I did this awhile back... there are surveys I get in e-mail from a local radio station asking me to rate the new music they play... I got another one today, thought I would post it here.  What do you think about some of this new music?  Just rate the songs 1 to 5, 5 being the best, 1 means you hate it.  If you haven't heard it just put "haven't heard it".  I will post mine later.

When I'm Gone-- 3 Doors Down 3 - average.
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous-- Good Charlotte 1 - annoying and overplayed.
Don't Know Why-- Norah Jones 4.5 - very very good, and a change to what we're used to seeing on the mainstream.
Don't Mess With My Man-- Nivea 2. Just blah.
Beautiful-- Christina Aguilera 3.5 - Pretty good for a singer I can't stand.
She Hates Me-- Puddle of Mudd 5 - awesome.
Cry Me a River-- Justin Timerlake 1 - good tune, but lyrics/vocals ruin the song.
Landslide-- Dixie Chicks 3 - annoyingly catchy.
I'm With You-- Avril Lavigne 1 - Help Us.
Picture-- Kid Rock 4 - very well performed.
I'd Do Anything-- Simple Plan 1 - annoyingly catchy, but overplayed and poser-ness deducts points. Plus, the lyrics suck.
Game of Love-- Santana 3 - Didn't like it at first, started to like it, but overplayed.
Bother-- Stone Sour 5 - This song is great.
All the Things She Said-- T.A.T.U. 4 - Addictive.
Bump, Bump, Bump-- B2K 1.5 - One of many reasons why I hate MTV (or, at least the music they play on MTV).
Family Portrait-- Pink 2.5 - Eh. So-so.
For You-- The Calling Eh. 1.5
Big Yellow Taxi-- Counting Crows Destroys the original. 1.
Disease-- Matchbox Twenty 3.5 - I'm not a particular fan of Matchbox 20, but this was good.
Running-- No Doubt 2.5 - Not as good as some of their other stuff.
Unwell-- Matchbox Twenty 2 - Blah.
I Drove All Night-- Celine Dion 1 - Once again, help us.
All I Have-- Jennifer Lopez 2 - Annoying.
Cry-- Faith Hill 2 - Also annoying.
Country Girl-- DF Dub 2.5 - Not as annoying, but still...
In Da Club-- 50 Cent 4 - Addictive but still good.
Mesmerize-- Ja Rule 3 - Not as good as some of Ja Rule & company's earlier stuff.
Superman-- Eminem 3.5 - I wish he released White America instead, I liked it better.
Sympathy-- Goo Goo Dolls 2 - Liked the first two singles from "Gutterflower" better.
Dumb Girls-- Lucy Woodward 5 - I don't know why, but I really like it.

I think "Disease" is one of Matchbox Twenty's best songs.  MUCH better than "Mad Season".  Haven't had a chance to listen to the rest of the new album.

I HATE "COUNTRY GIRL" BY DF DUB.

Anything by Avril Lavigne gets a 1 from me.  :P

Simple Plan's "I'd Do Anything" is an awful song with awful vocals and awful lyrics.  Same with "Cry Me a River".

I'm getting kinda tired of hearing Pink moan about anything and everything, especially in "Family Portrait."

Fleetwood Mac's version of "Landslide" was better.

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous-- Good Charlotte
Don't care

Don't Know Why-- Norah Jones
So-so. A 3 before I knew of the football team of producers and engineers. A 2 after...

Beautiful-- Christina Aguilera
*Yawn* She is a better vocalist than most Puke Pop singers. Don't like her songs though.

She Hates Me-- Puddle of Mudd
They suck.

Cry Me a River-- Justin Timerlake
