No, it's not another song thread.  This covers everything that the year was about.  News, entertainment, games, and of course, music.

5.   Final Fantasy X  (PS2)  I have never played a Final Fantasy game
6.   Star Wars II:  Attack of the Clones    it was better than Phantom meanace, but still a far cry from the Golden Triligy....still, it makes me look foward to the third one
7.   Spiderman    interesting.....
8.   "Full Moon" (Brandy)   I never did like Brandy....
9.   "Hands Clean"  (Alanis Morrisette)  possibly one of the worst songs ever.....man, this is even bad for Alanis
10.  "Hot in Herre"  (Nelly)    givve me a break  (Double V was intended)
11.  Lilo & Stitch  didnt see it
12.  www.vgmix.com (a site where gamers cover music from old and new games but didn't last long.  Maybe some of you had heard of it before?) :???
13.  "Don't Know Why"  (Norah Jones)  an amazing amazing song, and amazing album, that rightfully deserved all those grammys (except best album, that should have gone to the Boss)

19.  Avril Lavigne    no comment  ::) ;D
20.  The year in general(pop culture, your life, stuff I didn't mention, etc.)    well, the garage rock comeback probably was worth mentioning...that was the best part music wise about the year.....there werent many great TV shows coming on then, and I dont remember what movies exactly came out that year...overall a piss-pore year that could have been better

Parts of Athority- Sorry I don't listen to Linken Park
Rosie O'Donnel- Well that was interesting :o
Just a Friend-  ???
Super Mario Sunshine- I didn't own a Gamecube when this game came out, and I still haven't played it.
Final Fantasy 10- It was really good, but I still prefer the older FF's compared to today's

I think avril lavange desevres the worst score possible, but I don't think 0 is bad enough.

Allow me to clear a few things up.

*Pts. of Athrty. = Points of Authority.  It was spelled this way on the remix album, but the original song was spelled properly on the original album.

*Just a friend '02 was a brand new song with new r&b rhythm and lyrics, and contained a sample of the Biz Markie's classic, only sung better.  

*VGMix.com was a website where any gamers with musical talent, acoustic or electronic, can submit remakes of the music they grew up with in their games, and people can download for free.  But due to bandwidth problems, it was all but shut down permanently.  I put this up because it was a big thing in my 2002, even though it might not have been in yours.  Just sorta thinking of the underdogs again(this time, the game music lovers.)  Go ahead and pass this if you haven't seen it last year.

*"Last episode of Family Guy."  Here, you can either talk about the last episode(the 3-in-1 episode), or just it being cancelled.

*Die Another Day.... I can't decide, lol.  Just pick one or both.

*...am I the only one who likes avril lavigne?

*The year in general.  You may talk about your personal life(not too personal of course), or stuff I didn't mention, and rate how the year turned out in retrospect.  

Hope it helps.

1.   "Pts. of Athrty." (Linkin Park, remix) 3 - what's with all the hate on Linkin Park? Yes, the lyrics are typically VERY repetitive and well, whiny....but you have to admit their sound is great. Especially the instrumentals  - Cure Of The Itch and Session.
3.   "Just a Friend '02" (Mario) 2 - Biz Markie's version was so much better (and was comedic in a way too). This song took all the fun/funny out of it.
4.   Super Mario Sunshine  (GameCube) 2.5 - most of the other Mario games are better.
6.   Star Wars II:  Attack of the Clones Not exactly crazy about Star Wars.
7.   Spiderman The movie was so bad, I felt the urge to laugh. Tobey Macguire should not have been casted.
8.   "Full Moon" (Brandy) 3
9.   "Hands Clean"  (Alanis Morrisette) I liked Jagged Little Pill so much better.
10.  "Hot in Herre"  (Nelly) 3 for novelty value.
12.  www.vgmix.com Haven't heard of this site, but it sounds like another site, Overclocked Remix...
13.  "Don't Know Why"  (Norah Jones) 3 - sometimes boring
14.  "Work It"  (Missy Elliott) A great hip-hop song, stood out as kick-ass in a pretty bad year for hip-hop.
18.  "Underneath It All"  (No Doubt) 2 - like Tragic Kingdom better.
19.  Avril Lavigne DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe
20.  The year in general(pop culture, your life, stuff I didn't mention, etc.) 2.5 - pop culture/entertainment had a pretty bad year.
