This. And it doesn't help that every rock and alt station out there still insists on playing it to death. I was gonna say "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", but I at least get the appeal of that one. Yeah, well there is sentimental value in "Good Riddance" Cliche or not, it just fits with graduation ceremonies. However I always preferred Eve 6's "Here's To The Night" for that. "When I Come Around" might be Green Day's most overrated song. *cough*American Idiot*cough That's my favourite Green Day song haha. It's aged better than "Holiday", "Boulevard" and "Wake Me Up" as I still hear those 3 quite often, but only ever hear AI when I choose to play it. |

Are we going by charting songs? Because there's tons that didn't. yeah, I'd say only charting songs. Can I suggest we do that in general rock discussion to avoid obscuring the airbracket? lol |

Severely disappointed that "My Own Worst Enemy" isn't leading over "Radioactive", as I love the former and have never cared at all for the latter (no offense to anybody who disagrees) #7 - Peter Murphy, "Cuts You Up" (We live in a world where people don't even know who Peter Murphy is, and that's a problem) I agree with this 100% (Murphy probably has the most consistent solo career of any Bauhaus member) and would have loved to throw in a vote for the under-appreciated "Cuts You Up" if it had been put up against something else, but my love for "When I Come Around" is too strong to resist. Also lol at "dark days of the late 80s" |

Just wondering what makes these the all-time Alt. singles. My votes are "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Drive," "The Pretender," "My Own Worst Enemy," "Madness," "How You Remind Me," "When I Come Around," and "It's Been Awhile." I think it's the inverse points system. |

That was my first guess of course. But only 9 of those in the tournament are in the top 16 using that system, and the order is wrong. A few random songs in this tourney, but it works.

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" is good, but it is still way overplayed to this day. "The Pretender" isn't my favorite Foo Fighters song, but it's a damn good one.
