#3 on Modern Rock
I don't know if this is going #1 or no...You're Gonna Go Far Kid is rising as much as this one. This one slowed down a bit this week

Hopefully You're Gonna Go Far, Kid will keep it out of the top
And it still has a 100+ bullet.....

ugh Sex On Fire is about to become the worst Modern Rock #1 since "Survivalism" by NIN in 07.
Top 3 worst #1s of the millennium if "Sex On Fire" gets there (assuming it will)
1. Jane's Addiction - "Just Because" 2. Nine Inch Nails - "Survivalism" 3. Kings Of Leon - "Sex On Fire"

For me, it's "Ch-Check It Out" followed closely by "Hit That" and "Believe."

Hey, it's infinitely better than "Psycho" and "Believe" and even the likes of "Fake It" which all hit this year.
I was excited for "Survivalism" at the time but I'll admit it's not that good. But hey, there's way worse. I give it a B- which admittedly I only have "Deep" below that grade as far as singles. Looking back, '06 had fairly good #1's. (different subject I realize)
From least favorite to favorite, of the mentioned: Jane's Addiction Beastie Boys Kings of Leon Nine Inch Nails/The Offspring (interchangable quality)

"Just Because" is ineligible anyway because it didn't even get to #1.

Yeah, because like "Like a Stone" and "Bring Me to Life" it hit #1 on Billboard but not R&R. The setback on all accounts? Linkin Park.

If we're going by this decade alone, I think it would actually be easier to discuss which Alternative #1's were THE BEST!

No wonder I don't spend much time in the Rock thread...such blatant snobbery against good music! I am not speaking for everyone, obviously but every song that hits doesn't have to be a high-brow masterpiece, just a good tune, which this song CLEARLY is.

This discussion cannot be complete without the mention of "Hero" and "So Far Away".
The irony of the insinuation of snobbery toward those who don't like a Kings of Leon song. Lol.
I never understood how "Survivalism"'s hooks were so difficult to pick up upon, but yeah, 'whatever' indeed.

And since WHEN everyone has to agree that this song, or that song, or whatever song, is good? Such small-minded opinions.

It is what it is...anyway, so excited to see these guys for the first time tomorrow, after I ignored them during APW and saw the Roots instead. I had to go and download the last two albums after looking at recent setlists and not recognizing more than half the material. I only knew their newest album until yesterday! They play around 23 songs a show! Impressive! I can now say (though I admit to not having heard the first album) that this is definitely their best album so I am glad I started with it. Caleb's vocals are much better now than before. It's annoying that they insist on playing Charmer. That song is so obnoxious. I am a little worried because they are playing back to back shows in Boston, which means some of my favorites could be left out easily. They better play the following at my show: Crawl, Sex On Fire, Use Somebody, MANHATTAN, Revelry, Cold Desert, Knocked Up, On Call and McFearless. There are some songs I would love to hear but they don't seem to play them. The rest of their setlist I don't really care about.

YES! Another reason to love that song. Was someone getting road head, perchance? Ahhh, how I crave.

1. Jane's Addiction - "Just Because" What?Someone has seemed to forgotten our recent #1, "Believe"... Believe isnt bad, just way too average to be #1, not as bad as the 3 above, or a song you pointed out as well, Crazy Town's "Butterfly"

Worst #1's of the millenium: 1. Crazy Town - "Butterfly" 2. Staind - "Believe" 3. Shinedown - "Save Me" I actually tolerate #3 pretty well, but nice set. Two of mine personally come from the same artist ("She Hates Me" & "Psycho", POM). Or the inclusion of "Hero" isn't that wrong, either.
