"Lost In You" would be the best bet IMO if they want to have anywhere close to "Second Chance" success. I wanted "Lost In You". f**k, "The Good Life" is by far the song I like the least on Life Starts Now and may be the worst Three Days Grace ever wrote, imo. I'm not a fan of most of their cock rock oriented stuff. As much as I love this band, I hope "The Good Life" flops hard. Wanting a band to fail because you love their other stuff more is strictly asinine. There are many bands I would love to see get chart recognition even if it was for a subpar song. And, newsflash, usually songs that chart are songs than take less chances creatively than album tracks, anyway.

Name value alone gets this top 20.

Ugh. It's not bad, it's just yet another tailor-made radio rock song from them, this one not even 3 minutes long. The only thing memorable about this song is the robot effect (not Auto-Tune) they put on the title once each time through the chorus it seems.
This had better not match "Break"'s success on either chart, because "Break" wasn't even that good of a song.

I do agree however that this is not deserving of that kind of success

Not getting the joke, Break's my favorite song of theirs... 1. Linkin Park - Numb 2. Our Lady Peace - In Repair 3. Foo Fighters - The Pretender 4. Our Lady Peace - Somewhere Out There 5. Theory Of A Deadman - So Happy 6. Linkin Park - In The End 7. Shinedown - Second Chance 8. Nickelback - Gotta Be Somebody 9. Lifehouse - Hanging By A Moment 10. Sum 41 - Fat Lip

The joke was.....that there are 10 songs by 3DG better than Break......and I don't even mind Break. I just don't think its even close to their best song.
I'm just kidding though Cody, it wasn't meant to be a serious diss or anything, everyone has their favorites of course.

alright cool well I thought you were trashing my overall taste, but whatever misunderstanding but to be perfectly honest every TDG single made the top 500, and IHEAY was actually #13, very close to Break, and separated by Hit That by The Offspring (Another track most are gonna disagree with)

Cody, no matter how much people diss your taste, or my tastes or anyone's taste.....it doesn't matter. I only ever do it in complete jest. Everyone loves the music they do for so many different reasons, that could have little to even do with the music and as much to do with the time of their life or the way a song might remind them of a person in their life.
My favorite song EVER, honestly, would probably get me mocked shamelessly on here for months.....so I'll just stick to loving it and not telling anyone

Oh I know though why not still defend myself.
And just say what the song is, I just revealed that basically my favorite song ever is from Meteora, an album which gets criticized heavily around here so most people won't be agreeing on Numb

Its all good to defend yourself man, just know that I'm basically just teasing when I say stuff like that.
I have to say that at least your favorite ever is from a staple of alternative 2000's rock.
Mine, which I'll only admit to if guessed correctly, is a pop rock song from the very early 1990's and it has meaning to me personally on many levels besides the catchy tune.
My number one song of the 2000's is Hemmorage(In My Hands) by Fuel.
I also have Second Chance and In The End in my top 10 and Lifehouse is at #22.....I'm still finishing a large part of the bottom portion of the chart.

Random guess: Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U? I donno but that was a Modern Rock #1 and huge pop hit, it fits the early 90s description

admittedly that is a song I love but no that's not it....it's really only a pop song. I highly doubt it was ever spun on Modern radio rock stations.

Is it by Roxette? They had some really good songs BTW. "It Must Have Been Love" and "Listen to Your Heart" are both great.

Funny thing...its not Roxette but I actually owned their first three albums and love a lot of their songs. I even wondered if for some reason someone might guess "Must Have Been Love" but the reason for that comes from an association that the song has to my favorite. I have a feeling it could be guessed before tomorrow, lol. I actually don't care about getting mocked about a musical taste. I was really only kidding when I even mentioned it.

"I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred?
Actually, the one I would have guessed is "Losing My Religion" by REM; that's a good song, but there's no association with "Must Have been Love".
So, choice number three, my final answer, is "Sometimes, Love Just Ain't Enough" by Patti Smith and Don Henly

On the contrary, Break ended up #11 on my top 500 of the 00s so I disagree. Jesus Christ! Already?? No songs actually released in '09 (let alone the last 4-5 months of it) made my Top 200 of the decade because I don't see how there's any way for a song released less than a couple of years ago to have a prayer measuring up to other songs with a lot longer head start. If I remade the list in a few years, which I'm sure I will, yeah, it would likely get shaken up a bit.

So, choice number three, my final answer, is "Sometimes, Love Just Ain't Enough" by Patti Smith and Don Henly ummm...no....although it's always fun to play when drunk girls are dancing. Fantastic song that would rank pretty high.....but not it Not a big fan of the song. A few songs have entered within the top 200 of the decade because they were massive songs. I couldn't really take them out just because they got released in 2009. I did try to figure out how much burn out factor they would eventually have and work that in to the numbers. On any given day though the chart could change positions so in a couple of years when i look back at it I might have to do some re-working.

I didn't mean to imply that I deliberately left 2009 songs off my chart. Just that none happened to make the cut that were actually released after January 1, 2009.

2009 must have really sucked for you then if not even your number one song of 2009 could crack the top 200 of the decade, lol jk

Obviously his favorite song of 2009 came out on January 1st. Personally, I don't need that much time to know which songs are my favorites. In fact, songs tend to lost their luster after awhile. Then again, I didn't make a best of decade list (I was 9 when this decade began), so I don't really have an opinion on much music released earlier than 2004. Unless we're talking 80s, I may be a 90s kid but I fell in love with my dad's old tapes when I was younger, Journey especially.

I feel the need to rank 3DG singles now; surprisingly, they're quite spread out. Two songs really stand out, then there's a bit of a drop, and then another drop to the bottom two.
1. Never too Late A+ 2. Home A 3. I Hate Everything About You B 4. Just Like You B- 5. Animal I Have Become C+ 6. Pain C 7. The Good Life C- 8. Riot D- 9. Wake Up F 10. Break Double F

On the contrary, Break ended up #11 on my top 500 of the 00s so I disagree. Jesus Christ! Already?? No songs actually released in '09 (let alone the last 4-5 months of it) made my Top 200 of the decade because I don't see how there's any way for a song released less than a couple of years ago to have a prayer measuring up to other songs with a lot longer head start. If I remade the list in a few years, which I'm sure I will, yeah, it would likely get shaken up a bit. Well I thought about that but I listened to Break well over 200 times before the decade ended, and I was still in love with it, so those factors along with the fact that it was #1 for the final 12 weeks of 09 really gave it a push
