It's a Friday, so why not. Some of the best songs on this chart didn't hit the top 3.

It might be another Radiohead vote for me, but so many good songs here -- Headache, Here & Now, Hey Man Nice Shot, Summertime.

LimbsKing, Friday, 16 May 2014 13:44 (eleven years ago)

I thought this was Filter in a landslide and then I saw The Cure and Radiohead and I can't decide

Headache is an alltime jam for me, esp in the shower for some reason

sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Friday, 16 May 2014 13:49 (eleven years ago)

Probably Frank Black, but probably actually Letters to Cleo.

Diddley Hollyberry (Phil D.), Friday, 16 May 2014 13:54 (eleven years ago)

bawitdaba
don't look back in anger
just a girl

"Stutter" no question. Is it the shortest song to chart in the Modern Rock top ten?

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 16 May 2014 14:03 (eleven years ago)

song I like a ton that I probably shouldn't given how my tastes normally run: "Stupify"

Love Spit Love – Sweet Lover Hangover (4/13/96)

my god Richard Butler still scoring top tens this late?

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 16 May 2014 14:19 (eleven years ago)

Surprised that Hey Man Nice Shot only got up to #10. Feel like that song was way more popular than that.

intheblanks, Friday, 16 May 2014 14:26 (eleven years ago)

Ahhhh -- spreadsheet error on my part. That should be Love & Rockets, not Love Spit Love. My bad.

LimbsKing, Friday, 16 May 2014 14:32 (eleven years ago)

I was gonna say that looked wrong

chillin' on an "awesome pretzel" hoagie (DJP), Friday, 16 May 2014 14:33 (eleven years ago)

the only ones I can remember out of these are Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow, and Nine Days. I'm not fond of any of them. I'm sure I must have heard people playing that No Doubt song in high school but I can't remember how it goes.

smhphony orchestra (crüt), Friday, 16 May 2014 14:36 (eleven years ago)

Although Love Spit Love did have that cover of "How Soon Is Now" in 1996 (Craft soundtrack/Charmed theme)

LimbsKing, Friday, 16 May 2014 14:37 (eleven years ago)

Any reason why "Cut Your Hair" isn't here? #10 in May '94 according to Billboard.

From the list, voting for either Oasis or Filter.

Stutter

Griðian and friðian and takin' the piðian (Michael White), Friday, 16 May 2014 15:17 (eleven years ago)

"Stutter"

Bee OK, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:30 (eleven years ago)

with the Cure and Radiohead right behind that one.

Bee OK, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:31 (eleven years ago)

Just started with Headache and went for 25 songs from there.

LimbsKing, Friday, 16 May 2014 17:06 (eleven years ago)

Surprised at the "Stutter" love. Big fan of "Carsong" myself.

LimbsKing, Friday, 16 May 2014 17:06 (eleven years ago)

Here & Now
Stutter
Optimistic
Stupify
Nothing as it Seems

I also have a soft spot for Stupify. Although it sounds just like very other single of theirs that followed.

LimbsKing, Friday, 16 May 2014 18:43 (eleven years ago)

"Stutter" no question. Is it the shortest song to chart in the Modern Rock top ten?
2:21 isn't that short.

For me it's either "Stutter" or "Optimistic."

billstevejim, Friday, 16 May 2014 21:45 (eleven years ago)

I tend to come across quite a few ppl who seem to jump at every chance to blast Disturbed albums over and over, and I'm always amazed at my inability to get sick of Stupify (notably unlike any of their other songs) xxp

Headache

kornrulez6969, Saturday, 17 May 2014 16:22 (eleven years ago)

Mr. Kula's pants and belt are so totally in style now.

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 17 May 2014 20:00 (eleven years ago)

Voted for "Strong Enough" because of HAIM.

Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Saturday, 17 May 2014 20:03 (eleven years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"Head" by Tin Star (???) is the only song here I'd never heard before.

LimbsKing, Thursday, 22 May 2014 21:14 (eleven years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Friday, 23 May 2014 00:01 (eleven years ago)

I bet Blur's "Song 2" was the shortest top 10 hit on the chart in recent years. #6 hit

LimbsKing, Friday, 23 May 2014 12:16 (eleven years ago)

The Offspring's "All I Want" was even shorter, but only peaked at #13
