A tradition unlike any other...back to back perfectos.

(This doesn't happen very often for me, why would it be a "tradition")

[Beno]

Blues Traveller sounds like the most successful shitty middle aged dad band in the world

[rowellfarm490]

At least this song managed to escape the bottom ten this time around.

Not really a lot right with it, either.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

100. My My - Seven Mary Three
I always feel like most of you would like this grungy sounding band? I hate them so no complaints here.

99. Too Much - Dave Matthews Band
I'll admit I didn't do this band any favors on this Active rock list, but no way I put Dave and Co. this low. Not even if they did a cover of a Nirvana song.

98. The Garden of Allah - Don Henley
This was terrible even for a heavy name like Don Henley.

97. Cover You In Oil - AC/DC
There is no way I tank an AC/DC song especially with a title like "Cover You In Oil". You guys and your fear of Sleaze rock lyrics. It's gotta be that, because the song is AC/DC feirce.

96. Humans Being - Van Halen
I remember even back then I couldn't do much with this Van Halen song. Sammy sounded shitty as hell in the verses. I hate vocal effects. Especially if you don't need them. Chorus isn't bad tho, but the song is a trainwreck.

95. Ain't My Bitch - Metallica
There must be some lyric thing going on with you guys, because the song is pretty fierce. I admit it sounds like the title of some  horrid "gangsta rap" travesty, but it still rocks hard.

94. So Much to Say - Dave Matthews Band
Dave really has nothing to say on Active charts. Still not as bad vocally as many of the other bands here.

93. What's Up with That - ZZ Top
Not there best. Not by a long shot, but its still miles more acceptable rock sound to me, and it has a cool sounding guitar solo. 

91. Hook - Blues Traveler
another band that has no business on Active. Nice hook tho.

90. She's Just Killing Me - ZZ Top
Not half as good as "What's up with that. At least that one had a southern rock sound. This one sounded too forced to sound like hard rock. That's not really them.

89. Down - 311
This kinda squeezed out of my bottom ten, but I care for it not.

88. But Anyway - Blues Traveler
I like the harmonicas and what not, but this sin't Active rock.

87. Sister - The Nixons
Scott Stapp? Eddie Vedder? who? It's not soo bad. I like the Matchbox 20 vibe it has in the chorus.

86. Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First) - John Mellencamp
I have no idea why this song would turn up so low. I'm guessing an 80's icons purge will be next. BTW, these are great lyrics.

85. Old Man & Me (When I Get to Heaven) - Hootie & the Blowfish
Not the best for Active, but much better than my remaining bottom 10.
