disturbed - Guarded: B+ (But it's been so long since I last heard it.)
Gorillaz - Dare: B+ (Could definitely creep into A range, though.)
Queens Of The Stone Age - Burn The Witch: nfe
3 Doors Down - Live For Today: nfe (I hardly even remember this song anymore, it's been so long since I heard it.)
Mudvayne - Forget To Remember: A- (Oh wow, this came back on?)

CHR/Rhythmic

Ying Yang Twins (featuring Pitbull) - Shake: D- (What's this? Another intelligence-insulting YYT single? I'm shocked. Shocked, I say!)
Trina (featuring Kelly Rowand) - Here We Go: nfe
Twista (featuring Trey Songz) - Girl Tonite: F (Another intelligence-insulting song from the hip hop community. Way to go, boys.)
Ray J - One Wish: nfe
D4L - Laffy Taffy: F (See "Girl Tonite.")
Three 6 Mafia - Stay Fly: C+ (Best Triple 6 single in 5 years, making that two! Two tolerable singles! Ah, ah, ah, ah...)
Lil' Kim - Lighters Up: F[/color] (*whispered* Um, Lil' Kim? You're not Caribbean. Think about that in jail, you perjuring broad.)
Mario (featuring Juvenile) - Boom: n/a
Dem Franchize Boyz (featuring Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, and Bow Wow) - They Like Me (remix): F[/color] (It's yet more I-I (that's my new abbreviation for intelligence-insulting) hip hop bulls***, that's what it is. Seriously, this is in the Top 5 of 2005's worst songs, I would hope.)
Marques Houston - Naked: D- (And what's up with these over-sexed late teen and early 20-something R&B crooners?? I mean, Jesus.)
Destiny's Child - Cater 2 U: D (And it's f***in' stupid how she tells her man to take his shoes off and then untie his shoe strings. What's the point if he's already got his shoes off, you dumb broad?)
Chamillionaire - Turn It Up: F[/color] (Doesn't the urban community have anything more intelligent to say than all this bulls***? I would hope so.)
Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley - Welcome To Jamrock: B
Lyfe Jennings - Must Be Nice: C (Just boring.)
Juelz Santana - There It Go (The Whistle Song): nfe (But this is already D-F range.)
P$C (featuring T.I. & Lil' Scrappy) - I'm A King: nfe (Steve, it stands for Pimp Squad Click and though I don't recall for sure, I'm just assuming they're too stupid to spell "click" correctly for its usage. It's T.I.'s posse. Low C-D range.)
Twista (featuring Pitbull) - Hit The Floor: n/a
Paul Wall (featuring Big Pokey) - Sittin' Sidewayz: B-
Ciara - And I: C (Two "crunk"tacular jams, one blah jam, and now a dull ballad.)

Rhymefest (featuring Kayne West) - Brand New: n/a
Missy Elliott - Teary Eyed: n/a
Purple Ribbon Allstars (featuring Big Boi & Killa Mike) - Kryptonite: nfe (I've seen this song once on BET, and though it wasn't very good, apparently "Kryptonite" is slang for some codeine-laced drink or something, so BET and MTV have to call it "I'm on It" and blank out the "kryp" part.)

Urban:[/u]

Alicia Keys - Unbreakable: D (She gets a fluke every once in a while, but her music is so f***ing boring.)
R. Kelly - Slow Wind: nfe (While I don't recall if I actually liked it, I credit R. for making a song that doesn't sound exactly like all the other raunchy dreck he's been putting out for the last 5+ years. And it's "wind" with a long "i" sound.)
Charlie Wilson - Charlie Last Name: Wilson - nfe
Ginuwine - When We Make Love: n/a
Jazze Pha (featuring Cee-Lo) - Happy Hour: n/a
Fantasia - Ain't Gonna Beg: n/a

Busta Rhymes (featuring Ol' Dirty Bastard) - Where's Your Money: n/a (Though I'd love to hear this.)
Young Rome (featuring Marques Houston - For Your Love: F
Young Jeezy - Go Crazy: n/a

Pretty Ricky - Your Body: F
Rihanna - Pon De Replay: D (One of the most unoriginal sounding songs of the year ends up becoming one of the biggest. What an effing surprise.)
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.: B+ (I think I still like "Clint Eastwood" and "19-2000" (dance remix) a little more than this though.)
Frankie J - More Than Words: C+ ("Don't Wanna Try" is his only really good song.)
Pussycat Dolls - Don't Cha: F+
Akon - Belly Dancer (Bananza): C+ (Definitely catchy, but I still haven't decided if it's in a good way or a bad way.)

Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes: C+
Papa Roach - Scars: B-
Missy Elliott (featuring Ciara) - Lose Control: D
Pussycat Dolls - Stickwitu: C (Much more listenable than "Don't Cha", but still undeserving of moving into the top 30 that fast.)
Ashley Simpson - Boyfriend: D
Black Eyed Peas - Dont' Lie: B (The only listenable release off Monkey Business. It should be this that's top 5 and gaining, not "My Lovely Lady Lumps".)
Mariah Carey - Don't Forget About Us: B (The same grade as "We Belong Together", because they're the same song.)

Gavin Degraw - Follow Through: C+ (Why is this still gaining.)
Gwen Stefani - Luxurious: n/a (All I've heard is a 30 second clip. Based on that it will probably rank somewhere between "Cool" and the other three singles.)
David Banner - Play: n/a
Keith Urban - You'll Think Of Me: C+
All-American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret: B (Why don't they have a single on the alternative chart? Have they turned into a pop band (in the eyes of radio programmers) already?)
T-Pain - I'm Sprung: n/a (who?)
Rihanna - If It's Lovin' That You Want: B (How about cutting back on the "Pwn3d Replay" and playing this more.)

[friday]

Kanye West - Gold Digger: F
Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You: F[/b] (Either that or D-, but it doesn't matter because she takes songs that seem respectable and manages to completely mess them up by simply opening her mouth. This is no exception and the fact that it's her trademark anyway makes it all the more worse.)
Mariah Carey - Shake It Off: F (Yeah, ego-coddling of the worst kind here. And in the last four years, I cannot recall a time when all of the top 3 songs deserved an F. Absolutely horrible.)
Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends: A- (I hate to say it, but the video actually wound up having a negative impact on the song. Otherwise, it'd be another A+ for them.)
Black Eyed Peas - My Humps: D (This is so horrible it's actually hilarious. I mean, I'll almost never listen to it if it's on the radio, but that "lovely lady lumps" line, for example, is so dumb I can't take it seriously.)

Taproot - Calling: C+

Living Things - Bom Bom Bom: n/a
Blink 182 - Not Now: B+
Weezer - We Are All On Drugs: B+
Disturbed - Guarded: C+ (Not to mention that in comparison with "Stricken", this is sorely mediocre for them.)

[radical347]

Chr-Pop:
Kanye West - Gold Digger: F[/color]
Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You: C (How utterly forgettable this, and she, have become.)
Mariah Carey - Shake It Off: F
Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends: B-
Black Eyed Peas - My Humps: F- (There's no explanation for this other than they must be trying to be this bad.)
Nickelback - Photograph: B- (This is the type of song that would be more enjoyable if I was still fed up with everything. But this does not belong on KPRI.)
Weezer - Beverly Hills: B+
Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down: B
Bow Wow (featuring Ciara) - Like You: F[/color]
Lifehouse - You And Me: B (Though it's still weird to constantly hear Lifehouse on pop these days.)
Chris Brown (featuring Juelz Santana)- Run It: F[/color] (I finally heard this. What a tragedy.)
Pretty Ricky - Your Body: F+[/color] (So's this one.)
Rihanna - Pon De Replay: F+[/color] (Why hasn't this gone away yet?)
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.: A-
Frankie J - More Than Words: nh/dr
Pussycat Dolls - Don't Cha: F (still the #2 worst song of 2005)(And still only an F[/b] and not a minus? My, you're getting lenient, Steve...) (Addendum: This does not belong on Star 94.)[/color]
Akon - Belly Dancer (Bananza): nh/dwt even though I could tolerate "Lonely"
D.H.T. - Listen To Your Heart: B-
Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes: C+
Papa Roach - Scars: C
Missy Elliott (featuring Ciara) - Lose Control: nh/dr
Pussycat Dolls - Stickwitu: nh/dwt
Ashley Simpson - Boyfriend: D (The DJ on Channel 93.3 was talking about how she recovered so beautifully from the SNL mishap. )
Black Eyed Peas - Don't Lie: C- (I'll give them that this is the most tolerable from them in what seems like decades, but Star 94 should not be playing this either.)
Mariah Carey - Don't Forget About Us: F (One more red-letter and here's looking at the next Destiny's Child).
Ryan Cabrera - Shine On: B- (for now. I heard it for the first time this morning on AT40, right after 'Mr. Brightside'... Lol.)
Sean Paul - We Be Burning (Legalize It): n/a (I wouldn't call him to be a spokesperson to legalize anything, though.)(Yep...)
Gwen Stefani - Cool: B+
Marcos Hernandez: If You Were Mine: n/a (who?)
Click Five - Just The Girl: D+ (And this wouldn't even be that bad if it wasn't so... ehh, forgive me for using this word, camp.)
Bow Wow (featuring Omarion) - Let Me Hold You: F[/color]
Gavin Degraw - Follow Through: B (But this should not be here again.)
Gwen Stefani - Luxurious: nh/dwt (My No Doubt-obsessed buddy said there's a total of one tolerable song on LoveAngelMusicBaby besides "Cool" and this isn't it)
David Banner - Play: nh/dr (who?)
Keith Urban - You'll Think Of Me: B (Of course this is here now. It's the natural next step after spending 8 months on Hot AC.)
All-American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret: B
T-Pain - I'm Sprung: nh but it doesn't look promising
Rihanna - If It's Lovin' That You Want: nh/dr
Nelly - Fly Away: C-, I guess
Young Jeezy (featuring Akon) - Soul Survivor: nh/dr (Jeezy? WTF?)
50 Cent (featuring Mobb Deep) - Outta Control: D+
Carlos Santana (featuring Michelle Branch) - I'm Feeling You: C- (And this is probably going to fall even further the more I hear it, they should have stopped while they were ahead)
Howie Day - She Says: A-[/color] (But this four-year-old-song does not need to be here either and they've already released it enough times)
Ying Yang Twins - Badd: nh/dwt
Madonna - Hung Up: B for now, but it could go either way
Simple Plan - Crazy: nh/dwt
Switchfoot - Stars: C (At least they've seemingly dumped the pretentiousness but this is still bland)
Veronicas - 4ever: nh/dwt but for some reason I'm intrigued.
Rob Thomas - This Is How A Heart Breaks: B+
Shakira - Don't Bother: nh/dr

Alternative:
Nine Inch Nails - Only: A-
311 - Don't Tread On Me: B (This doesn't sound that much different than everything else by them recently though)

Foo Fighters - DOA: B
Staind - Right Here: nh/dwt
Shinedown - Save Me: nh/dr
Killers - All These Things That I've Done: D (I'm gritting my teeth and limiting the effects of Island's gross immorality and inconsiderateness to this song, it being the least tolerable on the album to begin with.)

OH MY GOD. THIS REPORT CARD HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED BECAUSE I'M LISTENING TO THE TRIPLE A STATION AND "LET'S GET IT STARTED" JUST CAME ON. SMH.[/color]

System Of A Down - Question!: B-
Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To?:C+ (I like the title but I'm just not feelin' it.)
Foo Fighters - Best Of You: B+ (The Foo Fighters really should be getting pop hits with most of their songs, especially now with the top 10 being 40% crossovers.) (Tell that to Hits 106, who played most of their songs.)
Disturbed - Stricken: nh/dr
Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body: B (For some reason this isn't as cool now that 91X, FM 94.9, and KPRI play this all the time, and I'm also mad that this is his song that took off and not "Such Great Heights")
Trapt - Stand Up: C
Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country: C-
White Stripes - My Doorbell: A-
Seether - Remedy: nh/dr
Strokes - Juicebox: B-[/b] (so far)

System Of A Down - Hypnotize: C+
Weezer - Perfect Situation: B
10 Years - Wasteland: nh/dr
My Chemical Romance - The Ghost Of You: nh/dr

Offspring - Next To You: nh/dr
Taproot - Calling: B-
Default - Count On Me: nh/dr
HIM - Rip Out The Wings Of A Butterfly: nh/dr
Morningwood - Nth Degree: B+ (Although, I could see this being the type of song that would get 70x on pop stations and that would not be a good thing.)
Fray - Over My Head (Cable Car): A-
Living Things - Bom Bom Bom: B (Though for some reason FM 94.9 is playing "Bombs Below," which is worse)
Blink 182 - Not Now: nh/dr
Weezer - We Are All On Drugs: B
Disturbed - Guarded: nh/dr
Gorillaz - Dare: A-[/color]
Queens Of The Stone Age - Burn the Witch B (Lol.)
3 Doors Down - Live For Today: nh why are they still on alternative.
Mudvayne - Forget To Remember: nh/dr

A. C.
Rob Thomas - Lonely No More: C I heard a slower mix of this on KYXY so I would have said that could explain it except all the other times I heard it on other AC stations they played the regular version. I don't know either.
Michael Buble - Home: C+
Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway: B
Mariah Carey - We Belong Together: C-
Eagles - No More Cloudy Days: C- (What a ridiculously overrated band that's just riding off their success from unnecessary singles in the first place.)
Anna Nalick - Breathe (2AM): C (Up 1/3 from last time for finally realizing that no song is too good to not have a follow-up.)
Backstreet Boys - Incomplete: D
Kimberley Locke - I Could: C+
Carrie Underwood - Inside Your Heaven: D-
Goo Goo Dolls - Give A Little Bit: C+ (what's this still doing here.)
Hootie And The Blowfish - One Love: B- (I actually think that by this point they could have a hit again if they lost the name. "Hootie" and "Blowfish" are ridiculous words and the novelty wore off 1/3 of the way through their first hit.)
Jon Secada - Window To My Heart: nh but interested and LOL @ him still trying
Eric Clapton - Say What You Will: nh and judging by what I've heard from his latest album dwt
Delta Goodrem - Lost Without You: B-
Jim Brickman (with Wayne Brady) - Beautiful: B-
Natalie Grant - Held: nh/dr

Josh Kelly - Only You: C
3 Doors Down - Let Me Go: B-
Bon Jovi - Have A Nice Day: nh/dr
Train - Get To Me: F[/color]
3 Doors Down - Here By Me: C (When I'm Gone. Let Me Go. Here By Me. Umm, what else do we have. Here Without You? Live For Today? Gah, do they know how to name their songs anything other than three of the most overused words in the English language? )
Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl: F+
Natasha Bedingfield - These Words: D+
Liz Phair - Everything To Me: nh and hopefully it's staying that way
Def Leppard - No Matter What: D
Tommy Lee (featuring Butch Walker) - Good Times: nh/dr

Triple A
David Gray - The One I Love: B+
Neil Young - The Painter: B+
Bonnie Raitt - I Will not Be Broken: B, I guess
Aqualung - Brighter Than Sunshine: D- (Joins "Always Be My Baby," "Fantasy," and "Better Man" in the league of annoying songs with undeservedly cool intros.)
Dave Matthews Band - Dreamgirl: D
Tracy Chapman - Change: B-
U2 - City Of Blinding Lights: A
Nickel Creek - When In Rome: C-
Herbie Hancock (featuring John Mayer) - Stitched Up: A-[/color]

Van Morrison - Stranded: B-
Jack Johnson: Breakdown: B
Eric Clapton - Revolution: D-
