Subject: The Best Songs of 2002?
Written By: Screwball54 on 12/22/02 at 09:30 p.m.
Now that 2002 is almost over, what do you think were the best songs and why?
My Vote:
I think "Somewhere out there" by Our laddy Peace was the best rock song. It was a decent song, and a moderate hit, but it wasn't big enough to make you sick of hearing it (then again I only listen to the top 40 station on sunday morning)
For best rap song I pick PO' Folks by Nappy Roots. It is rap, but it is not anoying like other rap artist, the message of the song is good, and it wasn't overplayed.
For best Electronic song I pick "Starry Eyed Suprise" by Paul Oakenfold. It is a decent song, and one of the few electronic songs I like.
Anybody else?

"The Game of Love" - Santana f/Michelle Branch. I go out driving just so I can be driving when I hear this song on the radio.
Other awesome songs:
"Stole" - Kelly Rowland
"The Whole World" - Outkast
"Work It" - Missy Elliot
"A Thousand Miles" - Vanessa Carlton
"Fell in Love with a Girl" - White Stripes
"Lose Yourself" - That guy
"Freak Like Me" - Sugababes I swear to God, you have to download this song. It's beyond wonderful. I can only describe it as TLC meets Nine Inch Nails.
"Hate to Say I Told You So" - The Hives
"Underneath It All" - No Doubt
"Never Gonna Stop (The Red, Red Kroovy)" - Rob Zombie
"American Girls" - Counting Crows

Well,
I agree with your point that the Nirvana song was not "new" this year. Actually, I think it was recorded in 1994, but I didn't think twice about it because the song wasn't available to hear on a widespread scale until earlier this year.

*Get the party started
Songs not mentioned that I like:
*Complicated, Sk8er boi, I'm with you(Avril lavigne... yeah I like her, so?)
*Dilemma(Nelly, Hot in Herre was pretty overplayed)
*+the rest of Alanis' album, Under Rug Swept!
*Help me
*Don't let me get me
*(that tango song) by Shakira
*Family affair
*John Rzeznik's song from Treasure Planet maybe
*and, for the list's variety, Isle Delfino's theme from Super Mario Sunshine:P game music's barely more popular now, though just on the net
What's funny is that late 2001, by pop-media's standards, is considered 2002, whilst late 2002 will be considered 2003(excluding album songs not currently released as singles). It's sorta like 3 years in 1, lol!

I've heard one other song from it - "Come Away From Me". It was just as good as "Don't Know Why". So I "don't know why" you shouldn't pick the album up. . ;D
