THIS LIST HAS 99 PROBLEMS: Coming to VH-1 for five nights next week—the Top 100 Songs of the Aughts. It is, as the Stereogum link notes, a very pop/mainstream hip hop-centered list, with the top rock songs being Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" at #5 and Green Day's "American Idiot" at #13.
Most underrated: "Stacy's Mom" down at #88; most overrated is Madonna's "Music," which doesn't belong on this list at all, let alone #28. Among the MIA? "Ms. Jackson" and "B.O.B.," Outkast; "Work It," Missy Elliott; "Take Me Out," Franz Ferdinand; "One More Time," Daft Punk; "How to Save a Life," The Fray; and even though he appears four times in the top 21, Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin'" and "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" belong on this list too.
