    • 1. Everybody is Free to Wear Sunscreen by Baz Luhrman
      Came out in 1997. Started as a graduation speech written by a Chicago columnist, Mary Schmich.This song was one of the most profoundly outspoken songs of all time.Though it didn't recieve as much publicity as it should've it was recorded on the "Something For Everybody" CD...Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

    • 10. Losing California by Sloan
      Ah, bless Canadian artists, getting airplay nowhere else ... but remember to get into yourself in dark sunglasses.
    • 9. Wonderwall by Oasis
      The genius in all of this is that everyone can relate to this solid song. Everyone has thought that there is one person that could save them, only to have it end disastrously.
    • 8. Santeria by Sublime
      More Sublime, but God damnit, it's fucking worth it.
    • 7. El Scorcho by Weezer
      Yes, Pinkerton bombed, but God damnit, if anyone had bothered listening to El Scorcho it wouldn't have.
    • 6. One Week by Barenaked Ladies
      Nothing needs to be said.
    • 5. Brick by Ben Folds Five
      Blah blah adult contemporary I know :D
    • 4. Praise You by Fatboy Slim
      Holy f*ck just the video is worth it
    • 3. Building a Mystery by Sarah McLaughlin
      Haha, I know I'm coming off as one of those adult contemporary types, which is so unlike me, but really ... another excellent song.
    • 2. Crash by Dave Matthews Band
      Anyone with half a heart could love this song the first time around ... yes, it's sappy, but damnit, it's so good!
    • 1. What I Got by Sublime
      The lyrics speak for themselves ... lovin' is what I've got ...


    By: Nate
    • 10. Minority by Green Day
      this song is just solid, and a testament to all that greenday is and represents
    • 9. Amy Hit The Atmosphere by Counting Crows
      heir best song, and a great song to listen to on a rainy day
    • 8. Chop Suey by System Of A Down

    • 5. Jesus Freak by Dc Talk
      an all time classic, never gets old, and never will - DC talks best
    • 4. Always On My Mind by Phantom Planet
      anything on their album, the guest, is sweet, but this one is the most memorable for me... one of the most underrated bands out there right now (GET THEIR MUSIC YOU FOOLS)
    • 3. Island In The Sun by Weezer
      i couldnt decide on this one, because weezer has so many sweet songs, but island in the sun is probably the one that will stand the test of time more than any other by them
    • 2. Swing Swing by The All American Rejects
      just an incredible, incredible song... your star is almost as good, but not quite.
    • 1. Big Machine by Goo Goo Dolls
